Happy 3rd Birthday Grayson!

Grayson had his 3rd birthday on Saturday and although he was feeling sick with a cold he still had a great day. At his 3 year check up the doctor said he is tall and smart, which we already knew but its nice to hear it from someone without bias.

Fun Facts about Grayson

  • He loves wearing his pajamas! Its hard to get him to put normal clothes on even when there is a superhero printed on it.
  • He recognizes all the letters in the alphabet and numbers 1-9 and can count to 20.
  • Most favorite thing of all time SUPERHEROES, he is usually Batman but is open to being all other superheroes.  He also like everyone else around him to be a superhero so daddy is usually Superman, mommy is Hawkgirl and Ronin is Aquaman or Green Lantern and Grandma Becky has taken the role of Wonder Women.
  • He loves gymnastics and playdates with his friend Izzy.
  • His is a complete clone of his father is soooo many ways, they are good buddies!

I cant believe how fast the last 3 years have gone bye; its incredible watching my little baby grow up to be such an amazing little boy.  We love you so much Grayson!!

Pictures

Just wanted to post some new pictures of our little guys. We are enjoying having two boys and looking foreword to seeing Ronin in action when he is a little older.  Its a million degrees here and we are stuck inside a lot so Graysons imagination has kicked into high gear and there is a constant flow of bad guys that need to be stopped in our house.  Hope you enjoy the pics!!

Ronin Smiles!

We captured Ronins first real smiles on Tuesday, such a handsome boy!  Those little smiles make all the sleepless nights and dirty diapers worth it!

Baby Ronin!!

On May 28th at 7:58 a.m. our little baby Ronin was born.  After a perfect pregnancy we had a perfect scheduled c-section and out came our perfect baby boy. Ronin was 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 1/4 inches long. He is the sweetest little guy, sleeps beautifully when his tummy isnt bothering him and is very alert and happy when he is awake. We adore him and are so happy that he is ours!!

Disneyland!!

these two posts have been sitting in my drafts for months

About a month ago we meet Grandma Kerry, Grandpa Dirk and Great Grandma Lola in CA for a Disneyland Adventure… Needless to say, Grayson is still talking about it!  We had a wonderful time and it was a very memorable experience for Gray.   We had so many pictures from Disneyland that it has taken me awhile to go through them and I picked some of my favorites to post.

 

And the fun begins!!

Newport Beach!

these two posts have been sitting in my drafts for months

While we were in CA we had to go to the beach even though it was a bit cold.  The beach actually runs a very close second to Disneyland for Gray.

What you dont see is Grandpa running way from Gray because he is trying to throw the seaweed at him.

The Three of Us

We randomly got some good snap shots of the three of us a couple of weeks ago and since we will be adding one to our family in 5 weeks I though I would post these pictures.

We took these at a free Gin Blossoms benefit concert.  It was awesome, I have been a fan of this band since the early 90s and it turns out they are Tempe, Arizona natives.  This concert was to raise money for the NICU at Shea hospital where we will be having the baby.  They did a 1 hour acoustic set at an upscale, out-door shopping center, just minutes from our house.  It was great! Only a few hundred people attended, so it was pretty intimate, we had a great time!!

Easter Egg Hunt

We took Gray to an egg hunt yesterday, he had so much fun and we enjoyed living vicariously through him. He also meet the Easter Bunny and gave him a giant hug, so stinking cute!  And he got a tour of a fire truck that he would have appreciated more had he not been so interested in getting back to his eggs.

Waiting for the hunt to begin, there wasnt much hunting though it was more like a race to pick up as many eggs as possible.
