The things they say...

Yesterday, Greyson and I were eating at Moe's (his most favorite restaurant of all) and I was telling him that in a few weeks we were heading back to Disney, to which he replied, "Are you kidding me?!" It totally cracked me up. When those majorly 'adult' phrases come out of my little sweet babe who just a few short months ago was hardly stringing 2 words together, it just amazes me. It's amazing to be able to sit in a restaurant or in the car or anywhere, and have full blown conversations with my son, it's... well, it's fantastic!

Friday's Fashion Feature

(and we're back...)

Just one picture of today's fashion (more from this session to come though...) Greyson and I have had a busy week and are super glad the weekend is here!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Greyson is wearing:

2 piece outfit by B.E. Kids from Belk's Department Store

(it's one of his new outfits and we LOVE it!)

*** A special announcement!!***

Greyson is very happy to announce that the baby has finally come out of Aunt Rachel's bellybutton!! Little Ariel was welcomed to the world this morning at 10:24 a.m., weighing in at a perfect 7lbs 13oz, 19.5 inches long and enough hair to already wear bows and barrettes (her daddy's says)!! We love you all and can't wait to see her (yeah, that's right, you no longer matter - just her!!) Lots and lots and lots of love and kisses!!

Gone Fishin’

A couple of weeks ago, we were in Wal-Mart (better known as my least favorite place in the world), as we cruised down the isles (which for me is as quickly as possible with a look of sheer determination intended to ward off random people who think it’s just peachy keen to stop and chat me up at Wal-Mart and touch my kid and offer unsolicited advice, ugh!! It’s Wal-Mart people, not a ‘get-to-know-you party’!!) Greyson happened to spy fishing poles in the sporting goods department. “Mommy, Mommy Looky – fishin’ poles! Fishin’ POLES!!” I quickly veered to the right (on 2 wheels mind you) and came to stop in front of the beloved fishing poles. His eyes began to sparkle as we surveyed the many different styles and finally settled on a Disney Cars (the movie) pole, “Mommy” he exclaimed, “A Mater (character from the movie) fishin’ pole, pleeeeeeaaaaasssssseeeee?” Seriously, how could I say no? The kid has been pretend fishing with his Daddy’s belt for months off the edge of the bed. So the pole went into the cart and we were off.

This week we were finally able to give the fishing pole a proper trip to a place where real fish swim!! Not that our living room floor and neighbors pool have not been exciting, but we were going out on a real dock in a real river!! WOO HOO!!

Of course he couldn’t really catch anything because his one and only lure has no hooks (a big thanks to our wonderful neighbor Jim!!) but luckily the kid who could use his imagination to fish with a belt can use his imagination to catch us many a fish (trout, salmon and even a shark or two!!).

Enjoy the pictures of our little Greyson – Gone Fishin’

Um... yeah.

Once again time (and weeks) have slipped by me!

So please forgive my lack of updates and interesting posts (and this non-post post too!). We are all doing very well, we've just been experiencing the busy days of summer.

I promise to get my act in gear and post on a more regular basis soon (you know sometime this year...)

Much Love,
Greyson and Heather

Sun Splash!!

Water fountains + Greyson = FUN!

We went to a local (well sorta local) park today that I've been meaning to check out for oh... a year or so. Greyson had a lot of fun, there were a ton of kids (and I mean a ton) so the mommy in me was a little nervous that the older kids were going to plow Greyson over, but he didn't seem to mind as he crouched by his bubbling water spray and laughed and squealed and got himself drenched. We'll definitely be checking this place out again soon (like in September when the kids go back to school but it's still like 172 degrees outside!).

Here are a few snap shots of the little guy in his soggy wet glory!

Art...

Greyson loves to have any type of writing utensil in his hand and paper to scribble upon. Up until recently his art work consisted of lots of scribbles and his love of coloring (well, scribbling) over faces in coloring books. The past few weeks though he's shown interest in shapes and attempting to draw them. He knows by sight: circle, square, diamond, rectangle, triangle, heart, star and oval. After weeks and weeks of showing him how to draw happy faces yesterday he drew his first very recognizable face! I was so excited and even more thrilled that I was able to get a picture of it before he erased it!



Enjoy the first works of our budding little artist!

("Daddy", by Greyson Lee)

(here he is with his masterpiece, refusing to smile at me and the camera!! Typical artist, once they have fans adoring their work they get all snooty!)

Friday's Fashion Feature (The GRUMPY edition)

Sorry we are a couple days late! It's been a busy weekend of just laying around doing nothing!

As you can tell from the pictures, Greyson was in NO mood to have his pictures taken on Friday. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
