Good news/ bad news

Good news: Grey's fever broke!!

Bad news: Grey woke up after 14 hours of sleep with his eyes crusted shut. He now has pimples all over his face from the fine layer of snot and tears over his cheeks all night.

Sick G man

Well, Grey has a nasty version of the flu. He is lethargic, feverish, coughing, and super sleepy. Good news is that he is still drinking fluids, so no worrying about dehydration. But he is the most sick he has been in his little life so far. We are constantly worried about him, but we just snuggle him as much as we can and give him lots of loving. Get better soon, G man!

This is normal

Train playing is very important.

Best. Meal. Ever.

Garden update

Becky's recent blog post inspired us to show you what is going on in our garden! We hope you enjoy these pics.

Grey Stuff

Grey is growing up so quickly! He mimics almost every noise we do. He says a few words...mama, dada, and hi. He blows kisses, gives high fives, waves hi and bye, and gives good hugs. He knows a handful of baby signs. His favorite is "more" which really just turned into "want". He does it for anything he wants. We were buying him a few new sippys, and when we got down the aisle he kept signing "more, more, more, more" as he makes a high pitched squeal...haha. We love him so much, and can't wait for summer to get here! Here are a few pics and videos... enjoy!

Here's a Sammy video to start off....Poor Sammy. This was so funny we had to tape it. Sammy gets stuck in the blanket daily, but this was the worse yet. You would think he would learn. The funniest thing is he was actually on the couch when all this happened...poor guy (girl).

Grey's new game. Pretty sure Mary found it on Pinterest...haha. He loves this. Now he brings us the cup, and baby signs "more". His new favorite thing to do.

This was when Grey first started climbing the coffee table...he was really excited (hence the ridiculous amounts of drool). He note climbs stands, laughs, and gets back down...much to our chagrin.

Still cuddly with Mama

Knows how to use oven mits

Hiking in the mountains northwest of Boulder

 Getting Grey used to the backpack...planning on using it a lot this Summer...thanks Kennedys!

 The area was obviously was destroyed by fires, but the views were beautiful

Grey would also run downhill and end up falling....then get up, laugh, and do it all over again

Easter 2012

We had a wonderfully relaxing Easter weekend this year. We spent Saturday morning at our neighborhood Mayfair Park at an Easter Egg Hunt. We walked with Grey in the wagon down the park, and got there just in time; all the older kids were going CRAZY picking up the eggs! We found a little corner of the park and Grey found two eggs, one for each hand, and he was happy as a clam. He then spent the next 15 minutes walking around with the two eggs, watching all the other kids. He loved holding on to those two eggs, and even refused to put them in the Easter basket! We got some really great pics, shown below.

On Easter Sunday, we headed up to Boulder for a nice Easter brunch at Stephanie's house. I made an asparagus, mushroom, onion and goat cheese quiche, and Stephanie made this AMAZING french toast casserole with strawberry topping. Joe made bacon for the bacon lovers and crescent rolls. We even had mimosas with freshly squeezed orange juice! We ate like kings, for sure. Thanks for hosting a great Easter brunch, Stephanie!

Hope you enjoy these pics - more coming soon!

Walking down to the Easter Egg hunt

Thanks for my cool hat, grammy!

"I see one right there!"

"There is another one right here!"

The Easter spread

My quiche - yummmm

Stephanie hid Easter eggs all over her yard, and Grey LOVED finding them! He then played catch with the eggs with Uncle Joe.

He kept going back to this one.

After brunch, we dyed eggs! Grey's first time (why didn't we do it last year??)

All the colors.

Grey is really into climbing now, and Uncle Joe was happy to help. Be careful!

Look what else was hiding! Justin liked finding these.

All done! Happy Easter!
