Bowling

Last weekend we went to Garrett Haney's birthday party and Brynn has A TON of fun!! They put up the bumpers and they also have a rack that little kids can put their balls on and push them down so that they actually make it all the way to the pins. Lindy - I think we found something fun to do (inside!) while you're here in a couple weeks!! :)

Brynn's 2nd Birthday - Party # 1

This year we had Brynn's birthday party on the 18th, it was a little early but it worked out great!! We really tried to keep it low-key because we went overboard last year. We ended up having a pool party at Jenn's mom's house with a "fishie" theme.

Jenn and I (99% Jenn) made Brynn's cake and it turned out awesome!! She's so creative and crafty, I wish I could do all of the things she does (she'll probably tell you that she's not, but don't believe her!). I think I might take a cake class sometime, I had a lot of helping her out.

We were really excited because GGMa was able to make it to the party this year. GGPa wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home. Luckily, he's doing much better now. We were also excited because Jody was in town for two weeks watching Brynn while Brenda was on vacation.

We ended up getting Brynn a 10 gallon fish tank and six fishies for her birthday. Fishie # 1 only lasted a few days. The other 5 are still alive and doing well!! Here is Chad setting up the tank:



Here are some pictures from the party (thank you Jenn and Ann!!):

Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium

Bri flew in last Thursday night and we had a lot of fun while she was here!!

We didn't really do a whole lot on Thursday or Friday, we just hung out around the house. On Saturday morning, we took Brynn to swimming lessons, went home for lunch and then went and picked up Matt so that we could all go to the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium!!

We all had a lot of fun, Matt said that he liked it better there than at the Phoenix Zoo. We all got to feed the giraffes and pet the sting rays, which were really cool!!

Here are some pictures from our fun day!!



























We dropped Matt back off at home and hung out for a while. Brynn and Matt became buddies for the day and he even tried to carry her around for a while. :)

Last Saturday, Brynn and I went over to the Casey's house to hang out with Jenn and Luke! Brynn and Luke had a blast playing in a laundry basket... you HAVE TO check out the videos below to see the two cutest kids EVER!!



Oh and while we were there, Jenn was doing some laundry. Somehow, Brynn found Matt's Scoobydoo undies and tried to put them on!! (Yes, they were clean!)



Here are a few of the pictures and videos we took that night:



















Here is ONE of the videos. They are taking me forever to upload. Check back soon to see number two!!

Brynn's boyfriends... she'll marry one of them someday...

Party Hardy!!

On Friday, Jenn had a fun "girly" party!! The only detail that you're going to get is that it was the same type of party that we did for my bachelorette party...

It was nice to hang out with Jenn, Amy, Bri and Erin! I haven't seen Erin since last Labor Day weekend, which really bummed me out. I think we might actually be seeing her again this weekend to deliver some "stuff"!!

Here are some family-friendly pictures from the party!! (I see Jenn and Bri haven't been brave enough to post the fun pictures either!!)

Funky Chicken!
