Another accident?????

Yep, our little guy seems to find EVERY hazardous situation to get into that he can! Two weeks ago, I came home from work and the babysitter said that he was stung by a wasp AGAIN. That makes 4 times (I haven't been stung by a wasp 4 times in MY LIFE). Last week, I came home to find he had a black eye. He loves to push over tables and found him one in the backyard.....fell on the leg of the table. More to follow, I am sure!

Talk about money down the drain, literally! Here's a story.......he loves to play with these large leggos and carries them around the house. His other obsession is water, which we all know. Put these two together and you get a large leggo in the toilet. Of course it went down in the toilet hole (what's that thing called, anyway?), and $260 later our plumbing was fixed. Nice.

I know this picture doesn't quite fit in, but look at my sweet little Bella! She turned into a Chihuahua after her last hair cut. I didn't mean SHAVE her:(

Uncle Bronco gave Brooks a new dump truck. He pushes it while saying "vroooooommmm"

Jay and Brooks on the 4th

4th of July pool time fun

"yum, these are so good!"

Learning to eat with a spoon but would much rather get as much as he can and shovel in his mouth. We have got to learn better table manners!

Not a very good picture but black eye on top lid with a scrape down to his nose

"Mom, I HATE these haircuts. I am going to jump, I swear!"

*****P.S. Trent informed me that in all my previous posts I have misspelled agua. I was spelling aqua, like the color. Ooops......I never claimed to be a proficient speller in Spanish

Hot Summer Fun

Hot is definitely the word! Thank goodness for "aqua!" Yes, Brooks is still obsessed with water:) Now that he is on his feet, he is getting more and more brave. This past month he was been stung 3 times by a wasp, jammed the corner of his eye into coffee table, had several head scratches and got roseola. It might seem that I don't keep a good eye on him, but it all happens so fast! Who would know that he would try to pick up a wasp....really? The same day he bumped his eye, I looked over and saw him chewing on something. I guess the mulch in the yard is good? Wow.......

See the booboo on the corner of his eye. Yes, he is watering the wood bench.

What else do the guys do on Father's Day but watch the Masters?

The guys eating on Father's Day.....how blessed Brooks is to have these two in his life

Loves the fountains

Old McDonald's Farm.....

Well, we had a cat for awhile! I don't like to think of myself as a "cat person," but I do like them, I have to admit. I found a sweet, little kitten in the bushes at work. No momma cat, so I decided to surprise Trent with his new house guest. Trent actually liked the little fella that we named Blue. However, the less than 1 pound kitten quickly learned to come in the house thru the doggy door. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN OUTSIDE CAT ONLY, as Trent is "allergic" to cats. Well, I found a home for Blue, but I really miss him:(

In addition to that eventful weekend, we got to see little Chase (oh, Meg and Doug too)! I wish Brooks would have been more playful, but he got his first ear infection that weekend. I tell ya, it sure was fun waiting 2 hours on Memorial Day weekend at the urgent care center with sick kids everywhere. These kids have grown quite a bit compared to last year.......

"Why does this Brooks kid keep screaming?" (beginning of the ear infection)

Ahhh......see how adorable he is (so sweet and cuddly too)

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That.......

Now that Brooks is a TODDLER, I will just post pics of special events, etc. instead of his monthly "chair" pic. For some reason, these pictures are posting blurry??? Each week Brooks is saying more and more words......"aqua, glasses, bottle, aqua, dog, Bella, aqua, thank you (tank you), juice, and aqua!" He happens to be obsessed with the most messy and inconvenient activity.....aqua. Nope, we don't like watching "Thomas the Train," playing with cars indoors, cartoons, etc. like several kiddos I know. Brooks likes water.....any and all kinds. He doesn't care if it is in the toilet, water hose, bucket, faucet, pool or showering down from above! Oh, and did I mention that he now heads right out the doggy door toward the water hose (head first, of course).

"Rain.....what's that?" We haven't had any rain in MONTHS. This is, however, a very cheap and easy activity. I wish it would rain more:)

Alex came to visit and got some exercise chasing Brooks!

Pool time

Yes, he likes to be dunked (literally) and put his face in the water

We went over to Kim and Austin's house. I usually try to keep all doors to bathrooms closed. Remember the aqua......disgusting! Caught red-handed in the toilet.....ughhh!

Brooks and Layton.......much different from their first play date last year

Brooks LOVES Berta

A little back-tracking.....in April, I went to San Antonio with my girlfriends. Brooks got a vacation as well. He went to his GREAT Aunt Rhonda's house in Boerne. Too bad he didn't get any attention (ha ha).....
