Something that made my day

This cute kid made my day.  Just this morning, he FINALLY said Mom!  Well it was really Ma and Mama.  I couldn't believe my ears at first, but then he kept saying it.  I feel SO loved!  He's not one for many words yet.  As he was laying in his crib for bed tonight he and I were going through the words he's recently picked up.  Da (Dad), Ma and Mama, Papa, No, Trash, Ball, and Bubble.  I'm so proud of him!

Happy trails to you

The mountains were calling Keith's name.  So we headed east.  I wasn't sure how long I would last on the trail, but I loved it!  What a beautiful day.  Occasionally we could hear the whistle of a train from the nearby ghost town.  Grant would get all excited, we'd listen, and then he'd make his train whistle sound too.  So cute!  

Grant loved hiking, but I think he loved collecting a few rocks at the end even more than he enjoyed the hike.  He held them in his hands on the way home until he fell asleep (which didn't take long).  We did a whole trail and made it home just in time to all take a long, much needed, nap.

On the way

Being silly with his glasses

Getting really sleepy half way through

All done and going home

Happy trails to you!

Finishing it off with a splash

It's the best when Keith comes with us to the pool. 

Grant had so much fun playing with his dad on the beach.

Hope you had a great Spring Break too!

Thank you Grandma Jackson for so much swimming fun last week!  We loved every minute of it!

Today

It's been raining on and off today.  We've watched the polar express two times already this morning and we made these yummy (and healthy) oatmeal cookies.  Oh, it smells like Christmas in my house!  Now Grant is taking a nap and I might go do the same.

Spring Training

Went to a Diamond Backs spring training game with Keith's family.  This is the way to do it.  We had seats on the grass and the kids could play.  It was a lot of fun and the weather, of course, was wonderful!  Grant is in love with baseball, so he really liked getting to go to his first game.

Have a great weekend!

Tricks

I think he's got this one mastered.  

Now we just need to get him to blow bubbles in the pool instead of licking up the water like a dog.  Yucky!
