Our Recent Trip

We headed to the cold and at times snowy South Dakota last Thursday through Monday to celebrate our nephews birthdays. 

here they are with their sweet mommy!

I knew it was going to be cold, but it was snowing!  I am so ready for the warm days and it was nice to come home to warmer weather.  

Needless to say with the cold weather we enjoyed time indoors at my sister's house.  Grayson had the best time playing with all of his cousins.  He was a busy boy trying to keep up with all of them.  While we were in South Dakota he mastered standing on his own.  I think if he would have spent another week playing with his cousins he would have mastered walking.  I always get nervous traveling with Grayson because I am afraid he won't nap or sleep at night.  On this trip he did AMAZING!  I am sure it had to do with all the playing he did with his cousins!   

While we were there we tried several times to get pictures taken by Amie.  I wanted Amie to take Grayson's 10 month pictures and a picture for his birthday invitation.  I think we got some really GREAT pictures.  I love his birthday invitation and I can't wait to share it with all of you.  Here is one FUN picture we got of Grayson... love him to pieces.

 
I will have to tell you getting a crawling baby to sit and get pictures is tough. 
He was EVERYWHERE! 
I am hoping we have better luck when Amie is here for Grayson's 1st birthday!  {which is next month...yikes!} 

Sunday afternoon we went to the local gymnastics school to celebrate Aidan and Drew's birthday.  It was so much fun!!!!  Grayson's two favorite things was the swing and the basketball.  I wish I could have that exact swing in our backyard on a big FAT tree.  It was so NEAT!!!!  
I am so glad that we were able to make the drive to South Dakota to spend time with my family.  It was great memories and I look forward to hosting our families in May when we all get together to celebrate GRAYSON turning 1!!!!! 

 I have so many more pictures to share from our weekend, but I don't want this post to be too long and boring for you!  I will leave you with our newest family picture.
