Quick trip to the NW

Our family took a quick trip to Portland this past weekend. My grandma passed away and so we went up for the funeral.

It was so nice to visit where I grew up with my family and to show them all around. We stayed at some old friends house, saw some old friends and caught up with family.

Here are a few...a few pictures from the event.

Introducing Azzy....7 months later! OOPS!

I have no excuse for not posting about the not so new addition to our family I have just been capital L-azy! So here we go.

She was born September 11th at 6:57 am weighing 6 lbs 7 oz and 21.5 inches. The spitting image of her older brother. In fact my first thought was..."oh hi Wrigs"

Holding my little Azlynn Anne right after she was born! What a beauty!

She has been such a joy in our lives..there have been a few bumps with her along the way...she didn't breastfeed and that cause mommy all sorts of guilt...she was so tiny for so long. She wore new born for 3 months and then all the sudden chunked up big time. I still can't get over her chubby thighs!

But we love her and so does her big brother. Wrigley is always kissing her, holding her and trying to play with her...it brings warmth to my heart and a tear to my eye!

Here are some of my favorite pictures over the last 7 months!

We were asked to play the part of Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus in our Stake Live Nativity. It was such an amazing experience!

Whew!

It's been a rough couple of weeks for us.

We started off with Wrigs getting the nasty swine flu and being a sick sick boy for a whole week, but luckily he got better in time for {Trick-0r-Treating}.

We moved my 90 yr old Grandma into an assisted living community. She fell the other day and had a small stroke and isn't doing too well.

The worst part of it all is that my darling sister-in-law Shawna's Father passed away last week from H1N1. It has been so sad that his wonderful life was cut so short. He was such a great "Father" for my older brother Robbie. We know that we will see Neil again someday and that he is with his Father again.

***Here's to hoping that these next few weeks are better ones!***

Family Pics

Lisa, Shawna's little sister took some family pictures before the Brady clan headed back out earlier this month. Lisa is not a professional, but looking at some of these pictures she could be.

Wrigley and Tary look like they are telling secrets up on their Dad's shoulders. That is just they way they are! Best buds!

SO CUTE! I don't think I need to say anything else about this one!

Thanks Lisa! They look great!
