Birthdays in Phoenix

Our birthdays were a while ago, but I am a little behind and still trying to get caught up! Yes, I said OUR birthday because Gary and I have the same birthday and it is a lot of fun to celebrate together!

This is Josh wanting to try out our gift to each other. We bought a 2006 Toyota Sienna for our birthday gift to each other. We broke it in by driving it to Phoenix. Josh would have been content to stay in Grammy's pool the entire time we were there. Josh enjoyed shooting everyone with the water gun and didn't even really get scared when he fell off the toy and Grampy had to pull him out of the water.

We took Josh to the ostrich farm. Grampy Mark was the brave one to feed the ostriches first.

One of the birds decided to nibble on my neck.

He looked a little more like Grampy by the time he was done. Rocking with Grammy after a fun filled day.

Aunt Kimi took Josh to Build-A-Bear. Every night he sleeps with the dog he made at Build-A-Bear, his Snoopy, and a Bear Gary gave him.

Just the guys.

Wedding Bells

I've really been slacking on my postings to this blog. We've been keeping busy and it has been a little crazy trying to get back to normal life now that Gary is back. Over the next couple weeks I will try and get caught up with my blogging.

On May 23 my youngest sister, Andrea got married. She and Jordan were married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Congrats Jordan and Andrea!!

Jared and Carrie moved to Illinois a few months ago. They flew in for the wedding and stayed with us. It was fun to have them at our house visiting.
