latest happenings

Well summer time is busy as always. We are in the pool(a lot!), Grayson goes to a summer camp at the Methodist church 2 days a week, we went on a mini vacation & we love getting to spend lots of time with our friends and family. Both boys are really loving the pool and Grayson has really become quite the fish!! He will do anything with his lifejacket on and is getting more brave everyday with it off. He is still taking swimming lessons and he really likes and trusts the girl that comes so that has helped him tremendously. We went to Fort Worth last week and stayed a couple of days. We did the zoo and went to a Rangers baseball game. Once it got going(about the 5th inning) Grayson really liked it but getting to that point was a little rough:) Grayson is so grown up - he loves to help with Gibson and mostly loves getting on to him when he gets into stuff he's not supposed to be:) He also loves to pick him up but he ususally gets hollered at by Gibson who is not such a fan of that! Gibson is almost 10 months old!!!! WHAT?!?! I know - it's crazy! I have already started planning his 1st birthday:( He was right on track with growth at his 9 mo check, and has hit all his milestones and then some. His favorite thing to do is play with the cords behind the chair and table in our living room. He can also get the outlet covers out of the outlets!! So we really have to watch him with that. He is at the stage where he is into everything! Still just has 2 teeth but he wants to eat table food!! He has basically decided he is done with baby food:) He is still very much a momma's boy but Mimi is a close 2nd. He has just recently started dancing - it's pretty cute. The were both in a minor car accident with the babysitter on the way home from the sno-cone stand. Grayson's version is pretty comical but he ends with "it was freakin' me out"! Everybody was fine, I think Chelsea(babysitter) was a lot more upset than the boys. Well I will leave you with pictures, as usual, it is sooooo hard to get both boys looking at the same time!!

SummerTime!!

Oh boy - summer is here! It is so nice to have slowed down some since Grayson is out of school. I can't imagine what it's gonna be like next year when he is in Pre-K ALL day, EVERY day with homework and everything!! Whew! Gibson is almost not a baby anymore:( He is crawling everywhere!!! He has 2 teeth(which I thought were never going to come in), waves bye, claps, pulls up on all the furniture, and says momma, bubba, and occasionally poppa!! He LOVES bathtime, he gets so excited when you take him to the bathroom and start and the water. He is mostly sleeping all night - he's about 50/50 - which honestly is so much than Grayson was at this age that I think it's spectacular!! LOL

Grayson is playing T-Ball and loves it! He does great at batting and lacks a little bit of attention while playing the field - he usually plays catcher and sometimes he lays down in the dirt:) He graduated from his preschool and will be going to Will Rogers to Pre-K next year. His teacher will be Mrs. Loafman, he has already met her a few times so he is ok with moving up! Grayson is doing much better with sleeping in his own bed - he pretty much sleeps all night in his own bed consistently - just a few slips here and there.

We have an inground pool at our new house so we are really enjoying that. A girl is coming over to give Grayson swim lessons, she started today and that didn't go so well. He is deathly terrified of the sinking! There isn't much shallow end, it pretty much starts getting deeper immediately so I think that scares him:( Hopefully that gets better - if not it's gonna be a long summer!!

Casey is still liking his job and although I miss my house in Norman terribly we still believe (more and more every day) that we made the right decision in moving back. It is so nice to be close friends and to Mimi and Poppa and Casey's brother and his family. Grayson loves spending time with his cousins. So that's it for us for now - no big summer plans but I'm sure we will stay busy!!
