Finally had a party for Brylie's Birthday!

We finally had a Party for Brylie's birthday a few weekends ago. Here are a few pics

Brylie and her princess cake! We had to go look at this cake display at HEB every time we went for the past few months. Thanks goodness she finally got her cake!

Get a little help from August and Daddy!

She looked a little rough by the end of her party!

Brylie's Birthday/ Fair weekend!

Fair weekend was a little crazy this year, with a 1 week old and Brylie's birthday on that Friday!

Brad and I took Brylie to ride rides on Thursday night, and my mom took Brodie home with her. We didn't have to wait in many lines and she could ride all she wanted and she did. After she rode every ride she could, some how we managed to walk through the game area, Brad won Brylie a monkey and we walked right out of the ride area, and she never said a word. We eat a corn dog and we were headed home, rather early!
Friday was Brylie's 3rd and my 30th Birthdays! We headed to town for the parade! And then we went out to Aunt ashley's to have a mini Birthday party!

Cupcakes,

A bubble bath,

and a quick nap!

Then we headed to the fair to show Cinderella & Prince at the Dorper show!

Showing Prince!

Very proud of her third place ribbon!

When it was time to show Cinderella, Brylie had found a friend with toys and could careless about showing. So mom got to show her!

Saturday and most of Sunday we stayed at home and rested! Brylie, Brodie and I finally went back to the fair Sunday afternoon to pick up the Watermelon and Milo Brylie had entered. She was so excited she got 2nd with both. She could not wait to eat her watermelon, she had to eat it at the races.

Brylie's first day of school!

Brylie started Pre-school the Wed after Brodie was born, Aug 19th!

Brylie is in Pre-K 3 and Avery is in Kindergarden!

I think she likes school. She gets up in the mornings and wants to go, but when you ask her about school she says, " I not talk about it."

Brylie loves her little Brother

Brodie "Buckshot" William Roeder

Brodie William Roeder was Born on Aug 14th. He weighed 7.12 lbs and was 20 inches long.

So I am a little behind on blogging!

I am a little behind on Blogging, so I am hopefully going to catch up today! Maybe!

Well, I guess he is not going to come early!

We go to the hospital tomorrow at 5 to be induced and we should have a baby sometime Friday!

I will try to post pictures sometime next week!

Baby Update!

Well I kinda thought last night, might be the night, since it was full moon, but I guess not.

The Doctor got us all excited two Thursdays ago, when she said, she didn't think I would make to the 14th. Then last Thur., with no progress, she went ahead and scheduled me to be induced on our due date, the 14th. So it looks like this stubborn little guy is going to wait until we make him come out. We go back to the doctor tomorrow, so we shall see.

I still have my fingers crosses he will be early!

Waiting on the Rain

The Rain looked so promising last night. Even Brylie thought so! She played outside, dressed like this, most of the evening.

Frog the Turtle!

Last September, while playing in the creek, Brad and Brylie caught a little soft shell turtle, about the size of a silver dollar. Since Brylie had just gotten a fish aquarium for her Birthday, Brad thought is would be cool to keep the turtle. I was against it, but Brylie was so excited. So we took him home and put him in with the fish. Brylie would sit on the couch and watch him swim around all the time. And she always called him Frog, she would tell you he was a turtle, but still called him Frog. So his name became Frog. All was good for a couple of weeks or so. Then the fish slowly started disappearing, one at a time. So, Frog got his own 10 Gallon aquarium, and we had to buy new fish! We built him a little cave with rocks and a little perch to get up out of the water. He was fun to watch! But he continued to grow and grow and grow. He could no longer sit on his perch and he pushed the rocks from his cave around. SO we tried to convince Brylie is was time to put Frog back in the creek. We caught minnows for him to make sure he could survive without us feeding him. The minnows scared him, I think, he hide under the rocks for two days, but then he did eat the minnows finally. But then Brylie decided she didn't want to let Frog go "just yet"! Opa and Oma told Brylie they saw Frog's mommy at the creek, and she was looking for him. Just like Nemo's daddy was looking for him. And Opa started throwing a little corn in the creek right at the crossing every night, so we would see Frog's mommy when we drove by. Well last Thur. night we were at Opa and Oma's, and somehow Brylie got it in her head that it was Frog's Birthday, and his mommy wanted to give him a party. Not sure if Opa and Oma told her that or what, but it worked. First thing Friday morning, we sang Happy Birthday to Frog and released him back into the creek.

Brylie did so good! We now have to check on Frog every time we go to Opa's house. And lucky for us, every time we have gone to the creek, Brylie has seen some turtles. Not sure its really Frog, but Brylie is content seeing any turtle.

Running through the sprinkler!

If a spinkler is on Brylie is going to run through it with or without her swim suit.

Last week we eat supper at my granfathers, and mom decided to try to water a little. Brylie striped down to her panties and had a blast in the water! Mom never actually got the sprinkler on, just ended up spraying Brylie with the hose!

Then she decided it was time for Gigi and Aunt Ashley to get wet too!

Misty sent me these pictures from the lake, so I thought I would post them!

Brylie and Pop Pop getting off the boat

Mimi, Pappy Darrell, Brylie and Dustin floating.

We just go out in the middle of the lake, jump in and float! Brylie loved it, and had no fear at all. She just floated and kicked her little legs. And didn't want anyone holding her.

Aunt Desi trying to teach Brylie to cast!

Brylie still trying! She loves her Barbie fishing Rod!

The Lake!

We made our annual trip to the lake this past weekend! My family, my aunt's kids, their kids, and a couple of in-laws. 6 Cabins and we always fill all of them. But this year our water front cabins were not so water front, because the lake is so low. Normally the water comes up close to 6 or 7 feet on a wall below the cabins, then year we drove down the boat ramp with the truck and drove to the water!

View from the cabin.

Mom, Desi, Brylie and Case walking the dogs.

Normally they would be completely underwater, if they were standing here!

The water level or the broken boats, didn't keep us from having a great time. We just drove our cars to the little "island " we normally park the boat on and played! It was great, the kids had a blast! Brylie is such a water baby. She has no fear, as long as she has her life jacket on. She could careless if she could touch the ground or not. The kids also loved picking up shells!

Brylie and Hagen washing there shells!

Still washing! Think they would have had enough water being in the lake all day!

I never did get a picture of the kids playing in the water or on the boat. I kept forgetting my camera, oh well!

As we were packing up yesterday, Brylie cried, she didn't want to go home. So I think that is a good sign that she had a wonderful time!

Our First Squash!

Brylie loves picking the garden! But this year the only thing she has picked is the green cherry tomatoes, when Mommy & Daddy aren't looking (and she eats them, Yuck!). Until now, she finally got to pick a squash! And she insisted we eat it for Supper!

Look how proud she is!

Sea World

My whole family took Brylie to sea World on Saturday. Mom and Dad, Desi and Cole, Ashley, Brad, Me and Brylie. I think Brylie was more excited to hang out with Desi and Ashley than, the whole Sea World part. We planned to leave around 9, so we would get there shortly after they opened. But by the time Brad dropped off some sheep he sold to a man in Sisterdale and my dad had a flat on his trailer full of lambs he was dropping off in Comfort, we didn't leave Comfort until like 10:30! So after grabbing a bite to eat, we finally made it to Sea world around 1.

Our first stop was the Dolphin petting tanks

Then it was almost time for the Shamu show so we headed that way!

On the Way we got distracted by a tortise eating some lettuce.

It was a long walk to the Shamu show, and we were hot and sweaty by the time we got there. But Brylie was still all smiles!

Brylie had the strangest face during the whole show! She had no facial expression at all. She just sat and watched very contently. Not sure she got anything out of it or not. Although we did sit in the very top of the splash zone so she got a little wet and she was excited about that.

Next we headed to the water ski show, Cool Vibrations. Brylie had no interest in the people skiing on the water she just watched the singer. dancers on the shore. And then she wanted to dane. Thank goodness, we had sat on the very top row, so she could stand on her seat and dance. And that is what she did during the whole show.

We walked around a while and saw a couple of other shows. And then we came to the water park and Brylie was in haven.

She loved the wave pool. As hot as it was it felt great in the water. We played in the water for a couple of hours.

On the way our of the park, waiting for the preggo lady to go potty one last time! Everyone was completely worn out! We didn't even make it out of the parking lot before Brylie was sleeping.

I really wasn't sure Brylie enjoyed Sea World all that much until Sunday morning, when she got up she asked if we could back to that place.

Life has finally slowed down a bit!

Life has finally slowed down a bit! We have not been doing much. Staying at home and enjoying the warm (almost Hot) weather. Brylie lives outside! She has discovered she can finally ride that big girl bike she got last year for her Birthday. She could ride it before, her legs were just a little too short and she would give up! But not anymore, she thinks we have to go bike riding every night now. And she has figured out how to turn, that was a big deal. Before she would stop pedaling while turning and then not be able to start again so we would have to give her a little push.

Look at that smile!

She also got new swimming pool with a slide! She thought that was pretty neat. Most afternoons she plays in her pool while I water my flowers or mess in the yard.

Brad finally got the garden planted. We doubled its size this year. Brylie insisted on planting a watermelon, when I was buy the plants. I think she picked out the smallest one she could find. Brad didn't want to plant it in the garden, but said we would put it in a large barrel. so I repotted it in a flower pot for now, but got side tracked and didn't water that night. The next day it was dead from sitting in the sun all day. Brylie was really upset, and told everyone that mommy killed her watermelon. SO I bought her another one, and a larger one this time. I am just hopeing we can grow one Watermelon, and she will be happy.
