Eyes

I think Grant has such an interesting color of eyes. Sometimes they look more green and sometimes they look more golden brown. Either way, totally different from both Chris and I.

Nice Hats!


Here are some pictures from St. Patricks Day that my sis-in-law took. Thank goodness for her so we have pictures of Grant.

Conference and Easter

I really enjoyed this past weekend. I loved listening to Conference. Grant was remarkably good and I managed to stay awake so I was able to get quite a bit out of it this time. I liked having Easter weekend coincide with Conference as well. I was all excited this year for Grant to do an Easter Egg hunt. He loves treats and doesn't get them very often (Poor kid. His mom is not a big fan and so never buys any) so I really thought he would be thrilled to hunt for eggs with treats in them. Well, he was not interested. At all. Ok, maybe for the first 2 minutes of the search he was interested until he found an egg and then he was done and ready to do something else. Oh well. My sister Emily came up and spent the weekend with us. That really helped make it more enjoyable as well. It was nice to have a little one-on-one time with her and our family.

My sister-in-law took a couple pictures so thankfully I have a little record of this Easter.

The first and last egg Grant found. He does kindof have a smug expression on his face doesn't he?

Grant's cousin Kenzie picking up the first and last egg that Grant carelessly tossed to the ground so he could go play with a ball.

Arn't these 2 cousins cute? I love Grant's face in the 2nd one.

Snow, Snow go away. Come again another day. Like maybe in the winter ok?

~5 INCHES OF SNOW! Yes, that's right. We woke up this morning to a ton of snow. I seriously don't think we have had that much snow since December. I was up early this morning and even though I have been longing for warmth and sunshine, it really was so beautiful. There were layers of snow over everything. Grant was thrilled and played outside for about an hour this morning while Julie shoveled. He was eating snow, throwing it, diving in it, rolling in it, stomping in it, attempting to shovel it, and when we finally told him he had to come in, he laid down in it and yelled NO. He was pretty much a human snowball when I brought him in. I do think it's ironic that the school kids get to have that much snow during their spring break.

~Lately, when Grant gets up in the morning or from his nap he proceeds to hand me his blanket, his pillow, his small Lightning McQueen pillow, his doggy, his regular sized Elmo and baby Elmo. Then he expects me to pick him up out of the crib and carry him into the living room while still holding all of this loot from his bed. It's getting to be quite the feat with my growing belly.


~Speaking of my growing belly, Chris was able to feel the baby move last night. I had forgotten how neat that is. It really adds to my love for a little person that hasn't even made her grand entrance into the world yet.
