Y Mountain

Brooklyn and I went to watch the sunset up by the Y tonight but there were so many clouds we didn’t get to see much. It's such a wonderful view anyway though. These pictures don't do it justice!

She really wanted me to take her picture by this rock.

The other day Brooklyn insisted on getting her socks and shoes on without getting any of her other clothes on. I guess this is what happens when you let a 19 month old choose her own clothes!

Summer Days

Well I am sick of that dang 70's day blog and Melody got blogged out so I figured I would update our blog. I graduated last month! Well, kind of anyways. I still have one online class to finish so my official graduation will be in August. My parents were going to be here for Justin's graduation so I figured I might as well walk at the same time.

I enjoyed living in Provo so much last summer because there are so many fun places to walk and the weather is beautiful (It will be in the 70's and 80's all this week!). I would put Brooklyn in the stroller and while Melody worked we would walk up by the temple, rock canyon, the Y, Provo river and sometimes just walk with nowhere in mind. It was great because Brooklyn would take a nap the entire time. It hasn't been quite the same this year because Brooklyn doesn't like to take naps in the stroller anymore. She likes to ask to get down the whole time by saying Daddy, Daddy, down, down, down a million times. We have still had some fun though.

That current is so fast!

Brooklyn getting ready for her modeling career

There is a big field across the street from our complex and Brooklyn likes going over there to play on the grass, blow bubbles, eat bark, you know... normal stuff.

Today I brought our kite over and thought Brooklyn would have a fun time with it.

And she did have fun...until she got distracted and let go of the kite! She let go of the kite shortly after the below picture. It flew onto Bulldog Blvd, hit a van and then flew over by the BYU football practice field. Surprisingly enough the kite was not damaged! However, the van was totaled.

I thought that Brooklyn had surely learned her lesson so I let her fly the kite again but this time we went further away from the street. What I didn't think about what the huge tree in front of us.

You guessed it, at about this point Brooklyn lets go of the kite again and it flew into this huge tree. Because it was so windy the kite kept bouncing around and I'm sure I looked quite ridiculous trying to grab the bobbing kite string hanging from the tree. Brooklyn looked at me with the most innocent face each time I saved our kite. I guess next time we need to bring Mom along so one of us can hold on to the string while to other one takes the picture.

We went to Toys'R'Us the other day and we thought it would be fun to let Brooklyn ride in the Flintstone's car.

She looks happy enough right? This is what happened.

I couldn't help laughing!

We know she's probably not quite old enough yet but Brooklyn likes to tell us when she has a poopy diaper so we bought her a potty. She likes to get a magazine and go sit on her potty after her bath (I wonder where she learned that? Dang that TV) and say, "Poop. Stinky. Poop. Potty". It will be so nice when she finally figures it out!
