Dominos with the Grandparents

Sometimes you just capture moments that are just special.  This was one of those times.

Arizona trip

My cousin Jennifer was getting married and we decided to make it a family trip out of the visit.  So we tacked on a few days after the wedding to stay in Sedona and visit a few sites like the Grand Canyon.

The last time I went to the Grand Canyon it was sort of the trip from hell.  What could go wrong did!  And of course traveling in the car for a million hours with 2 small boys beating the heck out of each other...and arguing about the line...."don't cross the line"  "I saw you one my side"....etc.  You get the idea.

Our trip was much more subdued.  Brinson was a real trooper.    Did great in the car and even though having a fever much of the trip, she really did not complain.  Brinson used Mommy's iPad and her MobiGO....so really she was very distracted.

In Phoenix (wedding location), we had a little family reunion.   It was really nice to get everyone together.

Scott's perfect spiral.  Funny joke, because Jennifer could throw a better spiral than he could.

Learning to roll down the hill

While also in Arizona we explored the Desert Arboretum.

The Monarch Butterfly exhibit was really neat.

Then we went to Sedona.  And explored the Red Rock park.  

And there she is playing the MobiGo!

On the way

Yes that is snow.  We were up in the mountains in Arizona...

My 2 favorite girls

I had to add this one, I just happened to catch her smiling.

The Marley Encounter

Here she is walking in.....shy, but like she owns the place.  During the summer they do these encounters 2 times a day 7 days a week.  So this was not her first rodeo.






BTW that is Lisa's foot.  I think the green paint is still there where her toenail was standing on Lisa's sandal.

Look what Marley made for us.

Tricycle and Plasma car

Texting while driving is illegal, but is singing while driving?

Brinson and Shoes

I asked Brinson you wanna go outside and play, she said "Yes, let me get my shoes".  I just decided to see what takes so long.  This day was really no different than any other day.    I took a few random shots as she picked through her shoes.  Pretty much just like her mom....can't make up her mind and takes too long.

Cell phone pics from Moody Gardens

Here are some random cell phone pics. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera charger, so it died partly into the second day.
