Brylon Songs

Brylon loves to sing songs. She will turn any sentence or phrase into a song. Even her name - she tells me Oma taught her that song. Anyway, I was able to take some pictures of her one evening while she was singing to me outside. I will try to add the words at the appropriate times, but I could never reciprocate the animation that comes with the "live" show.

Pharaoh, Pharaoh

WHOA!WHOA!

Let my people go.

UHHH

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Now she is setting on the floor while I am cooking supper singing "Jesus Loves Me."

This was one of the first songs she learned.

This is one of my favorite songs she learned at school.

You have to say it with an Italian gangster accent.

(God-a made-a)

GOD MADE THE MOUNTAINS

GOD MADE THE ANIMALS

GOD MADE THE SEA

GOD MADE ME!

Then she cheers & claps for herself & says

"Good Job Brylon"

Homecoming 2009

I asked Brylon what kind of cheerleading outfit she wanted this year & she told me "one like Mimi's!" Really??? Why did I even ask?

Well, Britni sent me a picture of her favorite uniform and ....

...Brylon looks just like Mimi.

She loves her uniform & the cheerleaders thought it was pretty cool too.

Here are a few pictures from our Homecoming game.

Just like her Mimi.

Abilene Zoo

Brian's cousin & his wife, Kenny(Brylon calls him Nenny) & Vicki Batla, asked if they could take Brylon to the zoo on one of Kenny's days off. Are you kidding me? YOU are asking IF you can take her for a fun day at the zoo? OMG! She would love that. OF COURSE you can take her.

Well, they did - and she had a blast. She came home talking about monkeys & tigers & giraffes. They even bought her a stuffed giraffe that her & Nenny named Gladys. She had to take Gladys to school & tell all her friends about the animals at the zoo. She is still tugging Gladys around.

Brylon & Nenny feeding the giraffes.

The Abilene zoo has this really cool cross walk over the giraffe's home where you can feed them. They come right up to it & stick out their tongue - which almost reaches all the way across the cross walk (OK I'm exaggerating, but not by much) - just waiting for you to put a cracker down for them to get.

Brylon thought this was pretty cool.

Brylon & Vicki with the buffaloes.

Brylon was mesmerized by the monkeys.

Labor Day weekend, I decided I did not want to go Dove hunting & I didn't want to sit at home while Brian went hunting. So, two of my friends & I decided to have a girls weekend and go back to the zoo. Jaime has a daughter, Hannah, who is 5 months younger than Brylon. I have posted Hannah & Brylon on previous posts. Brandy, who is my right arm at work - I couldn't do my job without her, has a daughter, Macee, who is 7. We had a great time & the girls wore themselves (& us) out. Between the zoo, swimming at the hotel, & staying up waay too late - we all needed our extra day off to recuperate.

Hanging out with the zebras...
...and the giraffes.

The girls had a blast!
