Halloween!

On our way to Grandma's!



Modeling her cosutme



So "beary" tired...Too tired to Trick or Treat before we even got started?! Actually she did really well. We decided to do some Trick or Treating in Grandma Davis's neighborhood this year. It was lots of fun!

Riding in the car



Wearing the "back-up" bear costume hat (in case she wouldn't wear the hood)




Riding so fast on her bouncy horse

Halloween Party

Brooklyn had a little Halloween Party this year with a few friends. She talked about it for days after wards and would mention who she had come-Mary Poppins, Little Mermaid, Skeleton-Bat, Monkey, Witch, and Geisha girl. I thought it was funny that she only mentioned real names once or twice and usually told people about her party by telling them "who" came by what they dressed up as. Brooklyn really wanted to be a scary monster for Halloween this year (not a princess like most of the other girls her age.) I bought her bear costume last year and was determined that she wear it though, (plus where do you find a girl monster cosutme?) so I told her she could be a scary bear. So she told everyone she was a scary bear and then she would growl at them just to prove it.
We played some games (pin the nose on the pumpkin, drop the ghost sucker in the cauldron, cup cake walk, bobbing for apples with prizes inside, coloring Halloween pictures, passing around a pumpkin with Halloween things to do ie stand like a scarecrow wrap your leg in TP like a mummy) and had treats. It was fun!

So excited the morning of her party!





Some of the treats (Mummy cookies and spider and bat cupcakes)



Some of the cute kids with their costumes!

Daddy and Brooklyn

Just thought this picture was super cute! (Brooklyn wanted to take it after Daddy showed her a picture of him holding her right after she was born.)



And this is what happens when Brooklyn insists she can take a picture by herself


(And I won't post the one she took of me, she missed my head completely...(=

Date night


We finally had a date night! Tonight Curtis and I went to the Cinegrill in Salt Lake. It was pretty good, I actually think I have been there before with some friends, but I didn't remember that until we actually got in there. The location isn't the greatest but other than that I liked it.
After that we went to see the School House Rock Play. I got some free tickets to it. It was kinf of fun...the only songs I really remembered from when I was young were "Conjunction junction" and "I'm just a Bill..."

(For some reason I can't ever remember to take pictures when it is just Curtis and I though, so these are my "pretend" pictures instead.)

Brooklyn's new favorite things

Brooklyn loves to do the exercise song Chicken Fat (from President Kennedy's time I just found out.) My mom had a tape of it and Brooklyn did it at their house and she just keeps doing it over and over again. Here are some pic's of her doing her "Ekercises"
Push ups-






Marching in place


Sit-ups


Jumping jacks (I think)



And her other new favorite thing to do-
Make trains! Which means putting everything she can think of in a line and then sitting on a part of the "train" while saying chug a chugga choo choo and "going" everywhere you can imagine! (It makes such a big mess but she loves and has so much fun!)
