A DAY IN THE PARK
Our friends Andy and Missy Wegener
Came to visit us here in Houston for the weekend. We had such a great time with them. We went to an awsome Texas Barbecue Restaurant on Friday, then on Saturday we found this really great art festival downtown at this park. They had a couple streets blocked off where artists came and did some chalk art and did made art on the streets. It was really amazing. Plus the park itself was really beautiful right downtown as you can see the city buildings in the background. We had lots of fun rolling around on the grass and just enjoying the nice weather.

Brystal crawled down this hill so many times till she got to the edge of the pond, then she would scream her way back to the top as I carried her up so she wouldn't crawl herself into the pond.
Here she is looking at some ducks. Yes those are ducks. From far away I thought they were turkeys, but when I got close I realized they were just really big ducks. They waddle right up to you for some food.
Andy having a conversation with the duck. I didn't have any conversations with them, I was too scared. I mean look at that thing!

TWILIGHT MOVIE REVIEW
Last night I got to go see the Twilight movie with my good friend Sarah. We went to the midnight preview. When we showed up we saw tons of people, and the line was out the door to get in. Of course most of the people there were hormonal teeny boppers, and we did get called Ma'am by one of them. You know your getting old when a teenager calls you ma'am. Great. Anyways, I was a little tired, but I would have to say that this movie was totally worth going to bed at 3 in the morning for. Besides a few akward moments and the teenage acting by Bella's friends, I would have to give this movie 2 thumbs up. I would watch this movie again and again. And now I can't wait for the next one. It was very clean, and entertaining and they didn't take out any of the good parts of the book. So for all you people who haven't seen it, you should, it was great, and I had so much fun going last night!

FLIRTING
Brystal is practicing her flirting skills in this video. This just came out of nowhere and she just started doing it. So sorry about the nudity in this video, but how could I resist taping her. She is so cute batty eyes and all.
SHAKY MAD FACE
Well it's been awhile since I've updated, not to much going on around here, but here is a random video of Brystal a few weeks ago. It is sad, yet hilarious. Brystal went through this stage where she would clench her fists and her face and shake. We've all seen babies do it, and we all think it is so funny. Unfortunately she doesn't do it on command anymore like she used to. This was the only clip of her doing a good one and it is at the very first of the video. This was taken just before bed time so she was pretty tired and grumpy. The funny part was that she was still doing the shaky face regardless of how mad she was, she did it on her own too, I didn't even tell her to do it.

DOWN ON THE FARM
Last week at playgroup we went to Old MacDonald's Farm. It was such a fun place to go, that I'm sure Brystal will love even more when she gets a little bigger. She played in the big sandpile, picked a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, pet the animals, rode a train and even rode on a pony! It was so fun!
I held her hand on the pony ride, she really didn't know what was happening, just that she was sitting on something and it was moving.
She was so cute and so good, she wasn't even scared.
We'll be back here again real soon!
I'M A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!
Happy Halloween! Today we went to the ward party and had nachos, then had a trunk or treat. Brystal wasn't in the best mood, I don't think she felt so good, she had a cold and a slight fever, and this sweaty costume didn't help. But we managed to go trick or treating afterward with Josh and Kimi and their kids.
THE CHILDRENS MUSEUM
Did I get your attention? Good! Well, this last weekend, my good old cousin Kimi and her family came to visit us. We spent one day at the children's museum downtown. This is a great place for kids, we had such a blast. Our first stop in the Children's Museum takes us to Mexico. Here Brystal dresses as a little Mexican chica while dining on her plastic taco and spanish rice. Mmmmm.
She got to play on some Mexican instruments.
In the science room, Brystal got to experiment with slime and electricity.
Here are some cute baby chicks that whenever Brystal put her hands on the glass they would come running toward her hands. She liked this part.
Here we are at the grocery store. They have a whole room that is designed into a grocery store with the actual wrappers of the stuff they sell in the grocery store, and all the plastic fruit, veggies, meat, cheese, milk, and even ice cream. They give you a little shopping list and you go around and pick out the things on the list and put them in your basket. Here she is filling up her basket with a few of her favorite fruits, applesauce and raisins.
This picture didn't really work. It was hard to hold her over like that and get her to cooperate. Oh well.
Her favorite part was the toddler room, they have a little area that is blocked off for babies. Since she is still too little to do most of the things in the museum this little area was right up her alley. Here she is driving a car.
Look out people! I have a feeling we have a reckless driver on our hands here!
READING A BOOK
There was this room that had computers and a book corner. I sat Brystal in the bean bag chair with a book and she just sat there and read, and would have sat there all day if I let her. She was so cute that complete strangers walked by and thought she was adorable and started taking pictures of her. Of course they did, she's adorable.
