4th of July Photo Shoot

As pictured above...Mom took way too many pictures!
Without Strider here I needed something to do...
Enjoy Grayson's faces- they say it all!

We sure enjoyed our 4th together by playing outside, attending a ward breakfast and watching fireworks out in Queen Creek.

Jumping through June part 2

Alright to end my June recap.... We celebrated a fun Father's day with all the father's in our lives. The next day Strider and I celebrated our 3 Year Wedding Anniversary! Then Strider's sister Tiffany got married on June 25th. Below are a few pictures from the wedding day- which was fabulous! There really wasn't a better way to say good-bye to Strider than after a morning in the Temple. Strider left that afternoon to drive to Maxwell AFB in Alabama for Officer's Training. He will be there 5 weeks and must complete this training before he starts at his military medical school in August.

Jumping through June part 1

I'll start this off right... since most look at this blog
because of my little cutie!!
I just love Grayson. He has taken off this summer. He's so busy, but so much fun! He is learning at a rapid speed these days.

The Girls!

Grayson at a park nearby the beach. He got a buzz!

Swinging with a great view of the beach.

Building- no I mean wrecking cousin Kenli's sand castle.

Loving the sand and being buried.... Only for a minute
and then get me out!

We met up with some Hinton cousins that we're coming
on vacation as well. What a blast!

We toured the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier.

Grayson enjoyed seeing all the airplanes... he's a little obsessed right now.

The whole gang

These last pictures are from the mall's splash pad with cousin Graham.

Keeping cool in the hot Arizona summers!

Sometimes Grayson just preferred to run around the place.

Jana, Grayson and Graham!

Missed Moments in May

The end of May was filled with cousin fun!

Grayson got to play with Graham.

They decided to take their fun outside and play with the hose...

Grayson wasn't sure about the spraying water and so I
had to turn it down, but Graham was all for it and crawling
around trying to get a closer look.

Grayson taking charge of the hose.

Grayson found this hard hat that he loves to wear around.

All smiles!

Mid to end of May took us to Seattle to visit my sister and her 2 girls.
Strider and I watched the 3 kids while they were on vacation.Grayson fell in love with bikes while we were there!

Before Strider came we actually had a day of sunshine
and the kids got to play in the water!

This is Grayson with his cousin Addy.

This water was much better than the
water/rain that came the rest of the week!

We visited the Seattle Science Center and got to see their
Butterfly Exhibit. The butterflies liked landing on Strider best.

Acting silly with the funny Doctor glasses...

These last pictures are from Grayson's airport experience
to and from Seattle. He loves airplanes!

Excited for the adventure...

This is Grayson waiting in the gate and pointing and yelling at
all the other airplanes that went by.

He was so good!

On the way home trying to peek out at the plane/wing.

These buckles kept him occupied for quite some time...
I hope he's always this enjoyable to fly with!
