A Weekend with the Girls

This past weekend my friends Tammy, Dione, and I took a MUCH needed getaway to Kansas City. We stayed with my awesome sister Monica, and had a blast!! Here are a few pics from Christmas in the city...







We left Monica's at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning, and arrived back at her house at exactly 10:00 p.m. We would have stayed out later, but the restaurants were beginning to close! Normal people would have been worried about the stores closing, but not us, we went for the food:)


Monica and me




Our first food stop, Bucca di Beppos (sp?) on the plaza





2nd stop, The Cheesecake Factory, still on the plaza







3rd stop, Abuelos at Zona Rosa
(Yes people, all in the same day, hence the same clothing!!)






We left early Sunday morning and brought back my precious niece Emma. Her and Tammy complained the ENTIRE trip home about being cold:)

Anyway, that was my weekend. I know you are all surprised not to see pics of Grant but don't worry they are coming soon with more videos. He is walking everywhere now!!!!!!

3 Words... Walking, Cucumber, Black-Eye








What do these 3 words mean, well let me explain. I came home today on my break because I had forgotten some papers. When I walked in I was greeted by a tough looking little boy that just so happened to be my son. His right eye had a bad scratch on it that was all puffed up, and from a distant looked like a black eye. It is a long story, let me shorten it by saying we might have to fire the help!:) Sorry Grammy. Anyway, so "the help" gave him a fat juicy cucumber to try to make amends. Then to prove that you can't keep a good man down he decided to continually walk around the living room, with cucumber, black eye and all!!






I hope you enjoy the pics and videos:)

Walking with Lionel

Random...
Finally a recent picture of my precious nephew Michael:) I think I love this hat a little too much, because I make him wear it even with shorts.


I thought I would post him walking with Lionel and show you how speedy he can be. Also you can see at the very end how he is taking steps and thinking more and more about walking:) EEK!

"Happy Halloween," said the sock monkey to the cow.

Here is Grant and Addison sitting so sweetly... Here Addison is wanting to kiss Grant, but he just didn't feel like kissing right now...


My sweet sock monkey...

Today Grant is 9 months and I can't believe it!!!! He is starting to say the m sounds, so he crawls around saying "mom,mom,mom,mom,mom" which I love. He prays before he eats, sometimes screaming for his food while his hands are clasped:) He stands up without holding onto anything, and has taken 3 steps, but is by no means walking (thank goodness)!!! We found out while we were in Texas last week that he is very loud. He just gets so excited and has a high pitch squeal that really only dogs should be able to hear! But he still is a GREAT baby!! We love and enjoy every moment we are blessed to spend with him!!



This is why my paper is wrinkled...




I think you might be able to actually see his teeth in this pic...




Ok this picture I just wanted to know if you can tell how big his thighs are!! Every time we put pants on him, it takes a few trys to pull them over these babies:)




And here are just a couple of pics from this morning of him playing...













Thank you Doodaa and Pops for his adoption and Halloween prize!! We love you so much and miss you more:)
