{Skinny Bi***}

We are reading the most interesting book. We laugh because the authors are smart-mouthed about what we are feeding ourselves. It is turning out to be what looks like a vegan diet book, which is a bummer. You know me! I love me some steak! Nonetheless... it is full of great info from carbs to pooping, and it gives us something to talk about other than sports, cnn, buggers, or money. So we will keep on reading our copy of Skinny Bitch while eating Hostess Cupcakes and Peanut Butter M&M's! So much for "Sugar Being the Devil" at this house!

{WALL-E & Water}

Yesterday we took Buggers to see the new movie WALL-E.


Isn't he the cutest thing ever!?! The movie was smart, funny, and a sweet love story. We totally recommend it! Brooklynn was so scared, but I distracted her with popcorn and sprite! After it was over she loved it and can't stop talking about it. Her friends Walle and Eve go everywhere with us.




After the movie we took Brooklynn to the Children's Park at Town Square.They have this big area where water shoots out of the ground for the kids to run through and play. It was so funny to see our little timid girl get into it. She had a blast! We LOVE it here! What else can we say?





{Fremont Street Experience}

We headed on over to Fremont Street to do the Fremont Street Experience.The world-famous, one-of-a-kind entertainment venue is home to Viva Vision, the biggest big screen on the planet. More than 12 million lights in the Viva Vision canopy and 550,000 watts of concert quality sound pumped to speakers. Needless to say... Brooklynn didn't care for the noise and didn't know what to make of the whole "experience."




We also watched the Riders of The Thunderdome.They are the World's Guiness Record Holders! They perform inside the globe of death, which is a 14 foot 3 inch globe fashioned from 4 tons of steel attaining speeds in excess of 40 mph. It was stellar! The best part is that it is all totally FREE!

{Oh Bugger's}


Brooklynn is so funny! Here are a few of her "words" at the age of 3 1/2:

Movie Feeder = Movie Theater
Howlabout = How about
Binks = Binky (and it's a her)
Elemo = Elmo
Canifornia = California
Branshaw = Bradshaw (this is how she says her last name. It's so funny cause if she ever gets lost and they ask for her name she will say " Brooklynn Mai Branshaw. They'll never find us!)

The Facts:

*She loves pj's.
*Her favorite number is 6940.
*She hates freeways and always wants to know how long it will take on em.
*She really hates loud noises. She even covers her
ears when a toilet flushes.
*Her favorite song of the moment is either Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis or
Damaged by Danity Kane. She knows the words to both.
*She is totally scared of flies. Ok. Really all bugs.
*She is finally potty trained!
*She HATES brushing her hair!
*She thinks her birthday is December 24th. (That's mine.)
*She could eat all day! She's like a puppy
looking for scraps. "Hey! Can I have some of that?"
*She hates sleeping. A 3 yr. old insomniac. Go figure!
*She has a sister named "Aungua" and a baby who is always sleeping.
*She loves leg tickles just like her mama.
*She loves to swim and just learned to do backstroke.
*She thinks there are sharks and whales in the pool or any pool.
*She has to have toast every morning while she watches
her "shows." One regular and one cinnamon and sugar.
*She keeps asking us when she will be 16.
*She laughs the hardest when she farts!

I can't believe she will be 4 in September. She is so sweet and a little crazy. We are so blessed to have her as a part of our little family.
