Sliding Down!

I really love my Bubbie!

Brooklynn went to Lilli's Birthday Party at Off the Walls. All the kids had a great time running around. It was good to see everybody there. Brooklynn really liked the slide and thanks to Bubbie (Davis) helping her up and the down the first time she caught on real quick. Davis managed to sprain his foot (imagine that), but other than that he was injury free. Braxton decided to stay at home, because it was just not cool to go to 3 year old birthday party. The life of a teenager! Brooklynn loved playing with her friends, but most of all she liked eating the cake.

On Saturday July 12th we celebrated all the new citizens that came home to there forever family. It was great time of fun and it is always great to see all of our friends. Brooklynn was honored with a certificate and a cute bear. She has carried that thing around with her alot. It was very hot that day, so they had a little pool and slip and slide to stay cool. We also had a big girl shower for The Gray's who are in China right now getting their new daughter Anna Li. We love our ALFCC (Athens Limestone Families with Children from China), and we think of all of them as our family.

This summer we have spent alot of time at the pool and also the doctor's office. I hope we remain injury free for the rest of the summer and for that matter rest of the year. Boys are great and it seems like there is always something new they try. Like climbing the wooden fence outside, with a broken arm, and deciding to jump off of it. What are they thinking. Brooklynn just looks at them like they are crazy. Brooklynn can play rough to and we have had many shares of skining our knees this summer. She makes sure she shows everybody her boo boo. You can't help but squeeze her. She is just so darn cute.
