Landen's new pool

Today, we set up Landen's new pool in the backyard. We could not believe how excited he was about splashing in the water. It's amazing the types of pools they have now. This things got a pump, filter, and cover, and you chemically treat it just like you would any other pool. It's really the next best thing to the "real" thing. It's even big enough for him to splash and play till his hearts content, and for me ( and a few girlfriends) to float on a raft and catch some rays. Bring it on, Arizona heat!

He loved the pool so much he was giving it kisses!

Look at that hair! Can you say little Rascal? :)

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Bledsoe

Grandma and Grandpa Bledsoe came to visit us this week. We had such a good time!!

We got to check out the F-16 up close. Can you believe Luke really flies this thing?

We went to White Tank Mountain Park to take an up close look at the rough terrain that is Arizona. There are definitely no cacti like this in Indiana!!

We can see these mountains from our front yard.

At the park

Last week we got to watch beautiful Aria for a bit while her mommy had some time to herself. We took advantage of the sunny day and went to the park. The babies had a blast!

While daddy was playing with Landen, I was able to get some cute pictures of Aria playing in the sand. She has such a sweet, peaceful personality.

Look at those muscles!

GO GIANTS!!!!

I can't believe the Giants beat the Patriots!!! It was an awesome game!! We were so excited for Eli and his team. We had our new friends, who are also here for F-16 training, over to watch the game. Landen had a great time playing with their baby girl, Aria.

Way past everyone's bedtime. Even the mommies look tired.

I thought the below picture was so funny. It was the last few minutes of the game and the guys were both swaying the babies back and forth. You know its that sway you acquire after having a baby and don't even know you are doing it. It's so funny how having a baby even changes how you watch a football game.

On Friday, we decided to check out the stadium and pre-game activities since we live so close. Let me tell you it was crazy!!! We didn't get very far before we decided it just wasn't worth it, but we did take some pictures.

so DOG gone cute!!!

Our little guy has been sicky for the last several days so it is finally good to see him smiling again.

We are also looking forward to the Superbowl this weekend, which is going to be just a few miles away from us at the University of Phoenix. It's been exciting being in a city that is hosting the Super Bowl. I only wish our Colts would have made it here, but oh well. :( At least one Manning made it into the big game. GO GIANTS!!!!!!!

ON THE MOVE

Yet another picture of Landen and his bouncy, only this time he has learned to crawl underneath it. He is definitely getting around now and loves to discover all kinds of new places. He has also learned to wave when you say "hi" or "bye-bye". TOO CUTE!!!! We have video of it and I will make sure to post it as soon as I figure out how to do it.

We're in Arizona!!

We have finally settled into our home in Arizona. Yippie! I know everyone has been anxious to see pictures of the house, but I didn't want to take any until our house didn't look like a tornado hit. Here are some pictures I took this morning. They aren't the best but at least everyone can get an idea. Landen loves all the space he has to move around in this walker. And you will not believe it but Landen's bedroom is painted the same color blue as this room in Columbus. It was just meant to be. So far we love Arizona and look forward to the 9 months we have to spend here.
