Silly Brady

Brady likes to watch a cartoon that he learned about when visiting his cousins in Washington - Fanboy and Chum Chum. There was an episode where they were making noises by putting their hands under their arm pits. Brady thought it was a hilarious and had the giggles. It was very cute. I was lucky enough to catch a repeat episode and I had the camera ready this time.

Another Camping Adventure

This past weekend we headed out to try a different campground called Fools Hollow. Upon arriving we learned that they were full so we decided to head to Lyman Lake again (which I'm beginning to think has become old reliable). We had a great weekend enjoying some family time and good weather.

Camping at Lyman Lake

Last weekend we went camping at Lyman Lake. It's about a 4 hour drive close to New Mexico. It's a beautiful campground and we had a great time. Click on the photo to view the album and pictures of my BIG fish.

Vacation in Seattle

We recently made a trip up to the Northwest to visit. It was a great trip and we were very lucky to get to see a lot of family. Grandma Marianna had a birthday, Uncle Steve turned 50 and my cousin Ronan turned 4. I got to meet a lot of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins that I had never met and spend time with catching up with others that I knew. We spent our last weekend at Great Wolf Lodge celebrating Ronan's birthday. That place was amazing! When I walked in the doorthe first words out of my mouth were WOW Cool! The main attraction was the indoor water park but they had tons of things for kids to do. I'd definitely like to back there. Please click on the photo below to view some pictures from our trip.

Desert Botanical Gardens

Mom took a day off from work and we met Aubrey at the Botanical Gardens. They had an amazing butterfly exhibit and lots of pretty plants and flowers.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter Weekend full of fun. On Saturday we went to an Easter Brunch at the Phoenix Zoo. Saturday evening we colored eggs. Brady did a great job letting them set in the dye but was tempted by the shape of the egg to throw it like a ball. He also enjoyed playing in the dye. Sunday he went on an egg hunt around the house in search of all the eggs left by the Easter Bunny! He was so excited and looking very careful so that he didn't miss any. Sunday afternoon we went to Easter dinner at Grandpa Ray and Grandma Char's. The Easter Bunny had also visted their place and left something for Brady.

The Ostrich Festival

We decided to check out the Chandler Ostrich Festival on Sunday since the weather was so beautiful. The have carnival rides and games, entertainment, Ostrich and Pig races, a petting zoo, pony rides and tons of food. We had a great time and Brady was adventurous and went for a pony ride and feed the goats at the petting zoo. The best part was the name of the pig racing company was called Hambone Express, which is Mike's nickname for Brady.
