Reading a Book

Brooke loves her books...this is the only one I'll let her chew on! LOL

Shhh don't bug me I'm reading!

Cookie or Cow???

Brooke's first cookie experience!

She's not sure if she wants the cookie or the cow! LOL

MMMM Cookie!!!

What a Smart Girl!

She is so smart eh?! Picking her feet up so she doesn't have to spend all her energy! lol

Random Pictures

Playing with Daddy! She looked so happy and like she was having such a great time I couldn't help but take the picture!
This is an outfit I found in the basement that fits her now, and almost would have missed wearing it on her if I hadn't decided to go through some of the clothes in the bags in the basement! This one was from Crystal and Brian and family.

This is Jeremy's friend Mason, took us two weeks but we finally talked him into holding Brooke.

This was taken at The Forks in Winnipeg, They had a bunch of things on display and I took a picture of Jer and Brooke.I think she's actually holding the wheel. lol

Me and Jer at Grandpas house.

Jer was completely discussed with Tuckers tongue! lol It was so hot at Grandpas and Tucker was just trying to cool down...but he was resting his tongue on Jer's shirt! LOL

This is Mason and Chris. They aren't that unhappy looking most of the time. I don't think Jer told them he was taking a picture!

Tucker and Brooke....Back at home!

Jer being silly!

I've been telling people about Brooke's big pout, but haven't been able to catch it. Well I kinda caught it. This isn't as deep a pout as she normally gets but you kinda get the picture. Isn't it cute???

Grand Beach

Tucker first time swimming! He normally doesn't go over his head so that he actually has to swim! lol

Getting all sandy! lol

Me and Tucker on the beach!

Jeremy at the Beach

Little Brooke at the Beach...in her little swim suit! haha! We didn't put her in the water, altho I'm sure she would have loved it. The water was all full of Algae, so we decided to keep her out of the water. I'm not sure how much sand she ate, but I'm sure she consumed some! lol

We didn't make it to the "beautiful people" part of the beach as Tucker was not allowed, so we stuck with where Tucker was allowed.

Nonsuch at the Museum

We went to the museum in Winnipeg and they had a boat there called the nonsuch. And we got a tour of the boat and took a few pictures. The museum was pretty good, a lot to see and I got tired after 3 hrs so much to read and learn..my head hurt! lol

Monk Monestary

We went to an old Monk Monestary. They used to be very self sufficient. They made cheese, had a farm, and lots of other things, but the building burned down and they are currently in the process of fixing it up to be a historical site. The monks moved out when the city started to grow so big that it was getting close to the monestary.

Assiniboine Park

This park is huge and used by a lot of people for every reason imaginable. People were playing Cricket one day, soccer the next and lots of people sun bathing!

We took advantage of checking out some of the gardens they have.

Jer loves the big red leafy plant in the background here.

Cactus Garden in the English Gardens.

This is a little house that is in the English Gardens.

Do you see the bunny???

I liked this tree!

Another picture of some flowers in the English Garden.

This is the Formal Gardens. Everything was exactly the same on either side and you could walk down the middle.

This is taken from a bridge. You walk over the bridge to the other side and go to a ice cream shop, get some ice cream, make a mess because the ice cream melts faster then you can eat it, then you walk back across the bridge! lol Or at least that is what we did! haha!

Winnipeg Zoo

This is a picture of the white buffalo in the Winnipeg Zoo, it's very rare. I think his name is Blizzard.

What's a zoo with out a Tiger?? Not a Zoo....lol
Jeremy actually chased this little raccoon around to get a good picture of it. LOL Poor guy was probably scared to pieces!

Another Zoo must have....a Monkey!

Peacocks were running wild around the Zoo, you never knew what cage you would see them in!

Camels...I'd never seen on in person only on TV.

Brooke helping us find our way by reading the map.....ok so she did more eating of the map then directing us, but she thought she was helping! lol

I dunno what kinda bird this is...but it's one of those from the Hawk/Eagle family.

Margo and Brooke

Brooke got to meet Grandma! Here are a few pictures. I've included Grandpa here too that would be Brooke's Great Grandpa.

I Made It!!!

16 hours from the time we left our house in Alberta, we arrived in Winnipeg, greeted by rain! lol
For about 5 hrs on the way through Sask, Jer and I watched this beautiful lightening storm. It was amazing seeing it wayy off in the distance....then....we got there! lol 5 hrs later! is that crazy or what?!?!? Anyways, the damage was done in Portage La Prairie, there were trees down, the wind was crazy strong. They had gotten quite a bad storm I should have taken pictures of the trees down, but was scared to get out of the van for fear I might blow away! lol Yes the wind was really that strong!

There will be more of an update later to describe what I have done in the last week (almost). I don't get much PC time here, Jer has me on the go quite a bit....Today, I think we are going to a beach...one that I can get in the water at and apparantly is counted as one of North America's most Sexy Beaches....Don't worry gals...I'll be checkin out the guys to see if it's worth the travel out here to go guy watching! haha!

Margo (Jer's mom) agrees that there are some hot bodies to be seen...so we are going to check it out! lol

Jolly Jumper = Best 40 dollars ever spent!

Jeremy and I agree that the Jolly Jumper is the best 40 dollars we have ever spent on Brooke! She loves that thing! Bouncing away....and it plays her out so we get good sleeps too! haha! It's an all around winner in my books!

Here is a video of her in it today! She's even chattering away in it!

4 Months

Can you believe my baby girl is 4 months old today?! I sure can't! She sure is alert these days. We were to home depot tonight and she wanted to touch everything! lol I had to rescue a few plants....it might not have been such a good idea to stand so close! LOL They are only missing a few leaves now! haha!

Tucker and Brooke cooperated pretty good today for their picture, still no smile from Brooke and Jeremy was talking so Tucker is looking away in one picture.

I've also started feeding her cereal on a regular basis! Boy does that get messy! But she's starting to get used to the idea of a spoon and what to do with it, and that food follows! lol

Our Newest Family Picture

Here is a picture Jer and I got done on Dad's Birthday. We went to the West Edmonton Mall and there was a cartoonist there. This is what he came up with, Jer is quite proud of it!

Brooke's first Boo Boo

It looks a lot worse then it is now! lol We were playing outdoors, when Tucker started batting at a fly that was bugging him, his paw landed on her face/eye. It was a complete accident, I don't even think Tucker was aware of what he had done. He's normally pretty good with her, always gentle, but this fly was really bothering him and he didn't even think before he started swatting at it. Brooke was better way before I was! lol I was still crying when she was laughing. She's not scared of him now either, she still smiles at him and reaches for him when he walks past her. It was bound to happen sometime right?! She wasn't going to NEVER get a boo boo in her life! lol
