Mother's Day/G's first baseball game

I'm a little late, but I wanted to post about my great Mother's Day! It actually started Saturday when Mike woke me up with cards and my favorite little person, Graydon. Mike informed me that I was going to get a two day Mother's Day celebration this year! We got up and went to breakfast at Le Peep and then he arranged for my parents to watch Graydon so we could go shopping all day! He gave me a gift card to the shops at La Cantera and then told me I had to spend it all by a certain time or he would give it away to a homeless person! Sounds easy right... well, I am actually the worlds WORST shopper! I have a hard time actually buying things, so needless to say, I did a good job, but still had a little money left when the time was up! With a little convincing I was able to get Mike to let me keep it for another day! I think the homeless thing was just a joke thank goodness! On Sunday we went to church as usual and then headed to Mike's parents house to celebrate with all the Mothers in our family. We had to cut it short though, because we were going to Graydon's first baseball game! The San Antonio Missions were playing the Corpus Christi Hooks. Mike used to work for the Hooks and the radio announcer was here in town and got us great seats! Mike was excited to get to visit with Matt in the Press box for a while. I know Mike is happy with his work/life now, but I also know how much he misses baseball. I think it was a much needed walk down memory lane for him to be up there again. Graydon had a great time and although it was super hot and he was cranky he was actually really good. After the game we headed to my parents house to spend some time with my mom for Mother's day! It was a long, exhausting, fun filled day and I wouldn't have wanted to spend my Mother's day any other way! Here are a few pictures from the day.

So thankful...

So I've been trying to get on here a few times a week to check out friends blogs etc. The other day a friends blog led me to a great blogger's site, Kelly's Korner. It is so fun to read about her baby Harper and their story. I also love Kelly's blog because she always has prayer requests on her site. Yesterday while perusing her site I came upon the blog for Kayleigh Freeman! This poor little girl was born at only 1 lb and has been in the hospital for about 10 months I think it said! She has struggled immensly her entire short life so far, has had at least three surgeries, one being open heart surgery and just recently the family has gotten bad news. Something happened to her after her last surgery and she isn't responding well. I just wanted to let ya'll know about this so you could send some prayers their way! The site for Kayleigh is http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com Please read their story and say some prayers for Kayleigh and her family! It breaks my heart that anyone has to go through something like this, and makes me so thankful that Graydon is healthy! We don't realize sometimes that although our kiddos are healthy and strong not all babies are.

Easter Pics

Here are a few of the Easter pictures we had taken of Graydon. A good friend of mine recommended her cousin to us and she has taken some of the best pictures of him! So far we've done Pumpkin pics, Santa pics and now Easter! Thanks for recommending them Bethany!!!!

Practice Makes Perfect...

Here are a few pictures from an Easter BBQ we went to last weekend. Graydon participated in his first Easter egg hunt! It was great practice for the real thing this weekend! He did really well picking up the eggs and putting them in his basket but didn't like them to stay in there and kept dumping them back out on the ground! He also decided that his buddy Hunter's basket was neat and tried to take it! (the lime green one) It was really cute!

Fore!!!!

Graydon and I went to play golf with Daddy yesterday and had the best time!

Well, Mike played and Graydon and I drove the cart.

Graydon loved walking around with Daddy's clubs and picking up all the golf balls! It was so cute.

At one point Mike asked Graydon to sit down so he could hit the ball and he did. He just sat right there and watched!

Graydon also loved to get the balls back out of the cup.

Mike can't wait for his little buddy to get a little bigger so they can play together for real!

Shower time!

I just had to post these pics of Graydon's first shower! He LOVED it! Maybe this is TMI for some of you, but those with kiddos can probably relate. Graydon has gotten into the habit of "taking the kids to the pool" during his baths! i.e. going #2! I don't know what it is, but he must just get relaxed or something!!! I guess when we potty train I will just put the potty in the tub!! :) Well, the other night we decided to just take him into the shower and see how he did! He had such a good time! There are only a few pics because Mike is in some and he would absolutely kill me if I put shower pics of him on our blog! Even if they are only from the chest up!

March Update

I've decided I'm going to at least try to blog once a month and give an update! This month has been pretty routine for us. Mike and I are both doing well and we're trying to get in shape! We started the P90X program about 3 weeks ago and so far so good! It is by far the hardest workout I've ever done. I can't speak for Mike since he's played sports his entire life and has always been good about working out. But for me, working out has never really been a priority. I guess when I was younger and in high school it just wasn't that big of a deal for me. I didn't really play sports so I just didn't really work out, and I guess I didn't need to. Ugh, how quickly that changes as you get older and have a baby! I did pretty well about losing the baby weight after Graydon, but still had those last 10-15 lbs! Well, after about a year of saying, "I still have about 10 lbs to lose" I decided I really needed to put some effort into it. I can definitely reccommend P90X to anyone, it is such a good workout! Anyhoo, enough about that! On to the good stuff, GRAYDON!

Our little munchkin is doing just wonderful! He is growing like crazy and has gone from saying one word at a time to saying many things all at once! It's literally like he's having conversations! Of course there are no real sentences and its all just babble with a few real words here and there, but it is so darn cute! He is definitely keeping us on our toes! We have friends with boys about the same age as Graydon and I just laugh when I see them sit still on their parents laps, or in front of the tv for a while captivated by what on, because that is just not our little boy! He is moving, moving, moving, all the time!!! If he is still for about 5 seconds he starts looking around like, "whoops, what am I doing, I need to run around!" I guess that's working out for my weight loss as well! jk Hopefully I'll update more soon with some stats from his next dr. appt. I think we go next week for his 15 month appt.

Here are a few pictures to show how much he's grown!
