And it looks like I am not the only one. Things come and go and I guess family blogs are one of those things. Unless you figure out how to make money doing a blog, but I don't think I have that ability.<br />
<br />
Sunday afternoons used to be my favorite time of the week. A time to relax, read, listen to music, play the piano, visit people. Lately though, I don't enjoy them. I start to feel guilty that I am not using this time to "improve myself" by reading my scriptures or making cookies for a neighbor. I am usually looking at my phone. I like the time where I don't have to do a darn thing. To zone out. Then I feel guilty that this is what I want to be doing with my time.<br />
<br />
Today, I am feeling the drain of adult life I guess. I am not complaining, just reflecting on the fact that I once had passions and time to pursue those passions. Now my family is my passion, but it can be a lot of long hours with little show of appreciation or progress in anyway. I am 6 months pregnant, which I am sure is 99% of the reason why I am feeling this way today. This is just a season of my life, but like a lot of young mothers sometimes your identity seems to get swallowed up in the creation, love, and upkeep of little people. I wouldn't trade it for a second! But there are times when I miss just being without someone needing me.Lee Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693002123629972468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156701358328462222.post-80350348623162500882017-09-24T20:58:00.003-07:002017-09-24T21:03:33.125-07:00Cole Wayne BrooksIt took me a month to write down Daisy's birth story, two months for Rocky, and now it seems that it will take three months for Cole.<br />
<br />
Cole's pregnancy was long. So long. I literally found out I was pregnant as soon as it is possible to find out you're pregnant. I had gone into the OB to see if there was anything wrong since it had been a year with no baby. They told me to track my ovulation and then come back in a month, they took my blood sample and that was that. Well soon after that visit, I checked my patient portal to view my blood work and saw that I had higher levels (of something I can't remember right now) that indicated I could be pregnant. So, I took a test and sure enough, two lines popped up on my test. It was faint, but I knew. I waited a few more days, took another test, and got two very distinct lines. After two and a half years of trying and a miscarriage, I was finally pregnant. I was so happy, but that joy wore off. I wish it didn't, but morning sickness set in and robbed me of that initial happiness. This time the sickness never really let up. I was still so thankful to be pregnant, but I swiftly remembered that I do not like to be pregnant. I do not glow, I do not think straight, I just don't like it. I do like watching my belly grow, feeling soft and strong movements, and knowing that this is what the Lord wants for me and my family. Anyway, fast forward 9 months from last October to the beginning of June and I was just done. So done. As only a pregnant woman can know. Each day passed and I didn't feel like I was going to make it to that July 1st due date. And I was right! The Friday before Cole was born, I was dilated to a 3 and my midwife told me that if I was in active labor that she would have just popped my water, it was so ready. But since I was technically only 37 weeks, she didn't. We went and saw Cars 3 and then on Saturday, I started having contractions. They would come every 10-15 min and last for 30 or so seconds, but would go away. This kept happening all day Sunday, all day Monday, all day Tuesday, and all day Wednesday. On Monday night they were so strong they woke me up, so I got up and did my dished around 4 in the morning and started walking around my house. That stopped them, so I went back to bed. Thursday morning, I woke up and texted Aaron how done I was. I felt so worn out. But I decided I was going to make the best of the day and clean my house. So I did just that. I let my kids play in the water outside while I vacuumed and mopped. I even made a freezer meal. I hadn't got dressed and was wearing my raggediest clothes. I hadn't showered because the plan was to clean, work, shower, pack my hospital bag, and then lay down. I had cleaned and made lunch for my kids, so it was time to work. But, I ended up talking to my sister Jill at my computer desk instead of working. I was telling her how done I was and how I would love to just go into labor, when I felt a pop. Like Cole had just tapped a bit, as if he heard me say I was ready. I yelled out because I knew it was my water that had just broke! Jill yelled in excitement over the phone, my kids came running, and I ran to my shower. I was slightly panicking because I have never experienced my water breaking on its own. I was also worried that meant Cole would come faster and I wouldn't make it to the hospital, plus Aaron was a solid hour away. I frantically started making calls in my shower as my water broke and my kids asking me what was wrong. I called Heidi who came over right away to take me to the hospital, I called Grandma Rena to come watch all of our kids, and I called Aaron to come. Heidi came over, and we drove to the hospital. I walked in with a towel between my legs. I looked really good too since I hadn't showered or gotten dressed. I didn't even have a bag. Luckily, my contractions hadn't really kicked in. I was registered and admitted. By then I was at a 4 and Aaron was on his way. Heidi stayed with me until Aaron got there. My contractions were starting to get stronger at this point. The nurse showed us our room and then we started to walk the halls. But my contractions hurt too much, so we went back to the room. My contractions were coming closer and were becoming rather painful. I had got to the hospital around 1:30-1:45 and by now it was around 4:00. I don't remember much of the order of events next because my contractions were really starting to take over all my senses. With my previous labors things didn't move as fast, so I wasn't thinking that things were moving as fast as they were. Eventually, we called the nurse at some point and she checked me and was surprised because I had progressed so quickly. I was already at an 8. I hadn't even got my epidural yet, so we sent for it. They came and quickly administered it, but it wasn't not kicking in. Cole was coming and I could feel it all. Which was a very new experience for me. I was in a blur of pain, I remember flicking off the wires that were monitoring me and Cole because they were in my way of bracing my self on the bed, so my nurse put it on my toe. It was now time to push but the only thing that was numb were my legs. They were like cement logs, so they upped my medicine and rolled me to my left side. I could feel the pressure of delivery, but just then my epidural started to work and it was such a relief! My wonderful midwife caught Cole in only a few pushes just in time to miss the pain of the "ring of fire." I delivered him on my side which I loved. Cole was born around 6:00 p.m. and had hair just like Daisy and Rocky. He weight 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. He came nine days early. Aaron was by my side almost the whole time. He had to step back a few times so he wouldn't pass out. But he helped hold my dead weight legs up and was there when it mattered. However by the time it was time to cut the cord, he was sitting down and away. He cut the cord with Daisy and Rocky, but this labor wasn't as smooth and if you know Aaron he gets tunnel vision pretty easily in medically intense situations. Cole came fast and I was so thankful. He got a fair amount of bruising since he popped out so fast.<br />
<br />
Now it is three months later and he is a sweet little baby boy. He fills my heart with so much joy. I am so thankful for his presence in our home. He is a our Cole Wayne.<br />

We spent the first part of this summer going to physical therapy two-three times a week for Daisy's finger. Who knew such a small finger needed so much special care. Thankfully, her finger is pretty much 99% now. Only a scar. We spent so much time stretching and massaging her finger. It was a source of a lot of grief, but I am glad it has healed. </div>

This summer has been a busy one. It has also been a very good one. We kicked off our summer by going up to the Brooks cabin on Memorial Day weekend. It was fun, and our kids loved playing with cousins. Unfortunately, Rocky brought the flu with him. For almost the whole month of April and most of May, we had a nasty stomach bug come and go. Rocky took it the hardest. He had thrown up a few days before we headed up the mountain and thought we were in the clear. But, around dinner at the cabin he started to slow down, and I saw that look in his eye. I scooped him up, but it was too late. Grandma's living room got a nice coat of Rocky throw up. He then had some yucky poo for the next few days. One incident on the deck that I will never forget involved me having to use a garbage bag to catch the unmentionable so I wouldn't drip all over the house on the way to the bath. Other than that is was a great weekend. </div>

I know I say it a lot, but I love Rockwell. He is easy-going, fun, mischievous, and a tad bit of a sensitive boy. He is growing into such a big boy. I pretend he is still my baby, but it is getting harder and harder. He is on the verge of being potty trained. He is so ready but is very frighten of the porcelain throne. </div>

Rocky got to start Sunbeams this year. It is amazing the difference between Daisy and Rocky. Daisy was so ready and potty trained. Rockwell not so much. I kind of feel like he is getting gypped a little bit on his toy time because of his late birthday. If he had been born only a few weeks later, it would have been a whole other year of nursery. Oh well! He has been going for a few weeks now, and I think he is growing into his new title of Sunbeam.</div>

Rocky is a bit mischievous. He spits a lot and asks to go into time out (he has learned that time out is the nicer of my punishments, so he has started to request it when he know he has been naughty). He likes to have fun and play. I catch him playing in my pantry all the time. For some reason the cans must seems to make good toys to him. He likes to tease Daisy and it kind of infuriates her sometimes. He sneaks in to bed with me and requests milk all day. He is a picky eater but will eat anything if tricked to. The other day he gagged down some broccoli, and I told him he could spit it out if it was going to make him puke; He refused to spit it out, swallowed and was very proud of himself. He is also talking so much! I love to hear his little mind make connections. A few weeks ago, we ordered pizza for dinner and while we were waiting he asked for cereal. I replied and said we were having "pizza, pizza" like the old little Cesar commercials, to which he replied and said, "cereal, cereal". It made me chuckle. Another time I was on the phone with my Mom, I hung up and Rocky asked me who it was. I told him it was Grandma to which he said with all the enthusiasm he could muster..."I love her!" It was too cute.</div>

I think anyone who knows me has heard me say, "We will get a dog when our youngest is old enough to pick up the poop." That is not how it played out though. Aaron's mentor at work had one more golden doodle puppy in his litter, and when Aaron sent me her picture, I knew I wanted her. We got her two days before Christmas. She has been in our home about two months and has doubled in size. Her name is Winnie, and I think we kind of like her. Wish us luck as we attempt to train her!<br />

I didn't snap many pictures of Christmas morning. I decided to just enjoy it instead of taking pictures. Now I wish I had taken some more pictures. This year Daisy wanted a baby crib, play dough, make up, and shopkins. Rocky wanted cars.</div>

It went by fast and it was a little bit tiring, but I look forward to the day when we get to go again, probably when our kids all grown. Grandma and Grandpa came with us. It was fun to have them to talk to in long lines and to share the fun of taking small kids to Disneyland.<br />

This was the day we spent in Disneyland. We rode every ride we could. On Pirates of the Caribbean, Daisy sat next to me, and I could feel her little heart pound in her chest. When it was over she said, "That one made me have to pee a little bit." I laughed so hard. Also, this poor little girl that snuck into our photo... </div>

We got a good deal on our rooms because of the military discount that was currently being offered. We got to walk straight into the park. We stayed at the Grand Californian. They had this gingerbread house of the hotel in the lobby. I think it had some 600 pounds of flour and powdered sugar. It made the whole hotel smell like gingerbread.</div>

We did California Adventure too. I would have to say one of my favorite things about the whole trip was Carsland. It was perfect! I was so bummed that Rocky was just a little bit too short to ride the ride there. He would have loved it! I would go back just to California Adventure so he could go to Carsland.</div>

Daisy got to ride all the ride except the roller coaster and the Tower of Terror. She was tall enough, but really would have peed her pants. This was us right before the Cars ride. She was a little nervous, but she did good. I could always feel her little heart pounding.</div>

She did go down the slide though at the Wilderness Explorer's area. There is so much to do at these parks. I hadn't been to California Adventure in about 10 years and a lot had changed and grown. It was fun to see all the new stuff. This explorer place was very fun and perfect change of pace.<br />

I am glad that Aaron takes action and gets us out to have adventures. If it were up to me, we'd be home all the time. I love the memories we made. We'll go back again!</div>

We are both ready and not ready at the same time. Daisy is smart, kind, creative, obedient, and playful. She has also taken to running to her room in a dramatic fit when she doesn't get what she wants or is mad at Rockwell. It's funny to watch. She can get "passionate" about certain things when things don't go as she thinks they should. Daisy likes control. She will love school. She loves preschool. I am happy that she got in the Legacy Charter School out here in Surprise. It is a good school, and I think it will be just the right fit for her. It still make sad to know that this phase of our life is almost over. The phase of our world just being us and our home. Now we will have school and school friends and school teachers, and we will have to leave our house <i>everyday</i>. I am going to miss the mornings of just waking up and snuggling up on the couch with her with no where to go and nothing to do. I am really going to try and enjoy the next few months and take in the last of this time.<br />
<br />
Daisy is still so little, but she does think she is big stuff. She loves to be in charge and take care of Rocky. It's a good thing he loves to be cared for by his big sister. She will be his "mom" and tuck him in. She will be his "teacher" and teach him to write his name. She is a good big sister. She loves her boots and her cousin Laine. She is a bit of a perfectionist which is a good and a frustrating thing for her. She asks me every night to lay down with her. When I tuck her in we always list five things to be thankful for. Her list usually consists of her mom and dad, Jesus, clothes, a house to live in, Rocky, and socks. Her favorite colors are red and pink. She wants to be a Mom when she grows up. Her favorite thing to do is go to Disneyland. Her favorite holiday is Christmas. Her favorite show is Heidi. Her best friend is Allie. And her favorite food is cinnamon toast crunch and chicken noodle soup.<br />
<br />
Daisy is growing up into a great little girl. She is constantly helping me grow as a person. I love her and am so thankful for the spirit she brings into our home.<br />

This was a picture for her first Primary Program. I love this picture. I hope she always knows how special she is and will have the confidence that she is showing in this picture. When they called all of the kids up to the front, she looked so small walking up by herself. It made me choke up a bit. That was a big deal for her to go up by herself. Daisy is very confident if she feels she knows how to handle the situation she is in. So for her to walk up to the front by herself even though it was her first time, felt like a big deal in her little world.</div>

There was a period of time when Daisy "blessed" (forced) me to grow as a parent. Before she could talk, she would get so mad when she couldn't say everything she wanted to. This resulted in months of tantrums that left me with pulled hair and a scratched face sitting outside of her door at a loss for what to do to help my girl. Thankfully, we both learned how to deal a little bit better as time moved forward, and her tantrums became less and less. She is still little, however, and some days are hard. These days usually end in tears. Tears over too much ketchup on her plate, her brother looked at her the wrong way, I won't give her gum...You know tough stuff for a five year old. Daisy also loves to please and obey, but I think her internal battle to please and to do what she wants creates a storm sometimes, and it comes out usually around bedtime. I am still learning how to help her navigate these storms. I want her to be resilient, and I am trying to look at these little moments as practice for when the bigger problems start to come.</div>

I feel like I have finally arrived at adulthood now. Just kidding, I have felt that way for a while, but hosting Thanksgiving is such a grown up thing to do to me. I wish all of my family could have been there, but it was fun to have a small Thanksgiving with my sister Heidi and her family and my parents. It was good day with good food. My Mom taught me how to prepare and cook a turkey, my Dad slept and watched football, all while Jeremiah and Aaron took the kids out for the day. I know that this might be a silly thing, but it was my favorite. One of my fondest memories of Thanksgiving was always after everyone left and the day was over, but the house still smelled like holiday food and the spirit of everyone's good day was left kind of hanging in the air. It was always a comforting feeling to me, but I haven't stayed at the house that has cooked the turkey in years, so it was nice to have my house be the house that had that Thanksgiving smell afterwards. It's a smell that reminds me of Grandma Beverly. It was just a good day. Of course, I loved more than the smell of Thanksgiving. I loved spending the day at home and with my family. Two of my favorite things.<br />

Halloween was yesterday. It was a day full of fun for kids. I, on the other hand got a horrible migraine, that kind of stunk. Aaron had to work too, so that was kind of another blow to the day for me. I love doing this kind of stuff with Aaron. We carried on though and our kids didn't seem to mind. They were on a mission for candy and they achieved that mission. We have way to much candy. We have pretty much just been eating it all day, but I think tomorrow the bulk of it is going in the trash.</div>

This year Daisy wanted to be a witch, a good one, and Rockwell picked out a Power Ranger. He made me so happy every time he told some one, "I a Power Ranger!" and he would stick out his chest. It was so cute.</div>

And for one reason or another I decide not to write it. But I probably should. I usually use this blog to record our day to day life. I tend to leave off the messier parts because who wants to remember those? But sometimes the hard needs to be remembered just as much as the easy...<br />
<br />
It's been about twelve weeks since I had my D&C. I feel like enough time has passed that I should probably stop thinking about it, but I still do. Not obsessively, but it's kind of like it's always just hanging outside of my daily thoughts. I don't think that will go away until I am pregnant again. There are just too many little reminders. I don't want to keep talking about it, and I don't think I do for the most part, but it's just what I am thinking about. However, I have felt at peace since we lost the pregnancy and I am thankful for that and for the children I have.<br />
<br />
I don't think I really need to point out that I have had better summers. This pregnancy, even though it was only a few months long, was rough. I get sick with my pregnancies, but I think my body was trying twice as hard to keep things going because I was <i>so </i>sick. We found out right before we went to South Carolina that I was pregnant and thankfully my sickness waited until the end of the trip before it showed its horrible self.<br />
<br />
I spent the rest of the summer in a morning sickness daze. However, I noticed that I was starting to feel like I actually had energy, but weeks before I knew I should. I was still nauseous, but I could tell something was off.<br />
<br />
When we got home from Pinetop, I went into the Doctor's because I knew. I wasn't even surprised when they couldn't find a heartbeat. That still didn't stop my eyes from stinging though. I know that millions of pregnancies end in miscarriage. I can literally name five other women I know who miscarried the same time I did. It still doesn't make it seem okay though. I have never felt forlorn or blamed myself or anyone. I know the Lord's plan, but sometimes I still feel empty.<br />

I popped out pretty fast...I was a little nervous for the future size of that tummy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The truly hard part though, for me, was that Daisy knew. She drew this the day before I found out. That was hard, but she knows that Heavenly Father needed that little baby to go back home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now we're here. It's been almost long enough that we can start trying again. But I don't want to pretend that this little person never was here, even if it was only for a short while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have felt the love from family and from a family in heaven through out this whole experience. I have also felt the empathy from other women who know. And I am thankful that someday when this happens to someone else, that I can truly know what it feels like and be there for that person. Life goes on and (hopefully) new babies come, but a miscarriage is a unique loss that is hard to explain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thankful for my family and for my Savior. I know that hard things happen to help us grow. I am thankful for that knowledge and hope that when the next hurdle of life comes I can remember that my Savior is there and that he knows.</div>

The last weekend of September we made our way up to the Fall Festival in Pinetop. I have, for the last seven years, wanted Aaron to come up for the car show. It has never worked out for one reason or another, but this year we got to go! It was a good little get-a-way before Aaron started working nights for the outage.</div>

We went to the parade, got a spot right at the start, got some candy, and were out of there in about an hour. That is my kind of parade.</div>

We finally made it to the car show, and I think Aaron was pleased with the showing. We spent the rest of the weekend just hanging out and eating good food. We also got to see a lunar eclipse. My kids weren't much impressed, but it was still fun to stand out in the street with my parent's neighbors watching the moon.</div>

Aaron likes to go home though Globe. Most of the time we stop to get El Rey. But this time we stopped to stretch our legs and walk around Miami instead. I always wonder what it would be like if it had never tanked and lost all of its money. The old buildings and streets are quite neat. Our kids are good little travelers, but sometimes it's just fun to get out of the car and explore a bit. </div>

Just a side story... I had picked out a cute outfit for Daisy to wear, but she threw a fit and wanted to wear this outfit that is over a year old and very worn by lots of "love." Since, we were in a hurry I just let her wear it. Later that night though, I was looking at last years pictures and she wore the same outfit. She totally wanted to wear it again. I know she did it on purpose because I remember doing the same type of things about clothes when I was little. It made me laugh. </div>

Daisy was a little funny this trip. I think she had really high expectations and maybe she had really built this little trip up into something in her head. She had a few little melt downs as you can see from her expression in this picture. Maybe it wasn't quite how she remembered it? But, I do think she got over it and had a great time. She kept saying, "next year I am gonna..." But then I realized next year she probably won't go because she will be in school! Sad! </div>

We went up to Pinetop with Heidi to pick up her kids from Grandma and Grandpa's a few weeks ago. It was a quick trip, but one of the best we've had in a long time. It has been almost six years since I have gone up into the mountains in the fall. It is truly one of my favorite places to be. We would go up every year on my birthday and that has been one of the things I have missed most about moving to the valley, my mountains, especially in the fall.</div>

We finished off the day by helping my Dad get a cord of wood. I have actually never done that. I was always the stacker of the wood. I remember coming home from school in the fall and there would be a giant pile of wood in the front yard just waiting for us to spend all of Saturday morning taking it to the back yard for winter.</div>

I am so thankful I get to stay home with Daisy and Rockwell. There are so many blog posts about motherhood and its highs and lows. Each one that I have read I can usually relate to. Being a mother is one of the most amazing, if not the most, wonderful thing I have ever done. I have felt more annoyance, swallowed more anger, and had to practice the most strict patience as a mother. The emotions that motherhood bring take life to another level. I understand why its part of the plan. It is also one of the most bizarre experiences. I can look at one of these kiddos and feel the most strong surge of pure love and pure annoyance all at the same time. And all I hope for them is that they can feel it someday too! These two make my heart full and I am so grateful for what they have brought into my life. And if you (my children) are ever reading this as teenagers, don't get offended, you'll understand what it is like to live and care for small children someday.</div>

We had a very busy summer and a very lazy summer all at the same time. Since, I wasn't feeling my best we didn't get out much compared to past summers where we would spend hours at splash pads and playing in the back yard. Some things did happen though.</div>

We did get to spend a few weeks up in Pinetop at the cabin. We have been lucky that Steve and Rena bought Grandpa's cabin in Ski Hi and that they have so generously let us stay there. It was fun to be up in the mountains and see Grandma and Grandpa but not take over their house. It's kind of like we lived in Pinetop.</div>

After the parade and into the lull of the afternoon, everyone went over to park before the fireworks. I stayed at the house and while I was on the front porch a car drove up...full of Papas all the way from Missouri. I may have cried. I love to be with my family, but there is always a hole when the Papas are missing. So when they surprised everyone, it made for the <i>best</i> day.</div>

I didn't let her stay in the shower or let her use her favorite red towel (she needed to use the one she already had). I wouldn't run downstairs to wipe her buns. She really likes a thorough wiping and doesn't yet fully trust herself. I on the other hand think it's time she become highly skilled in this area. In other words I don't want to wipe poopy buns. It was kind of a longer day. But as I lay here I can't help but feel so happy that she is my daughter. </span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">She is obsessed with dancing right now. Everyday she dresses in her leotard and dances to the Disney station. It's so fulfilling to watch her strong healthy little body leap and twirl. I know she thinks she looks like a prima ballerina too, so the looks on her face as she dances crack me up. Dance is serious business, fun, but must be done as a true ballerina would do it. I also love they way her long legs look in tights ❤️.</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8IijLlF6v9lWsladvjLqLRL-RVODrO9jetqt4W0TySdZg9zS0c9oMjaqwfiPKHIv54Uh6uVYusHFHFX0hX8Nq49S-Qnh-Y9cXD6u3k8W-zH5wxG9MwB30YFWFf94tbYghnRUi08Fb2Hyy/s640/blogger-image--1981763493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8IijLlF6v9lWsladvjLqLRL-RVODrO9jetqt4W0TySdZg9zS0c9oMjaqwfiPKHIv54Uh6uVYusHFHFX0hX8Nq49S-Qnh-Y9cXD6u3k8W-zH5wxG9MwB30YFWFf94tbYghnRUi08Fb2Hyy/s640/blogger-image--1981763493.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>She made them name tags ❤️.

We left around 3:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, and all I can say is my kids were awesome. They did so good the whole trip. They were the best flyers. They colored, looked at books, ate snacks, and played the Ipad. (We will forever be thankful for Grandma's two Ipads). Daisy was so excited to fly. I was curious to see her reaction, but she seemed to know what flying was all about and was feeling pretty special to be flying.</div>

I snapped this of Aaron while we were waiting for lunch. I know people say that phone use at restaurants is rude to the other people around you and the person your with, but I have found that our phones are usually good conversation starters. For instance, I believe Aaron was laughing at a meme about that poor lady who pretended she was black, but was in reality white, and some how she became a leader in the NAACP. I thought his laugh was funny, so I took a picture.</div>

After the aquarium we went to the beach. This was our kids first time seeing the ocean and playing on the beach. It was perfect. The spot Brooke (my sister-in-law) took us to, was super kid friendly. The sand was wet and not hot, the water was warm, and the waves were kids sized. They had soooo much fun. Daisy said more than once, "This is the best day ever!"</div>

On another day we went on a hike around Brown's Creek with my parents. Sadly, for the first time that I can every remember, there was not water in Brown's Creek. It was still a nice hike and fun to explore.</div>

There is a picture of Aaron and all of his Brooks cousins on this same step when they were all younger. It stays on the fridge in the cabin and is always fun to look at. So we decided that every trip up to the cabin, we will be doing this photo so we can look back over time and see how everyone changes. This was about as good as these kids were going to get. We are glamorous bunch! </div>
