Brooke Sleeps in Big Girl Bed

Brooke has been wanting to sleep with Audrey in her bed for a while now. After we read books, she will pull the covers up and say night, night. We have tried leaving them together a few nights, but usually Brooke aggravates Audrey and then we have to move Brooke to her bed. I had a MOPS meeting the other night, and when I came home Elmer had left both girls in Audrey's room. We heard Brooke talking a few times, but neither one of them came out of the room. At 10:15 pm, I went to check on them and Brooke was wide awake and Audrey was sound asleep. Brooke then tells me, bye bye mommy, bye bye mommy, which means leave me in this bed and get out! Audrey came in our room at 6:10 and wanted to get in our bed, but I told her that Brooke would be scared if she woke up and Audrey wasn't there, so she needed to wait until it was daylight in her room before leaving. At 6:20, Audrey came back in our room and then I hear Brooke say, hey mommy! Needless to say, Audrey decided to wake up her sister so she could come lay in bed with me.

Audrey's Singing Debut

We had VBS last week and they let the preschool sing before family night. Audrey has been wanting to sing at church for a while now, so she was really excited to get to sing. I have attached a clip from her favorite song, "Boomerang Express, It all comes back to Jesus." We heard this song many many times throughout the week. She even added a little hip action of her own to the movements of the song. It was really cute. Her friend Brayden is to her right with the #22 shirt. Brooke wanted to sing too, but once the music started and everyone was looking at the stage, she quickly got down.

Lobell Family River Trip

River Trip

Audrey wanted to take a boat ride, so Uncle Hunt and Uncle T organized a trip to get her down the river. We had a great time, and Audrey skiied for the first time! After watching Blake do it, she was really excited to try. She did great and even skiied a long way. Uncle Hunt was on the knee board beside her, and her dad was in the water helping her get started. She was a little concerned about leaving her dad in the water, but she held on and went. She also rode on the tube with her cousins. We had a great time. Click on the picture above to see more.

It's a ...

It looks like Audrey and Brooke will have a little brother for Christmas! Audrey really wanted another sister, but when I told her that she already had a sister and now she will have one of each, she was excited. Audrey told Brooke the news and her comment was "Wow!".
