Update...

I'll admit it...

I've been a very lazy blogger. I check my favorite blogs daily, but have just lacked the zest to add to mine.

Anyway, here's the latest and greatest on us:

We're officially moving in 2 weeks. We've found a great place in McCormick Ranch, and I could not be more excited about this move. Since we are moving soon, I've been spending the past 2-3 week packing during Braydon's nap time. Some days I get an hour and others I get three to be productive.

I've known for quite some time that we were moving to a smaller place, so I did spend a couple of weeks (pre-packing) to ransack our house to gather what I could to sell in a garage sale. It was a pretty decent turn out, made a bit of money, and the things that were too big to sell at the garage sale, we (Tyson) sold on Craigslist (which I have a new found respect for).

Our house still hasn't sold, but hopefully that will wrap up here soon enough. Other than that, there's not a whole lot to report.

Braydon's growing by leaps and bounds, and my almost 18 month old is easily filling out 2T and 3T clothing. His vocabulary is growing by the day, as is his free will, stubbornness, and little boy-ness. He definitely keeps us on our toes and has already put us through our first injury scare (fell and hit his head SUPER DUPER HARD). Obviously he's fine, but he had one hellofa goose egg on the back of his head that the doctor ordered us to wake him 2 times a night for 2 nights (to make him walk/talk) to ensure his head injury was nothing more than a big knot on the back of his head.

Other than that, Braydon's perfect, Tyson's perfect, and we are just a happy little family.

Here are a few new pix of Braydon in a practice run in his Halloween Costume and a few others I think are cute!

Feeding the giraffes:)

Because Bray and I are zoo members, we went back again today (w/my dad in tow) and this time we got to feed the giraffes. At first Braydon was completely excited about feeding the giraffes, but when the giraffe's 18 inch tongue darted out her mouth and twisted around the lettuce in his hand, he wanted nothing more to do with the feeding. We were both shocked by the tongue thing (as you can see in my facial expression), but it was still a memorable experience. I've never been so close to a giraffe and was totally enamoured by their big gorgeous brown eyes and thick eyelashes. Anyway, here are a few pictures from our giraffe experience:)

Congrats, Cameron and Jessica!

And welcome to parenthood!!! Our friends delivered their twins (via c-section) this morning and both babies (and mommy) are doing beautifully. Carson, the little boy came in at 7lbs and some change, and his sister Caprice (sp?) came in just under 5 lbs.

Cameron and Jess, I can't wait to meet your babies, give both of you the biggest hug, and love on those babies!

Jessica - wishing you a quick, pain-free, and smooth recovery!

Day at the zoo

This morning Braydon and I headed off for Phx Zoo, and immediately, we were immensely impressed with the zoo that has disappointed in the past. Anyway, we saw all the animals out and about and playing. Braydon was so excited to be there and he's at such a fun age where he's aware of EVERYTHING! Braydon's favorite part of the day was the super awesome splash pad and feeding the ducks his Cheerios. Anyway, here are the pictures from today:)
