Our Chula Vista Weekend

We went to the Chula Vista Water park in the dells last weekend. It was great to have a little get away to help the cabin fever! We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo, with my parents and brother, that was bigger than our house! It was great because we could all hang out after Brooklynn went down for bed or her nap.

We had a lot of fun. The resort was booked to capacity - no open rooms. It was PACKED to say the least. Brooklynn loved going down the slides in the kiddy area. She also loved playing with the geysers of water. It was a little chilly once you got wet, so we didn't spend all our time in the water. My Grandparents came up to spend time with us and we were able to go out to dinner with them to celebrate my Grandma's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Grandma!
Brooklynn was very talkative at dinner and would talk nonstop to the waiter anytime he came to our table. I wish I had my video camera! Needless to say she was our free entertainment at dinner. I uploaded pictures from our weekend to Flickr.

Today was so nice out!!! It got me in spring cleaning mode! I cleaned our bathroom, vacuumed, washed floors, dusted, cleaned windows, cleaned the kitchen and organized our "junk drawers". Next project is cleaning the rest of the windows in the bedrooms and cleaning the blinds! Fun Fun!

Well I am going to attempt to go to church tomorrow and put Brooklynn in the children’s room for the hour I am in church. We will see how this goes... The last time I tried leaving her in there it didn’t go very well! I think it would be good for her to play with other kids and have some time with out me. If she doesn't like it I guess she can sit in church with me :-) Spring is on it’s way!!

Home Sweet Home

We came home Friday, can you believe we drove the 5 hours straight through with out stopping, and Brooklynn only slept for 40 minutes the entire time? How we did that I do not know, I was doing my best to keep her entertained, and it worked! We had a wonderful vacation filled with relaxation, jet skiing, water skiing, volleyball, tubing and a lot of smores by the campfire. Brooklynn loved the lake and playing in the sand. She also loved the boat rides and jet ski rides, especially if we were going fast. (She is my daughter!) She started cutting 3 teeth while on vacation, she is getting her 2 front teeth plus the on next to the front tooth. Which means the last 3 nights we were there she didn’t sleep well. I will upload some pictures to Flickr later. Just wanted to let everyone know we are home and getting back in the swing of things!

We are Outta Here

We are on vacation! We leave tomorrow (Sunday) for Rhinelander and return Friday. So no more posts until I come back. So I leave you with a video of Brooklynn saying her new word "cheese" which sounds like sheesh. She now says on, all done, mama, mom, dada, dat (that), hi, and I swear she said shoe this morning. She also is starting to babble in sentences. Enjoy her eating her "sheesh".



Brooklynn is a walking machine! She can now stand up from sitting all by herself with out pulling herself up on anything and walk where ever she wants. She still walks with her arms straight up in the air though. Now I really can't take my eye off of her! By the time we get back from Rhinelander she will probably have walking pretty well mastered.
And here is a picture I was able to quick snap when I put pig tails in her hair. They lasted a whole 3 seconds! She looks just thrilled, doesn't she? LOL
