Partying, Camping, and Crawling

May was another action-packed month at the Brodrick house!


Phoebe had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party with all of her friends at our house on May 22. That night we had a family dinner at our house for the birthday girl as well. I can't believe that our little redhead is five! How the time has flown!


Over Memorial Day weekend we visited Brian's grandmother (Phoebe) in North Carolina. We all love going to visit Gran, especially Phoebe. She had a wonderful time riding cousin Brandy's horse and tractor and even riding in a covered wagon pulled by mules. The other excitement of the trip was Brian and Phoebe's campout in Gran's yard. Phoebe slept in her new tent all night by herself even though the temperatures dropped into the 40s that night! Brian was so proud of his little camper. I think he enjoyed the campout just as much as Phoebe did...... just ask him how many roasted hotdogs he ate! The picture below shows the campfire they made in Gran's driveway.

Aaron was busy figuring out how to crawl and pull up this month. He has his own unique style that you'll have to see to believe. It's not the Phoebe scoot, and it's not quite a crawl, so I guess it's somewhere in between. He is as happy as ever, and we love him like crazy. I just wish he would stop trying out his 5 new teeth on my shoulder every time I pick him up!


Tomorrow is Phoebe's last day of preschool, then we are headed to the beach for a week!
