Diamondbacks Game

My cousin Kyle is in the military and was going through some training in Arizona, we were lucky to be able to see him a few times while he was around. One weekend he came up and we went to the baseball game! It was really fun to take the kids!

Kayla Jayne Whitney

We are so excited to add another special child to our little family. Kayla was born the morning of the 8th of July. I have been amazed to see the differences between her and Drew. They really are sent to us with their own personalities. I am grateful she is so easy going and happy. She was amazing as we were packing up and trying to move when she was just a few weeks old. Drew loves his little sister. He always loves to give her hugs and kisses. Sometimes he forgets he has to be gentle because she is still little, but he wants to play with her so much! I feel very blessed to have these two children in our home!

Kayla's Blessing

On September 4th we were able to have Kayla's blessing. We were grateful to have so many family members with us. Grandma and Grandpa Whitney came down from Alaska, and even my cousin Kyle was able to attend from Germany! It was a very special occasion for us!

Smile

I was trying to take pictures of Drew with his uncle Ryan, but he kept messing around and making funny faces. I thought it was so funny I had to record it, that is why we keep telling him to smile!

Camp Verde

Camp Verde
On the 8th of May Angie and Shawn invited us to go to Camp Verde and spend the day because Dave was spending the weekend in Utah with his brother Chris. We had so much fun going to the river. Angie's parents were so sweet, they took Drew for a ride in the canoe. Drew didn't like the water so much, he didn't want to touch it, but he loved throwing rocks, sticks and dirt clods into it!


Shawn and Drew saw this snake in the tree house. Camden and Drew were excited to see the snake but didn't want to get near it!

Thank you Shawn and Angie for a great day! We also appreciate the hospitality of the Andersons. We always enjoy spending time with Camden and Dawn! Congratulations on your house Mom and Dad! It is beautiful!

Children's Museum

My friend Hannah took Drew and I to the children's museum. We had so much fun! They had a fire drill about 10 minutes after we arrived and Drew was up in a maze of tunnels and I couldn't get to him. It was a little crazy!

The Zoo

The Phoenix Zoo

I was asking questions about what the zoos were like in the area at playgroup and I was really excited when my friend Amy invited us to go with her to the Phoenix Zoo! It was extra special because Grandma and Grandpa White were able to meet us there! Amy had tickets to go on the Carousel, Drew loved it! He must have rode on the carousel at least 7 or 8 times with Grandpa. Thanks for being such a good sport Grandpa!! He loved seeing the turtles, the zebras, the lion, and the rhinoceros!

We were able to pet the sting rays! Drew wouldn't touch them but he loved having the opportunity to put his hands in the water!
