Happy Birthday Nana!

After a very LONG week of school, we loaded up the car and headed for WF to celebrate Mom's birthday weekend! It was so nice and relaxing!

 Grey got in some quality swim time...

Everyone got all geared up for the first Longhorn game of the season! Fun fact: we later found out that Elizabeth had contracted the lovely hand, foot, and mouth disease and this is more than likely the contagion point for Grey!!!!! Dang it they just love each other!

 Grey loves to help with the presents! We also discovered that he was a pretty big fan of Nana's birthday chocolate pie:)

 The next morning Dad (aka Gramps) made everyone his famous biscuits and gravy. Yum!  It was such a nice time!  Happy Birthday Mom! We love you so much!

Futbol!

It's been a big month of firsts for our guy!  This week we added soccer to the list! I'm not sure you would classify it as soccer exactly, maybe just running and kicking? Ha!

We got him all geared up and took him to his first practice with the Killer Bees!!  BUZZZZZZ!
Thanks Aunt Lindsay for the last minute gear advice! Jared and I may have been confused about the soccer socks situation! Haha!

Coach Jones is so great with them! He makes everything so fun, and is so encouraging.

The First Day of School

Greyson has his very first day of school this year!  He started Pre-K at McAuliffe Elementary in Highland Village, and we could not be happier! Before the big day, he was a little bit nervous, so we decided to make a big deal about how exciting it all was. (This also gave me something to do to help me stop crying about it! Gah! I am a crazy person!)

Sunday morning before the big day, we had some surprises for him! We had "special breakfast," as Grey called it, in the dining room.

 Daddy has some coloring skills! He definitely inherited that from GG.

 Then it was time for the good stuff!

 He was a little excited...

 This kid loves some SpiderMan!

Later that night we got his calendar all set so he could see what all was coming up this month.  He loves it! Thanks Nana!

The next morning it was time for the big day!!  (I managed to keep it together even through this ADORABLE photo!) I was so thankful that his first day of school was actually my first day of inservice, so it was okay for me to be late and look a little insane...

When we got to the drop off, everything was going fine, until it was time for Jared and I to leave. He kind of lost his little mind! Poor baby! But, one of his amazing teachers picked him up and carried him off to distract him so that we could leave.  This is when I basically sobbed on my way to school. But, never fear, when I picked him up he was SO HAPPY!!  He couldn't wait to go back the next day! Woohoo school! 

Elizabeth's First 'Do!

Elizabeth was starting to get a bit of a mullet, so we paid a much needed visit to Kara. Thank the Lord for Kara! 

 Elizabeth was really excited at first, and Grey was very intrigued by all of this.

 Then she got a little concerned...BUT she did so well!

 Finished product! Such a sweet little bob!

Daddy's Birthday!

We love you!

Our Little Fish

Grey spent the last two weeks in swimming lessons at WinKids again this year.  He's a big kid now, so he doesn't have Mom or Dad with him in the pool.  He LOVED it, but he was a bit afraid of floating.  Floating on his back turned out to be his arch nemesis, but he conquered it, and was doing so great by the end of the 2 weeks!  Way to go Grey!

She had to stand up every single day to watch her big bro and the other kids swim. She was also a huge fan of throwing all of her stuff out of the stroller so that I could pick it up for her 47, 000 times...:)

Elizabeth is 1 and Greyson is 4!!

Happy Birthday Month!!! When the calendar rolls around to July in our house that means it's time for BIRTHDAYS! Much to Greyson's dismay (we're still working on understanding this whole calendar business), Elizabeth is the first one up for celebration.

Note:  Hang in there folks, this post is set up in 3 parts. Instead of separating the events I just put it all together...as in life this birthday business is one LONG, FUN month!
