The Zoo

Baba, Pop, Nathan and I went to the Phoenix Zoo. Besides Zoo Lights, I haven't been to the zoo for a very long time. What a great time we had! And, the 85 degree weather didn't hurt either! We saw monkeys, ducks, turtles, goats, giraffes, zebra (almost x-rated!), elephants, and so much more. Nathan did great and seemed to really enjoy himself. Here are a few quick pics from our day.

It's a Surprise!!

Amy had her baby!!! Are you ready...it's...a....BOY!!! Brody Joseph made his appearance at 2:46 am on February 26th weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19 inches. Mom and Dad are doing great and loving up their new son. I know I say it every time, but this baby is gorgeous...or, I mean, handsome! Nathan is super excited to finally have a little boy to play with (not that he doesn't love all his 'lady' friends). Congrats to Amy & Joe and welcome Brody!

Our Nights

Between work and school, I don't get nearly the amount of time I would like to have with my lil man. So, I cherish every moment and hope I'm not causing irreparable emotional problems for my child. The countdown has begun, and in 10 short weeks, this craziness will subside. Meanwhile, I try to maximize my sleep, brainpower, and toddlertime!

At the moment, my dear friend is pushing McBaby out, I will keep you all posted. Yes, another baby. This one's a surprise, so I can't wait to hear! Every one send her happy pushing vibes :-)

And, of course a quick photo of us during our too-few evenings together.

Anyone interested?

SUPERbowl!!

As you know by now, the Cardinals made their first appearance in the Superbowl this past weekend. Coincidently, my brother Casey had made a trip out to my brother Greg's house in Portland that same weekend. Since we all grew up in Phoenix, we are loyal to the Cardinals and my brothers have spent many difficult years supporting our hometeam from cities far and wide. Finally they were able to be proud Cardinal fans and the cherry on top...they were going to be watching the game together!
Fast forward to Friday evening...I get a call from Greg asking if I had baby coverage on Sunday...yes, yes I did. Then he asked if I would like to fly out to Portland to watch the game with two of my most favorite guys in the world! Oh my gosh, I was psyched!!! It was a spontaneous, whirlwind trip, but I had the time of my life. I boarded a plane in Phoenix at 8 am Sunday morning and landed back in Phoenix the next morning at 10 am. I was completely exhausted but was glowing from spending a few hours with my bros and sister-in-law. Yes, it was a heartbreaking game, but Superbowl XLIII will always be a precious memory for me.

Indy showing spirit!

VooDoo Doughnuts in Portland was representing!!! Booya!
