Bobo and Brooks

Brodie is Brooks' cousin. Brodie sounds a lot like Birdie (Brooks' Grandma). So, since we are getting to spend so much time with our family now, we wanted Brooks to be able to communicate without being confused. So - we nicknamed Brodie: Bobo. Brooks caught on instantly! Brooks and Bobo had so much fun over Halloween. They are really good buddies, and I know that their bond is only going to grow with time. When Jill (Brodie's mom/my sister-in-law) tells Brodie they are coming to visit us, she said that that's all he talks about for the week. This time, on his way down, he told his mom, "Mom - I'm going to put my arm around Brooks and smile real good for pictures." How cute is he? He is so sweet to Brooks. He pushed him around in the small car...He got him extra candy while trick-or-treating...And he did put his arm around him and smile "real good" for pictures.



This last one is my favorite! Jill and I got the afternoon to go shopping at the Round Rock outlets while the boys stayed home with Chad. Children's Place was having a MAJOR sale! We got these shirts for $1.99 each. I also got Brooks a pair of shoes for $.99 and a bunch of other shirts and stuff. Jill got some girls hats for birthday presents for $.19!!! Ridiculous! We had so much fun shopping and couldn't resist the matching shirts.


Since Bobo and Aunt Jill's last visit, Brooks finds Brodie's picture all over the house and says, "Bobo!". Being away from the mountains and cool, crisp air of Colorado is hard...but it's times like these past weekends that make living in Texas THE BEST!
