Back From the Desert

We got back from Tucson yesterday afternoon. We are exhausted, but we had the best time. We got all of our favorite food stops and and saw a lot of family. We also did a lot of fun things like go to the Pima Air and Space Museum, the Zoo, and Story Time at the library. James had the best time with the cousins and aunts and uncles and (of course) his grand and great grand parents. We were sad to leave Arizona, but we're happy to be in our own beds.

Here are some pictures from the trip =)

James had his third round of gift giving.


He was very patient when it came time for Grandpa Henry to unpackage the toys (note to self: unwrap all packaging before wrapping gifts!)




Great Grandma Sue and Great Grandmama


It's fuzzy, but it's proof I was there =)


Finally got to play with that car!


Lorraine was such a big help with both boys. I'm pretty sure she was in heaven holding Brendan =)


Lorraine, Jessica and Dirk showed James a great time at their house. He got to pick up dog poop, water plants, and watch Ice Age! James was in Heaven. I was sad when they left for a portion of time we were there. But thank goodness they came back to us!



This picture cracks me up. Brendan's face is priceless.


Uncle Travis and Brendan (I love this picture)


The Baldy Club (Travis was in the middle of a hair cut)


Grandpa Bob


The future Mrs. Mooney-aka Taryn, Travis' fiance. Welcome to the family!


Darin, Denise, and Krista drove down from Phoenix just to see us. It was so great to see them! Thanks for making the trek!



Grandma Nana MaMaw Sandra


Cousin Eric and James. So cute together. They are about the same age difference as Jimmy and his cousin Todd. Really cool =)


James was so excited to see all the planes at Pima Air and Space Museum that he was just running in circles not knowing which way to turn!


I think this is the only picture of the two of us together from the trip. I guess someone's got to be on camera duty!


After the museum we went to In-N-Out for burgers. Yum!



We saw elephants at the zoo...


...and giraffes


Brendan thoroughly enjoyed himself =)


Hey! I was there too!


James had a great time.


I wish I had taken more pictures. Like of cousins Kayla and Maddy and Jimmy's cousin Stacey and her husband Will. They had us over for dinner one night. We had so much fun at their house. Also of Story Time at the library! James was so cute and Georgia made for a great elephant =)

We can't wait until we can make it back to Tucson!
