We went to the Davis County Fair today. Brooklyn got to ride the pony. Then she got to go on some rides, and then feed and pet some animals!! She loved it and just wanted to keep doing everything.

Happy Birthday to Curtis!

Today was Curtis's birthday. We went to PF Chang's for dinner, and then to the Gateway to see GI Joe. Happy Birthday! We love you!

Davis Family Vacation to Idaho

August 10 and 11 we went to Idaho on vacation. First we went to the Potato Museum in Blackfoot Idaho. The coolest thing was the big potato out front. After that we went out to eat and then to the Pocatello Zoo. It was actually a pretty good zoo and it cost quite a bit less than the Hogle Zoo does. Then we went to Downata Hot Springs and swam and went down the big water slides. We stayed in cabins that night and the next morning we packed up and went to Bear Lake on the way home. Brooklyn's favorite thing to do at Bear Lake was to fill her boat with the wet sand. After Bear Lake we stopped and got Raspberry shakes (yum-my fave!) and then drove to Logan for dinner. Then we headed home. It was lots of fun!

Take my picture mommy!

Sometimes Brooklyn will say "Take my picture mommy." She only means it about half the time. The other half of the time she runs away or hides her face or won't smile. Anyway, these are some of those pictures, and a few random pictures.


"Washing things" in the sink. It is the only way I can get her to stand still long enough to let me so her hair.



She wanted me to take her picture and she wanted to take some too with her Elmo camera.



Messy watermelon face (and nap hair.)




Wanted her picture taken with her friend "Balloon".



Being a stinker and not smiling.



Being good and smiling. (=

3, 2, 1 Blast Off!

We went to the mall today and Brooklyn wanted to ride the rocket...

Taking off...



Upon landing...

Chocolate-the magic cure-all

The other day Brooklyn told me her tummy hurt and then she added- "I need some chocolate."
I always knew it had magical healing properties but I was just surprised how quickly Brooklyn picked up on that. Plus we always say that most of my mom's side of the family are major chocoholics, so I am sure Brooklyn inherited some of that too. (=

Lagoon

We went to Lagoon on Thursday. We went on my parents Lagoon Day because our Stake Lagoon Day was on our Anniversary. This is the first time Brooklyn has had a real pass. (She has gone before but just ridden the "Free" rides.) We looked at pictures of the rides online before we went and she was soooo excited to ride the "wet raft" (aka Rattlesnake Rapids.)


First she went on some kiddie rides, which I was very good about taking pictures of...then when she started riding the bigger rides I wasn't so good with the camera. )=

Anyway, she loved all the rides, despite the funny faces she is making in the pictures. She would get off and either say she wanted to go on them again or that she wanted to ride another one. She never wanted to stop going on rides because she was scared. She is kind of a little daredevil-she has no fear. She liked Rattlesnake Rapids, The Log Flume ride (is that what it is called?), the Odyssea ride, Tilt-a-whirl, the "mini swings," and she LOVED the Musical Express (which has always been one of my favorites too, so I think it might be an inherited trait (-;. The only she didn't love was the Tidal Wave. Curtis was kind of a party poop on the rides but Brooklyn and I had fun!
