The Return to the Tulip Festival

Here we have Greysen smelling the tulips.
Yesterday was a much better day to go to the festival. Greysen has finally learned to clap his hands. Almost the entire time he jibe jabbered and clapped his hands.
Here is Greysen with his friend Deni. There was so much to see that I was grateful that he finally looked at the camera.

The Tulip Festival

The three of us went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday. It was a little cold so we didn't stay too long.
I want one of these trees in my yard. They have them all over the gardens and I think they are so whimsical and enchanting.

Here is our fun family photo.
This was at the end of our journey when MacKinlay carried Greysen because he was so cold. His hands were cold so he shoved one in his mouth to warm it up.

Grandma MacKinlay would love this!


Greysen's not quite like Mozart yet, but he still has 2 years before he would need to compose his first piece!

Sunday Afternoon!


I had to get a picture of Greysen before we went to church in his spring duds. He is such a smiley boy and we have so much fun with him.

1st Easter for the little guy


Greysen loved the faux grass that was in his Easter Basket. He sat on the floor running the blades through his fingers.

Greysen and the Cup!


Greysen loves to drink out of a glass. He likes when the cold water splashes his face. He gets so excited when he sees a cup and loves to stick his hand inside.

Greysen is grooving to the beat!

So of course this made me laugh and I had to get the camera. Unfortunately it is never as good once you finally get the camera. But he was totally moving to the beat. The reason this toy is still in the box is because it is for his first birthday.

On the Move!

Greysen is always on the go. He loves to play around his car seat but hates to actually ride in it. It is a battle strapping him in without a tantrum. Just yesterday he learned how pull himself up to a stand. I immediately went and lowered his crib. Boy are we for it now! Just kidding I love the stage that he is at right now.

At the Aquarium

We went to the aquarium on Friday with a friend that I used to work with and her little girl. Greysen loved touching the glass the most.

New Shades!

Check out Greysen with his new shades. He kept them on for a long time but then he figured how to take them off and stick them in his mouth.

Best Birthday Present

Greysen loves his aunt Rachel. He has been such a good boy since she has been here.
This is the first time that Rachel saw Greysen. I was so excited.
My best friend Rachel moved to Georgia last April and I haven't seen her since. MacKinlay and Shana's family went to Cafe Rio for my birthday dinner on March 9th. I was standing in line ordering when Rachel called and asked, "did you get the package I sent?" "No, I haven't checked the mail today because it snowed." She said, "turn around." There she was standing in Cafe Rio. My mouth dropped I was so shocked. I ran over and gave her a big hug. It was seriously the best birthday present ever.

Best 29th Birthday Ever


I had an awesome 29th Birthday. If I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the end of the year you will know that my wish came true.
