The whole reason we decided to go on vacation was to go see my Grandparents in AZ for their 60th wedding anniversary party. I had not seen my cousins on that side for probably 15 years. It was great to be able to go to their house again and see family. It was beautiful up there but it was a quick trip. It ended up raining the night of the reunion. I didn’t get any pictures that night.
There were about 6 Parts of our vacation this last month. Here is the first part. We went to Scottsdale, Az with all my family … my brother was missing, and we played at parks and rode on a train and swam and hung out and laughed in the hotel . It was only about 40 hours total if even, but it was a fun time.
Brad met his cousin Shaun. They are about 6 weeks apart
At the train park with cousins!
The good thing about my Moms job is she can do it while on vacation, the bad thing about my moms job is she can do it on vacation. She was busy talking to someone at the park and so we decided to tease her and all get on our phones and pretend to be talking too. It was so funny when she realized that they were all standing behind her on their phones. She had to continue her conversation without laughing.
Years ago my Sister lived in Az and we would always go to Bahamas Bucks, It is a snow shack place. It was so yummy. That is where we had lunch.
Love these two together. They have moments just like any siblings would have, but they are super sweet to each other a lot of the time. I love them and their relationship and I am so glad they have each other.
They wanted to wear these big headbands. We got them at the dollar store one day and they have never wore them for more than 20 mins. But I got a couple pictures with them on. They are so big and crazy.
One day it was time for Whitney's nap and she wasn’t really wanting to go. So Kaitlyn said, “Hey Whitney, if you go take a nap I will make a special present for you!”
It got Whitney to go to take a nap and she worked the whole 2 hours on this present for her. Coloring a picture for her and she cut out some pictures as toys. We got a bag for her to put it all in and she even made a card. It was so sweet.
Kaitlyn has such a loving heart.
Kaitlyn is so sweet to Brad. She can make him laugh more than anyone else. She knows how to keep a good distance and not be in his face too much but really interact with him. He just adores her. I love seeing my kids relationships build with each other.
We all (except Alma) got a yucky fever about 3 weeks ago. No fun to all be sick. But it lasted 48 hours and then we moved on. We all just crashed and tried to fight the fever off. Poor babies~
Brad is 3 1/2 months. We had an appointment for him the other week and he was 92% for Height and 90% for weight. He is almost 17 pounds and he is as sweet as can be. I get a lot of comments about how big he is. It is kind of fun to tell people when they ask how old he is… I get some funny reactions.
Here are some pictures of him.
He is close to rolling over. Today he did roll over. just took him awhile. Before I know it he will be doing it all the time.
Sometimes I love their faces when they are super sad.
Whitney likes to play the game of: How close can I get to Brad without squishing him and how hard can I squeeze him. Kaitlyn never did anything like that with Whitney. It is getting better but she still loves to get as close as she can without touching him. I keep telling her that one day he is going to get big and she better watch out!
A few weeks ago I was subbing to teach in Relief Society and as a prepared he slept on my lap. It is the little things.
When Brad does Tummy time he puts both arms straight out. All the time. I keep bringing them in closer so he can push himself higher but they go right back out. Too cute! We love this little boy who blesses our life daily.
