Happy Times!!

On Saturday, October 18 my cousin, Jim Roehl, got married at Jefferson Barracks State Park. The ceremony and reception was beautiful. Brooklyn found a boyfriend (my cousin's son, Stefan) for the night and wouldn't give up on following him around. They are the same age only 2 months between them. They were quite the entertainment for the night. They were holding hands dancing. It was so cute.

Eagle Fork Pumpkin Patch

On Friday, October 17 we went to Eagle Fork Pumpkin Patch with Alaina and Jack Lawrence. Brookie and Jack had so much fun. They are so funny together because every time one did something the other would mock it. They really liked climbing over all of the pumpkins. They got to pick out their pumpkins. When we left they were so proud of their pumpkins that they held them on there lap.

A Day at the St. Louis Zoo

On Monday, October 6 Brookie and I went to the St. Louis Zoo with Mama Debbie. The weather was great and before we know it it will be getting cold. We had a great time. The whole way down there all Brookie talked about was seeing the elephants. Here are some pictures of the day and thank you Mama Debbie for going with us.




















This is Brookie when we got to the elephants. None of them were out so I took her picture by the sign asleep in her stroller.












Brookie on the carousel, she picked the "Wild Ass" to ride on. That was the name of it.













Brookie and the monkey. It kept ignoring her and wouldn't turn around to see her.














Brooklyn loved this. You could tell all she wanted to do was go run through them but it wasn't that warm.




















Mama Debbie and Brookie. I love this monkey face of Brookie.

Brookie and Mommy with the elephants. At the first stop none of the elephants were out. But when we came around the corner there was 4 of them out. So I had to wake her up since that was all that she talked about all day long.

New Addition!!

I am so excited that some good friends of ours decided to finally have there own blog. It is Joe, Alaina and Jack Lawrence. They have been our friends for a long time now. Brooklyn loves to get together with them and play with Jack. I would just like to welcome them to the blogging world. So welcome and keep up the good work.

Playing in the Creek

All of us went for a walk in our creek the other day. We had a great time exploring. The scenery was beautiful with the rocks, water and different creatures in the water. I thought it would be a great time to get some pics of Brookie.

Brookie liked to take her shoes off and play in the sand.




Brookie on the rock ledge. She is holding a stick in her hand. She kept calling it her gun. She would hold it up and act like she was hunting.

We saw tiny fish in the creek and this was her expression.

Generation Pictures

Over labor day weekend we got some generation pictures taken on the Bauer side of the family. They turned out really good. Comical more than anything. It is very hard to get 3 girls to smile at the same time. I thought everyone would enjoy looking at the pics.You have to go the website and then put in BRANDI KAIMANN in the customer name. Have fun looking.

Bug Bites

Hi everyone just wanted to let you know that we spent half of Sunday in the ER with Brooklyn. Saturday night we were outside and Brookie got bit on the eyebrow by some kind of bug. When we woke up Sunday Morning her left eye was swollen so much that you couldn't even see her eyeball. So we went to ER and after 5 hours later we were sent home with some medicine. She didn't act like it hurt her at all. I think it hurt me more than it did her. It was awful. We went back to the doctor today to make sure the infection isn't any worse. It looks a lot better today. Still swollen some. They said that she might end up with a black eye though. I have pictures but will not be posting them as they are very sad to me. We are one of those lucky set of parents that have a child with very sensitive skin. We will now be using bug spray at all times when outside. But we are on the road to recovery.
