No.....Aaron is not on Mars!

Do not adjust the color on your screens! This is the right color! While Brady and I are enjoying IL, Aaron is having an interesting time in Kuwait. These pictures were taken from the tower on base there during a dust storm.

Surf's up!

It got warm enough here for a couple days that we got the little baby pool out and put the babies in it (Brady of course and then little neighborhood friends Gracie and Abbie). Brady played in the pool for a while mostly splashing and dumping water out of it. But when he got that raspberry popsicle that was the highlight of his day! Although, I'm not sure if any actually made it inside his mouth!

Yay! I did it!

So I started this thing like 6 months ago but finally got around to formatting it and adding some things to it. For the last month or so we have been in IL visiting my parents and Aaron's while he is deployed. It's nice to have 2 Grandmas "fighting" over us! :) So when I left Arizona it was nice and warm and sunny. Cut to IL - yuck! The weather was crappy for the first month here and it has finally been nice outside. Brady enjoys being outside so we try to get out as much as we can to let him play. He throws a fit when I try to bring him back in. Today we played at the park and he rode on the baby swings for the first time and had a great time!
We also have experienced that crazy earthquake here and felt the aftershocks that followed. I came from out west to the midwest to feel the earthquakes. Pretty strange!
