Science Center

Tuesday Jeff had a day off work so we headed on down to the AZ Science Center. I went there one time before with my ASU college class and remember having a lot of fun. I guess I was younger and had a bunch of goofy soon-to-be-teacher girls with me because I remeber it differently. There were buses left and right dropping off field trip crazy elementary schoolage kids and it was pretty crowded. Brody loved the weather portion of the center and watched a fake volcano errupt.
Also, what a turtle eats according to Brody:

Thurdsday Carousel Ride

Every Thursday Brody and I have been heading on down to Superstition Springs mall for the Duper Show and free Carousel ride. Brody dances and laughs! I even ran into a high school friend-Jami Lovell and her little adorable red head boy. Jeff got to zoom over on his lunch break and take Brody around the carousel. I totally spelled wrong in the pict...oh well!

My Little boy

Brody loves to play with items like nail polish, vacuums, hairspray, and makeup. I guess he watched me too closely. Yesturday I went out in the backyard and found him like this:


Just when I think that I am raising Brody too girly...

the kid tries to clober me with the broom

and he hits me (while cracking up laughing)!!!!

We've got a temper problem

I am learning that Brody has some serious temper issues. When that kid gets mad I just get out of his royal way. Can you believe that he is not even in his terrible twos yet? Today cousin Raiden was teasing him with a toy and Brody yelled, clenched his fists, and threw himself on the ground. He's still the cutest boy in the world, but I am a little nervous to see what the future temper will bring. On another note, we have been trying to qualify for a home loan and I am sad to report that our first try was rejected...second place is not saying good things. We have absolutly no debt except for one car loan and the dreaded school loans. Our stinkin school loans are so massive that we will be retired, not able to go to IHOP because we have to save our money for our monthly school loan bill. I guess the worse thing that would happen to us would be that we rent. Not the worst in the world. More info on that to come...

Day at the ZOO

Jeff's aunt invited us to the zoo today with free tickets, so how could we say no to that. I was freezing this morning though. I love the warmer weather and am so excited for it to come back. Here are a few pictures, mostly of the cute Brody:
Brody hanging out in front of the giraffes

Bennett (sorry Rachel, if I spelled it wrong) trying to get a better view

Not the best picture, but this is what the zoo truly is

Raiden with Grandma Ellen-Brody and Raiden fight for her attention!

Holly with just one of her babies

Brody saw the older kids doing this and thought he would give it a try-he's a pretty good climber

Jeff's 10 year reunion

I sat down tonight to watch Desperate Housewives and it is a rerun. :( I actually am posting about Jeff's 10 year reunion a few months late...I completely forgot. See what happens when I don't post as often? The reunion was held at Chase Field and was actually crazy expensive. It is just one of those things you do because it only happens once. I begged my awesome sister for an outfit because I had nothing to wear...of course she handed me a few different outfits, the shoes, jewlrey, and bag. WHat a sweetie! We got to go with Katie and Layne and it was nice because we all felt like we had to leave before it ended because of the kiddos. The dinner was nice, but not too much to do being the wife. Here are a few picts. from the night:
Katie, a girl that I forgot her name but she was a sweetie, and me

Jeff, me, and a couple I really don't know, but very nice

Fun Friday

Had a great day, but sure am tired though. Last night my sis-in-law Heather invited me to the movies-Bride Wars. There were some other ladies in the ward there and it is funny because I actually felt like I was doing something wrong because I left after dark and got home late. NOt the best of movies and I wouldn't really recommend it just because it was too predictable and very short. My stinking husband didn't listen to my directions on bedtime;I promise I yelled them very clearly and loudly as I ran out the house. I-in my very stern, mommy voice-told him that Brody HAD to go to bed at normal time. Jeff loves to play, play, play with that little guy. Well, I got home and asked the question already knowing the answer, "Did Brody go to bed when he was suppose to?" Jeff tells me that he put him to bed at 9:30. 9-freakin30!!!! What other one year old is allowed to go to bed that late? CPS come arrest my husband, not me-I seriously try. Jeff told me that he would ask Brody if he wanted to go night-night and Brody would shake his head. Thanks Jeff for ASKING Brody if he wants to go to bed. Of course he is going to say no. Yes, my husband was out smarted by a one year old! The story gets even better because Jeff says that Brody finally turned to him and said "night-night". Well ladies, Brody is avaliable for babysitting your hubby if you are interested.
