Photo Booth

As I mentioned before we got a Mac. When we were trying it out at the store this was Lucy's #1 reason for why we just HAD to have one. I think it was Adam's also!

Last Day of Summer

I told you I lost most pics and will post as I find them. Okay so these were taken at Hurricane Harbor Lucy's last day of Summer. I really thought she wouldn't be very brave cause she usually isn't. We started in the Wave Pool which went great she loved almost drowning several times. Then we decided to move to the water slides. She picked the Hawaiian Half Pipe for her first slide-seriously. Adam thought "there is no way I want to go down that, but what the hell I will take her up and she will see how high it is and how steep the slide is and change her mind". That did not happen and this was the result:

I screamed their whole way down. People stared at me but like I cared, my six year old was about to die! Lucy could not get ENOUGH of the slides. The higher the scarier the better. I was in awe of this chick. Way to go Lu! Just a note of how "Momish" I have become. I did go down one slide with Lucy-one of those tunnel twisty ones and that was enough for me. I was so motion sick! I have totally become Dianne (my mom).

Grey's FAV slide. He thought he was so big and brave. Lucy put up with going down it once for my sake so I could get a pic of the two of them together.

The Pineapple Express turned out to be Lucy's fav. You just went straight down on a mat on your stomach. Whatever!

YO GABBA GABBA!!!!!

Grey still loves Gabba.  In fact it is the ONLY TV he watches.  So when we heard Plex was going to be at Toys'R'Us you know we were all over it.  Lucy, Adam and I were so excited to see his reaction.  Grey's reaction when he first saw our dear friend Plex:  little overwhelmed, little scared, no facial expressions, just a Beavis and Butthead like chuckle.  So funny!  He really could not believe his eyes.  Grey never did dare to give Plex a high five but Grey did follow him around the store until some toys lured him away.  I do believe it was Grey's greatest moment so far in his 23 month life.

BARBIE!!!  The store conveniently had some Barbie dolls nearby that were buy 1 get one free, so Lucy got one for her and her best buddy Sara autographed by the doll herself!

Some More Firsts:

Grey's first dinner date with Erin, who by the way calls Grey "my Grey".

I love that girl.....

First REAL haircut:

#1  Screammmming!  #2  Stick the sucker in.  #3  Its all good as long as I have Mom's hand.

So Far No Good

Still have not recovered our summer pics but I found a plethora of fun pics on my phone.  Some are summer and some are from the last school year.  All are priceless to me so I decided to post them all for my sake (and the family journal sake).

Airplane ride back from Utah.  Considering we had two stops before reached Dallas, I think the kids did AWESOME.

Lucy, Bubba the dog, and Grampie....we miss you both.

Cousin Autumn and Lucy all ready for Cheer Camp.  I took them shopping first to pick out cheer outfits.  They even got to be in the Kaysville parade.  Which I have the cutest pics of that are on my memory stick stuck in my laptop.  Suck!

Nanny, Gramie, and Lucy.  The four of us went to the Deseret Star Playhouse to watch a play.  The Grandmas enjoyed it much more than Lucy and I.  But we got to eat while watching which makes any activity fun:)

Okay these next four pics are from Lucy's school field trip to the Dallas Zoo.  I got to go and had so much fun.  We sure miss Lucy's buddies from Alex Sanger Elementary:(

Jalissa and Lucy on the tram.

Jalissa, Lu, Abigail doing the rabbit ears, and Dusy (as in rhymes with Lucy remember?!)

Grey's first day of Nursery coloring his first Nursery picture.  Awwwww.  

Okay so these are so old but couldn't leave them out.  Easter at school.  They had an egg hunt for the kindergarten classes.  I got to help and watch 60+ kids collect a bajillion eggs in about a minute.

Okay so I am proud of this one.  Lucy and I decided to make an Easter treat for her class.  We did the birds nest and used Rice Krispie Treats for the nest, candy grass, jelly beans, and of course a YELLOW Peep (cause birds are really yellow said Lucy).  We were a hit and I was the coolest mom.

Lucy's First Day of 1st Grade

....one week later.  Not my fault completely we did get a new computer but switched to a Mac.  Adam and I were both a little hesitant to start using it but here I am and I'm loving every minute of it!  Lucy started at a new school this year.  She got into Dealey Montessori School which is a big a achievement.  It is a highly competitive school and we are still so proud.  So far she loves Music and Art classes.  She likes her Gifted and Talented Teacher.  Thinks Ms. Matere, her teacher teacher, is pretty.  But I have to admit she is struggling.  Just tonight she told me she doesn't feel like she has any friends yet.  As we all know Lucy is super shy.  Her class is made up of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.  They are all sweet and kind children at least the one I have met.  But Lucy is not outgoing and it seems like the other children respect her shyness and aren't pushing her.  Little do they know she needs pushing.  I wish I could sit by her at school for a day and help her feel more comfortable because once she does I know she will make lots of friends like she always does.  She has cried two of the six mornings and so have I.  This is going to be a rough year:(  It can only go up from here!

At her desk begging me to stay for just a few more minutes.  NOT loving every minute of it.

Pic of Grey while we were waiting in the auditorium for the bell to ring so Lu could go to class.  He really wanted me to take a picture of his baby.   Its a zebra.  Grey did have a gray pony since birth.  He loved it and took it every where with him.  Some how he or I lost it at the Salt Lake airport on our way home to Texas.  It was a rough few nights before we purchased not one but two replacement zebra babies.  So far so good.

My Grey
