Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

I'm a little behind, but I wanted to post these pics for Grandma and Grandpa. We had a great time there a couple weeks ago and Brody is still talking about it. We love you Grandma and Grandpa Edwards!

Fun with Grandma under the kitchen table...Brody's favorite hiding place during his stay.
Peeling an orange by himself for the first time. He did the whole thing on his own. Thank goodness for easy peel clementines!
Swingin' with Nick!



Grandpa taught him how to use the tractor.

Ferris wheel with Aunt Christel...no idea who the chubby kid next to them was.
Pirate ship ride...AAARRRGGG!
And last the train ride...Brody's favorite at the Taylorsville Days Festival. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back and visit Grandma and Grandpa again!

4th of July Fun

This year we attended the Gilbert Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. Brody, of course, loved it...despite the heat and despite the crowds.

We introduced him to the wonderful world of Shaved Ice Tiger's Blood...yum!


We realized we arrived to this thing really early in 106 degree heat. Do I love Arizona...hmmm...

Thank goodness for live music and a DJ to keep Brody entertained. I think he danced for an hour straight. I'm not kidding. This kid was running in circles and jumping all over the place to every song. Maybe it was the snow cone kickin' in, but the energy seemed endless.



This is really what he looked like to us, just a blur of awesome moves!


That's me...trying to keep up.


My camera has a fireworks setting on it so I thought I'd give it a shot...pretty cool. Brody was so sweet during the fireworks. He was a little scared at first, but quickly warmed up to the idea and then was totally in love with them. They made the baby kick and when I said she was scared, he started rubbing my belly and saying, "It's okay sister. Just fireworks. Don't be scared." What a good big brother.


Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th!

Smother

So, yesterday, Tyler took Brody to Best Buy to get a birthday present for his little friend Layla. A couple funny things happened. First, Brody disappeared for a bit...not funny...but when Tyler found him he was chillin' in a Lazy Boy at one of their media displays watching a movie and eating Swedish Fish. He saw daddy looking for him and said "Hi Dadda, sit Dadda," and patted his little hand next to him on the chair...funny.

Second, when they were looking for movies they came across the movie Smother with Diane Keaton and Brody pointed to it and said "Grandma." You know, it kind of does look like my mom. Haha!
