Let's try this again...

I've been the worst blogger - EVER!!

It's been a crazy first half of the year, and yet, nothing major has happened... I guess Life happened, I realized the other day that I'm forgetting more than I'm remembering about the day to day little stuff that Greyson is doing, so I'm going to make an effort to blog more, I love being able to look through my archives and remember...

So Heather, what have you guys been up to? So glad you asked!! Let's see... We've gone to Disney... A lot!

Greyson has continued to be the funniest child ever, full of personality and spunk! He's been in Discovery Kids, t-ball, swim lessons, and gymnastics (some times I just feel like his driver!). He loves the ocean and his Nintendo DSi.

He's perfected his pout!!

We have a new puppy! Meet Hurley, our German Short haired puppy. Greyson loves him and he really is pretty cute (once he got over the crying all night thing....) He now loves to spend his time playing, having his belly rubbed, chewing on anything in sight and playing some more!

We also took a fun trip home to Michigan, where Greyson got to visit and play in (brrrr!!!) Lake Michigan for the first time!!

There is so much more that we've done, places we've gone, trips taken, sights seen, people met, but for now, I just hope to start being a better blogger, a better story keeper, memory store-er...

Be back soon!!!

This one is for you Shannon!!

After an e-mail from my cousin Shannon, reminding me that I have not updated this blog in FAR TOO LONG!! I thought I'd come by and say hello, and as an "I'm sorry, I've owed you an e-mail for like the last 3 months..." I'm putting up all the pictures I have from our cousin Sarah's graduation party this past weekend! Sorry I didn't get more pictures Shannon! I miss you and love you and promise to be a better blogger!! I have so many pictures from Greyson and I's trip to Michigan so check back soon!!

One of the best family photo's ever if I do say so myself!! ha ha ha!

More T-ball...

Getting ready to bat...

Coach helping him get all set up...
SWING!!

and the ball went flying!!

and he ran... and we laughed, his little "sneaky" run was hilarious!

run little man!!

RUN!

The first base coach calling him in... run run run!!

it's going to be close....

SAFE! (because every hit is a base hit in T-ball!!) :)

More Pictures to come soon... I literally took over 200 opening day!!

All Star

Opening Day for T-ball was this past Saturday the 6th... Greyson woke up super early shouting as he ran through the house, "it's T-ball game day, it's T-ball game day, we have to get up!!" He was about 3 hours early... Clad in his new baseball pants/socks/belt and undershirt we made our way to the baseball fields to pick up his hat and jersey (I even got a matching shirt, gotta show that support!!). The look is beyond cute, and while I know T-ball (and all other sports) are about more that the super cute outfit... It's hard to remember that with this one, it's so ridiculously cute I giggle every time I see him...

The day was a blast and I have tons (and I mean tons) of pictures to share, so I'll do my best to add them soon! For now, enjoy these few of him before the game started... He has his 2nd game of the season tonight!!

Our little All-Star (he's on the Minnesota Twins team!)

So, it turns out... My kid LOVES to run...

So we run... he's up to 1.5 miles!

and we stretch...

and we give silly thumbs up signs...

but mostly we're just happy, and proud... of ourselves, and of each other...

I'm so glad you are my running partner buddy... I could never find anyone better!! I look forward to all of our runs, prepping for races, putting together the perfect play lists for our I-pods, finding the best shoes, the best trails, the best recovery drinks... I hope with all my heart that we'll continue to run, that you won't out-grow me, though I'm sure at some point you'll be much faster... I love you so much little man... You're the reason I get up and run, and now it's so much more fun with you by my side...

Mickey Mouse!

We had another fabulous trip to Disney last week. I think out of all the times we've gone, last week turned out the best. The weather was beyond perfect, the kind where you start the day out with a light jacket (65ish) and the temp climbs up to just 75-77 and perfectly sunny.... Yeah, it was awesome. We stayed down there for 3 nights in a beautiful resort that we will most definitely be staying at again, the crowds were super thin, no real wait times on anything... just all in all the perfect trip!! I have loads of pictures so I'll share a few now and a few later. We did manage to come home and get sick, so while I'm fighting a cold, poor little man is fighting strep throat (yet again... sigh....). Hope everyone is doing fantastic!!

Love,
Heather

Race Weekend...

This weekend I ran in my first 5K of the year... We had great weather and a ton of fun! Running has definitely become a passion for me, it's just something I have (and want) to do now rather than something I dread... I think I may be rubbing off on Greyson a bit too. After cheering for Mommy on Saturday he decided he wanted to race on Sunday. I decided to take him out and see if he could run a mile, never in a million years thinking he would finish it. Well, not only did he finish it, he ran the entire thing and came in at 17.15 which is pretty awesome for 4 year old legs!! I hope he continues to love it, because I have wonderful visions of us running races together as he gets older... Fun fun fun!! Here are a few pictures!!

My #1 Fan!!

Greyson and Daddy with the "Go Mommy Go" sign!
