Cars, Candles, and Cake!

Happy Birthday to Daddy!! Brandon turned 38 on the 16th! Wow 2 more years to the big 4-0! Maybe we will celebrate it somewhere tropical! Elizabeth loved the candles but especially the cake!! She can't quite blow the candles out yet, but defnitely tries! This was a bittersweet birthday for Brandon, as he and his Gram shared the same birthday. But, we had a good night with some pizza from Gusano's and Coconut Cream Pie!

Well, I survived my first night at home alone! Brandon, Elizabeth and Brawny went to Hot Springs last Saturday and went to a car show/hot air balloon show with Gramma and Papa. Elizabeth had a lot of fun and daddy found his Cobra that he wants!!! (when we win the lottery)

Elizabeth has discovered how to take her shirt and jammies off, and loves to wear mommy's socks!! She is becoming quite the little toddler! Last Dr's visit 22 1/2 lbs, 30 1/2 inches!! She is going to be tall and thin like her daddy!! Dr was quite impressed with her vocabulary!! I have to be careful what I say when I am driving down 540 though!! Figuirng out how to climb on things to reach what she wants, i found her in the pantry standing on a box to get to her Nilla Wafers!! She also can reach our cell phones, so if any of you get some prank calls, that would be elizabeth!! Balloons galore, she absolutely loves them! We were at the store getting ballons for brandon's birthday and while we were getting into the car, it caught on the door, broke off and blew away, you would have thought the world ended, poor thing, she loves them!! Daddy always finds her one at the Dollar Store and she carries it around for hours!!!

Finally a picture of brawny by herself enjoying her evening snack of a peanut butter ball, spoiled rotten, I know!!

Labor Day weekend

Woo Pig sooie!!! Lots

of wins in the Masterson household, except Michigan, boo hoo! It just isn't the same without Coach Carr!! Anyway, lots of stuff done around the house, Elizabeth was a huge help, in the garage and climbing up ladders to help ch ange the air filters!!! She also has a new "fort" that her Mimi introduced her to!! We made lots of trips to Lowes, Bed Bath, and Beyond, and our favorite TJ Maxx and to Mimi's for grilled hot dogs on Sunday with Aunt Kelly.

Also of note, elizabeth went on her first car date!! elizabeth and Hayden took a drive down the hallway for some cheerios!! Don't worry they were home by 11, am that is!!!

Alligators, Cows, and Goats oh my!!!

Elizabeth has definitely had her fill of animals the last few weeks. We decided that the Tulsa Zoo just wasn't enough of the wild kingdom, so we took a trip to the Alligator farm in Hot Springs while seeing Gramma and Papa. The alligator farm was defnitely more than just alligators, there was a huge fenced in area with goats and deer. The baby goats were absolutely precious, and the bigger ones like to chomp on daddy's pants!!! Elizabeth loved feeding them bread! There was also an Emu that was trying very hard to steal some bread!! There were a ton of alligators that varied in sizes. There were even 3 snow leopards that were georgous!! There was also a timberwolf that looked just like Brandon's old dog "Nan". There were a few monkeys, turkeys and chickens, the chickens were pretty close to the snow leopards, hmmmm lunch?

As if that wasn't enough animal fun, Gramma and Papa have a new calf "Coco" that Elizabeth got to help feed!! She had never seen a bottle that big before!!! and of course "Shadow" or "dodo" the goat, that is always giving her kisses!!! Here are a few pics!
