Water Fun!!!!

Grayson has been his busy usual self. Two weeks ago, we went to PBS Meet and Greet in the park. It was too fun. PBS puts on a big celebration every summer, with a parade, food, lots of booths and all their characters from their shows so that the little ones can meet them. Grayson met Arthur ( I was even excited to meet Arthur), Clifford, Calliou, and Curious George. Grandpa and Grandma went with us. They even had fun. It was a preview of what to expect when we all go to Disney in September. Grayson danced around the stage to some music and just had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful day. He loved the water fountains and just loves throwing in his penny.

We have been to the zoo a few times too with Daddy and Grandma. Grayson tried out the new splash pad at the zoo. He loves the water. We have also gone the the splash pad at Forrest Park, it's one of our favorites. Aunt Sarah came over the other day and we went to Dillon Park to play in the splash pad. Aunt Sarah had fun running through the water with Grayson.

Grayson has also been busy catching up with his play buddies. Holly, Palmer and Lily stopped over the other day for some play time and lunch. Then we went to Kameron's party last weekend. It was so much fun! I was mad at myself for leaving my camera behind...I NEVER forget my camera! It is always fun when they all get together! Not much has changed around here. We are looking forward to the 4th with the exception of all the news late into the evening! We will be going to my parents for their annual cookout. Have a great and safe holiday!

Proud to Present Squad!

Grayson would like to introduce to you ... Squad! Squad is his new bear. Squad was born 6/10/2008. Grayson adopted him from 'Build a Bear'! We had so much fun. Grayson ran all over the place trying out all the gadgets! First Grayson chose his animal, next he took it over to the stuffing machine. Grayson had to pick a heart for his bear and then kiss it before it was placed inside. Grayson stepped on the stuffing peddle while Miss Carol filled his bear. After stuffing, Grayson gave his bear a bath and a scrub and dried him off. He loved the drier peddle! Once Squad's bath was complete, Grayson picked out some clothes for his new friend. After we dressed Squad, we headed over to the computer to put in all Squad's information so they would know who is owner was. Grayson was given Squad's birth certificate and a box to bring him home in.

Grayson is just now at the perfect age to go in Build a Bear. He had gotten a gift card to there from his relatives in Tuscon Arizona, Aunt Marsh, Uncle Michael, Wesley and Micah. They always send Grayson fun packages in the mail! I even get excited opening them! Thanks to all of them, Grayson has Squad! He had so much fun and it was even more fun for me to watch him in all of his excitement! He sure loves his bear. He drug that huge box all the way to the car and wasn't about to let me help him! Squad even lays in Grayson's bed with Baby Tad.

Mommy and Me

Grayson and I have been on our own a bit with Marc's new opening. The last three weeks have been exciting and exhausting all in one. Marc is such a huge help with everything that with him working so much lately, it has been tough on us both but that is about to slow down as his employees develop. Grayson and I have been busy going to the zoo, parks, visiting Grandpa and Grandma, playing in the water, walking Macie and just having lots of fun! When Grayson and I went to the zoo the last time, he was really into the goats and they were into him. When we walked into the petting area, three came running over to him. I thought maybe he was the 'Goat Whisperer'.

We spent Memorial Day with Grandpa and Grandma. Grayson just loves going over to their house. Grandpa taught Grayson ladder golf. He loved playing the game and did pretty good for a two year old. We also celebrated Marc's birthday. Grayson helped open all the presents and blow out the candles. We always try to make Daddy's birthday a special one! :) Marc finally has gotten some days off. Grayson was having Daddy withdrawal so him and Marc spent the day together. They went to The Children's Museum together while I went to lunch and got a pedicure with my mother. It was a special treat!

Grayson got all dressed in his swim gear and we headed out for some fun in the sprinkler. We have an attachment that is a round tube the shoots water out in a circle. It is a lot of fun. Grayson and I both enjoyed running through it. Grayson has been playing lots of play dough as usual. The other day, he got out his hammer and saw to work on the play dough.

He is such a little singer! It is so cute to hear him sing songs while we are in the car. He hears a song once and knows how it goes. My mom said I was just like that when I was his age! Grayson is into Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley at the moment. We have also been making our weekly trips to the library. They have a reading program for the summer. When we read books to him, we fill out his card and once he's read 10 books he gets a prize. We read so much, it took us one day to fill it up.

Grayson is also really into Spider Man as you all know. He woke up form his nap today and was singing, 'Spectacular Spider Man'. It's the song from the new cartoon. I was listening to him just laughing. Grayson got a power Jeep a couple of weeks ago. He does pretty good driving it. He had to warm up to it at first. He began by just sitting it the passenger seat, then moved on to the driver's seat and now actually drives it with a little help from us with steering. That in a nut shell is what has been going on in our lives.
