October

I love it when Payton reads books to his siblings :)

We had fun heart-attacking a friend's door who is struggling with cancer.

Where'd Brooklyn go???

Yep, that's right. Swimming in October. Well, not for me, but the crazy kids did!

CJ often gives our pets a little too much love. Multiple times a day he'd drag a stool over so he could look at/bug the guinea pig. One day I heard a big crash and found the stool knocked over, the guinea pig's house on the ground (which made a HUGE mess), a scared guinea pig, and a crying CJ.

2 new puppies we got, ha ha

I had to document my poor toe. I dropped an empty trash can on it, which shouldn't have hurt at all, but it must've hit in exactly the wrong place because it felt broken. It was so painful for weeks, and is still a nasty black, on almost the whole thing. I'm just waiting for it to fall off...

I love it when my dad shows up with a buddy in a tractor to work on my house :)

Brooklyn used to stick out her pouty lip anytime you told her not to do something. She stood in this particular pouty position for several minutes while all the kids were bustling around her playing. Sillly girl.

I love this smiley picture that Brooklyn accidentally took all by herself when she was playing with Casey's phone. You can barely see her fangs coming in. Her first teeth.

Here's the guinea pig that CJ knocked over in that above picture. He died a few weeks later.

Brooklyn's definitely chatty. She talks all the time. And not just sentences, full on paragraphs.

I was reading her a book, and she just kept talking. It was so cute. Plus, I love her quiet lion growl at the end. Not too loud Brooklyn or you'll scare yourself ;)

So you're not supposed to really watch this video, but more listen to it. She was cracking up that the vacuum scares Penny, ha ha.
