Strawberry Patch

I have been slacking on blogging lately. We have been pretty busy around here and honestly, I haven't been taking many pictures. I am going to try my best to start back up this week!

To celebrate Mother's Day we went to the strawberry patch with my sister and nieces (Moses was working). The kids loved being outside in the fresh air, the goats and picking the strawberries. Garrison ate more than he picked and Grayson was very particular about the strawberries she chose!

All Smiles (and no cavities)

I took Gigi to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. She was so excited. It's a pediatric dentist, so they have a play area inside that rivals Chick-fil-A's.

She sat there so calmly and let the hygienist clean her Singalella (Cinderella) teeth... She refers to them as that - it has turned out to be a great way to keep her motivated to clean them.

Once again, I was impressed by her self-control. She was smiling and was so good though the whole procedure. Plus there was an added bonus - no cavities!

A little Graysonism for you - after the dentist was finished she asked: "can I have my sucker now?" (She usually gets suckers from her pediatrician). The doctor had a great laugh over the thought of his office handing out suckers.

Waiting Patiently

All Finished - All Smiles!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

About six weeks ago, I got to take Gigi to her first circus! It had been a LONG day already, we had been up since 5a since Garrison had surgery that morning.

I was not going to miss this opportunity to take her because I thought she would really enjoy it. Plus, I had free tickets through Macaroni Kid. Well, turns out I was wrong. She really didn't enjoy it much, she liked the motorcycles. And to top it off, it was hardly free after $12 snowcones and $22 light up wand-thingy!

I am thinking we will try the circus again, maybe when she is a little older!

I didn't take too many pictures because it was so dark. I was also doing what every mom does best - trying to keep her entertained/occupied while I attempted to enjoy the show myself.

Ahh, the light up wand! I can't believe I paid $22 for that!

St. Patty's Day!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day, for the first time ever, on Saturday. We donned our green, headed to some local festivities (including a parade) and had a small cookout afterwards. It was Gio's first parade since he was 3 months old. It definitely won't be his last... he loved every second of it! Gigi did what she does best and found some dirt to play in during the parade. The girl just LOVES dirt! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Enjoying some Rock Candy. Trying to keep him occupied - he doesn't like to sit for long!

Done sitting - into Daddy's arms!

On the little train! Couldn't get a pic of them both looking - that figures!

Scopin out the dirt situation!

My boy and I

Grandma havin some fun!

Waiting for the parade to start!

Pure Joy!
