I love my babies.

Aren't they so cute!

Virginia vacation

We were lucky enough to spend the last part of our summer in Virginia for just over a week. We had such a great time sight seeing in D.C. and visiting Thad's family in Barhamsville, Virginia. Here is a brief run-down of our trip.

Day 1- up at 2:30am to catch a 6:15am flight to Washington D.C. (who's idea was that?) On a bright note, we stayed at the JW Marriott on Pennsylvania Ave. NICE!

Day 2- International Spy Museum, US Capitol and White House

Day 3- visit Burke (where Thad grew up), Arlington Cemetery, Iwo Jima monument and The Pentagon

Day 4- WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial and train ride to Richmond (funny Cayson story)

Thad- Cayson, do you know who that is?

Cayson- No

Thad- That is Abraham Lincoln, he was our 16th president.

Cayson- Oh, I thought it was Jesus

Days 5 and 6- spent time with family and visited the cemetery where Thad's dad is buried

Day 7- Busch Gardens- Yay roller coasters and Thad screams like a girl on scary rides!!!

Day 8- Virginia Beach and unexpected trip to the ER with Carly

Day 9- We were supposed to go home but due to the hospital trip and the possibility of infection in Carly's shunt the Dr didn't want us to travel. No problem, we didn't want to leave anyways!

Days 10-12- Relaxed and spent time with family

Day 13- Flew out at 6:45pm and arrived at 10:50pm (1:50am VA time...just imagine how much fun that was!)

4 months and a funeral

My baby is 4 months old, I can't believe it!!! We went to the Dr today for her 4 month visit and she had 3 shots...so horrible! She weighed in at 11 lbs 10 oz in the 10th percentile and measured 25 1/4 inches long in the 75th percentile. So basically she is a skinny bean pole! She is cooing all the time now and I love it! She smiles at us and loves to look at our eyes. She hasn't really started laughing yet but she does giggle in her sleep. (its the cutest thing ever!) Carly is such a good baby! Here are some pictures from sunday, this dress is so cute on her!

We bought a door jumper today for Carly and she loved it. I had to put blankets around her to hold her up but she really liked it. She played in it while I was getting ready today and by the time I was done this is how I found her. She's passed out cold!

Carly and Granddad

Granddad loves his Carly. 

When I first found out I was pregnant he always told me, "Think pink!"

He wanted a girl so bad!!!

So here he is with his girl, Carly!

I think they are going to have a special relationship.

Professional pictures

We decided to take Carly to get her pictures taken. Isn't she cute!!

Utah Family Reunion

We had our family reunion in Utah this year over the 4th of July.

Carly got to meet a bunch of new family.

This was her first plane ride and trip out of Arizona.

We went to 7 peaks and I took Carly into the kiddie pool.

Her life vest looks like it is going to swallow her up!

Doesn't she look cute in daddy's sun glasses!?!
