Toy Story 3

We took Grant to the movies for the very first time. It was a huge success! When we were in the lobby we got some Reece's candy and walked around watching Grant look at all the displays. He thought the movie displays were very fascinating. He especially liked the motorcycle one. The wheels lit up and he tried multiple time to climb up on it! When we got into the movie theater it was still light in the room so we settled in. You should have seen Grant's eyes when he saw the huge screen! So all during the previews and commercials he standing on the ground and jumping. He was telling us all about what he was watching. It was so cute. I wish I had a movie camera. Good thing it was a family movie and there were other kids there! The funniest part was during this one commercial/short movie when there were all these ducks quacking. Grant yells "DUCK!" and he starts quacking really loud. Then the cows came and he yells "COW" and starts mooing really loud. Lance and I were almost crying because it was so funny! He stayed awake during the whole movie, which surprised me because we went to a 7:00 viewing and the movie did start until 7:25pm. IT was such a fun experience and Lance and I will definitely take him to the movies again!

You're My Best Friend

Lance and I have our wedding anniversary coming up in a couple weeks. Yesterday we went running on the beach and actually planned out our anniverssary weekend.....we are so excited about it! As I was driving in the car today a special song came on the radio. Tim McGraw's "My Best Friend" is a special song to us because we had a good friend sing it at our wedding. We love the lyrics and the general meaning behind it all. We really are each others Best Friend. Here are the lyrics:

I never had no one that I could count on
I've been that down so many times
I was tired of hurtin' so tired of searchiin'
Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin' I'd never known
And for the first time I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

You stand by me you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
And oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

Mohawk Man

Auntie Tamra gave Grant a Mohawk....and it was adorable!! We even went to dinner with it!

My good friend Sarah's wedding

Lance and I went to my very good friend Sarah's wedding at the end of May. Sarah and I played soccer together when we were 6 and then we went to Jr High and High School together and have been very good friends since Jr High. We got into to trouble together and had way too much fun together! We were so excited to be apart of her special day. She was a stunningly beautiful bride! The wedding was beautiful. It was located out in the Livermore valley at one of the wineries. We had a great night with some great friends and enjoyed some adult time while Grant stayed at home with Mimi and Grantpa. We even went out to a bar after the wedding with everyone! Here are some fun pictures from Sarah and Andrew's wedding!

Fun with the Hose

I remember playing in the water with the hose when I was little. We loved to play in the water and squirt each other. I also completely remember drinking water from the hose! When we were at my mom's house in mid May Grant was so happy to be nakey and play in the water! Here are some super funny pictures of him and Lance!

Roommates

So while all of our stuff was in transit to California, we still lived in Chicago for an extra week. Jamie was still coaching soccer at the High School and Lance had a last minute trip for work. Our very gracious and giving friends, John and Carrie Larson, allowed us to stay in their basement, cat and all. So we moved in with them! It was actually so much fun to live with them for 7 days just before we left. Everyone had a crazy schedule, but it was a great time. Grant and Jay thought it was the best thing in the world. They got to wake up every morning to each other and wake up after naps to each other. Here are some super cute pictures from when they were roommates!!

Packing and Moving

We got our house all packed and ready to go. The mover's came, got all of our stuff, and then loaded it up. It was very smooth, however Grant did not like it when they took all the boxes. We were so excited for the movers to come and then when they left it was a weird feeling. Is this really happening? Are we really moving back to CA? Although the movers took our stuff, we still had 7 days to stay in Chicago with our friends....

(Even though this happened a month and half ago, I am just now catching up on blogging!!)
