Lee fam summer vaca!!

DISNEYWORLD HERE WE COME!!!

In the middle of May the ENTIRE Lee fam took a trip to Florida. We spent a whole week in Orlando... running around from park to park. 

It was a lot of fun to have everyone there!! Poor Jennifer had a sprained ankle and Craig needed a wheelchair every now and then... but other than that, we were a pretty awesome group :)

We had a 5 day hopper pass... so we were 

on-the-go most of the time. 

In addition to going to ALL of the parks... we had passes to the waterparks. This is a pic of blizzard beach. Craig and Linda stayed back to get a bit of shopping in at the nearby outlet mall.

It was Brodrick and Aaron and my first time to Disneyworld. It's hard to pick a favorite park... I loved Epcot Center. It made me miss the places I've visited around the world and want to travel more. 

I also really liked the Animal Kingdom. Great park!  The dinosaur ride, there, holy cow. That was my absolute favorite! :) It reminded me a bit of the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland (which is my fav!). Good times!!

Chris' Birthday...

Okay, so my birthday was just this week... but it's about time I go back in time and remember a few things that have happened in the last few months. 

So, let's start in April.  April 2nd to be exact.

That's Chris' birthday. He turned 102 this year... or maybe it was 31. Either way, he's old. :)

Chris' parents (and Matt) were in town. We had a low-key birthday and had some cake back at our house... which I made and, surprisingly Chris loved! :)  

Brodrick loved helping dad blow out the candles. We even lit them again...

 just for him. 

Chris got a few fun things...

A tent, which Brodrick and Chris hung out in for quite a while (and Matt ended up sleeping in for two days)

A longboard (now he rides that instead of a bike when we go out for family rides), a sleeping bag (he had to get some camping gear for scout camp), clothes.. and a couple other things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!! I LOVE YOU!

Lounging by the pool

We've had a pretty slow summer so far....

We spend a couple days a week in the backyard. Brodrick loves the pool and runs to the back door a couple times a day... And says 'side'... 'deez... poo'

That means, "Outside! Please mom! I want to go outside and get in the pool!" :)

We can't keep Abner (B calls him "abbey") and Annabelle out of the pool. Anytime we jump in, they're doing the same thing!

I've never met little dogs that like swimming as much as our little guys!  When I don't let them out (because it can get a little crazy with two dogs a baby and me) they flip out... scratching at the door and barking at the fence on the other side of the lawn.

Brodrick is ob-freaking-sessed with the water!

I never thought I'd get tired of water... and especially the pool but EVERYDAY I have to get in the pool, the bath, play in the sink or  (watch for the dreadful toilet trauma) battle him to stay out of the toilet. It's pretty much my other full-time job.  ugh. But it IS cute!! :) I LOVE that I have a little fish for a hubby and baby.

Love you family!

I'll attach pics to this post soon... this is really just a test... so see if I CAN really post from my cell. :) ((Apparently it worked.. and here are the pictures))

Wolverine premiere... awesome.

Well HELLO Hugh! 

Monday we scored tickets to the the World Premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was awesome. 

Hugh rode in on his motorcycle!

We got there late and were a little frustrated because all our friends were near the stage. We were stuck behind the security line (they shut it off like 20 minutes before we got there). We were stuck back with a bunch of onlookers even though we had a wrist band to get in... 

Luckily.... we finally got through and found the BEST spot on the red carpet!! Here are a few of the peeps we met.... 

Ryan Reynolds. (I know.. my camera malfunctioned.. bad shot. Grr)

Lynn Collins...

Hey Hugh... what's up!! He's obviously ready for his close up...

Alice Cooper...

Guy from American Idol? The blind one... sorry, that's not very PC.

We had a blast!

Thank goodness the sitter was able to stay 'til 10:30. Late night for a weekday (at least for us...) :) 

Here's the link to the Wolverine premiere story I wrote for work

Chris is getting old... er

Happy Birthday Babe!! I love you very  much!  

Chris turned 31 on  April 2nd. 

His parents and Matt were here to celebrate. 

I made the cake... I'm quite the little Martha Stew

art... err. Maybe not :) 

Brodrick kind of took over. After Chris blew out the candles Brodrick kept tried to re-blow them out. So we lit them again and let him have a go. Luckily... no spit hit the cake.

Chris got a long board (which he found AND rode before his birthday!), a couple games, cash clothes and... some new camping gear (since he got called to YM & Scouts).  He put the tent up in the play room (we call it the 'pentagon' because it's shaped like one) to play in... and Matt decided to sleep in it for a couple nights.  

I LOVE MY BOYS! 

Happy Birthday love. Don't worry... I'm just a few years behind you. I'll catch up one day. :)

Mom's night out... fun AT the Suns!

My bishop and his wife gave us a pair of tickets to the Suns/Jazz game.

Since Chris is now in scouts... he couldn't make it... so I invited Jenn! She's a sports lover and I figured she would be up for it. I figured right!

Her hubby was already planning to go (since he's a sports photog) and she had been looking into buying a ticket for herself.

We had great seats! 12th row right behind the basket. Not too shabby. Thanks bishop!

It was fun!! Here's the ESPN recap in case you're interested :) The Suns won...

I'm a Suns fan (even though I was born and raised in Utah) and it was awesome to see Shaq, Nash and the rest of the gang in action.

We were close enough to get the idea of how dang tall these guys are... and Shaq doesn't look as clumsy in person. :)

Chris took Brodrick to scouts with him. I hear they had a good ole' time...

Grass is icky...

Ah, Arizona grass. It's not the best... but at least it's not snow. 

Brodrick and I stopped by the park by our new house (woo hoo for our new house!) We ran to the park and then I let Brodrick loose on the infant-sized playground. He liked the swing... the slide was okay... the playground mediocre at best.

But he LOVED the dead grass! 

For some reason our new park doesn't water the grass in the Winter so the grass is crispy. So he kept throwing himself on the grass and rubbing his face in the dead grass and giggling.

 I think it reminds him of the new (and not so attractive) beard that Dad is growing because he makes the same face when Dad rubs his beard on his face.  By the way, I'm protesting Chris' beard... so I won't be posting any pictures of it. :)
