Happy 3 Months Brooklyn!

I don't know where the time has gone but Brooklyn is now 3 months old (actually a little older but I forgot to take pictures)!  She is such a happy, easy and good baby who is loved very much by all of us.  She loves to smile, try and talk, and she is starting to figure out that she has hands and that she can grab things.  Jace and Bailey can't get enough of her, and neither can we.  Enjoy!

                                               

                                           Bailey was really excited about their matching outfits

                                           Here is a little flashback to when she was 2 months

Coast Ranch and Fair in Paso Robles

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to the coast ranch in Cambria and also to the Paso Robles Fair and Rodeo.  It was a welcomed surprise because it has been super busy on the farm lately  We were excited to get away for three days. Jace caught a huge bass out of the pond and it was so much fun to watch him try and reel it in.  We didn't have a scale but we are guessing it weighed around 5 pounds.  We also took the kids to a place we call Indian Springs.  They had fun pretending they were Indians and tried to make "Indian food" by crushing acorns and leaves on the rocks.  They also liked collecting feathers and putting them in their hats. Some of Brody's family was able to come with us as well and we had a lot of fun relaxing, fishing, catching ladybugs, going on quad rides,playing horse shoes and spending time together at the fair. 

              Jace found the "jackpot" of ladybugs

Me and my crew.  This is how Brooklyn looked 

most of the time we were gone.

                           Say cheese! 

 It wouldn't be the coast without Hagen Daz coffee ice cream!

                          The prized fish

              Yep, his had fit inside the fishes mouth!

                 Bailey and the feather she found.
                 Jace put his feather like this so
                 she thought she should too.

                         Fun at the fair

               This is as close as we got to having a
               group picture.  Notice Brody and the kids
               in the background :)

              This is the one ride I really wanted
              to go on.  And yes, Bailey had to pick
              the pink one.

                They were out within minutes of
                leaving the fair.  

               Jace fell asleep with his whale prize 
               that Grandma Tanis won for him. 

Painting Lessons

The other day as we were eating dinner Jace started asking about how God made all the different colors.  Brody was trying to explain it to him and then he decided it would be easier to just show him.  We got our paint set out and the kids were so excited to start painting.  Here are some of the pictures from that we took.  Painting is now one of the weekly requests around our house :)  Enjoy!
