Grayden's First Birthday

We had a tiny party with our friends here in San Antonio. Here are a few pics. He really dug the cake and the he and his pal Brooke were into the bubbles she gave him!

Here are some pics of the FINAL product.

He's so handsome!

Grayden's First Hair Cut

In preparation for his first birthday tomorrow Grayden got his first trim. It turned out pretty well, we think.

Grayden v. The Dog

Well apparently the battle continues over who should get the dog's food ball.

Fun With Family

Two Saturdays ago we all loaded up and went to Georgetown TX to visit some of my family. It was great because I got to see one of my cousins who I had not seen in over ten years! Plus I met some other cousins that I hadn't met yet. Crazy.

Grayden had a great time playing with everyone, especially Nanna (my mother). Here is my favorite picture of the day. It was his first time getting muddy.

UPDATES

Ok so I have been pretty terrible about writing on the blog. I get caught up in things and then side tracked. Much is worth mentioning.

Grayden has recently discovered how to pull himself up and walk along the edge of the couch. He still does the army crawl, although I have seen him on all fours more than once, but I am not so sure he will be belly down for much longer.

Here are some pictures of him doing his new tricks. My favorites are the ones by the window. I wonder if he is contemplating the world outside or just looking at the trees.

This is from the other day at the park. It was a beautiful afternoon, unusually cool, so we thought we would take advantage and go for a swing.




Finally, Grayden has two new teeth. I tried to get a picture, but that was just not going to happen, so trust me they are there. Since I could not get a picture of his two front teeth, here he is getting stuck in his play gym. This was only the first of many bizarre places he has gotten himself into.

Jodene Bond

My grandmother. One of the greatest influences in my life and someone who helped me become a better me. She died last weekend and its all a little surreal still. She is the closest person to die in my life. It has not totally sunk in.

My sister sang and we were both pall bearers, a job generally meant for men, but my mom wanted to be one so we all participated. Today was the burial. It could not have been more beautiful. The tender mercies of the Lord were all around.
