Hippity Hoppity Easter Egg Hunt!

We were so thrilled when we got our invitation to the Second Annual
Hippity Hoppity Easter Egg Hunt!!
A sweet friend of mine puts together this fun event at Lions Park. It is so fun to see all the kids hunt egg, and it was amazing to see how they have all grown since last year.
Speaking of last year...

Its crazy to see how little she was. It seems like it was just yesterday!

We were a tad early so we got some good play time in.
"Gray go Wee!"
yes, my daughter speaks in third person...
Gray insisted that "Daddy go Wee"
Isn't he amazing? He will do almost anything for his Gray Lady, even though he barely even fit.
"Weeee Daddy!"
"Hi Mommy"
"Hi Audrey!"
Gray was so excited to see her park friend
Look at that pose :)
We were so excited that Aiden came to join us this year. He reminded me of Ferdinand, he was just happy to sit in the grass and smell the flowers.
You are my sunshine!
Someone was doing some serious pacing waiting for the big event to get started
"I think Ill just sit down and rest until Miss Danee says we can get this party started"
She was first up to the starting line
Taking a mental note of the egg placement
A few big kids made their way ahead of Gray but since she had her mental map of the eggs, she was happy to step back
Joey kept joint that the event was more about the photo-ops then the actual egg hunt, I big to differ, but this picture does not help my case....
And their off!!
"yup, run away sucker this ones mine!"
"ooh whats inside?"
Gray wanted to open each one as she found them, luckily daddy was there to help keep her of the right path
"come on daddy, this way"
"this one looks good, now where was the next one on my list?"
"oh thats right, here by the sign"
"holy cow, the eggs are almost all gone!"
"well, guess Ill go sit down and check out my loot"
"this one has Jelly Beans inside"
Aiden really wanted to try some Jelly Beans..
"Aiden, its not my fault that you only got two eggs, you can have a few, but give me back my egg"
"sweet success!"
"one, two, three, five..yup they are all here"
Group pic time!
We had such a fun morning and cant wait until the THIRD annual event!
Thanks to the Easter Bunnys special helper Danee for hosting such a fun day!!

Three Generations

The other day I headed out with my two favorite girls to scout out a new photo shoot location. Of course I had to take along my camera to check lighting and such, so I decided to get a few shots of Grammy and Gray. Please note these are SOC (straight of of camera), no editing, so please don't judge too roughly. :)

Someone LOVES her Grammy!
Seriously? Is this not the sweetest pic?
Happy Girl!
"Mom, Im not to sure about that down there!"
They were deep in conversation...
Love them!
When we got home Gray decided to run around the yard, and since I had my camera out...more pics were taken
This girl is full of life!
A VERY rare occurrence...A picture of Gray AND me!!
I will always be there to hold you hand, through everything, every step of the way!
I love my mom and the amazing relationship she and Gray have. I hope that one day Gray thinks I am as great as I think my mom is!!

Phone Dump Videos

I am always trying to get clips of things Gray does or says, they are just too cute not to capture.
Videos One: "Baby Jesus"
After a day at school (MDO) we sat down for dinner, Gray looked at her food and said "Thank you baby Jesus, I had to grab the phone and record it....too cute!

Videos Two: "Valentines Day"
We had been talking about Valentines Day, and the party she would have at school. The day of she started saying "Happy Balintines Day" again....too cute!!

Video Three: "Twinkle, Twinkle"
Here she is singing, I think she has the sweetest little voice!

Video Four: "The Race"
One nice day we went for a walk and decided to race home, I just had to document her running. Sometimes I worry her feet ant going to move as fast as her body! :)

Enjoy!

20 Months!

January marked 20 months with this sweet lady!!
Gray is talking, and talking, and singing, and talking some more. Its her most favorite thing to do! She is so inquisitive, she asks questions about EVERYTHING!
Singing is also a favorite hobby. She knows all the words to Itsy Bitsy Spider ("Bitsy") and to Twinkle, twinkle, little star. She also loves singing Boomer Sooner, and Jingle Bells (yes, even in February) However, these she has her own version of...Its pretty funny!
Gray is pretty much always happy, always moving, and always talking. I LOVE IT!!

Cheese!
Guess my age this month...
Its 20!!! Whoa, thats a big number!
Mom, this is silly, are we done yet??
I got chalk on on pants!!
Gray was helping me work at getting the studio together, She was just being too cute not to snap a pic. *Please note, it was not finished, nor did I have the lights on...But cute non the less :)
Happy 20 months Little Bean! Only 4 more till you're two!!!

Christmas Day at the Harms

Christmas mooring we headed over to my parents. We were so glad that Nickolas, Angela, and Nora were in town to celebrate with us. I hope that Angelas family doesn't mind that they are going to spend every Christmas with us (a girl can hope, right?), It just wouldn't be the same without them. Gray is downright obsessed with Nora. She asks where she is daily. I hate having to tell her that it will be awhile before she sees her again. I know that she is counting the days in her head...a 21 month old can do that, right?



Checking out her stocking gifts with a little help from Sophie
"humm...whats down there?"
You could barely see these two behind their mountain of gifts!
New Bitty Baby from Grammy and Oompah
Nora had not only her gifts from our family, but her dad, and Grandparents...she was opening way into the afternoon. :)
We waited to give her her new stroller until we got to my parents, we thought it would make more sense after she had gotten her new baby.
and she was off...
Nora also got a new doll. She loved that it looked just like her!
Angelas new ugg earmuffs!
Sassy girl
Nickolas in the new coat Angelas dad sent him...he's ready for working' the ranch!
"mom, why are you always taking my picture?"
Nora needed a bath and Gray decided to join in. They were seriously in there FOREVER!
Playing with Noras new stickers
Love
Sassy-pants again
I love, love, love Christmas time! Its all about family, giving and celebrating a wonderful holiday together. I cant wait for Christmas 2012! Only 313 days to go :)
