Saturday, we took Brinley to the zoo. When we asked her if she wanted to go see elephants and lions and monkeys she just shook her head and said "no". I then asked if she wanted to go see some bears thinking I would get a different response because most of her favorite books are about bears. I was wrong. Finally, after asking her if she wanted to go see snakes she yells "yeah!"

Brinley's New Potty!
We went to the store to buy Brinley a new potty today. She was so excited about it she wanted to put it together as soon as we got home.
Hopefully she will never try to use this as a hat again.
She carried it to the bathroom and I asked her if she wanted to go potty. She answered yes.
And much to my surprise, after she sat down I heard a tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.
YEAH BRINLEY!!!!!!!!!!!We'll see how things go from here.

Dinner Time!
It's so nice to have a child who likes to use table manners.
Unfortunately it doesn't happen very often.

November Pics
Oklahoma City Thunder Game
We went to Nebraska for Thanksgiving and had a great time. My oldest sister from Colorado surprised us by coming for Thanksgiving. It was the first time all the cousins had been together at one time.
The 4 babies 9 months apart. This was the best picture we could get.
Camdyn passing out puffs.
Playing outside.
Alex, Chase and Brinley
Brinley using the walker as a jungle gym.
We had a birthday party for Briley 2 weeks early since we were all together.
My parents have train tracks right behind their backyard. Everytime the kids heard the whistle blow, they had to run, jump on the couch and watch the train go by. It didn't matter what they were doing.
Carter jumping off the stairs (almost all the way up).
Walmart was having free photos with Santa Claus while we were there. It was a good thing they were free.
