Funny Story Friday

The Great Outdoors

You can see the differences between our two boys depicted perfectly in these pictures.....

Cade is checking out a worm on the ground. He sat there and laughed at it for 20 minutes, just pointing and talking about the worm. He also loves chasing lizards, but when it comes time to touch the animals, he is very hesitant. He will eventually work up the courage to hold them, but he is my cautious child!!

Brooks on the other hand, like I have said many times, has NO fear!! Josh caught the lizard he is holding and gave it to him to hold. He thought it was so funny and he was showing it to all of us. After he held it for a while, he started shaking the lizard....eventually the lizard was able to escape out of his little hands and crawl away, but not fast enough!! Brooks crawled after him and was able to catch him again and proceeded to shake the poor lizard again!! We eventually had to take the lizard away from him for the well being of the lizard, the poor thing is probably still tramatized!!

Watch the video of my little man and his lizard below...enjoy!!

Swim Meet & Fun Times with the Family

On Father's Day weekend we took a trip to Houston to visit Josh's family and to see Dani.

Dani recently joined the swim team of Forest Oaks Baracuddas. We got to attend one of her meets at Champions Park and I was able to get some great pictures of her swimming!!

1st Relay....she got to swim the 25 meter free style, however, her team got disqualified because one of her teammates touched the bottom of the pool :(

Brooks is checking her out in that funny hat!!

Family pic...minus Grandpere, he had to work that morning :(

Picture of Dani in the line waiting for her turn, apparently people don't take pictures of this part....she said I "embarrassed" her, haha :)

Swimmers take your mark.....

BONK....

Goooo Dani!! Cade was cheering her on at every race. When she would get out of the pool he would point his finger and say "Go swim Dani"...

25 meter freestyle

Swimmers take your mark.....

25 meter breaststroke

25 meter backstroke

And this is where she got disqualified, because she turned over to touch the wall :(

Last race...100 meter freestyle relay

I thought this was a good pic of our little swimmer!!

Cheering on our little teammate....

And the results....

11th place in freestyle

14th place in breaststroke

Disqualified in the first relay

Disqualified in backstroke

(And we never saw the time posted for the last relay)

Overall Dani did a great job for not getting to attend a lot of the practices. We are going to get her some private lessons this summer to work on her technique and block diving and she will be an even better swimmer next season!!! She has the perfect body type for a swimmer and some beautiful strokes, just a little practice and some good coaching and I think we have an Olympian on our hands.....

Cade goofing off on the "sidelines", his hat was quite the hit!!

The boys found the lost and found box with all kinds of fun toys to play with!!

After the swim meet, we went back to DD & Grandpere's house and swam some more!! Everyone joined in on the fun this time.....

Cade loved his new swim shirt that DD got him!!

He loves his juice AND milk...haha!!

Yummy....chips and salsa!!

We had a great Father's day weekend with the family, relaxing and spending time together!!

Happy 13 months!!

Happy 13 Months Old Brooks!!!

Brooks is a big boy now....

-He is walking everywhere and getting into everything!! We officially have a toddler on our hands!! His little walk is so cute, because of the way he crawled with one leg tucked under, his walk is a little crooked. We have been told that will correct itself over time :)

-No more bottles for the Hebert's!! It is the first time in two years we haven't had bottles displayed on our kitchen counters...HOORAY!!!

-He has a total of 12 teeth now and he has 5 more currently trying to push through. My poor buddy has been pretty fussy lately with all those teeth coming in!!

-He is talking up a storm now, it is still hard to understand him, of course, but he is a chatterbox!!

-We are trying to get rid of the pacifier, BUT he has become a biter. That's right, he attacks the children at daycare or his brother when he either doesn't get his way or is unhappy about his current situation. He bit me once on my shoulder and it brought me to tears it hurt so bad!! He has a little temper when he doesn't get his way, I wonder where he gets that from???!! So he has to keep his pacifier in at daycare right now to prevent him from biting the other kids. I mean if I was getting 5 teeth at once I would probably want to bite someone too!!

-The child has NO fear and thinks he can do everything that Cade does!! If you take your eye off of him for a second, chances are he will either fall or get into something he isn't supposed to. I see many injuries in his future. He pretty much maintains a bruise somewhere on his head because he falls so much.

-He is a very good baby. He is a little more fussy than normal right now because of the teeth coming in, but he is always a great sleeper and eater. I have always said he is my hip baby, he likes to be held!! He can be screaming one minute and as soon as you pick him up he is a happy boy!!

-Brooks is turning into such a big boy and is growing up too fast!! Our kids are truly a blessing in my life each day and I get so much joy and pleasure out of watching them grow up and learn new things on a daily basis. I am so grateful for their health and happiness and I try my best not to take anything for granted, I am one blessed momma!!!
