6 Months Old

Isn't she CUTE!!??

I can't believe she is 6 months old. She does have 2 bottom teeth that are in.

Pictures were also taken with her Grandpa and Grandma Austin.

Camping and Crab Feed 2009

Brooke enjoyed her first camping trip for the crab feed in Halfway, Oregon. Once we got there she talked nonstop!! She did so, so good. She loved being outside and sitting around the campfire. She even held her first pinecone and pineneedle. Grass wasn't ready to be explored yet. ;>) She slept great in the camper. We are set to go on more camping trips!!

Brooke and Daddy!!
She was watching all kinds of people. We are so glad she likes being in her backpack. Thank goodness we were able to borrow that camo snowsuit. It was perfect. The weather was just right. Not too cold to wait in line to get into the crab feed.

Our friends.... Jason, Kelly, John and Joni and behind me is Peat and Kate.

Crab was very, very good. We all ate way too much but that is what you're there for.

Brooke fell asleep as we got in and settled. While she slept in my arms Darin feed me big chunks of Crab!! Yummy.

Down for a catnap by the fire at our campsite.

New Calf!

Here is Momma with her new baby! Darin found him all cleaned up this morning.

He is big boy weighing at 98 lbs!

5 months old!

Brooke is growing and is more fun each day. She is such a happy little girl that melts Daddy's heart.
She loves storytime at the Library on Wednesdays and visits to our friend Amanda's house to play with her kids. She is learning to take a bottle and so far it is going ok. She has moved to the crib and is mostly sleeping through the night! Her favorite thing to do is to stand. She laughs when she does it. She almost can sit up on her own. We are still working on her rolling on to her tummy. By next month she should be eating, crawling, sitting and drinking all on her own! Where does the time go?

Brooke is 4 months old!!

Hi everyone!! Hugs and Kisses to OMA and PAPPA, AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS and GRANDMA and GRANDPA!!

I am discovering my voice and love to talk and scream so loud in the mornings!! I like to touch Mommy and Daddy's faces, taking my baths at night where I splash water all over the tub. I also enjoy my Saucer/bouncer. I am drooling a lot and like to chew on other people fingers and I love when Mommy and Daddy massages my gums. I can't wait for warmer weather so that Mommy and I can go outside more.

Winter Wonderland

We went for a Saturday afternoon drive up to Anderson Dam. It was a beautiful drive and saw a few bald eagles, deer, elk and antelopes.
