6.9.06 - Zoo Trip

Today we went to the Zoo with Mark, Ethan and Carlie. Mom had a great time getting to catch up with her friend April and the kiddos had a great time playing together, and enjoying the animals. We really enjoy having our membership to the Zoo. It has been a great investment. I belive Grant has been more in the last year than I went during my entire childhood. I love this photo, Grant really loves the elephants.

6.6.06 - First Swimming Lesson

Today was Grant's first swimming lesson of this summer. He did great! I can't believe how much he retained from last year and how much more confident he is this year. Hopefully he will keep up the good work and be swimming before too long.

6.3.06 - Spaghetti Warehouse

We had dinner tonight at the Spaghetti Warehouse for my birthday. Grant noticed the train go by when we were entering and so we walked over the bridge, bought tickets and rode the train all the way to the end and back.

6.2.06 - Friday (My Birthday)

We had a great day today Grant and I met Gigi and Megan for lunch at Pei Wei. It was great as usual, then Grant and I went over to the mall and took photos at Picture People (they weren't that great) but we ended up with a couple of good shots. Next we went to Toys-R-Us and Grant had a blast looking at (and wanting) all of the toys, as we were leaving I snapped this shot of him and Sparky (Yes it is Snoopy) Grant is in the phase where he wants to name things...all cats should be Pepper (like Nana & Paw Paw's) and all dogs should be Sparky (because of the dog from the Little People) He has even tries to get Zeke to respond (he is old and set in his ways). Anyway, it turned out to be a cute photo. We ended the day with a stop by Nana Beauty Shop. He was pooped when we got home and fell asleep on the couch. What an exciting day!

5.27.06 - Boating Talk...

Ok, while we were out on the water we were looking at the houses, and there are two comments that I would love to make
1) we rarely see people out enjoying their million dollar (at least) views.

2) What do these people do for a living! I would REALLY like to know so that I could look into doing that. Anyway here is one of the homes that I am referring to...

5.17.06 - Boating Again

We went boating again this weekend. It was alot of fun again but later during the day the trim went out on the boat and we were all worried whether we would have problems getting the boat out of the water without damaging it. We ended up not have problems, and luckily we used the boat ramps in David's Uncle and Aunts neighborhood we were able to creep down to their house where his uncle helped us disconnect the hydraulic line and were able to pull the boat home.

5.14.06 - Mother's Day

David took a couple of photos of Grant & I this morning before church. They were both so sweet. They went to James Avery and picked out two new charms for my Mother's Day Present. Everyone came over to our house for lunch after church and we had a nice time. (Sorry I have a few out of order)

5.7.06 - Sunday

Before Church we stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and let Grant play for a few minutes. I bet his Sunday School teacher appreciates us!

5.20.06 - Boating

We went boating with the Moore's today. We all had a blast! The kids were so excited and had such a wonderful time. We took a picnic lunch and snacks and rode around all day.

5.19.06 - Anniversary

Today is David & My 5th wedding anniversary. Laura called and told us that she was keeping Grant and Mason (they had a slumber party). David and I went to the movies to see RV it was a really cute movie and we really enjoyed it. David left a beautiful new willow tree people statue beside the coffee pot so that I would find it when I woke up on Friday morning. (He is such a sweetie).

5.13.06 - Emma's Birthday

We went to Emma H's Birthday Party today it was at Shauna's parents house and Rachel and her girls were there, they all went swimming in their pool it was so much fun.

5.12.06 - 3 Year Checkup

Still kinda have a rebound headache (YUCK)! We wore big boy pants today and before we made it to the Dr's office he had wet all of his clothes including his shoes...the day was off to a wonderful start.

Dr. Hammond is still out on maternity leave (try to explain that to a 3yo) Grant was extremely upset that she was not there to see him. Se is really the only Dr. that he has ever seen. Dr. Law filled in for her and she was wonderful also! She came in and talked to Grant before she started to examine him. Grant told her all about the fish in the waiting room tank. When David arrived at home he told him all about Dr. Law (I guess he likes her).

My best friend Rachel is working with her and She noticed and asked him about his watch. She wanted to know if he could tell her the time. Grant replied "well it is not dark outside" as if time really dosen't matter unless it is dark outside.

5.11.06 - MIGRANE

I ended up leaving early from work I started getting a migrane headach while we were eating lunch. We had intended to go to Laura's (Ma's) Birthday Party after work. Nana & Papa went to the party with Grant and later David and I went out there to pick him up. It was 7pm before I started feeling ok.

5.10.06 - Church

We went to church tonight and when we were leaving Diane Meyer told Grant see you later alligator and her turned to her with a disgusted look on his face and his hands on his hips and said "I am not an alligator, I am a boy!" We all cracked up laughing, it was pretty darn cute.

5.9.06 - Kayla's Graduation

We went to Kayla's (Grant's friend from across the street) pre-school graduation. It was too cute and afterwards we had dinner from Gringo's at their house.
