The Big Party

Well, the birthday party was a hit…and my living room looks like a toy store! Thanks to all of our friends and family that came to help celebrate and for all of the toys, clothes, and money! Also for the gifts and money sent through the mail!

The kids had such a great time! Lily loved having her own cake and I think that she would’ve eaten the entire thing had we let her!! Carson on the other hand, ate a small piece and was off for more toys.

It was great to have Michael’s dad and sister here from Maryland for the big day! We are sorry that the time always goes so fast, but we enjoyed having you!!

Hope that you all have recovered from the long Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed an extra day off!! Talk to you soon!

Miss you all,

Birthday Pictures!!

Yes, Lily turned 1 yesterday and Carson will be 2 tomorrow! It is so hard to believe that this past year has just flown by! Here are the pictures that we had taken at the Studio today! Lily just loved having her picture taken! Carson on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with it! I will update soon with b-day party pictures! Enjoy! Love, The Grays :0)

May Days

WOW! Where has the past month and a half gone? Seems like we have been going since Easter and haven’t stopped! We have spent our weekends traveling or having company. We did add in a Garage Sale and an Uppercase Living party!

The kids are doing well and are growing like crazy. Lily is about to walk, she has it down but just won’t let go! Her personality is very easy going and she still wants to spend her time with mommy!

I think that the terrible two’s have hit Carson already. I feel like all I say to him some days is no! He now knows how to lock & unlock doors so if you don’t watch him close he will be outside before you know it! He really enjoys putting on his shoes and hanging out in the garage until we are ready to go! He has also started climbing on his bed, so it is about time for the big boy bed!

These next couple weeks are busy with the kids’ birthdays and Michael’s family coming in from Maryland! We are so excited to see them and I know they are excited to see the kids!

Hope that you all are doing well…we are having pictures the end of next week, and I will send them out!

Love,

Spring/Easter Pictures

Here are the pictures that we had taken on Wednesday! After waiting for an hour and fifteen minutes, needless to say the kids didn't want to have their pictures taken. However, they didn't turn out too bad! Enjoy! Happy Easter! The Grays :0)

Happy Easter

Hello to all,
Well yet another month plus has passed since our last update and things have has been busy as usual. This last week has been so crazy with both kids sick with the rotovirus! Yuck!! Both are feeling much better but needless to say, it was a very very long week. I’m so thankful for Michael and his flexible job! He was so much help and I don’t think that I could have done it without him!

Carson is talking a ton and is telling us about many things, including what mommy says…no no!! He loves to play outside and go for walks in our new double stroller and has been helping daddy put together our new playground for the back yard! He is into fixing things and likes to use his own tools to do so!

Lily is a mommy’s girl and cries whenever I’m not at her side! She is pulling up to everything and walking. She is really happy playing with Carson as long as he isn’t hurting her! She is babbling a lot and has finally started eating regular foods with her two teeth!

Michael has been very busy working in the basement. We now have walls and they are ready to be painted. Thanks to Billy (Michael’s brother) for helping and for his expertise! The plumbers came last week and the bathroom is ready for the sink & toilet…so hopefully our visitors will have their own space. I know that Michael is anxious for it to be done! I’m just ready for all the mess and dust to be gone! His job is going good as always. We are just waiting for May when he starts his new territory. Lol!

I’ve had a busy last few weeks…tried selling hair bows in Wichita. It wasn’t quite what I thought it would be, did sell about 30, but was hoping for more. However, I did get to see a lot of friends who came through. This week I’m taking clothes to the consignment sale in Wichita, so I will be in town again and will be back the beginning of April to try selling once more! We also are trying to get Easter pictures this week, so I will send another update with those! I’m very excited for spring and we have been enjoying the nice days when we can get out and play. Can’t wait for us to get the fence up so that the kids can play!

Hope that you all are doing well and enjoying the nice weather! Happy Easter!

Miss you all,
