Hook 'Em Horns!

Brooks took Momma and Pop to the Longhorns game in Austin, while Finn stayed home and played with Grandad and 2Mama. Brooks had a great time: he stayed up way past his bedtime, wore a burnt orange cheesehead, practiced his Hook 'Em Horns hands and shouted "Texas Fight!" all night long.

Finn at the Museum

We made it back to the Children's Museum on Labor Day and had a blast. This time, Momma took the camera and followed Finn. We got lots of good pictures of Mr. Fun (I mean, Finn) and all his smiles.

First Trip to the Dentist

Last month, Brooks made his first trip to the dentist. He got to watch TV, wear cool shades and pick out chocolate-flavored toothpaste. He did a really great job and let them clean and floss all his teeth. He also made sure to tell the dentist how much he likes to drink milk (since that's what makes our teeth strong).

Smile, Please

This is what I get when I ask Brooks to smile for a picture.





And this is what I get when he stands there watching a train go by.

Birthday Boys

Brooks got to go to a lot of birthday parties this summer: Christian's "jump" party with a cool slide (Finn got to go, too); Gwen's pottery painting party with a face painter (see SpiderMan below); and Avery's pool party with an ice cream truck. They were all REALLY fun. Someone is looking forward to his party coming up soon.

At Grandma Jo's

Sadly, Momma managed to get NO pictures of Grandma Jo when we went to Conroe for her birthday... but here are a few of the boys. They had such a special time at Grandma Jo's. Brooks got to ride his new bike, and we all went for a ride in the golf cart. Kind of scary that Momma can remember riding in Grandma Jo's golf cart when she wasn't all that much older than Brooks is now.

Friends at the Children's Museum

We spent a hot, summer-in-Houston afternoon at the Children's Museum, where it was nice and cool. We met up with some of our school friends, and everyone had a great time.

Sweet Little Finn

This kid is out to have a good time, all the time.

First Bath Together

Brooks decided he wanted to take a bath with Finn. They splashed and laughed the whole time.
