Climbing

We knew it would happen.....Grey has learned to climb. It seems like he learned, or got the confidence, all in one weekend. It started when he climbed onto our bed. Very cute to see him just sitting on our bed. Then he climbed up onto the couch to snuggle with Matt and I. Also very cute. Then we came into the living room and saw him sitting on the coffee table.......NOT CUTE. This new skill makes Mamma very nervous. No pictures of climbing because we are not encouraging it.

Photos from our week!

Grey likes to help me unload groceries.





But then he is pretty sure they should all go into the trash.







Grey has some yogurt that goes in the freezer. Normally we take it with us places and it thaws out by the time he eats it. Well, I was getting ice and he saw some and he NEEDED to have it. I thought it might be fun since it was so hot to let him eat it like a Popsicle.



It was a success!

Rick and Lily!!!!

Rick and Lily came this weekend. Grey had lots of fun!





They came in on Thursday night. We just played and ate some dinner.

Rick and Lily brought Grey a little stuffed Elmo and an Elmo book. As Rick pulled it out of the bag Grey said "Oh wow"! :)



Grey had a playdate Thursday morning, then story time in the afternoon, playing with Rick and Lily, and chasing Doc. So, he forced everyone to watch some Yo Gabba Gabba with him to unwind from the day.







On Friday Matt had to go to work. We played and then Rick, Lily, Grey, and I went to Brent's. Brent's is a soda fountain place that the movie The Help was filmed in. (The book The Help played a big role in our weekend....Lily and I really liked the book). We had cokes and hamburgers.



Lily and I spent the afternoon shopping and then we cooked out for dinner.

Saturday we played in the morning. Rick taught grey how to drink from the hose. He really enjoyed that!






Rick and Lily knew about Grey's love of Yo Gabba Gabba, so they brought him another present. A Brobee pillow.





You can kind of see Brobee in this picture. Grey put him in a chair and they colored together.



On Saturday afternoon we did something a little out of the ordinary. We went on a "The Help" self guided driving tour of Jackson. You followed a map and it took you to different historical places in Jackson that they talk about in the book. It was really interesting. Even the boys liked it because we drove and read about places in Jackson we had never been before.





On Saturday night Rick and Lily stayed home with Grey so we could go out to a nice dinner. We were celebrating our anniversary. It is on Thursday, so it was very nice to not have to hire a babysitter or anything.



We sure had a great time! Thanks for coming to visit us :)

We go back to an open calendar after this weekend. July sure was fun though!

Devyn and Dallas

Grey and I headed to Dallas right after Gary and Alison left. We were going to see baby Devyn again!!

We got to Dallas a day before Lacy and Devyn. We were invited to a playdate at Zev's house.



My dad even came because he has a special place in his heart for Zevi!! He got to spend some time with Tahl too!





We decided to take a photo of the three boys.......big mistake :)







Grey had a great time playing with Zev's toys and copying his big boy moves!






Devyn and Lacy arrived and we got to spend a lot of time with them. Grey was really into Devyn. He wanted to touch her and was always asking about the baby.









Devyn got to meet her Great Grandma and her Great Poppy.





Devyn also got to meet a potential suitor (Tahl).






Grey got to visit with his Grandmommie.





Grey was also there to help Devyn with her first pool experience.









We had a GREAT time!

















Next on our agenda: Mimi and Granddaddy come for a visit!!! After they leave we turn into boring people again. No more big plans :)
