Look who has glasses!

My little Brooklyn is now sporting some pretty cute glasses. I know I am biased but I think she looks darn cute, just too old! I noticed her right eye starting to turn in as she focused on things like cartoons or me when I was talking to her from a distance. We decided to take her to the eye doctor who confirmed my findings, since Brandon never saw her eye "wander". Now I know I am not crazy and my eyes aren't incorrect! We are trying to make it fun for her so it won't be such a struggle for her to keep them on. We'll see how it goes. Since we caught it early, we hope it will correct her eye so she won't have glasses her whole life. Any bets on how long this first pair will last!?

Mackenzie

Since Mackenzie's new bike is a "mountain" bike, Brandon decided he was going to take her on a mountain bike ride. He took her on a dirt road trail not too far from our house to give her the feel of it. She did great, especially climbing, but didn't enjoy the downhill much. Hmm....reminds me of someone, me maybe! She really had a fun time.


This is what Brooklyn does at Mackenzie's games when she isn't cheering "go Mackenzie go" while Mackenzie is at bat. She is a little monkey!
Nice shot of dad and daughter

One of Mackenzie's at bats. She went through a short period where she couldn't hit a single pitch and had to hit off the tee again. It didn't seem to bother her and now she is back to hitting well. In safety ball the last batter hits everyone in and this time she is the last batter.

Bike for shelter

Last year we rode in this and the girls had a great time. It is a ride for a local children's shelter. This year I wasn't pregnant and Brooklyn was ready to ride on her own. My what a year can do! It is a 2-mile fun ride and Brooklyn rode the whole thing. Slow and steady with several stops but she did great. We were so proud of her. Mackenzie and I rode about 6 miles. She got a new bike for her birthday and was breaking it in. Marin fell asleep in her carseat we strapped in to the bike trailer. It was a little chilly but it was a fun activity for the family.




Afterwards there were activities for the kids like bounce houses, face painting, etc. and this miniature pony rides. Brooklyn decided she didn't want to ride.

What can I say...

Does this not just make you want to eat her up! I love when kids start to interact more and especially smile. Now if I could only get her to smile at the camera instead of pull a blank face. She is so fun!
