One of those 'Father-Son' moments
Sean was going to put new mud flaps on our new car today, and Shadwic couldn't wait to help out! He loves doing car stuff with his daddy! He was involved with everything..he read the directions, lifted the car with the car-jack, got Sean the correct tools. It was pretty adorable!

Hiking!
One of our favorite things to do is to go hiking! Lately, well, since kids...we really haven't had much opportunity to. Yesterday my grandma watched the kids all day for us so we could go hike! We went to Sugarloaf State Park, and climbed Hood Mountain. Once we got to the summit it was pretty much socked in with fog. We continued a bit further to Gunsling rock...it was suppose to have great views. Again, it was pretty foggy, but the sun was coming thru and it was so quiet and relaxing. As we finished lunch the fog started burning off a little more, and you could see some of the view. I think it was like 2600 feet up, or something like that. The hike was a little over 7 miles..and a LOT of that was uphill!! Surprisingly today neither of us are that sore! YAY! It was a great time..I hope we get to do it more often!! Thanks grandma for watching the kiddos all day!!
At the top, over the fog!

Academy Of Science
My grandma bought our family a season pass to the Academy of Sciences this year!!! Thank you SO much GG!!! We took the kids a couple weeks ago and they had such a great time..(we did too) We can't wait to go back. They have a living rain forest that is amazing, and the butterfly's fly around freely, one kept landing on Sean..( I think she had a crush on him..or his cologne!)
Me and the kids looking at some bugs in the living rain forest
They also have a few areas outside to play..Shad and Sean climbed this really cool tree!
Apparently Kaihla knows ALL about the fish, and shows Shad what they're all about.. " See brubbie, fish! big fish"
Shad see's them! They really re-modeled the aquarium nicely. Lots of big fish to see
Not sure if Shad knew this Zebra was not real...didn't matter to him though
Shad and Kai riding a big 'ol turtle
They had a few ladies dressed up like "trees" , walking around on stilts, faces painted etc. Well, Shad was terrified, and wanted nothing to do with this 'thing'..Kaihla on the other hand, made a new friend. While we were in one of the stores, she grabbed everything she wanted ( like 6 things) and shared them with the 'tree' lady. She talked to her, laughed, not scared in the least (not like I should be surprised, she doesn't have much fear at all....for anything!)
Not too sure about a butterfly getting that close..cool picture though!

Our trip to Arizona
About a month ago we took a trip to Arizona for Sean's best friend, Patrick's, wedding. It's taken me forever to sort thru the pictures, but I finally did it! We had a really fun time. We stayed in a place called 'The Legacy Resort' which was amazing!!! We had a full kitchen, fully stocked with anything we needed for cooking, a washer/dryer, jacuzzi tub, patio, dining room, and we didn't have to share a room with the kids! On site they had an amazing pool, kids park, walking/running trails..it was great.
Shad and Kiahla at the pool:
I took the kids to the Phoenix Zoo one day while Sean was spending some time with Patrick. We originally were just going to a park, but I got lost and found myself in the parking lot of the Zoo...So we decided just to go! It was fun, and the weather was perfect..not too hot or cold. They had a really cool, interactive Monkey room, where you could walk inside with the monkeys, kinda like a butterfly exhibit. But they warned us not to touch anything because apparently, monkeys pee on EVERYTHING...eeewww..we had a through hand-washing when we got out.
We took this exact picture of the kids last year..this is at the rehearsal for Patrick and Rachel's wedding (they're at the altar) . It's crazy to see how much they're grown in 1 year!!
For the rehearsal dinner we went to this cool, rustic place called Rustlers Roost. It had a metal slide, live music, a killer view, and a huge bull at the entrance...very 'meat and 'taters' kind of place..very unique and cool. Here is where we discovered that Kaihla loves corn on the cob.
Groom and Best Man, and the rehearsal dinner..
Here's Daddy with his kids on the day of the wedding! You can click on it to make it bigger..they're the cutest things on the planet!! All 3 of them!
My handsome husband and son. They both look irresistible when they're dressed up like this!
Here's the Fam before the wedding. They were married at a beautiful place called the Secret Garden..really cool, with awesome mountains (rocks!) behind it.
Patrick and Rachel exchanging vows!!
Me and my babies!! ..not really babies anymore!
The wedding party..they all looked so beautiful!
Shad practicing his model pose..he actually stood like that on his own..too GQ!
Kaihla LOVES TO PARTY!!!! Once the music started..she was on fire!! (although it was late, and she didn't want to give up her blankie or her binkey) but still wanted to be right in the middle of everything. She danced, and danced..she was loving all the attention she was getting. Patrick's sisters, Jenny and Shannon were her main dance partners, but she shared the love too...
Me and Jenny taking a break outside :-)
Sean, Rachel and Patrick. She looked so beautiful!!! ...don't you just love weddings?? I do :-)
Kaihla, dancing again with Jenny
The day after the wedding, we all went to a Spring training game! It was our first spring training game, and it was very cool. Shad liked it..Kaihla could care less..I actually don't think she even knew there was a game going on!!! HA! Shad had his first taste of cotton candy...
he loved it!!!
Shadwic and Daddy at their first baseball game together!
Sean, Shad, and Patrick..(notice how Shad's face is blue..ya, he loved that cotton candy!)
After the game was over, they allowed kids to run the bases. Shad said he wanted to, so we stood in line, forever. Once we were allowed to get on the field, we realized that adults weren't allowed, just kids. To our surprise, Shad still wanted to run the bases, so he stood in line like a big kid, and waited until it was his turn to run....(he's in the brown shirt, and plaid shorts..the smallest one by far out there)
Off he went!! He ran around all the bases! We were so proud of him..I got a little teary seeing my little guy being such a big kid out there..and seeing how well he did! He touched all the bases!
Rounding second, heading into third base..
He made it home!!
Fun trip..hope to do another one soon :-)

The Diva-Kaihla
I think the picture, and video below kinda explain this one..of course once I brought out the camera the singing died down a bit, but still funny.
Brown pals
After dinner the other night, I noticed that Sean, Shad and Kaihla were all matching! So I grabbed the camera and took some pictures! Family photo (minus me!)
Trying to get Shad and Kaihla to both look at the camera is SO difficult! Kaihla doesn't sit still for more than a few seconds anyway, so trying to snag a picture of her is a challenge!
I told them to put their hands on the wall, it was the only way to keep Kaihla next to Shad, but Shad always yells 'Cheese' really loud, and it gives him a goofy face!
Eating his grilled cheese sandwich, and posing. Such a sweet guy. A self-proclaimed 'fixer-guy', loves to help with things, cooking, cleaning etc. all in all, a delight to be around. I love my little man!!!
Kaihla...my crazy girl. Bursting with personality, laughter and fun. This girl knows what she wants, and is not afraid to tell you! It's not often that you see her without a smile. AND she loves it when her Daddy runs around upside down with her!!
