Spring Break

Last weekend we joined some of my family in San Diego...
It consisted of lots of sun, ocean, march madness, food and sand!

Grayson explored the sand for the first time.

While playing he tried to take a bite,
but soon learned how disgusting that was!

While shoveling Grayson soon found himself in a hole...

Dad put him inside... it only restrained him for a little bit!

Building sandcastles with mom- they didn't
last long with Little G around!

On the pier... we didn't stay long. It was a little shaky!

The first morning we arrived we went for a walk.

I didn't intend on Grayson finding the water...

The picture and video below show the result!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

There was no pinching our family last week!

We celebrated the holiday with a trip to the bowling alley.

Grayson liked the arcade area best.
He and dad enjoyed racing cars together.

Grayson, Grandma Pittam and other green cousins!

Grayson had tons of fun! He also has started
giving more and more hugs. Here he is hugging his
best bud Graham. We sure had a festive St. Patrick's day!

Arizona Science Center

Last Tuesday I went with some of my family to the Science Center and we had a great time. It was fun and educational. For Grayson and most of the kids it was a fun place to play!

Strider entertained the kids by riding on a tight rope bike.Strider also found many activities to entertain himself.Grayson found a playhouse and enjoyed
playing peekaboo in the window...Grayson was also very entertained with this ball game...

Daddys Boy

Look what I found...

These look fun...

Ready to fill Dads shoes!

Ready to play football like Daddy too!

Ok-- maybe not quite yet!

But I sure am trying!
Grayson loves his Dad and is trying
to be more and more like him each day.

Monkeyin' Around the Zoo

Recently Grayson discovered that his room has a monkey theme. He enjoys finding the monkeys and he will point to each one and exclaim, "ooo ooo ahh ahh"! Even when he wakes up you can find him standing in his crib making monkey noises at all of them. It's quite adorable. So of course monkeys are what Grayson loved to see when I took him to the Phoenix Zoo yesterday for the first time...

He was glued to the gate. However, Little G also enjoyed acting like a monkey as he went around the zoo. He loved to hold or climb the gates and peek in at the animals.

Climbing out of the stroller!A close second to the monkeys were the goats. He enjoyed walking around the petting portion of the zoo with his friend Eila. He would say "soft soft" as he tried to touch them.

Below is video of Little G in action...

Grayson had a lot of fun, but I think mom
had an even better time watching him!
