Dino Play Place @ University Mall

July 7th 2010

At the far end of the University Mall is this dino play area. Here are some pics I snapped while they ran around.

This is how Grayden goes down slides.
That's Huntie in the navy cut off.

4th of July 2010

T's fam have a getaway home in Huntsville. We always go there for the 4th & in the morning we head out to the town's breakfast. We use to always eat it in Huntsville but the last couple yrs have switched to Liberty's bc it is way better. There are a lot of fun activities for the kids & booths to buy from. We got Grayden a ride on the tractor catapillar but when it came down to it he would not ride alone. So yes I am the oldest person on that thing by like 2o yrs!

Smile Grayden...

June 24, 2010

When I tell him to smile this is what he does...

"No Grayden, SMILE..."

I just thought this pic was fun bc of his shirt.

Farm Country

June 21, 2010

We went to the farm one day & this cow was so much fun for the kiddos. Sticking his head out that far was a fun surprise.

I just love Grayden in this pic.
This one is blurry :(
Isn't Payden so cute?!

Big Budda!

June 15, 2010
We met Big Budda at this years Cutest Baby Contest. Grayden was too old to enter- shame, with that face he's pulling he surly would've won. :)

Budda works for Fox 13 (also in Forever Strong) & was there promoting Strawberry Days.

Walking on Egg Shells

June 10, 2010

Whenever we use eggs we keep the empty shell in the carton. Once they're all used we then add the shells to the compost basket. Well one time after using all the eggs we left the carton a little too close to the edge of the counter & while I was upstairs getting ready my little peach must of climbed on that bucket & grabbed the carton & then crushed all the shells all over the floor. Joy.


The Zooooooo!!

June 7th 2010

Who doesn't love the Zoo? Grayden had a great time with his friend Payden looking at all the different animals. We even saw the famous Baby Zuri.


This was so cool. The orangutan (i think that was his kind) came right up to the window & did like a bouncy dance move for the kiddos. He loved them & tried to get them to react like they were the show instead of him.


Baby Zuri!



Fun, Fun, Fun!

La Caille

T's parents are very involved in the Sandy Boys & Girls Club. Every year they have some kind of Galla to raise money for it. It was at La Caille & normally people with our financial income don't usually attend such an event but T's parents thought it would be fun for them & all of there kids to share a table & enjoy the night. It was a lot of fun & the food was fantastic!

Swimming Lessons

May 2010

I put Grayden in "survival" swimming lessons this summer. It wasn't easy to watch at first & he cried a bit but other then that I think it went well. I love that he has some of the basics down & now I can feel a bit at ease at the pool.

His favorite part was diving for the sticks at the end of each lesson. He loved it so much we went out & bought the same sticks like the ones pictured.



Girls Get Away to...

VEGAS!!!
It was oober fun to get away for the weekend with no babies! It was the first time for me & it was very relaxing. We sun bathed, swam, hot tubed, shopped, ate yummy food & just relaxed! I went with 2 of my closest friends...

Tessa...

& Natasha.
Thanks for a great time girls!!

Easter Evening 2010

Easter afternoon was spent at my mom's. We always have an egg hunt but it's usually just the adults. Since we all have kids now we decided that this year would be just the kiddos. Our egg hunts have always been very competitive & if you watch the video you'll notice that even though we adults aren't doing it we still can't get it out of our system & are pushing our kids to do the same. Poor Grayden had enough from our home earlier that he just didn't care about this one & us parents couldn't not care & got some what frustrated with the situation.

Easter Morning 2010

We had a wonderful Easter morning & really enjoyed Grayden on his mini egg hunt. He caught on immediately! It was a lot of fun. ( I got this wonderful basket at DI & spray painted it. I love when thrifting pays off!)





(In the video if you're wondering why we keep talking about his legs being hurt the reason is this. The day before climb-ee climber-son decided to try & climb up on that side table next to the stairs & totally pulled it down onto him landing it on his legs. I totally thought he broke them but luckily he just ended up with a few bruises.)
Can't forget Chupie!

Soo Tired!

March 20, 2010

One day I guess Grayden was more tired then usual bc he got up on the couch next to T & just laid down & passed out. He has never done that before & still hasn't. It totally surprised us.
I thought is was so cute!
He can fall asleep in the car just fine but not so much the house unless it's that comfy crib.

UP to No Good

February 18, 2010

This was the first time he discovered he could climb up to the table. Soon after he learned to get on to it which meant I could no longer have anything on the table. Then came standing on top of the table & now today he has to get himself into his booster seat all by himself. He'll go across the table from his booster & climb up that chair & then crawl/walk across the table & lower himself into his booster. If you try to hurry the process & try to lift him into the booster yourself a major tantrum will follow. He is very much into the "must do it myself" stage.

Our Friend Payden

Kangaroo Zoo

January 19, 2010

One day when Heather & Cami were MIA my mom & I had all the boys at Kangaroo Zoo. (It's a bouncy house & big blow up toys place).


Poor Mr. Cohen with his 20th black eye.


Yabba Dabba Do!

January 14, 2010

Grayden went through this stage where he loved The Flintstones. Nope I'm not talking about the cartoon I'm talking about the motion picture with Halle Berry & John Goodman. Why? Not really sure, probably bc everything is extra large & simple & there's dinosaurs. I don't know but if he was in a bad mood we could turn that on & everything would be okay.
