Visit from Grandma Gray!

We had so much fun this past weekend with Grandma Gray! She came and spent a few days with us and spoiled us so much! We always love having family come and see us! Lily and Grandma were best friends! Lily gave Grandma lots of loves and kisses! We were sad to see Grandma leave. Here are a few of the things we did with Grandma...
The first day Grandma was here she gave Lily a very nice Jazz jersey which she instantly wanted to put on and show her support!

Thursday we went to the Children's Museum. It was Lily's first time and she loved it! Anyone that knows Lily well enough will not be surprised that the first thing Lily did was find a book and a chair to read!
Lily also really enjoyed the fishing! She got pretty good at it too! She is practicing to go fishing with Grandpa when she is a little older! She was kind and did the catch and release!

Then it was off to the fire engine. She enjoyed putting on the jacket and hat. She also liked climbing on the truck.


Then it was off to help out all of our animal friends at the Vets office! Lily has a very special spot in her heart for animals and is so kind with them!
I have to say that she is not allowed to get out of the shopping cart to help me shop until she has her own money to pay for it! Her approach was anything in sight is worth buying!

Lily has always loved to dance and was so happy to have a nice dance floor to dance on. She really enjoyed the tutu and scarfs too!
The whole time that Grandma was here Lily couldn't get enough of Grandma! This is her dragging Grandma to play!
We also had a fun time at the Zoo!



Three generations
We had such a great visit. We also went to Budapest Bistro and played lots of games. TJ would want me to share that he beat us at almost every one! It was a lot of fun to stay up and play games that we are unable to play with just the two of us. Thanks Grandma for coming and playing with us! We love you!
We are taking reservations for visitors any time!

Our Silly Lily in Action!

Around our house there is a lot of excitement! With Lily growing up and being more into play and adventure, we have a lot of laughs in our house! These are a few of Lily's favorite things to do....
Wrestle with Mom and Dad! She had me in a body headlock and Daddy thought it would be funny to capture the moment on camera! Some reason Lily always wins!Finding Snacks or anything else she is not supposed to be into!
Lily has started getting into the cupboards and finding whatever she can to entertain her or satisfy a craving. Here she is with goldfish. She has also found the wax paper and pulled the paper off the roll.
Climbing!
This is her daily exercise routine! She climbs up and down the stools multiple times in a row and then finishes off climbing all the way to the top of the table! She is practicing her climbing for the park this summer!
Cooking and Eating!
She got an amazing food set from her Aunt Allie for Christmas. She is learning to cook meals for Daddy and Mommy. She also cooks for herself! We are still working on pretend verses really eating the plastic food!
These are just a few of our favorite activities for the time being. Lots of fun at our house...so if anyone is interested in visiting, there is lots of fun to be had!

Bowling is so much FUN!

We went out on the town with our friends Leana and JK. We took Lily bowling for the first time and she had such a great time! She loved that you got to roll the ball two times before your turn was over. She got a little upset when she got a strike because she didn't get the second turn! Our little Lily is not so little anymore! She is growing up so fast and doing so many new things every day! It is a lot of fun now that she is able to play a lot more! We will be going to the bowling alley a lot more!
Picking the perfect ball!

She is already a pro!

The Cutest Potato Head Ever!

Lily LOVES her potato heads! She plays with them numerous times a day! She loves to dress up with the pieces as well as play with daddy! I love this picture of our little potato head!

I have to add that she is even great at picking them up when she is done! She is starting to understand that we have to clean up one toy before we get out another! We sure love our little Lily!
