Night Out!!

For our anniversary, Chad and I decided to go to Howl At The Moon. I have a friend who lives in Texas who has mentioned several times on Facebook that it's an awesome place to go, so we decided to check it out. They had just opened one in Scottsdale the previous weekend. We were only there for about an hour but we had fun.

The day of our anniversary, I went online and signed up for their mailing club or whatever, and about a week later, I received an e-mail saying that I won a happy hour party for 100 people!!

Well, Friday night, we had the party and about 30 people showed up. WE HAD A BLAST!! Here's a picture that our friend Jeannie took of us!!

BFF's

Ook and Bean. They fight more like brother and sister than anything else. :)

A couple weeks ago, we watched Luke for a few days while TJ and Jenn were in Iowa. I meant to post these videos for Jenn while they were gone, but Brynn and Luke kept us pretty busy and I didn't have time!!

They were playing with some of those sticky hand things and having a lot of fun... this was a close call!!



Here are Luke and Brynn playing on his bed in the office!!

Fun September Pictures!!

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!!):

Happy Easter

Um, yeah. Way behind on posting.

We had a nice easter this year, we went to Steph and Brad's house, which has been our tradition for the last several years. This year was a little different because the Casey's, Scott and Connor weren't there... they had a horrible stomach bug.

Here are some pictures from Easter day and the night before, when we were decorating eggs.

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. :)
