4th of July / Family Reunion

For 4th of July this year we were low key and stayed home this year. I had just returned from the Jones family reunion and Jesse was stuck working, so we weren't able to go anywhere, but its ok it was still a good Holiday.

But 1st Grant and I loaded up on the Wed. before 4th of July and headed to Big Rock Candy Mountain in Utah to have some fun with my Dad's side of family. It was nice to get out of the hot weather and see family I hadn't seen in a long time. We had fun playing games, doing crafts, white water rafting, and LOTS of fourwheeling. They had some AWESOME trails up there.

This was Grant and I's room, the name of the room explains it all.

Grant was a Lady's Man

Grant & Rachel- She feel in love with Grant and couldn't get enough of him all week long! She was a great help to me!

4th of July

This year we hung out with friends, had a few BBQ's, and set off fireworks. It was alot fun. We even got in a few rounds of Killer Mau while waiting for it to get dark. :)

Saturday night we went to the park to watch some "big" fireworks

Daddy & Grant Waiting for the fireworks to start

Forget these fireworks I'm going to bed!!

On the 4th we were over at some good friends of ours setting off our own fireworks. Thanks for show Allison and Austin!!!

Before we started!!! Happy as can be

Then this happened.. Plus loud fireworks..

Then I didn't like it as much and had to sit with Dad like this!!!

Jesse just uploaded his photos of Grant from his phone, so I thought I would share some of them with you...

My favoirte photo... My cute little boy in the bath. He loves bath time!!!

I NEED FOOD!!! Grant loves meal time and is working on feeding himself. Thats why more is on him and not in his mouth!!!

Memorial Weekend

For Memorial weekened we flew down to Visalia to be with Jesse's family. It was great to get out of Vegas for a few days and spend time with the family. The weather was great and we were able to spend alot of time out side playing games and taking pictures. We were also able to go to the lake on Monday for a few hours which was alot of fun. Grant also got to go on his first plane ride with dad. He did great with it, he slept for most of it but when he was awake he enjoyed helping dad fly the plane. :)

My Favorite

Mothers Day & Lion King

My Mothers day gift this year was tickets to Lion King. This month is teacher appreciation so any one that works for the school district can get really good deals on tickets to shows, so we took the opportunity to go see Lion King. We ended up with FRONT row seats at the end of the middle row, which was AWESOME!!! It was so great to see everyone come running up the stage!! The whole time I was just amazed at everything from the costumes to the singing to being able to see the orchestra down below us. Jesse even loved it! Thanks Jesse for an AWESOME 1st Mothers Day! and Date night!!!

This is Grant with his new toy we got on actual mothers day weekend. :)

Thumb

We have been trying to keep Grant from sucking his thumb. I sucked my thumb for ten years and it was a hard habit to break. So we have been pushing the Binky, but I guess we didn't do it hard enough.

Graudation

I wish I could say I was done with school, but I am not. I still have another 12 weeks of Student teaching and then I can say I DONE! But UNLV doesn't have a graduation in August so I got to walk with my fellow classmates on May 8th. It was a bitter sweet, it was great to see all my friends but sad to turn around and go back to school on Monday. :) It was a long 3 hours to sit there and be called up for a good 5 seconds. WHOOO... haha.. So now I am on the count down till I'm really done, and then we are going to party!!! So stay tuned for you invitation to PARTY!!!!

Walking across the stage!!!

Me and Chubs. He really enjoyed the ceremony! Aunt Heidi and Uncle John

Happy Family

Before we left!

Grandma Davis

This past Monday my Great Grandmother passed away at the age of 92. It was something we knew was coming, and we were able to spend all day Sunday with her saying our good byes. Most people don't get to say that they have a great grandmother for 23 of their years and let alone a picture with your great-great-grandmother. She will be missed but we loved her dearly and she just adored Grant. My grandparents are together again, because 73 years of marriage wasnt long enough :)

BLOW OUT- Warning gross pictures

Grant has been really good at blowing out his diaper, and this morning he did he one of his best. All the way up his back and he was one proud boy for doing so..

Had to add one cute photo of him, in the cute shirt Grandma Owen got him.
