tubing

today we went to lake pat in cleburne and went tubing. we had a blast. my mom, dad, jill, colton, emma, graden, me, alan, and grayson got to go. everyone braved the tube except for my parents and grayson (of course). grayson had a lot of fun - it was his first boat ride and he loved it.

july fourth with friends and family

he looks worn out!

july fourth fishing

alan and kris went to hamm's creek to go fishing this morning. they ended up getting stuck and had to be pulled out of the mud!

rolling over

grayson rolled over all by himself today. he was playing on the floor and i looked up and he was on his stomach!

good job grayson!

this was from a few days later when he rolled over for the second time! he looked so content.

exer-saucer giggles

grayson got a new toy and he loves it! this is a video of him in it at atlas.

alan's jeep

alan finally got his jeep! he has wanted one for so long and he finally found what he was looking for. we are going to have so much fun in it.

rookie

rookie is our lab mix. we have got him on october 31, 2006 from the humane society when he was about two months old. we are so lucky to have a good dog. he is always ready to play and he never meets a stranger (person or dog). he welcomed grayson home and he even gets up with me in the middle of the night to feed him. rookie loves to lick grayson's toes!

taking him home from the humane society

i can't believe he used to be small enough to sit in my lap!
