HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY GRAYSON SCOTT!

Grayson wanted a cowboy cake and cowboy boots this year…and that’s exactly what he got!   Buddy and Susan gave him his first pair of real cowboy boots and Wranglers…. they are adorable and Grayson loves his new boots!  Aunt Jessica and family gave him a real cowboy hat, along with some spurs, a pistol, handcuffs and the whole get up.  He is having a blast shooting his gun and cuffing us and then taking us to jail.  He also got a fancy set of binoculars from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kimmie that he uses to find the “bad guys!”
He’s also been asking us for “fishies” for the last year or so, so Mamma and Dadda finally gave in and got him some goldfish to go along with Billy the hamster….yes, he is still alive! 

While in Laguna, Grayson and Colbie really got used to and enjoyed sleeping in the same room together.  We recently surprised him with bunk beds so that they could have slumber parties.  What were we thinking, right?!  We put them together Wednesday night after he fell asleep and then put him on the bottom bunk so that he would wake up in it.  You should have seen his face when he came into our room the next morning!  It was quite the surprise!

Colbie had her appropriate party attire on!  Sitting on the cooler and waiting for the guests to arrive!

What’s a party without a pinata (or “hyatta”) as Grayson calls it!

Here are some other pictures I took over the past couple of weeks….
I let the kids make sugar cookies a little while back.  Yes…it was a royal mess, but they had fun!

It rained a couple of weeks ago and we were able to see a rainbow.  You don’t get to see these too often around here!  We went for a walk & scooter ride in the rain and then came back and did some skinny dipping in the pool…..the kids did that is!

Little nudy swimmers….swimming in the rain!

A streaking snorkeler on the loose!

We made breakfast for dinner one evening.  This was fun for the kids and pretty yummy too!

To jump start Grayson’s birthday weekend, we took the kids to Yuma’s new water park on Saturday.  I was super impressed with everything.  They had slides and pools for all ages and we were actually able to take the kids on all the slides except a few, as long as they went in our laps.  The kids were both conked out in the car on the way home from too much fun!

Thank you to everyone who made it to Grayson’s birthday party yesterday and made it a special day for our big four year old!
