trips

we've been lucky enough to go on some fabulous trips lately.

we went to Boise to visit after my sister got knee surgery. graham was devastated when we left. he needs siblings and a dog.

coronado is my idea of a dream vacation. breakfast buffet, pool, amazing restaurants, and the del=heaven

pat, graham, and I also went to michigan and watched my brother's kids while him and his wife went on a cruise. we had a blast! I don't have one picture of the week because I forgot my phone in Utah. I was extremely sad. again, graham did not want to leave! he certainly loves his cousins and cool new toys to play with. tate was the best sharer of her shopping cart. seriously, his obsession with those is amazing.

thanks to my siblings who let us stay at their houses (erin + nate, wy + chels)! talk about the best hosts around with the neatest houses ever. I came home feeling inspired to make my house cuter. I needed the push. :)

life as of late..

I questioned even posting this...do you think I'm abusive? graham took quite the spill outside right after he started walking.
I cried for longer then he did.

having a toddler is the greatest. this pretty much captures all of his favorite things. garbage cans, straws, shopping carts, oreo eating, shopping (he really doesn't mind shopping), etc. the only thing we're missing is his obsession for being outside. he stands by windows and doors all day hoping we'll let him run wild. matt and I need to get our acts together and get our yard done. dirt just isn't as fun or as pretty as grass and flowers.

some day. some day.

he is a walking machine

graham started walking about a month and a half ago. boy, has my life changed.
he. is. crazy.
it is very fun though. he seems like such an adult now!



in other graham news: his favorite words to say are hi/hello/hey, thank you, mmmm, uh oh, ewww, daddy, ouch, moo, boo, bye bye...and I think that's about it. no mommy yet unless he's really upset. :(
he hates pretty much all food unless it's unhealthy. his favorites are fry sauce, oreos, soda, and ranch. we're bad parents.
he also loves cheesy smiles, squinting his eyes until they are basically closed. it's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen.
he's still extremely social and walking really helps.
he started climbing up on things yesterday. so annoying.
he finally sleeps through the night. phew.
he has entered the phase of not wanting to sit in his stroller, a shopping cart, or his car seat. pretty much my life is over.
he is more fun now than ever. love him!
