Jordans

Well Yesterday Greyson was in the hands of Papa Mike and Uncle Alex....so I SHOULD have known. Papa Mike said Grey needed some new shoes for vacation and Uncle Alex loves his shoes (lol) we always give him a hard time for that! Anyway, the three of them went to the mall yesterday and Papa bought Grey his 1st pair of Jordans! They are too cute and velcro....ALL the better for right now, so we will definitely be taking them with us to Florida!!! Thanks papa Mike and thanks Uncle Alex for picking them out.....



How cute are those!!!


Performing for us!

and again...

some play time with Unlce Alex

A MIX of things to tell you....

Not too much has been going on around here people...I don't like it though when I don't blog so here are some pics for you. Grey decided to boycott his crib the other night. So, I brought him into bed with me for a little while and I pretended to sleep thinking that would help Grey. But, it didn't, so I told Nate to take some pics anyway!


Come on Grey do it like mommy does...


Did it work?


Alright, come on buddy boy time to go back in your crib!


And now the cool thing to do is not only look at the fish but go behind the fish tank and try to look at us!

And on another note...hence the title MIX of things to tell you about.........we booked a trip to St. Petersburg Beach in Florida for Spring Break! Just the three of us are going and I canNOT wait! This will be our first big trip with Grey! We just wanted to go somewhere warm and a beach, so the countdown is on!

Happy 29th Nate!

Nate turned 29 on Sunday, February 21st!

We started Nates birthday off bright and early with church at 7am and then we went for breakfast at Delaneys! Grey did pretty good and when we returned home we gave Nate his cards and little gift! Nate liked his gift card to bass pro shops and will definitely put it to good use! It was greys idea and what a great idea it was;)

I had a baby shower to go to in the afternoon so where do you think Nate and Grey went? If you guessed sidetracks...you were right! And once again Nate said Grey loved it! Lol!

We ended the night with dinner and cake at Grammy and Papa Ernats!

So Nate has hit his last year of his 20s! I must admit I'm okay with forever 28 really I'm never getting any older.k! However with that said I must say I think he "wears" 29 quite well and we of course wish him many many many more!

All our love....









This was after our outing in the morning...Nate opened his "stuff" from Grey and I first and foremost of course!






Make a wish!

Come on....blow them all out....all 3 of them

A couple family photos

Debby writing out Nate's card right in front of him...

Kisses

and more kisses

then we stripped Grey down and let him run free for a bit

then Auntie Mims and Grey had a little dance party in the kitchen

then grammy was just havin' fun with Grey...

But then Grey decided to take a break in Jake's bed....

But then Jake attacked Grey with wet kisses and I don't think Grey liked it too much...but in Jake's defense that's what happens when you take over somebody else's bed...right?!

Then it was on to do some spelling on the fridge with daddy...

another family one

sibling love

and another one but this time in black and white ;)

and there's Grey with a..................omg it's a cell phone.....imagine that?

And then came the "actual" singing and eating the yummy ice cream butterfinger cake......yummm!

Happy 29th Nate!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We Love You!

Monday, Monday

Well Happy Monday everybody....and around here we had to wake up to more snow...uggghhhh! I am so ready for SPRING. Not too much went on around here this past weekend other than celebrating Nate's birthday and a baby shower. I still have to upload my pictures from Nate's little celebration....hopefully tonight!

Here are just some pics I took of my sweetie pie over the weekend!

Getting Ready in the Morning...

Long gone are the days that I can take my time getting ready in the morning but that's okay!!! I have never really taken time to acknowledge this and I wanted to! Greyson loves to watch me dry my hair and do my make-up and I love that he likes that! He's a good helper and always hands me my make-up!
I think he just likes the sound of the blow dryer and as far as the make-up.. That really started when I put some on him for Halloween for his lion... Lol!
Happy Friday!

Lent / Ash Wednesday

Well we made it to church last night and Greyson did pretty good. We headed to Holy Family for 6:00 mass, so prior to that Greyson dined on a couple waffles and a banana. I wanted to make sure he had a full belly before mass so at least I didn't have to worry about that part. As for Nate and I we did end up having some grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. For some reason, that always tastes so good.





So, lent has begun and all I could really pray for in church LAST NIGHT was for God to give me strength really in everything I do and I also spent time thinking about what I can give up or more importantly what can I DO!!!!!!!!!!! So, I think Grey and I are going to visit my life long neighbor at the nursing home...Martha!



We grew up next to Martha on 2nd street and now my parents even bought her home and rent it out now. We would always just go in her house like it was our own and visit and she was a really good cook and always baking something for my family. And whenever we would go to leave her house she would stuff our pockets with those butterscotch candies. She always had those on-hand. However, it was getting to the point where Martha could not take care of herself on her own and that her best bet would be the nursing home.



Let's rewind a bit...Right before Valentine's Day Greyson and I made a trip up to see Martha and to be honest with you the only reason we did was because my parents were out of town visiting Jayne and my mom had a little valentine's day present for her and asked if I could run it up to her. So, Grey and I went up and let me tell you as soon as we walked in and I let Grey run down the hallway it was like I had brought LIFE back to all of them. Really they were just in awe of him and staring and laughing...probably because they are not used to seeing that much activity...lol! Anyway, I was a little nervous about going just because I really don't like nursing homes, but it was a really nice visit and Greyson was clutched to my hip at FIRST but then Martha's roomate pulled out a brownie and that's all Grey needed to see! lol! Although I did lie and said we still had to eat dinner so Grey did not get a brownie...You know kinda like never take candy from a stranger type thing and it looked like they were homeade so I was a little leary(SP?)...So, thinking back to that little encounter I think that is something Greyson and I can do...go visit Martha because she LOVED seeing Greyson and that's the least we can do!



Martha also has an oxygen tank she wheels around with her and Greyson just thought that was the coolest thing ever!!! I did have to stop him though when he started pulling on the cords to it...we didn't want to be the cause of that or anything...Geesh -then they really wouldn't want us back-my kid cuts off Martha's oxygen...Just kidding!



So, during this lenten season I hope all of you take a little extra time out and think about what you can DO rather than just what we can give up...because I always think actions speak louder than words...

Whole Foods Part 2

Last night we made our dinner that we bought at Whole Foods! We dined on steak kabobs, grilled potatoes with onions, and I made some wild rice and of course we had some drinks too! It tasted so good to eat some grilled food. Since it has been so cold I cannot tell you the last time we grilled!

Enjoyin' a drink of that beer and apparently Grey too!

The wine we bought at WF and of course I had to put the sippy cup in there...

The two best grillers I know! These were the kabobs that were so good! We really could have just split one of them!

On a different note...I can't believe it is Ash Wednesday already, can you? We are going to attempt church tonight. Wish us luck! Every Sunday with Grey is a bit of a challenge and now the middle of the week might be a little tricky but we have to get our ashes!

I guess it was good that we had such a good meal last night because tonight might consist of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches since we can't eat meat and all!
