Kerry & TJ's Wedding

One of my best friends from Marysville got married this last weekend. She was absolutely beautiful and we had so much fun. Kerry thanks for involving me in your big day! It was so great to see everyone!

The Best $60 We have Ever Spent!!

We decided the night before we were to leave for Turks that we needed to figure out a way to have some tunes on the beach....well Target came thru for us in an unimaginable way..... "THE BOOMBASTIC" (this was my nickname for the ipod docking station) This thing is no bigger than a clutch purse and I'm telling you it puts out some rock'n tunes!! We will never leave home without it. And yes this is a picture of my Totally 80's husband rocking out to AC/DC!! Too Funny.

Turk's... HERE WE COME!!!

G thought he was just going to squeeze into my bag unnoticed.... I don't think so! Mommy needs a few days off! Grandma Ronda here we come....

The Pumpkin Patch

Aunt KiKi and I took G to the Pumpkin Patch today. Pretty cute. I can't believe it's already October and my baby is almost 7 months old..... Jake is ready for another one..... ahahahah

G's First K-State Game!!

So Greyson went to his first football game today! He did so good. He loves being outside so he was in heaven! Here is some pics of him watching the game with Grandpa Dan and Daddy. And some tailgating pics also!

Sorry!

Ok all you blog stalkers..... I have to appologize, I'm a bad mom and a bad blogger... I haven't updated my blog forever and I am going to try to do better! It's been a crazy couple of months and if I told you my reasoning behind why I haven't updated it you would all probably laugh..... ok, well my hubby got me a blackberry and I swear that is the whole reason I haven't been updating. Basically I can do everything with my email etc from the dang blackberry, so with that I hardly ever sit down at my computer anymore. AND... I have been trying to convince Jake that I need a laptop so that I can be more mobile along with the Gman but so far that hasn't been going so well. So wish me luck!!

You Gotta Love Garage Sales!

Ok so really I have got some of the cutest things at garage sales lately. And some of them are those things that you hate to spend a lot of money on because he may only wear them like once but when you only spend $1 it doesn't matter! Although my philosophy on garage sales is that you have to hit a lot of bad ones before you get a good one. I have went to some good ones lately so I am for sure doomed for the next few months!! This hat was too cute to pass up and Greyson just loved it, he was mad when I took it off of him!! Too Funny!

Rock Chalk!

Jake and I were headed to the KU game so we thought we better get the Gman all dressed up also. Jake was very proud of this family photo....one for the books! Go Hawks!

My Two Front Teeth!!

Yep, he got em! His two bottom front teeth came in at the exact same time. Compared to the nightmares we had heard it really was pretty painless (for us at least) and Gman really seemed to take it quite well. We figured at least one was about to bust through considering the extremely snotty nose, the drooling that would never stop and sudden hault to sleeping though the night!! Which by the way he had me so spoiled with sleeping through the night I felt like I had a newborn again. He has been sleeping through the night since he was 8 weeks old!

Lydie and Maddie

The Konrade girls came to visit us for an entire week and let me tell you I was so sad to send them home. They were like having to little mother hens running around the house constantly. They were so much help and they loved playing with Greyson. Madelyn would wake up every morning and the first thing out of her mouth would be "Barbie, what can I clean today??" And then one day Lydia came to me and said, " You know what I really want to do?? I want to wash windows!" I really quick ran and got the Windex and some towels and said you go to town girlfriend! Anyways, I told them they could come back whenever they wanted. They are just the sweetest things ever, I hope I have girls just like them!! I miss them so much.

Hugh Hefner Jammies

Jake calls these G's Hugh Hefner's! They are the softest/cutest pj's I've ever had and they are made with organic cotton. They are made by Barefoot Dreams!! Love'em!! He's growing out of them so fast we are going to have to order more!

Joy of Baby!

This picture was taken specifically for Grandpa Dan. He has pictures of all the Grandkids in this exact onesie! He has them all lined up in his office. Pretty cute!

CEREAL!!!

Well, we tried some cereal for the first time last noc and I would have to say it was a success! He really didn't know what to do at first but by the time we got 10 spoonfuls in he would get ticked if I didn't shovel it in! Can't believe he's already 4 months old!

My latest creation!

For Stampede I decided to test my creativity and make Pepsi logo sugar cookies! Where in the world I found time, I have no idea!! But I didn't think they turned out to shabby.... and they acutally tasted pretty darn good too!! That's always a bonus!

The $5.00 Mirror

So how many hundreds of dollars of toys do we have at our house and the only thing the kid wants to play with is the $5.00 full length mirror. And not only does he love it Abby can't get enough of it either. They just sit there side by side! Pretty cute!

"I finally found it!!"

Greyson has been searching for his thumb for weeks! Every single picture that I have of him he has his hands in his mouth....talk about oral fixation.

Well, he finally found! During our trip to Target he found and he wouldn't let it go the whole rest of the day! I can't decide if this is good or bad.....I can take a bink away but what am to do about the thumb.....

The Three Musketeers

Introducing (starting from the left) We've got "Heavy D" Carson, "The G Unit" Wassenberg and "Maddog" Hodges! All the Manhattan ladies are going to have to watch out for these studs! Give'em a few years they are going to be TROUBLE!!!

Bumbo!

Today we tried the bumbo seat for the first time and he loved it! He has started this whole thing were he gets quite ticked if I am not in the same room as him so..... needless to say when I'm in the bano so is Greyson!! Fun times for all....haha

I've created a monster!

Ok so this is totally my fault but my kid will not take naps anywhere but in the swing!! AAAHHH!! What have I done.... I'm going to have to invest in one of those travel swings so we can take it where ever we go. We had to get one just to have at Grandma's house. Wonder how long this phase will last???

Jumperoooooo!!

Greyson loves his new toy! Thanks Em for letting us steal it from ya!! He could play in this thing all day. And it actually gives me time to get something done, this thing is awesome!!

A Little Light Reading......

Greyson loves to be read to and Daddy chose to read the recent issue of Fortune to him! I think his exact words were, "Never can start teach'n this stuff too early." Greyson seemed to be enjoying it so o well!

Chill'n on the Deck

It was so nice out we decided to spend the evening on the deck! Greyson had a great time and Mom and Dad got to enjoy a nice cold one!! Gotta love that! We are so happy that nice weather is finally here to stay!!

"Uncle" B-Dub

We took our first trip to K.C. this last weekend to see "Uncle" B-Dub and his new house! We had a really good time! Greyson behaved really well and Mommy got to relax and enjoy herself! We also got to see Ali for the first time (we will have a pic up soon)!

Baptism

Greyson got Baptised on Mother's Day. He was such a good boy! He wore the outfit that Jake got baptized in 33 years ago. He looked absolutely adorable! We had a great day.

Twins

Greyson and I went to Marysville to stay with Grandma Patti while Jake was in Boston. When we got there Grandma and Grey were dressed exactly alike so we had to take some pics. Too funny!!

Smiles!!

Greyson has really started to smile a lot! And he gets really excited and throws his arms in the air...it's too funny!! He has really started to "talk"...he hears himself and then just gets louder and louder. It is just hilarious!!

My Uncle's Rock!

Greyson just loves his Uncle Mikey and Uncle Jonny. We got together to celebrate their birthdays! Number 22 and 20! So Happy B-day to my favorite Uncs!

My Future Babysitters

Greyson and I took a trip to Topeka to see everybody. Of course we had to go see the Konrade's!! Lydi and Madelyn were so thrilled to see Greyson. They are going to come stay with us this summer....can't wait!!!

Spring Weather....finally

We are so glad this spring weather is finally here!! We spent a lot of time outside today so the G-man is a little pooped! He is 6 weeks old today....can't believe it!

April 20, 2008

Today Greyson made his first attempt at "talking" which I'd define as any noise that is not crying. Not sure what it was he was trying to say but it provided about an hour of entertainment tonight.

To keep him entertained Barb read him "The Three Little Jayhawks" by Don Fambrough. It's basically the "Three Little Pigs" but the big bad wolf is replaced by the big bad Missouri Tiger. When Fambrough was KU's football coach he was known for his hatred of all things Mizzou, so this book is rather fitting.

April 16, 2008

Jake and Greyson catch a quick nap right after feeding time. They both jumped out of their skin after I snapped this picture. :)

Greyson and Abby

We've always heard that Cockers aren't so good with kids, but Abby has been great. She seems to be upset when Greyson cries and when we go for walks she insists on walking right next to the stroller.
Sometimes I'll put Greyson on the bed while I get ready and Abby will snuggle up next to him. Too cute!

One Month Old

I cannot believe my baby boy is already a month old! Everybody keeps warning me how fast it goes. We took Greyson to the doctor for his checkup and he weighed 8 lbs. 11 oz. Also while we were there he decided to roll over not once but twice!! (One month olds are not suppose to roll over :) Anyways, Dr. Klingler was quite impressed!

Champs!

April 4-7 Jake made the trip down to San Antonio to the Final Four. He wasn't in charge of the camera so unfortunately I don't have any pictures to post yet, but here are a couple good youtube video links:

First Weekend at Grandma Patti's

While Daddy was in San Antonio, G and I went to Marysville for our first stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house! Grey spent most of the time hanging with Grandpa, they like to take lots of naps together!! Notice the pic with Grandpa Bob, doesn't seem to matter what position he's in, he is comfortable.

New Pepsi Man in Town

Might be a few years before we can actually put this pepsi guy to work but thought we better not waste any time letting him know the beverage of choice. Thanks to Glenda for making this cute blanket for us!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk.... GO KU!!

We had to dress Greyson up for the big game on Thursday! Grandma Patti and Mommy had a good time playing dress up! Don't worry Grandma Ronda and Grandpa Dan we will have plenty of KSU outfits coming in the future!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Greyson was one week old on St. Patty's Day! We are a little late getting this post up but oh well!
We continue to do well, he eats great and sleeps great! Can't ask for much more.... We had our first official photo shoot today so hopefully we will get some of those pictures up soon!

Sunbathing

Greyson had a good time sunbathing when we got home! He was pretty jaundice so this was a daily activity for us for the first couple of days but it all paid off and we didn't have to use phototherapy!!

One Day Old!!

Greyson is one day old today and has changed so much already!! He had lots of visitors his first day of life. We are planning on going home tomorrow, so hopefully we (mom) get a good nights rest!
