Swimming!

The best part of our Spring Break was taking Graham into the pool for the first time! We were going through a heat wave and we thought it would be a good time to take him into the water. Unfortunately, the water was freezing!! We also were having a little bit of a breeze so the second you got wet you got so cold. I think it was a little shocking for Graham so it took him a while to get used to it. We took him again a couple days later and it was much hotter and much better. He loved it!! I think we have another little fish in our family.
Look at the look on his face! Priceless!!

We lotioned him up and I got him this cute hat to keep the sun out of his eyes. What a cutie!

Just lounging.


Graham and I are ready to swim!

I took this picture because it is a good example of what Graham spends his days doing. He is so close to crawling!! He gets in this position and then immediately finds himself on his stomach where he flails like a fish. So cute, but frustrating at the same time because he gets so upset!

Getting ready for the water!

His first dip!

Two happy, but cold boys!

He loved sitting on the step, playing with his bath toys.

Close up

Splashing with his friends.

You can tell that even though it was cold, he loved it!



So, I thought this picture was so cute that I entered him into the Children's Place Beautiful Baby contest. I think he is a winner!! :)


I also wanted to write a milestone that Graham accomplished today. I was bathing him in the bath and he pulled himself up on the side of the bath all by himself!! I think he was pretty surprised tha he could do something like that. It looks like we are going to have to lower his bed in his crib so he doesn't jump out!!


Also, the weirdest thing happened to me last night. Something I only thought happened in movies. Haha! So, Travis and I like to have Graham come into bed with us every once in while, only when he gets up in the morning, sometimes he fall back asleep so we get a little extra shut eye. So, I was having a dream that Graham was next to me in bed and we all fell asleep. I woke up in a panice because Graham was no longer next to me, somehow he ended up on the edge of the bed, all tangled up in the sheets at the bottom. I frantically tried to dig through the sheets trying to find him, thinking that he was suffocating, but I couldn't find him. At this point, Travis had to wake me up because I was actually on the end of bed frantically grabbing all the sheets!! Apparently it took him a while to get me out of it before I realized it was a dream. How freaky!! I wanted to write it down because I don't want to forget it! I hope it never happens again, I didn't like that feeling.

Spring Break Disney Fun!

We just had the best Spring Break ever this year! Travis was off almost two weeks and we had just such a great time spending every second with each other as a family. Our first order of business was to go to Disneyland of course. The one thing that we really wanted to do was to take Graham on It's a Small World and so, to my amazement, we actually only had to wait 30 mins! It was totally worth it, he was mesmerized!
Since we were nearby, we decided to first ride Pirates of the Carribean. He is such a good sport while his parents drag him around everywhere.

Graham and Travis sitting on the ride after it was over. Graham is giving it the thumbs up! :)


Here we are in line for It's a Small World. The new parade was also about to start so it looks a lot more crowded than it really was.


Graham enjoyed trying to touch the bubbles that Travis were blowing.



All together on the ride! He is holding a little Mickey Mouse, I love it!


Graham and I on the ride. Look at his face!

What a cute boy!

On our way home. I wanted Travis to take a picture of his adorable outfit. White pants!


Here is a video of him on the ride, it's kinda dark but you can kinda tell that he was really amazed by the colors and sounds of the ride.

Wedding Day

I can't even believe it, but Travis and I were married four years ago today! Wow, it's amazing how fast time has flown by and we have been through so much in just our four short years of marriage. We have lived in four different places, two different states, both graduated from college, both gotten career jobs, gone on some amazing vacations to Hawaii, Europe, and Canada, and most importantly, had our beautiful little boy Graham. It has been the greatest adventure of my life, being married to Travis, and I am so grateful that we will be together forever. I love you, baby! :)


This is the first picture that Travis and I took together as a couple. We look so young!!



On our wedding day!


Four years later, more in love than ever, and ready for whatever comes next!


Also, just want to wish my brother-in-law, Taylor, a very happy birthday! He is celebrating a very important birthday today, don't worry Taylor, we all have to get there some time! :)

Easter Sunday

Yep, the Easter bunny made his way to our little apartment this year for Graham's first Easter. We had such a fun Easter day. Graham found his Easter basket and then my parents and my grandma came over for some yummy french toast and then we all went to church together. Then we all gathered at my Grandma's house with the rest of my extended family. We ate some great food and had a great time being together on this great holiday. I didn't any pictures from my grandma's house and Graham had on this adorable outfit, so of course, I held my own little photo shoot, so bear with me. :)
Where is Graham's Easter basket?

He found it!!
He loved to shake his filled eggs.

He got a great new book for me to read to him at night.


Look at all that candy that mom and dad got to eat!!

Grandma brought over another easter basket for him that was filled with a new book and some Winnie-the-Pooh bath toys.

My cute boys!


I know, what an adorable outfit!





Somehow, Travis got him to stand like this.



We took the photo shoot outside by the pool.

What a sweet face!



Just loungin'

I love this picture! :) What a sweet little boy!



Yep, I think he is ready for his close up.


My two cute boys again!
I know, too many pictures!! But I CAN'T help it! Hehe!

Here is a cute video of Graham finding his first Easter basket:
