First Trip To The Library





Today, we took B and B to the library for the first time. It was no surpise that Brynn loved the library! She kept taking books off the shelves over to the table and "reading" them. Brody loved running around the library and playing with the toys. No surprise there either! However, he is getting a lot better sitting and reading books.

My Birthday Weekend









On Friday, I turned the big 3-2. I had a fantastic birthday! I was awakened to breakfast in bed and a dozen roses/flowers. Bryan also got me a really cool charm necklace that has B and B's names on it and a digital camera. That morning, Grandma Farnan and I took B and B to the marina at Longview Lake to feed the carp and ducks. Then we went to Old Missouri Town to feed the elk. On Friday night, Bryan and I met some of my our friends on the Plaza for dinner. On Saturday, Bryan took me to Hermann to the wineries. I loved Hermann and thought the area was beautiful! We went to some really neat wineries and tasted some fantastic wine. I am hoping to go back again this fall for Oktoberfest. A big thank you to Grandma Farnan and Grandma Madden for watching B and B this weekend so we could get away a for a little while! B and B are doing great and growing up so fast! They are saying some of the funniest things! A big thank you to one of my co-workers, Brenda, and her Mom for the balls and lollipops they got for B and B. They love them!

New Bike Trailer


Bryan and I have been wanting to get a bike trailer for B and B for a long time. We went to Target the other day and they had them on clearance, so we finally bought one! We took B and B for a ride last night and they loved it, especially Brynn! We usually go for walks every night and this was the first time in a long time that they both behaved during the entire outing:)

Busy, Busy Toddlers

We have been staying busy trying to keep B and B entertained. They seem to get in less trouble when they stay busy:) On Friday, we went to Deanna Rose with Grandma Farnan, John, and Caden. Our nephew, Caden, came down to stay with us for a few days. B and B always enjoy seeing all the animals. This time, I let them feed the baby goats a bottle. It was really sweet watching Brynn try to kiss all the animals:) We also went back to see the elk again at Old Missouri Town, but they didn't want to come out from under the shade tree. Hopefully, we can catch them all out again soon. On a side note, Brody flushed one of his toys down the toilet in our bathroom. After having no luck trying to get the "mystery toy" out of the toilet with several different devices, we gave up and bought a new toilet. We took a hammer to the old toilet the other night and discovered that the "mystery toy" was the top to one of his wooden trains. I am really looking forward to when the bathroom, in general, becomes a less fascinating and fun place to be!
