Travel Town with Jill and the Kids

Jill and the kids met up with us over Christmas break at Travel Town.

Timmy and Grant on one of the trains

Jared watched out for Grant and Lili as they checked things out.

We took a little train ride around the park.

Somehow, Grant and Kate got free rides. Grant LOVES his cousins and Kate thinks Auntie Jill is just about the best thing ever.

Grant helped me by pushing Kate in the stroller. She doesn't generally like it when Grant "helps" her so I think she's barking directions at him in this picture.

Some of my all time favorite girls!

Later in the afternoon, Jill, Kegan, Lili, and I went shopping. Lili and I got to hang out while Jill and Kegan tried on clothes. Lili kept saying, "Joy Joy my friend." Awwww.

Bathing Beauty

I went to Target on January 1st and was appalled to see that they had all of their bathing suits out. Seriously? But apparently I wasn't too appalled to buy one for Kate. I had her try it on and she started modeling for me.

Hi, Sweet Boy!

Grant and Kate have been wanting to sit right next to each other for snacks and meals lately. Tonight at dinner, Kate kept taking Grant by the face and saying, "Hi, sweet boy." We caught a few minutes of their interaction. (The video is shrunk on my computer so you can see the full size one here: http://youtu.be/iZ1QKzHofAc)

Fun Times

Watching The Amazing Race Together
Joy: Grant, when you get bigger do you want to go on the Amazing Race with Mom?
Grant:(shaking his head violently) No, no
I guess I'll have to find another partner.

Playing Outside
Grant was playing with a couple of saucer sleds at his aunt's house. He lined them up and called them "Mama" and "Dada." We asked, "Where's the baby?" He looked around for a second then said, "Work." I always tell him his dad and grandpa are at work when he asks, so I guess he figures that anyone who's not there is at work.

Prayer 8/25/09

While we were giving thanks for our breakfast and lunch today, when we got to the part of helping Grant obey he burst out with "Yes!" both times. Is that like a toddler "Amen"?

Gymboree 8/25/09
As I was getting Grant ready this morning for Gymboree, I told him he was going to slide, climb, and play. He wasn't very excited. Then all of a sudden he asked, "Girls?" Apparently, climbing and sliding don't hold a candle to girls. Isn't it a little early to be excited about seeing girls??

Bible Story 10/11/09
We read the story about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem before bed. I pointed to the picture of Jesus in the manger and asked who it was. Grant answered, "Bible Story Baby." We'll have to work on that.

Eating "Cow" 11/28/09
Grant ate some pastrami tonight for dinner and wanted to know if it was chicken. I told him, "No, it's cow." He looked at the piece in his hand and said, "Mooooo...bye, bye cow!" then stuck it in his mouth. Later he asked for "more cow, please." I think I should've just said "beef..."

Prayer 12/11/09
Grant LOVES to pray. I think we're the only parents who tell their kid he has to take 3 bites before we can pray again. Otherwise, he would have us pray after every bite. He's now decided that HE wants to be the one to pray. He folds his hands, squeezes he eyes tightly shut, and whispers "Pray, pray, pray...AMEN!"

"Fragile" 04/22/10
Grant: Can I have that?
Me: No, it's fragile. Do you remember what "fragile" means?
Grant: "Don't touch"

Auntie Jill's Foot

Grant: Where did Auntie Jill's owie come from?

Me: She fell down.

Grant: No, hermit crab pinched it.

Me: A hermit crab pinched her fot?

Grant: I fink so.
