Arizona fun!

My annual visit to sunny Arizona to see Steph! We enjoyed talking and talking and talking...and shopping of course...and playing with dogs and baby. We went to my fav restaurant...Carrabba's--lasagna of course! We also enjoyed a Bahamma Momma. I experienced a good, cool helping of Concrete and lemon squares passed around in RS on Sunday! I laughed so hard I almost had to leave the room! Oh, and I didn't eat one, even tho Steph said they were good...I'm not a fan...but it was still very funny!
On the way home, I stayed with Char and John and John got to meet Dane for the first time! They are good buds already!
Baxter and Rodney...I think they really liked me by the time I left...and maybe they'll even miss me a little! LOL My fondest memory of Baxter (Rodney and I have met before, but this was my first intro to Baxter) is when Steph was changing Dane and talking all sweet to him and making him grin and Baxter was pretty T.O.'d by this so he was jumping up behind her, nipping at her butt everytime he jumped! It was like he was saying "hey, what's going on up there and how can I get in on it!" Very entertaining!
Proof...they're thinking..."hey, who's the new guy and when does he leave?"
Rodney came up to the table one night while we were playing a board game with Dane's soother in his mouth...I thought it was so hilarious and Stephanie even tried trading Dane's for this other one she just happened to have in a drawer...but he refused the other one...he wanted Dane's binky! We laughed so hard...he didn't even bite it...he just sat there with it in his mouth...Rodney and the binky! So Steve held him like a baby and he started to doze off! Must be a magical binky because that's what happens to Dane when he puts it in his mouth as well! LOL
Timothie and Dane
Michael and Timothie (Not sure how Chris managed to escaped the picture taking...but you can see how incredibly tall he is if you go to Steph's blog...he's a whopping 6' 8" (unless he's grown since May!!!!)
Whenever Steph held Dane, Rodney and Baxter were not far away...jealous anyone?
Steph bought Dane some cute 'welcome baby' things...like this little camo onsie...
He was the BEST traveller ever! Every plane...he slept...he was carted around in the hot Arizona weather and didn't peep. People stopped us in the mall (at least 5 times) to tell me that my baby was BEAUTIFUL! I had to agree of course! And his personality matches!
