WALT DISNEY WORLD

Here it is two months after our Disney World trip, but at least these pictures are getting up. Thanks to Oma and Aunt Jordan for watching Grayer. I don't think he would have been able to keep up.

*PICTURE OVERLOAD*

There are a ton of pictures. Our parents will probably be the only ones who look through all of these. I am laughing to myself right now!

First Day...Best Friends!

Breakfast at the Tusker House. It is a must with kids.

I figure by the time we get to go again he probably wont want his picture take with all the characters. It's going too fast.

We were able to celebrate AZ's Birthday...again.

My two gorillas.

We wore this little one out. Poor thing.

We gave Dade the camera while we were waiting in line for the Toy Story Ride. Here are a few of his best.

The face Mom got when I took the camera back.

We stayed at The Cabins again...favorite.

Pretty Frightening.

Dade's Picture.

Too Cute!!

Princess Storybook Dinner.

Some how Dain is always the guy that gets pulled in from the crowd.

I guess Dade is going to follow in Daddy's foot prints.

AZ too.

Okay, a little random. Dain loves me so much that he took this picture for me. I couldn't stop commenting on how gorgeous these blossoms were.

Family Dinner at the Drive-In.

Splash Mountain - Dade's Favorite.

Maybe mine too.

The reason we get to go...my amazing husband. Circle of Excellence winner two years in a row.

AZ started her purse phase right here on this very spot.

We went to the Aloha Dinner Show.

The kids learned a little hula. Mom took pictures and smiled.

We love this place.

Can you tell?

HERE YA GO DADE

These pictures go clear back to Valentine's Day...I'm so embarrassed. Here he is at his Valentine's Day Party at Pre-K.

They were supposed to wear pink, we of course don't have any pink shirts ("It's a girl color".) So this is what we came up with.

At the BYU vs. TCU Basketball game with cousin Asher. I love how intent they both look.

This was a trip to downtown Grapevine with cousins Charlie and Lulu. Trains are always a big hit.

I know this picture looks like it is of Grayer, but the thing I love about this picture is that Dade is so used to having Gray around that he doesn't even notice that Grayer is trying to steal his orange julius.

Western Day at school.

My Little Blue Eyes.

Another soccer season complete. He loves it.

It's always fun around here with the wonderful guy.

AZ - 3 & UP

Okay, I figure the only way I'm going to get caught up it to dedicate a blog entry to each of the kids. This one will highlight all of AZ's happenings for the past couple of months.

I know this picture is of both AZ and Dade, but seriously how cute is her face? She was so excited to head out into the snow.

This picture is to show all of you how girly she can be. This year for her birthday I asked her what she wanted for her birthday party. The only answer I could get out of her was "PINK". Then one day we were at Old Navy and she saw this tablecloth and she wouldn't put it down. She even carried it around the Dollar Store a few days later to match all the plates and utensils.

Since "Pink" wasn't a lot to go on, Mom decided to make her party a Pajama Party on Saturday morning. It was a hit. I want to have all the rest of my kids parties while I get to stay in my pj's.

"The Middles" getting ready to chow down on breakfast foods.

My Little Pony Love. She loves this toy. Thanks Aunt Jordan.

*Side note*

The day before AZ and Dade were playing outside on the slide and I hear screaming. When I finally get a look at it I am sure she has pushed her teeth through her lips, since it is bleeding on the inside and out. Nope, just barely escaped.

Every time I head up stairs to get Grayer from a nap I come across this on my way back downstairs. She still fits.

Okay, now this picture made the blog because her face is hilarious.

Cute as a bug in a...box?

She actually fits.

Smile Baby Girl.

Can you tell what this picture is about? Look closely.

Here's a hint...

"I don't suck my thumb anymore!!!!!". After trying band-aids, medicine, Tabasco, we finally ended up trying this. It worked. One day she will hate me for putting this picture up for all to see, but she did it!!!!

GRAYER'S 9 MONTHS AND I'M LATE GETTING THIS OUT

Let me just start by saying...it has been WAY, WAY TOO LONG.

I have no real excuse. Life has just been running along and I am just trying to stay with the pack. Now, I'll admit I am at the back of the pack, but hopefully I will be able to get caught up.

The following pictures are a few to give you an idea how cute our little Gray is.

Big Boy sitting up at 7 months.

I had these pictures on a separate camera and should have put them up months ago.

A little brotherly love.

OK, now the next several pictures are of Grayer as he was rolling around on the floor. He kept rolling into the wall and the more I giggled the better the pictures got. There are a lot of pictures.

I have a picture of all three of my kids with a puff stuck on their chins.

More brotherly love.

This picture is more for me then for any of you. This is a REMEMBER PICTURE. When Grayer gets tired and starts to fall asleep, he sucks his thumb and rubs his face...just like this.

And this.

A day at the park with Aunt Susan and cousins Charlie and Lulu.

I will post more pictures soon. I still have ones from AZ's birthday, Disney World, Cousins visits, etc. I will try to be better about keeping up with the pack.

CUTENESS HAPPENING ALL AROUND

Everyday is filled new adventures around here. The kids are growing up so fast. I thought the older kids would...I can't think of a better way to say this...get tired of Grayer, but I was so wrong. Every time I turn around one of them is "loving" Gray. Here is Dade reading him a book.

AZ and a friend playing dress up...her first official dress up adventure.

I love that she is so totally decked out but yet she is holding a dragon in her hands.

Later that night I walked in to find this...

Yes, pjammies, shoes, and tutu shirt.

Growing like a weed.

Amazing what being healthy for a few weeks can do for you.

Az loving brother. She can't get enough.

Dain said that he was making Grayer a bottle and he started crying. When Dain came in AZ had already put a Baby Einstein in and had put several toys all around him. She then asked if she could feed Grayer his bottle. LOVE.

The weather can't seem to make up it's mind around here. One day it will be nearly 80 and the next it is snowing...like today for example.

Grayer loves to sport his new hat.

I just want to kiss those cute little checks.
