Arizona

As I mentioned earlier, the boys went to Arizona with Micah's parents to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa while we went to DC and NYC. Sandy shared her photos with me so I could post them on the blog for all of you :) Here's a bit from their little trip...
I guess Aiden was pretty excited to ride a bus from the airport.

In the rental car ready to see Great Grandma Betty and Great Grandpa Arkie!

Devin's first forward facing car seat ride. I guess he was too big for the infant seat, so they had to get a regular one. When they got back from their trip, Devin had his 9 month appointment and the doctor said it was fine to switch him over permanently. So now he's forward facing next to Aiden in our cars too-and LOVING it ;)

Aiden ready for bed. The Bears bear is his "Daddy Bear" that has Micah's voice on it from a few years ago. Then in preparation for their trip without us, we made both the boys new bears with both our voices on them, so they can play them whenever they felt like they were missing us. I think it worked well for everyone. I guess Aiden played his over and over and over again and had it memorized in no time. And he kept exclaiming "That's my Dad! That's my Mom!". Too cute :)

chilling out

My goobotz :)

Grandpa Arkie gave Aiden his old base ball mit and a hat...how cool!


Give me more food!!

This picture made me nervous...;) What a good sport!

Life is good when it's on a slide


So sweet

Aiden was excited that this tank had a Kangaroo and a cactus on it!

Just don't touch the prickers!
I think the boys had a great time, and I know Arkie and Betty loved having them over. It was nice they got the chance to go and give us some time alone. But we were so happy when we all got back together safe and sound :) Thank you to everyone who made this all possible!!

That is a cute idea with the build a bears. I love that huge cactus. It looks like they had a blast.
