It's Miller Time.: A fun filled day with Nana (Paw too of course).

Yesterday Brooke, Cooper and I took the short drive to Plainview for our yearly "help Nana plant flowers" trip. I hope Nana looks as forward to it even half as much as Brooke does. Brooke normally sleeps until around 8am, but yesterday hit the ground running at 7:15 to go see Nana. The pictures were so much fun to take, and there was SO much laughing yesterday that I could not decide on just a few....so LOTS of pics again!

I should have saved one of my favorite pictures for last, but since I am posting SO many I put this one first. This is also a yearly tradition. A picture with Nana and Paw in the swing. She adores these guys, and I have to admit I am pretty partial too. Who would have EVER imagined I would have so much fun with people referred to as IN LAWS?!

This was at the start of our morning together. Brooke was at this point, afraid to get her hands dirty. Do not fret, that changed. Notice who else is 'helping' in this flower bed....hint, he is black, white and furry. Cooper kept getting in the middle of wherever they were.

Proof that Paw was part of the fun too. Brooke took a break from hard core planting (you know how hard SHE was working, right?!) to play soccer with Paw. When Paw walked out in his hat she squealed in delight, "PAW, you're a COWboy!"

I hope Nana (and Paw) rested well last night. I took this day as a sit back and watch them work sort of day. Notice how much help Brooke is being....juice in one hand, helping push with the other.

Brooke's favorite part, of course, is always watering...

Unc Trac and Aunt Angie (Thomas too of course) gave Brooke this awesome watering can for her birthday. It is the perfect gift for Nana's house (since I tend to not water things at our house). You sit it on the base and it fills itself.

Notice who ended up using Brooke's water can. She still wanted the huge one of Nana's.

She followed Nana's every move yesterday. Some of it was actually helpful, some of it was pulling the plant she had just put in the ground with delight. Either way, there was lots of giggling. Paw and I stood in the background just listening to them chatter while taking pictures.

Yes, Brooke has her own gardening gloves at Nana's. This was the first step to her actually touching the dirt yesterday. It was all over after that. ;o)

Watering....see where this is going yet?

Watering the wind sock, which would smack her in the face with every gust of wind...

Yep.....watering Momma and Paw!

And, she turned on Nana too!

Nana came to our rescue....Brooke was gravely disappointed with the kinking of the hose.

Taking a breather, and pushing Nana on the swing.

After some relaxation in the house we headed back out. Brooke was carrying a little handheld fan, and discovered what fun it was to stick it in the bird bath. Side note, the bird bath water WAS clean (Steven). Oh, and in Nana's defense....she doesn't normally go around with such accessories, but she had help.
