Flying

During our last trip to Phoenix, we spent some time at the park with my brothers who were flying airplanes. G loved it. One of my brothers gave G his own. (Not this plane, though).


Maintenance:






B always tries to go for the camera:


G liked watching from the tree:


G teaching E to "watch":


But, he'd rather run:



More of the fam:


Here is G trying to fly his own plane. We figured the snow would make for a soft landing:



E's looking at the fire truck. Not the plane (which is on the ground behind him):


Recovery. Its a good thing G is so light. A and I were sinking to our knees in some places.

First Birthday

This little guy turned 1 last Friday.

Here is his Brobee cake(except B kept calling him Elmo):




He is such a fun little guy to have around.
B is so laid back and easy going. It helps balance out the storm that E creates.
He's talking a lot and can say Hi, Mama, Dada, stars, hat, elmo, ba-ba, na-na, cracker, light, all done, water, milk, ball, I love you...that's all I can remember right now.
He loves to crawl around outside, he loves peek-a-boo and dancing to whatever might be making music.
And...he LOVES to eat. Shocker, I know.

Family Pics

We took these at Escudilla near Eagar a couple weeks ago. It was freezing and super windy, but it was fun to be in the woods wandering around.
