First Sleepover

Last week during our week of ER visits Grayson was well take care of by our friends.  In fact he had his first sleepover.  During our time at the hospital Kim would send me pictures via text of what Grayson was doing.  I love that she does this for me.  It eases my mind and I have a feeling that all is okay.  We greatly appreciate our friends Kim, Brad, Kendall, and Kelsey for taking great care of Grayson last week.  He is so loved by each of you...just like he belongs in your family. 

Here are the pictures from his stay!  The first set of pictures are from August 23rd, 2011.  Which was the night he had his first sleepover!

 Grayson slept all night and did great!  We are so proud of him!

Thank you for your prayers!  Chad is doing better and now armed with new antibiotics again he is starting to heal.  We are hoping that by the weekend he will feel 100% better. 

I didn't think that this would be the way he would have his first sleepover, but we are so blessed to have many friends that will help take care of our little guy! 

Thanks again Kim and Brad!

Our Weekend was SO BUSY...

but first here is an adorable picture of Grayson with his buddy Kelsey!  They are watching toy story together.  Kelsey just adores playing with Grayson and I think Grayson feels the same way! {this was on Friday night}

It started early on Saturday morning! 

Chad and his buddy Brad went SKYDIVING!  Yes you are reading this correctly they went SKYDIVING!  Chad agreed to do this with his friend for his 40th birthday.  He was nervous and ended up going first because he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to do it if he didn't go first! 

What a great buddy Chad is for doing this... next year on Chad's 40th Birthday he has decided that Brad will have to run a full marathon with him.  We will see if that happens! 

Here are a few pictures!

Chad said it was a great time, but he would NEVER do it again!

The moment Grayson got in the car he was sleeping... it was a long morning outside playing with friends! 

He got a short nap before we went to lunch with everyone that was at the skydiving event! 

I love this picture of Grayson sitting at the kids table! 

 We quick ran a few errands before we headed to Grayson's school to meet his new teachers!  We were briefly there and took no pictures.  We wanted to run home to get Grayson to take a nap before we had to go to a birthday party.

It was a swim party and Grayson loved every moment!

Grayson was asleep minutes after we left the party! 

Our Sunday consisted of going to church and attending the BIG 40th Birthday Party for Brad!

I took this picture of Grayson at church.  He was more interested in the doors than anything else that day. 

I didn't get any pictures at the party because I was so TIRED and busy running around after Grayson! 

Our afternoon was spent at the house relaxing! 

That was a brief summary of our weekend!

We were getting ready to leave when he found them on top of it all I had just finished giving him a bath.  Oh well it was fun to live in the moment and let Grayson run around playing in the water! Our little guy LOVES WATER!

Kelsey and Grayson playing together... after getting completely wet in his jammies I undressed him to his diaper and he had the BEST time! 

Tonight he got to play in their pool after dinner and he was a little fish swimming everywhere!  No fear at all!

Gender Reveal Party

~Mustache and Hairbow Style~

This past Sunday we attended a GENDER REVEAL party for our sweet friends Tiffany and Aaron! 

The theme was Mustaches and Hairbows...it was Adorable!

I found this idea on pinterest and HAD to share it with Tiffany and I LOVED how she Incorporated it in the party.  It was too cute!

I started taking pictures of each guest and the decor and actually ended up doing almost all of the pictures for her event.  I had someone do this for my gender reveal party and I love that I have those memories captured.  I am glad I was able to do this for Tiffany and Aaron.  As baby BOY Jolliff grows up they can share these memories with him! 

Let the party pictures begin:

We just love miss avery and we had to get a picture of these two cuties together

Congrats to Tiffany and Aaron!



Fun Sunday

We spent the afternoon at Little Gym for Avery's 2nd Birthday Party!  It was fun times because Grayson was able to walk around and play.  He was every where and kept me VERY busy! 

the below picture was cute... the teacher at the little gym told the kids to sit on the white tape and Grayson went over and sat down and stayed on the spot until I picked him up.  He is one smart kid...at least I think so!



It was a perfect 2nd Birthday Party for Avery!
