Super Grey!

We found a new boy thing Grey just LOVES. After his bath we put the hood from his towel on his head and he loves to run around like a super hero. How do boys just know how to pretend to be Super Man? Well we couldn't post ones just after his bath (you know cause of nudity) but one night after bath time he still wanted a towel so Adam tied one around his neck. Another awwwww moment for us:)

And this picture? He wanted to wear Adam's glasses and Grey thought he looked so cool-seriously he did. Again another boy thing.

A Day at the Lake with Dad

Adam took just Lucy some sunday afternoon to feed the birds at the lake, and they came back with these awesome pics. I love the last four of Lucy actually feeding the geese. They (the geese) are pretty friendly and not afraid of people-especially if you are holding a bag of bread. If you look closely at the last picture you can see Lucy running away from the birds. They still make her a little nervous when they get too close.

Workin' Out

OK so these last three are hilarious. And I think PROVES that Adam is Lucy's Dad (in case you were wondering). It is a sequence of Lucy "running" into a pole. You know for a movie-that they will make some day. They both thought it was so hilarious.

Happy Valentines Day

Lucy asked me the week of Valentines who came Valentines Eve night? "You know like Santa comes Christmas and the Easter Bunny comes at Easter?" I had to disappoint her and tell her that its just Mom's and Dad's that do Valentines so don't expect too much. Little did she know I LOVE holidays and I'm a sucker for Valentines Day. So Valentine's Eve I decided to decorate the table so when the kids woke up there would be a big surprise. I know I have set myself up for future Valentines Days. Anyways Adam was gone, he had gone camping with the Scouts so it was up to me (which is why the streamers did not get put up-hate doing it). It was so fun-Lucy didn't want to open presents until Dad got home but caved except for Guitar Hero which we wouldn't let her open until Adam did get home. She was just so happy with everything and excited about the pretty decorations. Even Grey was super excited-could it be because he got a big red ball, balloons, AND Matchbox cars? I think so. They also got awesome Camelback water bottles. My friend Kristin got me one and they are always fighting over who gets to use it.

The last pic is when Lucy realized what the big box she had been waiting for ALL day was Guitar Hero. She has been asking for it ever since our friends brought theirs over to our place to play. Her fav part? Singing-even though she doesn't know the words:)

Cute Grey

Grey did the sweetest thing the other day. I think I mentioned earlier that he has really become a daddy's boy. Well he found a bag, put it around his neck, gave me kisses, said and waved bye bye, and headed to the door! Why is this so cute you are wondering? That is exactly what daddy does every morning going to work/school. I had never seen him pretend play like that and seriously so adorable. And Grey kept doing it over and over-he wants to be just like Daddy when he grows up:) Man I love that boy-even though he spent pretty much the entire day yesterday screaming and throwing fits because he can't have everything he wants just when he wants it:)

*Note: No we did not take these pics. My friend Amanda did (this summer playing in the fountains at the Arboretum) and I just got my act together and posted them.

Our friends Marcus and Zoe

Not sure how many of you know, but I have been helping my friend and neighbor Marcus with his little one year old Zoe. He teaches at a local college and I watch Zoe. His wife died while pregnant from a brain aneurysm but was kept on life support to give Zoe more time to grow and develop. Its a sad story and while Stacy (mom) was on life support the local ABC news station did a story on all of them. Sunday they did a follow up story now that the case has been settled. Anyways just thought some of you would like to see it.

Worst Mom EVER!!!!

Pics: first plane ride, care ride where he opened his sippy cup and spilled water everywhere,
eating something????, right after his one year shots-so sad

I have given myself this title recently. Why you may ask? Because I didn't even realize Grey had another tooth. He is up to 7 and I had no idea the seventh one was in. I was telling my mother-in-law that I probably have written when each and everyone of Lucy's teeth came in what day, time, and probably even what she was wearing. Grey is officially the second child and I am the Mom I swore I would never be. I am with him as much as I was with Lucy so whats the deal? His milestones are just as important, I just don't know that they are happening. Okay so in my defense I have been sick, but I am ALWAYS sick. And yes I am helping a friend by watching his little Zoe which two one year olds really is A LOT.

So I am doing an update on Grey. He is a handful and into EVERYTHING. I know there are people out there that understand but really will it ever stop??? Maybe I am so busy chasing after him and putting him in time out that I have no time to write his milestones (yes that makes me feel a little better). He is such a picky eater. He loves all fruits, treats, crackers etc. and refuses to eat veggies or meats. He loves cars, especially Matchbox. I love to watch him roll them back and forth and make car sounds. He is great at woofing like a dog. And will be a pro wrestler one day I am sure. Grey is a good night sleeper and an awesome napper. He is very attached to "mama", but is such a "dada's boy". He loves to wave his finger back and forth and tell us "no no" (truly adorable). Grey does have a little problem with biting but we are working on it and he is getting sooo much better. Grey is just amazing to sit back and watch-he is that adorable. Greyson I am so sorry for missing your seventh tooth. I love you sooooooo much, really I do.

More Christmas

It actually snowed! (Yes, the count this as a snow storm)


Cookie Making with friend, Sara. (Ate TONS of sprinkles and some dough, but no cookies)


Gingerbread House Making at school. I volunteered to help even though I HATE making gingerbread houses-I am such a good mom.

Winter Celebration at school. They don't actually celebrate holidays at Lucy's school because of a wide variety of religious beliefs. Kind of sucks but cool that Lucy gets to learn about so many other cultures. (the other girl is Lucy's BESTest friend Ashlee)

Six Flags pics that I forgot I had. Lucy and Malia on the Ferris Wheel.
