Silly boy!

Coming in from the porch

"I see you!"

In the loft of Greyson's fort

You can't tell, but Greyson's shivering!

Poppy's getting you with the sprinkler

"Come on, Grey!"

Ready, Get set, Go!!!

A Mini-Vacation! Day 1

We spent this week at Cris and Jim's and since I didn't have to work it was like a mini-vacation! It was a fun filled week for Greyson and I both. Went out on the lake - Greyson loves to sit in teh captain's chair and help drive the boat (he likes playing with the keys more). It was a beautiful day to be out on the water. Decided to go for a swim...the water temperature had changed since the last week we visited. After that week of cold weather the water temp dropped considerably -Brr! But once I got in and was swimming for a while it didn't feel so bad. Greyson came in for a little bit. It was a very nice time.

Showing off his jammies.

Making bunny noses with Poppy.

Mmm! Marshmallows!

Sitting by the fire with Poppy.

Off to find some crackers (just in case) for the swans.

SUN-ing!

Looking for swans

I was interrupting his time with the boat keys
He wasn't very happy.

Being a "beach" babe

Always with the keys!

What a stud in his (daddy's old) ninja turtles life vest!

Such a good captain.

Greyson LOVES to drive the boat!

Could it Be? Yes, I think it is. Summer!

So it's June 14th and Michigan is finally seeing summer. It's been summer in North Carolina for at least two months (just thought I'd point that out). But of course there is always the other side...if I was there I just might be saying "does it really have to be this HOT!" but I'm not there so I can say that I'm glad that summer has finally arrived. Greyson and I spent the day hanging out in the pool and lounging around the yard. What a beautiful Michigan summer day!

Always climbing!

Pull yourself up!

A regular ironman

About to show off his muscles.

Really enjoys the teeter-totter!

Just a swingin'

Has never had watermelon on the rind - Diggin' it

Love the smile.

Must capture those mother and son moments.

Just relaxing.

Such talent.

Ooo! Impressed with his skills.

Crazy how much fun two cups can be.

Playing in the pool - having a grand 'ole time

UDDERly hilarious

So today we went to finally pick up Clayton's new car *exhausting* and if the past three weeks wasn't long enough it took us two hours just to complete the paperwork, and another hour to an hour and a half for them to polysteel the car (okay, so that was optional and it made sense to do it then instead of coming back at another time...plus I got to go to the mall and do a little shopping)...anyway, lets get to the point.So we (oh, and by we I mean Cris and I (and Greyson)) are in the finance guys office filling out paperwork and Greyson is playing with the toys in the corner. First it was trucks and then farm animals. Anyhoo, he is playing with a cow and walking him around the room saying "cow" and "moo"...cute, right? Definitely! Well, next thing I hear is PENIS! What? Did he just say penis? (Yes the boy knows the word penis and he knows what it means, but he's never said it in public before - but that isn't really the funny part). So I turn to look at Greyson. He's pointing to the udders on the cow and calling it a penis. I couldn't help but laugh. I then explained to him that what he was pointing to were udders which hold milk so that the cow can feed its babies. I guess I could have been horrified but instead I was humored by the whole thing. I mean he's two. A easy mistake...unless you think about the fact that there are like at least 8 nipples on an udder and well, you get the drift. Anyway, I hope you all found it as funny as I did. :o)
