The "Buffawo" Park

We went to the Buffawo Park, as Steele calls it on Saturday. Our main reason for going was to see the baby giraffe but we enjoyed all of it. Steele loves to sit in my lap while I'm on the computer. He was telling me about the pictures as I was editing them, so I think I will tell you in his words about our trip to the Tupelo Buffalo Park.

Steele: "See the zebra, buffawo, camel."

Steele: It's like a big buffawo!

Steele: Standing on the fence seeing the buffawo.

Steele: walking in the rocks

Steele: Cow not get out of the way! Get out of the way Lucy! Momma, cows name Lucy.

Steele: Camels name Joe.

Me: Tell me about Joe.

Steele: Joe bite you.

Steele: baby buffawo

Steele: This ones a lion. Lion stands up on the table. I see it.

Steele: I see a baby g-raf , big g-raf, and momma g-raf. Momma, wait it's a momma g-raf here. Momma, wait Steele Brooks baby g-raf. Momma you a g-raf?

Me: Am I a g-raf?

Steele: uh-huh

Steele (as he goes in the living room): Daddy, you a g-raf?

Daddy: No

Steele: Daddy, you the big g-raf in the piture on the puter.

Steele: G-raf eat out of Steele Brooks hand.

Steele: Yucky! Yucky hands.

Me: Why was it yucky?

Steele: It was yucky hands.

Me: Why was it yucky?

Steele: Not talking.

Steele: Steele Brooks eat wafers in the Buffawo Park.

Me: Were you playing in the fort?

Steele: Surely does.

(This is Steele's signature saying, he says it anytime you ask him anything, Sure does.)

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Well, it was a little hot to be searching for a pumpkin Saturday afternoon, but we had a good time. I like to think that since this is the second year we've gone that it will be a tradition. I get real excited about starting traditions and next year we will have an addition to our tradition. Mom and I took Steele to Pumpkin Patch Farms in Blue Mountain. We had a great time even though it was a little warm. We wanted to go ahead and go because October gets kind of busy. We are going to see Brooks and Drew play football in Van Buren on the 17th and spend the weekend with them. And, of course we will be getting ready to ship puppies again soon.

Steele loved the bouncy barn and the inflatable slide. He kept saying "It was fun Momma, It was fun Gwam (Gram)." He didn't want to get out.

He loved doing flips.

He also loved feeding the goats.

Then, it was finally time to go to the pumpkin patch. We rode the hayride and he wasn't to sure about all the strange people on there with us. Then when we got out of the wagon, he took off running screaming "It's the punkins, punkins." It was so cute.

Nope, this one's too heavy!

This one is just right. He picked a green one last year too.

This is my sweet boy! How can I resist that face?

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch! Thanks Gram for taking us again this year!

"I just like CoCo"

These were Steele's thoughts Saturday as we went to Colton's baseball games. Steele loved every minute of it. He loved watching Colton play and loved it more when the game was over so he could play with CoCo. One time we were throwing the ball, Steele had his glove on, and he said "I just like CoCo." He was so proud that he had a glove like Colton and he was playing ball. Colton pitched for a little while Saturday and did great. We love going to watch him play when we can.

Well, it's finally here!

Deer season that is! Bow season opened Wednesday and our house hasn't been the same. We have ate, slept, and breathed the anticipation of this day for months. This is all John Paul watches, discusses, and focuses on for months at a time. I also love deer hunting but mostly just because it's peaceful and I love to watch God's creation wake up early in the morning. Now, you know I'm not a morning person, but when gun season rolls around, I will be found many a mornings before daylight in a stand somewhere in the back. I really do love it, but not like my husband. He honestly lives for deer season. Obviously his work and passion payed off Wednesday morning. He shot an 8 point in full velvet at about 8 o'clock. It was gorgeous to me, I've never seen a buck in full velvet. Steele thought it was the best thing ever. He was all decked out in his new Carhartt pants, his new boots, and his camo cap and coat. He was ready to go track that deer. He followed right behind Daddy and Pop as they looked for blood and the deer. He thought he was really doing something. I can tell it's in his blood, he's going to be a deer hunter!

Vacation, Baby Check-Up, etc.

Well, we're kind of slowing down from a busy few weeks. Most of the puppies have gone to their new homes, yay! But we have a new litter of 10 that are 2 weeks old, it's neverending around here.Our doctor's appointment on the 2nd went great. We had a sonogram, I tried to load the pics but to no avail. Baby Brooks #2 was moving like crazy and everything looked and sounded really good. Steele went and was very confused by us telling him that he was looking at a picture of the baby on the screen.

Last week we finally go to take a family vacation. We went to Fort Morgan, AL and had a great time even though the wind and waves were bad a couple of days. Steele absolutely loved the beach. I wasn't sure if he would like the sand or the ocean, but he did. He loved the big water and wanted to go back in as soon as he came out. He even told me Monday that he wanted to go back to the beach and see the big waves. Here are a few pics.

Here is just a cute collage of some cute pics that I took out in the yard the other day, I can't resist posting them because I think they turned out so good!
