Good bye old friend...

Mayhem

April 10, 2000 - June 27, 2009

Loved so much, gone to soon, missed already.

We had to say goodbye to our Mayhem this morning, 9 years was not nearly enough time with him. We've lost too much in the last few months, I'm not sure how much more we can take.

Conversations…

Sometimes he’s the only one who really listens…

Mayhem had to go in to the Animal Hospital today, we’re still not exactly sure what is wrong with him, but they are running lots of tests. So far we know that he’s pretty dehydrated and they have started some IV’s on him, his blood work came back ok, (his potassium is low) and they’ve done X-rays that came back normal as well. So we’re hoping that with some fluids he’ll be back to his old (he’s 9 now) happy, hungry, crazy self.

PEEK!-

a-BOO!!

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!

Treats

We made Rice Krispie Treats (with sprinkles!). They were Yum-MY!!

• Greyson looked so cute in the apron.
• He had fun patting them into the pan, hands covered in greasy butter.
• He kept sneaking marshmallows before we got started, the treats ended up a little on the krispie side with not enough marshmallow.
• He loved stirring with the big wooden spoon.
• He ate way more than he should have.
• I need to remember to let him help cook more often.

Root. Root, Root for the home team...

(Jackie Robinson Ball Park - Daytona Beach, FL)

Last year we took Greyson to his first Baseball Game. The Daytona Cubs (the class A, minor league farm team for the Chicago Cubs) and the Jackie Robinson Ball Park make for a super fun family night. Friday night we went to our first game of this year, last year we were with Greg’s office in a pavilion out from first base, but this year we sat in the stands with the crazy fans just up from home plate in hopes of catching a foul ball, and while a few came close (one nearly taking the head off the old guy behind us) we came home empty handed. Greyson still had a fantastic time though, he seems to love the atmosphere at the park, watching the players, the fans, Cubby the mascot. He loves the way they holler out “Popcorn, Peanuts, Cold Beer!!” he loves to watch Cubby act silly and the score board numbers change, he loves it when a batter makes a hit and runs, and he loves to watch them slide!!

The only thing he didn’t seem to love was mommy’s camera as shown in the following pictures!!

Greyson in a hat = LOVE!!

Hello, I'm adorable.

Yup, truly adorable...

So, we have a new hat, and well, we really like it!

Amelia Island...

I really can't say enough about the Amelia Island Plantation Resort. What a great little trip, the resort itself was completely beautiful, the villa we stayed in was gorgeous and had every amenity of home that you could think of, the grounds were impeccable, the pools, the beach, the shops, spa, restaurants, all of it - Fantastic! Our little water bug (Greyson) wanted to do nothing but swim, swim, swim so I came home with the mom tan, shoulders and face only!! The only time I didn't spend in water was during the kiddie activities they did each day at the pool, which Greyson had a ton of fun participating in. He's come out of his shell so much lately, I'm quite sure he introduced him self to every single person at the beach club, watching him make little friends and play is so much fun, I couldn't be more proud of him. I failed to take many pictures this trip, so unfortunately I only have a few to share...

Waiting his turn for "Toddler Go Fish"

And last but not least, here is a video of him dancing like a mad man in the bathroom of an Applebee's where we stopped to eat on our way home. He's such a trip!!! Enjoy!
