Walking!

Blake is officially walking! Until now he's taken a few steps here and there but mostly relayed on crawling. On Sunday he walked back and forth between Tanner and I a bunch of times and we were standing about 6 ft apart. Then did the same thing of monday and by tuesday he decided he liked walking way more then crawling. Now he almost never crawls unless he needs to climb over something. YAY!!! I think?

I took a video of him just walking around but it turned out really bad so ill need to do that again and post it.

This pic was Tuesday night and Blake was really tired and slap happy. He would walk under the basketball hoop while holding it up and then laugh hysterically.

A Day at the Zoo!

We took Blake to the Phoenix Zoo a couple of weeks ago and he thought the animals were great! Blake loves animals and bugs so he had so much fun. The only bummer was that it was like 102 degrees outside! Poor little Blake's cheeks were pink from the heat so we were sure to give him lots of water and sunscreen.

The Animals were so big. I was really surprised at the size of the giraffe, lion and rhino.
We were able to go inside the monkey cage at this zoo. The monkeys were jumping all around us. In this picture above these monkeys are right over our heads!

Blake could not keep his eyes off them. He kept calling them bugs!
Can you find the monkey in the tree?

They also had a petting zoo with goats. Blake was not afraid!

Overall it was a really fun trip and i am glad we got to go before we move to Ky. Blake loves the animals and I shed a few lbs from the heat!

crazy busy

We have had a couple of crazy weeks here at the Barratt house with graduations, birthdays, mission homecomings, family in town, the list goes on. Its been exciting to spend time with Johnny after he recently returned from a mission in Salta, Argentina. He served a full time mission and is now heading up to BYU for summer semester on friday.

Suns game

A couple week ago Tanner and I went to a Phoenix Suns vs Lakers playoff game! (game 4) It was so fun! I have never been to a professional basketball game before and it was awesome! i had been watching the Suns with Tanner all season and now I am officially a phoenix suns fan!

Here is Tanner and I before the game! We are so excited!

The game started out good! we got to our seats and we were winners! we took our winner ticket and got a phoenix sun bag!

Here is the team warming up! we are a bit in the nose bleed but its a small stadium so all seats are good!

I am warming up my clappers! which proved to be a good thing since i cheered the whole time!!! Tanner and i were the obnoxious people who used the loud clappers every time something good happened. Luckily everyone around us was cheering too!

We Won!
