Grayden in Pursuit

Grayden!!!!

Ok so we JUST got home from Dallas, about 20 minutes ago. Grayden has figured how to pull himself across the floor using his arms and knees, not quite a crawl, but just as effective. He has already gotten to the dogs food ball three times, a piece of the dog's rawhide twice and my flip flops were almost within grasp. Yep, I'm a gonner!

These were pictures I took at the birthday party.

Cousin Ewan

This past weekend we attended Ewan Taylor's birthday party. He turned the big 4 and got lots of Thomas the train stuff. Grayden was the youngest, but he had fun watching all the big kids play.

Snow, Sun and Ski

Last week my Dad took me, Grayden, and his 4 and 6 year old skiing in Park City, UT. We had a lot of fun. Troy did not get to come however so trading Grayden around, so I could ski, was limited. I think by the next time I will be fairly descent. My six year old sister was out-skiing me to give you an idea of how "not good" I am, or how good she is. She did take the blues and skied between trees and did jumps, all without falling, with Breanna.

This is my 6 year old sis, Christina, schooling me on the slopes...



Grayden got to see the snow and mountains, but other than that he was pretty restricted in his activities due to his inability to stand yet. He will get there though and soon he will out ski me too.

Oh and while we were visiting we managed to make it to one of Breanna's rugby games where she immediately busted her lip, causing it to fall our of her skin. She got about 12 stitches, but not cosmetic surgery was necessary. Then the following Saturday my dad got to go to another game in the which she got kicked in the face and broke her nose. At least this time she got to stay in long enough to score.

Here are pics of Breanna's injuries. (As a side note, no one has ever had to go to the emergency room until we got there!)

MORE TO COME

I have plenty to post about our little adventure in Park City last week, but its late now so I will write detail tomorrow!

(Troy is laughing hysterically upstairs about something...I must investigate.)

One more thing...

His hair is growing like cazy.


I figured I should mention how Grayden is developing. Lately he has turned into a little Rolie Polie. He has managed to cross vast expanses of carpet and reach for everything from lamp cords to book shelves. Fun times.

Today he showed promising signs of crawling. He knows how to push himself backwards, but has not quite been able to get up on his knees all the way yet. Yep, I know. My days are numbered and I'll be lucky if that number is a double digit!

More Easter Pics

Of course Breanna was a little princess in her yellow froo froo dress

When I was a kid I watched the original Little Rascals a lot. One episode featured Darla wearing this puffy white dress, loaded with tulle. She was beautiful. This little blue dress made feel like a princess and that I was as pretty as she was.lol So much fun!

Random visit to Mommom's

Grayden and I made a little trip to grandma's last Friday and spent the afternoon playing. Amongst the fun, Mommom found a gold mine of pictures from the past. Several of which were from the Easter of 89. I must say me and Bre looked pretty darn cute!

Me, Breanna and Dad, oh and Silver (the dog)

The famine is over!

Its been a while, but the rains have come in...

Last week Grayden and I went to Herman Park to play. We swung on the swing set, talk to a duck and watched some crazy guys feed the squirrels from their hands.

The sun was shining and the sky was blue. It was a beautiful day to say the least. However it was a bit chilly so we had to wear our light jackets. I think Grayden enjoyed the little excursion.
