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!
