Greys Prayers:

Last night Greys Prayer went like this:

"Dear God, Thank you for Shaelin, Alaina, Mimi, Tacey, Gramma Dee, Grampa Mark, and Marky. Amen"

No thanks for Momma or Daddy. Guess we didn't make the top list. But, at least he says his prayers!

Tonights prayer went like this:
"Dear God, Thank you for my show. Amen".

Apparently Greys favorite show is Loony Tunes right now and it was on before dinner and Grey wanted to make sure he thanked God for it!! How funny how a little boys mind works!!

Grey had a busy weekend this weekend. Grey got to go to a fun birthday party for his friend Spencer at Planet Pizza. This was a really cool place for the kids. It has games to play like Chuck E Cheese, but it also has a super cool climbing thing (like at indoor McDonalds) and rides for the kids. He had a blast!

Then Grey's cousins came down and are spending the week with Gramma Dee for their Spring Break. Grey got to spend a lot of time with them over the weekend and will spend several days with them during the week. He loves his cousins so much and they are so good with him. It will be a great week for them all!

Not much new to post, but I was getting tired of the Dora Valentine. Note to self: Don't wait until Feb 13 to buy valentines! Grey is doing pretty well. He is complaining about his mouth hurting, so I think he is finally starting to get his 2 yr molars. We've had the typical behavior that goes along with teething as well, so it's been a rough week around here. He is still very active, but is not eating well, not sleeping well, and is grouchy. I think that is pretty much typical behavior, but it still doesn't make it fun!

Happy Valentines Day!! Love ~ Grey

Here are some pictures of our snow. Grey thought it was "cold" and wasn't too excited about playing in it. I think he takes after his mommy and her feelings about cold weather!

No new pictures today, but I have some memories I want to get down just as keepsakes.

Grey is seriously into Superman. He has a cape he runs around wearing, and when he runs, he always puts one arm out like Superman does when he flies. This weekend we watched Superman II and Grey has been acting out the movie. He gets one of his Superman action figures and makes him throw a car, and then catch it. He yells "Help Superman" and Grey thows the car and has Superman "catch" it. It's very cute. And really fun to watch his little mind work out the movie.

Another thing about Grey is his very active imagination. We go on elephant hunts, and tigers follow us around. Lately, he's had a dinosaur that follows us. The other night, Grey was in bed and started calling for me. I came in and he said "Dinosaur did it". I asked what the dinosaur did and he said "Dinosaur spanked my bottom". I have no idea what was going on in his mind, but I had to tell the dinosaur that it was Greys bedtime and Grey could not play, and could the dinosaur come back tomorrow for playtime. Very interesting stalling technique!

Grey is learning different ways to get around - run, march, that type of thing. His new favorite is to "boing". He wants to "boing" to bed, or to the potty chair, or to the table, or whatever. He hops up and down and says "boing". Another favorite is to roll. So, sometimes when it's time for bed he wants to roll to bed. That is a favorite, I think, because it takes longer to get to bed. He's a smart cookie!

Anyway, these are just a few of the new things Grey is doing to keep us entertained. He never fails to amaze us!

Long Time, No Blog

It's been a hectic month! Christmas has come and gone and we are finally getting back to normal. It has been a great Holiday Season this year and we've had so many highlights. First we went to Grapevine and did the North Pole Express. We had a blast and I would definitely recommend it. We did not realize it was so popular and we almost didn't get seats until the ticket lady saw Grey and what a cutie he is, and she ended up giving us FREE tickets! That made it even more fun! The historic downtown part of Grapevine is really cool. It was all decorated up and just so much fun to browse around. I want to move there and live in one of those big, old houses and pretend to be in a small town! Next we had a special visit from Santa. Grey got to have cookies and milk with a few friends. He was so excited. Santa left him a "Stocking Mail" letter saying he would come see him, and requested Grey have some cookies and milk ready. Grey had a few friends over and Santa came in. Wow!! What a night for Grey. He was totally into Santa this year, and that just put him over the top. It was a blast and I hope Santa puts us on his list for next year! We had Christmas at home this year and it was wonderful. Very relaxing. We didn't kill ourselves with a meal and made cheese enchiladas instead. We looked at Christmas lights and just had a wonderful day. New Years was also spent very low key at home and into bed early. We're getting to that boring stage where sleep is more exciting than fun! But, we did have a sad event happen. Billys grandfather passed away Dec 29. We went to Kansas for the funeral and back in a whirlwind trip. Grampa Holman will be greatly missed. Now we are back to life as normal! I will try to do more updates more often now that we are slowing down. Here are a few pictures of our Holiday Season.
