Busy weekend!

This weekend we packed our Saturday full of fun things to do! It turned out to be a beautiful day, so we were able to do all of our outdoor activities. We started the day bright and early by walking a 5K at the Race for the Cure. Before the race started we took a picture of her in the pumpkins at North Park mall.

Decked out head-to-toe in pink

Brooklyn was the hit of the entire event! She had cheerleaders screaming for her, other participants cooing over her and a random man take her picture! Greg carried her in the Baby Bjorn and she loved it!

She fell asleep for a little while and then was able to wake up in time to dive head first into the finish line! Look at that determination!


She was getting ready for the Longhorn game before the race.

We came home and she changed into her Texas outfit to cheer on the Longhorns against OU in the Red River Rivalry. We both took a nap during part of that game. But in our defense, we were up earlier than usual that morning and we knew Texas would pull it off anyway! After the game we went to Mass and then headed up to the FC Dallas game. It was Brooklyn's first game and first time eating at Rudy's! It was a little cold, but she was bundled up and had a good time watching FC Dallas beat the Colorado Rapids.

She's too busy watching the game to look at the camera.

She even got her picture taken with the FC Dallas dance team after the game!


We also tried out the Bumbo with Brooklyn and she's loving it! She holds her head up very well! Soon she'll be walking and hopefully helping me with the cleaning around the house. OK, maybe not!

Today Greg joined us for lunch so we could go back to North Park to take more pictures among the pumpkins. They have the craziest looking pumpkins there!

She's able to stand and support her weight. She just needs a little help with the whole balance thing!




This is my favorite picture of the afternoon. What is she doing with her mouth?

This is Greg's. She's getting ready to water the pumpkins.

Love it! I love her little skippy hat at the football game! And might I add that is a fantastic green polka dot shirt she is sporting! I love bumbo chairs, they look so grown up in them :) Can;t wait to come and visit!

First time I've checked the blog in a couple of weeks--each picture is cuter than the one before. I love the one where she's standing up. The way she is looking it's as if she's saying, "You know I'm not supposed to be doing this, right?" And the one right after that is priceless--I want copies of every one!
