This is the cute little face that Brielle makes when she hears a train go by...

whether she is inside...

or outside...


or on a camping trip...

When she hears the engine blow its whistle, she makes this face and looks around and waits for everyone else to make the same face back at her. This is a little game that she and Grandma Carol started:).

a couple weeks ago...

Brielle's 4th of July outfit (from Grandma Carol).

We had so much fun with Jenny & Alexia when they were here for a week over the 4th of July.

Camping Trip 2008

Here are Grandma & Grandpa B with their 15 grandkids on our 2008 camping trip. We had a great time! The fish were biting, the pool was warm, our cabins were nice, and the weather was perfect!

Here's John hanging out by the pool.

Brielle got her first official haircut (a few inches!) from her aunt Stacy while we were there. Brielle put these sunglasses on herself... when I have them on, she points at them on my head and says "hat" :)

One month

wow, John is one month old already!

This is a photo of John at 3 weeks old.

Fincel's corn

Her first taste of Fincel's sweet corn! As you can see, she figured out how to eat it off the cob... and she enjoyed it:)

summer pool fun

You can tell by the look on her face how much fun Brielle is having:)

Then she'd sit at the side and ask her dad for some more...

and up she goes again.

Here she is with her cousin Emma, getting soaked in the kids' area.

mmmmmm....

BEFORE: Here's our "clean" Brielle on her way to the ice cream shop.

DURING: See how focused she looks:)

AFTER:

a smile from johnny :)

[I think] seeing a baby smile in his sleep is one of the most wonderful things in life...

Will someone please peel this orange for me?

Tim & his kids
