Red Lips and Fear

BJ — Thu, 10 May 2012 02:07:21 +0000

After a small meal of fun park junk food we decided the best course of action was scary rides. There are no pictures but know that both girls rode their first full fledged roller coaster with 2 loops.

So one of the funny things about uploading everything sight unseen from your wife’s phone camera… is sometimes you upload things that probably shouldn’t be there. Honey, if you find it I’ll take it down. For now I’ll leave it … Continue reading →

Zip Line

Catey, Heather, and Sophia rode the zip line at Castles and Coasters. It was a horrendously long wait but they said it was pretty fun. I hung out with Daphne and Phoebe and played with the camera.

This time I’ll just include a small gallery of the best shots of the family playing Putt-Putt. Don’t ask me what I said to my wife to cause her to make that face but if I could remember, I would do it constantly.

Castles and Coasters

Our first major activity in Arizona after visiting with family and letting the babies get acquainted with each other was Castles and Coaster. We did quite a few things there and I’d like to break up the activities into separate posts. Otherwise this post would be far too long and I’d have to skip to many firsts for many of the members of our little family.

The first thing we did was ride the bumper boats. We had Aunt Catey with us to help with managing children and to act as encouragement and the reasonable voice of youth on which rides we should ride.

Aiden

Our main activity in march was a trip to Arizona to visit my my sister Bekah and her lovely family. Their first son was going to be blessed and they were kind enough to invite us to the blessing. The drive was long and made more interesting by the flurries of snow that fell as we were travelling through New Mexico. I still have some additional photos of Aiden to process that have to wait until after Finals but to give you a preview, here’s Aiden with what might seem like a atypical expression on his face… I would like to assure you that it is not atypical. He is really that serious at all times.

Princesses

On particular days of the week, Heather stays at Grandma’s house to make sure Grandma is doing okay. Grandma likes to collect playthings so it’s a pleasurable experience for the girls. It might be too pleasurable.

Bed Head

One of the best surprises we experience as a family is how crazy Phoebe’s bed head is in the mornings.

Valentine’s Day

Sophia celebrated her first Valentine’s day as a school student. I attended the class party and it was as hectic as you might remember. Heather made sure to add an extra touch to her hair and nails.
