7:00 We are up and we spend some much needed time cuddling!

8:00 Bath time, breakfast and ready for church!!

 8:30-10:30 Brooklyn has a bottle and goes down for a much needed nap before church! At 10 we leave for church!


10:30-12:00 Time to worship and grow in our faith!  Lesson for the day.... how to be a disciple of Jesus!  One thing that really stuck out to me was.... The only power Satan has, is the power you give him.  Don't let him rob you of the destiny God has for you!

12:30-2:00 We get home, Goober makes some chili for lunch, while I made macaroni salad for a BBQ later!  We eat and them play with Brooklyn!

2:00-5:00 Brooklyn goes down for a nap and Goober and I decide to nap for a bit too!

Yummy!  Pineapple and green onion brats from Hyvee!

Love my Grant man!

Tawnda making silly faces at Malachi!

We took: a family picture to send to church for Brooklyn's dedication ceremony!

Beautiful Ella!

7:30-10:00  We go home do our nightly book, cereal, jammies, bottle, and bed! Then Goober heads back to town to paint the new walls at his store, and I watch s little TV before heading to bed!

 My yummy breakfast!

7:00 Tawnda and Shawn pick me up to go to an Integrity Seminar for work.

8:15  Brooklyn wakes up and eats breaskfast. (Funny how she sleeps in for daddy!)

9:00  We arrive at Mystic Lake Casino for the Seminar and spend time listening to Keith talk about having a five year plan, and having financial success.  Very interesting and inspiring.
 

12:00 We break for lunch and head down to the buffet.  The food was delicious and of course I had to have some ice cream!

1:00-6:00  We go back to the conference for CA training and at 4:30 we head home! While I was at the seminar, Goober had to go work with police department, so Kayla (our new babysitter!) came to watch Brooklyn for a few hours!


6:00  When I got home Brooklyn smiled so big at me and made my day! I changed into my jammies, ate some ramen noodles, fed Brooklyn, and found out that Brooklyn will cry when you say WOO HOO!  It was super cute!  Brooklyn has the cutest sad face ever!

 My froggy jammies!

7:00 We play peek-a-boo.  Another of Brooklyn's favorite games!  She laughs so hard when you cover her head and say "Where's Brooklyn?"  Then I tickled her cute little feet!

 

7:45  We head to Tawnda's house to Skype with Keesha, Chris, Xander. and Molly!  I loved being able to see Molly for the first time not in pictures!  I can't wait until July when they come to visit!  It was also Keesha's first time seeing Brooklyn!

8:30-10:00  We are back home and we put Brooklyn to bed!  Then I update my blog and head to bed because I am exhausted!

7:00 Brooklyn up for the day!  We eat breakfast , get dressed,  and leave for town!

 

8:00  Brooklyn has her 6 month check up.... Which means 3 shots in the legs, and 1 in the mouth.  I then spend the next 5 minutes comforting her after she cries!  We both dislike her having to get shots!

9:00  We head to Tawnda's house to watch the triplets while she runs to town to do some errands and pick up Evie from preschool.
