Brooks and his bike

Brooks is getting really good at riding his bike. He can ride it all by himself except on a steep uphill. It seems like every day his legs are getting stronger, and he is able to ride longer and more uphill. Here is a video of him on his bike on the way to the playground in our neighborhood.

Super fun Saturday!

We had a beautiful and extremely fun Saturday. We started off the morning with pancakes as usual, and then headed to Home Depot to get some stuff to work in the yard. We were so excited when we got there to find that on the first Saturday of every month they do kid projects. Today, was building at butterfly house. Of course we didn't have our camera with us at Home Depot, so here are some pictures of Brooks with his butterfly house in his Home Depot project apron taken when we got home.

so proud
Finished product

As we were working out in yard today we realized that Brooks is already starting to sweat profusely from his thick hair in the heat, so... we decided it was time to go ahead and give him his summer buzz cut. After much convincing and the promise of multiple "special treats" this is the finished product. My sweet little angel with his "halo"

Last night we went to the Sequoyah HS baseball game. Daddy saved a lady and her daughter from being hit by a foul ball, so the coach gave him the game ball to give to Brooks. Brooks was so excited! He insisted that it sit by his bed last night while he slept, and it was the first thing he talked about when he got up this morning. Come nap time today he was begging to get to sleep with it, so here he is all tucked in with his Monkey, Zebra, and baseball.

Easter Egg Hunt

We had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt last Saturday. It was Brooks' first, and he loved it. Here are a few pics from the event.
Brooks ready to go.
Off he goes to gather his eggs.
He picked right up on the goal, to get the eggs.
So proud of his basket of eggs. He was super excited when he realized there were "special treats inside those eggs"
