2 YEARS OLD!!

On August 16th, 2010 Grayden turned 2! We decided to go to Chick-fil-a for dinner, open some family presents & have a red velvet Bundt Cake. His party will be on the 20th.

We sure love this kid!!

Oh Sippy Cups!

August 13th, 2010

Grayden is obsessed with his sippy cups. He treats them almost like a security blanket. He'll walk over to the fridge and whine, we'll give him 1 then he'll tuck it under his arm, whine for another & so on till he has them all. (1 is for water, juice, & milk) It's not like he will really drink them all he just wants to have them close by.


This is what happens when we try to put them away....
....
....
.... total meltdown.

Say "YES"...

This child has been in the "No" phase too long. He refuses to say "yes" & it's really frustrating. In this video I try to mix "yes" in with a few other words to see if I can get him to say it.


A Shower for Baby Bennett









August 9th 2010


Us friends threw a shower for Tessa Colledge. We are so excited for her to become a mom & I believe I speak for everyone in saying she is the most prepared/experienced pre-mother. She is so willing & helpful with everyone's babies- definitely a born nurturer.


We love you Tessa & are so happy you're finally becoming a mommy!

2 Year Old Pics!

August 4th 2010
Words can not describe how big of a little fetcher he was while getting these done. It's amazing we got any. Here are a few of my favorites...

Cowabunga Bay 2010

July 29, 2010

Grayden loved Cowabunga! He did so good and was so brave. He also really loves watching the bucket spill. He didn't love the slides so much, I think bc we went really early so the water was a little chilly & he doesn't like being splashed in the face. Anyway we had a good time there with Tash & Payden.

Our kids sure know how to smile for the camera. The sun is also in there eyes but seriously how ridiculous are these faces?

Oh Ikea!

July 23, 2010

Cami bought a shelf from there the other day & of course the kids wanted to climb all over it. It turned out to be kinda cute.

Oh do you see that thing around Grayden's & Bosten's wrists? That there is called the "Kinder Kord". My little peach is very, very sneaky- one minute he's there, 15 seconds later he's gone. I bought this "leash" so to not lose him & to give me some peace of mind. Well the older cousins think it's cool to "walk" Grayden & sometimes they have to take turns. In this pic it was Bosten's turn. Kind of funny considering the age difference.

Sunny Days

July 22, 2010

In the car if T & I put our sunglass on Grayden thinks he should have some too. I let him borrow an old pair of mine. If the sun is in his eyes he freaks out like the sun is stabbing him. Such a joke!!

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.
