Out of Africa Wild Animal Park

Fed the giraffe, saw the Tiger Splash show and visited lots of exotic animals up close and personal. What a park! Happy outing with Mom-mom too!

Vertuccio Farms

Some Fall Festival fun at nearby Vertuccio Farms with my MOPS group. Camryn, Liberty's BFF from preschool, was there and they picked out a pumpkin for a future painting playdate:)

While visiting my ailing Two-Dad in Tucson we stopped at the old UofA to go down memory lane. Made a wish in the fountain, got an ice cream cone at the Union (making wishes come true!), walked around, had lunch at No Anchovies - good times.

Music Class with Ms. Colleen

Since Liberty was 18 months we've been doing the Gilbert Recreation "Kindermusik" class with Ms. Colleen. They have formed quite the bond - and on this day Liberty brought her favorite mouse "Amberly" to meet Ms. Colleen's mouse "Alegra". Ms. Colleen is one of those special people who light up Liberty's life and have taught her so much about listening, sharing, having fun, offering ideas and music. I wanted to have a picture to capture this moment because it's been a class Liberty and I have shared just the two of us for a long time, and Ms. Colleen was truly the first "teacher" role model in Lib's life.

30 Weeks & NAME!

Here is my 30 week belly bump picture. I'm actually 32/40 weeks as I write this. Up 30 pounds, feeling LOTS of fetal movement and feel pretty good overall. Minor symptoms: heartburn, waking up a million times a night to pee, making myself sick on eating junk - ah pregnancy joys. 55 days until due date!

Oh and the bump is most likely HENRY JAMES WYATT. But both Cameron and I had a name change on the day of our birth so we reserve the right to do that too - Tyler and Melanie Wyatt:)

Andy Visit!

Uncle Andy came to visit!!! We went to Sienna's 3rd birthday party (Andy's girlfriend's niece and Liberty's friend) and Andy also helped Cameron build baby Henry's dresser and crib! Liberty was a big helper and enjoyed the heck out of having company around. What is it about company that makes kids so wild?!

IKEA

We went to IKEA to get baby Henry a dresser. Libs selected a "best friend for Amberly" (the gray rat that is buckled in with her) - which is a gray version of her favorite stuffed animal these days - a mouse/rat named Amberly. The new rat she named Asha.

Another highlight - a blue tongue from a lollypop:)

Daddy Date Night

Preschool hosted a Daddy Date Night that involved a few performances by the 3/4 year olds (and our 2 year old), and some projects with dad (legos, playdoh, craft stations). They had a blast together and Liberty seized her opportunity to milk the special evening by requesting a dinner with daddy at Chipotle afterward - happy camper.

Cameron said that Liberty was one of the only kids dancing (even though she decided not to sing I guess). These videos will probably be so lame to anyone who isn't related to this child - but here is 1 (about 1:30long) - there are more if you click the link under the video.

Babymoon to Sedona

Cameron and I took a romantic getaway to Sedona this weekend. Two nights away from Liberty - which hasn't happened since she was 8 months old! She's usually our road trip sidekick - but this time my mom (Mom-Mom to Liberty) babysat her and she did great. We left at 3pm on Friday and returned 2pm on Sunday and had such a good time relaxing in Sedona and pigging out as usual. We took a day-trip babymoon to Sedona when pregnant with Liberty so it was fun to go down memory lane and talk about our growing family. Sedona is such a special place to us - way back to dating, celebrating the evening we got engaged 8 years ago and more.

We had a grown up dinner when we arrived at ENCHANTMENT RESORT and enjoyed the heck out of that resort. The next day was dictated by meals:)
Breakfast at Che ah chi at the Resort (privious night dinner spot)
Lunch at L'Auberge resort - I've always wanted to eat creekside there!
Dinner at Elote Cafe - the local favorite that has a line out the door prior to opening at 5 - we got in, barely.
Dessert at Cucina Rustica - our usual dinner spot, we at least had to visit for a quick stop.
Then, a surprise STARGAZING adventure Cameron planned - with an astronomer and a telescope, and the most starry filled sky I've ever seen. Best husband in the galaxy;)
The next day we headed to the Anthem Outlets for some shopping and then to Barrio Cafe for lunch in Phoenix (another local, no reservations, hotspot I've been wanting to experience for ages).

Then back to my beautiful baby girl. THANKS MOM for making this memorable trip possible.

Play Hard

Meet "Amberly" - a rat from IKEA that get's a lot of special treatment from Liberty - including lunch everytime we have lunch:) And a few of Amberly's friends...

From 2012_9_9 - Random Liberty Playing

Meet Liberty - who really cut loose at preschool making homemade ice cream and looked so disheveled when I picked her up I had to snap a picture when we got home (and this is with somewhat fixed up hair!) Shaking that ice cream bag around was hard work and then eating it was a drippy mess too I guess:) - but someone has got to do it.

Meet Rain - and our flooded back patio. An excuse to get out all the rain gear we own - which is very little.

Labor Day Weekend - Flagstaff, Bearzona

My camera's battery died a few minutes into our BEARZONA outing - so I only have a few pictures of Liberty cracking up with Grandpa and some phone pictures from Grandma and a watermelon-cousin picture from a cookout. It was a good family filled weekend - lots of puzzles (Lib's latest craze) and playing outside at parks in the 70* weather. So nice to have Grandparents in Flagstaff and the 1on1 time that Liberty looks forward to. It was also great seeing everyone together for a cookout at my sisters house (both parents and my sister's family).
