My Little Sweetheart...

After a few moments of suspicious quiet I went to check on Brooklyn. She, of course, was into something she shouldn't be. Luckily I caught her in time and she only applied my lip gloss to a couple areas of her face.

The irritation that she exhibited was camera/video worthy. Such a sweet little girl;)

Sandbox

After telling Curt that Brooklyn spent about 30 or so minutes in a sandbox at Marikka's house he finally got around to filling hers. She loves it but feels a little trapped when she's ready to get out. It's a little high off the ground for her, a whole 6 inches;)

Cold Season

Here at the Vander Molen's we've officially kicked off the cold season. Brooklyn has been watching us closely and practicing for the inevitable future colds.

Pumpkin Patch

Last night we had our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch with the Jacobs and the Ostermanns. We had a great time and the kiddos looked adorable:)

Someone's Pregnant!!!!

At our MOM's group we recently had a nutritionist speak that told us that toddlers generally don't over feed themselves. With Brooklyn that theory is usually true. However, tonight she decided she REALLY liked her yogurt and ate almost the whole 6 oz (that's a lot for her) and then drank a 6 oz bottle. She walked over to me while I was at the computer and I looked down to see a "pregnant 1 year old". Pretty hilarious if you ask me!!

Funny Drama

I'm not really sure why, but I found this moment kinda funny and thought I'd get it on video. I can't really put my finger on why it makes me laugh so I thought I'd share it and see if it makes you laugh too.

New Hangout

Brooklyn has a new favorite place to hang out and watch T.V. If she angles it just right she can see between the chair and the table:)

Yogurt Facial

Brooklyn found good use of her left over yogurt. She decided to give herself a facial:)

Someday

Wishful thinking....

What's so funny?

She's the funniest person she knows:)

San Clemente 2008

Last weekend we spent a few days "camping" in San Clemente with the Van Duyn's. We had so much fun that we're gonna try to do it for a week next summer.

Brook and Wyatt had fun just hanging around the camp site. When they got out of hand we caged them up!

Saturday we went off on our own and spent a couple hours at the tide pools in Dana Point. Brooklyn loved collecting rocks and having daddy chase her into the water.



This was the first time Brooklyn and Wyatt had been to the beach. They both LOVED it! They had no fear of the water what so ever. And they loved it when the water would knock them over. When we had enough water time they both played nicely in the sand.

**Pay no attention to the back round commentary**

Visit from Luke

Monday night Luke came over all by himself for some play time with Brooklyn. We rode our bikes to the park and then cleaned up for bed. We only had him for a couple of hours but I got some cute blog worthy pictures.

"Monkey see, Monkey do"

Looks like Brooklyn's been learnin' a few things from Maddie:) I can't think of any other good reason why she would do this EVERY time I open the fridge. Any suggestions??
