Trouble with Blogger & Google! Oh My!

Uh...If you get this Blog before I have written a single word, you can thank Google who bought Blogger.com. I am finding the new owners to be alot of work & each time I upload 5 pics I have to log off the sight to get back on... Needless to say, it's taking longer than expected to get this posted!

As for the family news... All is going along status quo!

Ri is acting the part of toddler in training! There are lots of "No!'s", occasional scream and more frequent tossing of the body to the ground while bemoaning being told he can't have something... Seems the Terrible Two's might have come roaring in? Yet, he's still the center of our universe & we orbit around him like good mommies.
Given the difficulty getting the posts out, I am keeping this short! Onto the pics!




Ri likes to Noodle the trees and everything else he can manage to smack with it..


















Arizona was a blast in May, we visited friends in Prescott















Lo & Ri in downtown Prescott in the local old Saloon














Fire trucks! Woo Hoo!















Early Saturday Morning fun....





















The boy loves the toddler chair. When he was newborn we would keep him in this chair, he was 5-6 pounds then & didn't move an inch. Things have changed!



















Ri made friends in Sedona, AZ..it was a tough crowd.




















Visiting AZ with friends Cindy and Andrea, they were great with Ri- he was a mess, waking up at 5:30 am & generally cranky... Turns out he had an ear infection! Poor guy...












Sometimes he's not a morning person




















Swim lessons with mom's!

















Happy Mom!




















Notice the innocent look on that face... and the crayon design on the door behind him. This was the first time he did that... Thankfully with washable crayons!

















Post-Beach morning snack in my car...
















FINALLY, he would not sleep on this trip.... When he did, it was all good.





















Arizona May 2007, Family pic















Ya gonna eat that? Ri, Emma and Teagan hanging after the baby shower we threw for Tammy & Emma...













Speaking of Tammy! There she is in all her glory! Baby boy in the belly, she was starting to have contractions when we took this pic.. they stopped several hours later.












Lo & Ri at Swim Lessons!


















Thirsty? Here's some water...





















Ri gets a lesson in Forensics...Ok, maybe just chalk art fun...We loved the extra chalk between the legs, which was accidental but hilarious!

















Getting ready to do some swimming! kick kick kick!



















Me and Ri



















Uncle Chris teaching him to fly an airplane!

Gramma Mimi! We spent lunch with her, chatting, stuffing chips into his play cars and eating salsa! He even knows how to say her name!

Aunt Colette, Cousin Michelle and Ri... Michelle is my baby neice... at 29 years old!













Aunt "ketty" giving him a good trim! He looked great and no blood.. thank you!

















He spent the entire 2 days at his Aunt and Uncle's tossing rocks into the small pond... Zoe, the dog, was his constant companion.

















Uncle Chris giving him the finer points...



















Colette my sister, Baby Michelle my pretty neice and me... Michelle is actually 8 years younger than me.

JUNE 8TH 2007, GRANT ALEXANDER WRIGHT-BROKAW.


Grant was due on my birthday, June 16th... But I predicted he would come sooner & picked the 8th, winning the baby birthday pool! Yeah! Thanks for the extra cash kid...

Isn't he so darn cute?? Looks just as cute as his Aunty Donna!
