Braeden 4 Month Stats
Braeden had his four month appointment today on his actual four month birthday. It is crazy to see how much time has flown by. It was a pretty uneventful visit, except for his shots, but he is growing at about an average rate. His 4 month stats are as followed:

President's Day Weekend in AZ
President's day fell on my week off and Michelle had a long weekend from work so we decided we wanted to do something fun and go somewhere warm. After looking at our options we decided to visit my family in Arizona. Since Rachael would have been the only one not in Arizona she also decided to come down at the same time. We left Thursday night, by car, after Michelle got off of work and stopped a few hours outside of Phoenix to get some sleep. We finished the drive Friday mid day and enjoyed a few hours of relaxation. That night we got together at the park by my parent's house and had a little picnic while the kids played.
The weather was just perfect. It wasn't hot at all, but nice and cool. We just sat on the grass and watched the kids play. Summer was nice enough to take some pictures for us. She is becoming a wonderful photographer.
On Saturday we had a pretty chill day. We did however have another visit to the park by my sister Christin's house. We decided to have taco salads for dinner and enjoy the nice weather yet again. Drew loved playing in the sand and he was accompanied by his cousin Taylor who also loves to play in the sand. It is nice to see that although there is a 10+ age difference between the two that they can still have fun together.
Summer did another great job at taking pictures for me and I am tempted to make her the official Arizona trip picture taker so I don't have to be in charge of capturing the moments. The sunset was beautiful and there was plenty of light through the evening to allow us to have lots of fun.
On Sunday my father took us to see the Gilbert Temple which is under construction. His company was the one that did all of the steel work for the job so it was fun to see it with some of the walls missing so we could admire his companies work. Unfortunately the visitor center was closed on this particular Sunday so we couldn't get a really good look at the design, but we were close enough. We hope that when the temple is finished we will be able to come down for the special pre-tour of the temple that is for those that have worked on building it and their families.
We tried to get a picture with Drew looking at the camera, but he wouldn't hold still. He wanted to get on the ground and play in the dirt.
Drew's favorite part was all of the dirt and the construction cones that he could pick up and move around. Don't worry they weren't being used for anything important. This visit to the temple site was a great way to
It hadn't been long since we had been in Arizona for Christmas, but it turned out to be a great vacation for all of us. We love it when we have time to visit family and we always have a good time.

Drew's Two Year Stats
Drew had his two year appointment today. Drew is a healthy little boy. He is also one tall and skinny boy with a good size head. Just look at those eyes looking up at you. He wasn't sure what to think standing naked on the scale. Once we got in the room he couldn't stop running around. His favorite part is playing with the rolling chair.
Drew looked a little hesitant in most of these pictures, but it wasn't as bad as it seemed, that is until the needle came out and he got poked. He was tough and didn't let it affect him after a few minutes.

Drew Turns Two!
Drew is now TWO! It is crazy to think that he is growing up so fast. To celebrate we went down to Orem to open presents and have some cake with some of Michelle's family. My sister Rachael was also able to make it.
Drew has gotten better and better at opening gifts and it is fun to watch him get excited for what is inside. He got a book with a collection of Bernstein Bear stories, a basketball hoop, a t-ball set, and a little car. I think he was most excited to see the toy car, but he does love books.
Once he was done opening all the gifts we set up the basketball hoop and have him give it a try. Rachael helped him with a few slam dunks and then he tried some shots on his own.
Michelle had to work all day today, but I had the day off so I decided I would make a cake for Drew. I did a pretty good job at making it as an amateur, but it did crack a little on the drive down to Orem, but it tasted really good regardless of its small flaw.
After eating the cake the kids got to go down in the basement and have some fun. They put a bunch of foam pads on the stairs and used them as a slide with aunt Nettie. They then went into the room that holds all of the dolls and doll furniture that Nettie, and Michelle, but mostly Nettie, collected over the years and took some pictures of the kids.
Drew, and the rest of us, had a fun time celebrating his birthday. The night was perfect, low key, nothing big, but full of fun and family.
