Little Flirt

My best friend, Nancy, is in town while I am here. She currently lives in Missouri and I miss her and her family a ton! Nancy and I used to pretend we were sisters. Wait a minute, we still pretend we are. Here are some pix of Grant and Nancy's adorable girls.

In Order: Grant, Emma, Clara (we call her Mae Mae), and Eliza.

I think Grant was in heaven being surrounded by 3 beautiful girls. Here he is getting ready to smooch Mae Mae.

Super Grant

We have decided to let you all in on a little secret- Grant has super powers! That's right...he is super cute! While he was getting toys out of Grandma Naenae's closet he found a cape and handed it to me so that I could put it on him. It cracked me up because he only had on his diaper and cowboy hat (he loves that hat).

He's off...

Even Super Grant needs a break. Time for a snack and a good signing video.

Papa takes Grant to the Rodeo

Well, we are currently in UT and Grant is having tons of fun! On the 23rd Papa took the family to the Days of '47 Rodeo and boy did Grant love it! He is totally obsessed with horses. Papa and Grandma Naenae got Grant some neat cowboy gear. He has a hat, boots, wranglers and a belt and he sure looks cute.

Papa and Grant at the TRAX station.

It was a big night for Bug. His first rodeo and his first "train" ride. CHOO, CHOO!!!

Grant couldn't take his eyes off of the horses. He was also continually making a horse noise during the rodeo.

Here are Uncle Justin and Aunt Cassandra. He proposed at the rodeo...it was awesome. Congrats you two!
And here is Grant eating a snack...can he get any cuter?

Mommy's Hair Salon

Today I cut Grant's hair. It ended up a bit shorter than I had planned but I think with a little practice I will be giving Cubby Cuts a run for their money. Truth be told, I might have shed a tear because now his hair doesn't get as curly and he seemed a little traumatized when I used the clippers. He did okay with the scissors on top...kind of. Anyway, no matter what-he is adorable!

Seriously though, what was I thinking when I decided to cut his hair 2 days before we go to UT to visit family and also right before his 1 year old pictures?!?! Perhaps it was poor judgement or just plain stupidity. :-)

Coach Grant

Every morning we go running as a family and Grant has come to expect that. Today as we put on our shoes Grant said, "Run, run, run!" We told him that he was right and that we were going to go running. Once he was in his stroller and we were heading down the road he started yelling, "Run, run, run!!!" He continued to do that periodically so Adam appointed him to be our running coach. It is pretty hard to stop running when a 1 year old is yelling at you!

Half Moon Bay

Grandma Naenae came for Grant's birthday so we decided to head out to Half Moon Bay for a beach day. It was loads of fun!

While we were there Grant tasted some sand but also enjoyed some seaweed. He loved the water even though it was a bit cold

Hubba Hubba Grandma Naenae. Grant was glad to hang out with Grandma at the beach.

We found a jelly fish (don't worry...it was dead so it didn't sting us) :-)

We also found a dead crab. Grant met some friends named Owen and Haden at the beach and they were excited to place the crab on top of their sand castle.

And of course Grant's favorite thing to play with... mom and Naenae's flip flops.
