Natalie and I also made a trip to Disneyland. Lucas got lots of good pictures with Pooh and Tiger.

I spent a couple days with my cousin Joanna and her kids since J.T. was gone. Brooke loved her kids and they tried to teach her how to play "Duck duck goose". They thought she was pretty good.

They even copied her by crawling around on all fours!

We have had a few very eventful days so I have been slow to blog. J.T. is out of town and Natalie is in town. Brooke has recently mastered pulling her self up onto things and J.T, has yet to witness it so I thought I would post a pic for him. She is very proud of herself but it has delayed her sleep since she can now play in her crib.

While Natalie was down Janae and I met up with her and we took our kids to the park and a little "zoo" for lack of a better word. All of the poor animals looked near death and diseased. Wyatt got his finger bit by a chicken and I have been worried about disease since. Is he o.k.?

Our kids really had fun at the park and I loved watching how active Wyatt and Lucas were. They were even climbing the rock wall!

My beautiful daughter went down the big kid slide all by herself. She is so brave!

Halloween

Brooke and I have been bored lately. We were in need of friends so I called Janae and invited myself over to her house:) Janae was a perfect host as always and even tried to pretend that she invited me over and not me inviting myself. Anyway, we had a perfectly fun filled day. Her days are much busier then mine. We had a mommy and me class and then a mom visit with all her friends.

Brooke was thrilled to see other little kids. She especially loves older kids because they can run around and she loves to watch. Wyatt was so cute with her. He would lead her to his room but she was so slow he would have to run back to make sure she was still coming. It was so funny. She loved it!

We ended up staying at Janaes during the evening which was Halloween. I didn't have Brooke's costume with me so Janae improvised and gave Brooke wings and a wand. She was a perfect fairy. We had so much fun that I am going to invite myself over again this next week:)

These pictures are from a baby shower we went to. Brooke was the only baby there so everyone went crazy over her.

She loves the attention.

Two Shows In Two Weeks

Wow, two shows in two weeks is a lot of work. We take the show on the road next Friday to Corpus Christi, TX. For those of you who saw last weeks show, I am sure you were delighted. For those of you who missed the show...we are no longer friends. But you have a cance to redeem yourselves by watching next week. It will be the debut of street fighting legend Kimbo Slice (Brooke's favorite).

Finals are around the corneer so I have to figure out what happened this semester. I have to admit being on the road four weeks this semester hasn't been great for law school, but I will manage to get by.

News Flash: Brooke does not ALWAYS smile

I had to document. Everyone says how Brooke is always smiling. Most people have never seen her do anything but smile. She smiles at everyone without prejudice.

When I took her outside in the morning so I could read, she stayed straight face. Even without a smile her face is perfect. Look at those eyelashes!

Update

I have been a blogging slacker, I know. And don't worry Becky, the post remains:)

Brooke can now crawl, if you can call it that. She only uses her arms in what I call her "army crawl". She is however very pleased to get around on her own. Due to Brooke's new crawling adventures I feel the need to mop daily and once again invested in the Swiffer. The top two pictures are us at Sushi. We are always there and Brooke loves it. I have given her some food I maybe should not but she loves it. The Sushi chef also prepares fruit just for Brooke and she loves the Soy beans. This will all be new to J.T. Since Brooke had a choking incident J.T. has refused to allow puffs around her anymore. It was scary and J.T. saved the day, and my Brooke.

We have gone to a lot of Dylan's football games. I don't think he has lost one game yet. Brooke gets surrounded by admirers and I even let the cheerleaders hold her. Dylan gets very offended if I read while I am there, but it is all I do anymore. I read all of Natalie's books as well as a ton more. I go to the library and the librarian starts going book crazy pulling all of them off the shelf for me to read.

I do feel like Brooke gets neglected occasionally while I read so I have tried to set up a few play dates. Sad but true, she is not a good playmate. Kids her age do not seem to defend themselves against Brooke and always leave crying. I guess only the older kids can handle her.
Brooke had tons of fun with Wyatt and his computer. It was a field day for Brooke to have access to a computer and she took advantage. Wyatt shared willingly. He also gives kisses now which I made him share with me in order to get his ball back:)

Leesa sent Brooke a butterfly Halloween costume. She is simply the cutest thing you have ever seen.

Where has J.T. been all this time?

As you might assume, this was posted by me--J.T. I could not stand looking at the hideous questionnaire that Britney posted. Who ever sent that ugly thing for for us to post should be ashamed, and banned from posting stuff. Ok, now I feel better.

I realize most of the bloggy here is about daddy not being home; so I must say my peace...I have been working. Above is my fight card for October. Our ShoXC is our farm league show that features the rising young stars of MMA that are sure to impress. Next month, we have EliteXC in Corpus Christi, TX. The EliteXC will feature some of the biggest names in MMA. So, show some love and watch my fights, I guarantee you will be entertained. If you think I'm trying to shake you down for some ratings, just ask Janae Shamo--she is now a HUGE MMA fan after watching just one show!

To the left is Murilo "Ninja" Rua. He was our first EliteXC Middle Weight Champion. In a thrilling fight he KO'd "Smokin" Joey Villasenor in the second round.

So, this is basically what I have been up to--making great fights.
