You have until March 22nd to enter to win a FREE Luvi Blanket!

I love a parade!

We all dressed in our green and loaded up the kids and took them downtown to watch the St Patty’s Day Parade.  Weather was perfect and the boys enjoyed watching and collection candy that was being thrown out to them.  Adalyn wasn’t really sure about why we were all standing around watching people, animals and random objects drive and walk down the street so she slept the majority of the time.

Adalyn watching the parade, not really sure what’s going on!

 
Braedyn really wanted a hat.
And he shared with Prestyn.

Chipotle Burrito? or Balloon Boy?  (come on, you know you were thinking it too!)

Park!

Nice weather sent us to the park on Friday.  It was close to 60 outside, but of course the wind picked up and it got a little chilly as soon as we got there.  Oh well. Kids still had a blast.  Adalyn absolutely LOVES the swings and the slide!  Prestyn likes the swings and Braedyn likes to climb.

  
Braedyn’s most recent signature pose.  Point a camera in his direction and this is what you get. 

Dear Miss Adalyn @7 Months

Oh Miss Adalyn.  You are such a momma’s girl.  You make it hard to do just about anything alone without having to listen to your ear piercing screams.  The decibel levels you are able to produce are surely illegal in some, if not most, places.
However, despite this above mentioned annoyance, we all think you are just beyond adorable with your big eyes and infectious toothless grin giant smile!  

In an attempt to capture this extreme adorableness, I had my friend Kim from Trystan Photography take some pictures.  Dropped Braedyn off at school and Prestyn and Gramma’s and headed to Kim’s house.  But do you think you could let Kim see how happy you can be?  Of course not! She did however manage to get a few, most of which I was holding you in though.  Oh well.  I know that soon enough you will become an independent little girl who is too busy running around and playing to sit and cuddle with your mommy. 

Here are some pictures from the mini photo shoot.

 
The Lip we have seen since the minute she came to this world.

And probably my favorite one…..

Swim Time!

Of course we had to take advantage of the weather and the pool.  Not sure anyone else in AZ thought it was swimming weather so we had the pool to ourselves.

We also went to the Phoenix Open in Scottsdale on Saturday.   No pictures though since we followed the rules that said no phones or cameras allowed.  AND we were the only ones apparently that followed the rules, dang it!  If we would have broken the rules like the other 100,000 spectators, then we could have avoided me and two sleeping kids (with only one stroller) being lost for over an hour when we got separated.  Gotta love the security lady, who was standing right next the sign about no cell phones, etc., who asked if he (Brandyn) had a cell phone I could reach him on.  REALLY???
ANYWAYS…..
The boys enjoyed their first golf tournament and getting upfront views of professional golfers playing.  Prestyn even got a high five from Camilo Villegas’s caddy, right in front of a camera so its possible that the boys were even on TV.  Adalyn LOVES being outside so she was happy as can be.
