Hannah is SO mobile, and she is getting into EVERYTHING! She loves electrical cords, dirty shoes, dog food, dog water, and leaves...pretty much she loves anything that is "forbidden." She doesn't really know her own strength so she often grabs and pinches to get your attention. She fish hooked Greyson, and he was pretty sad about it so he yelled at her. We talked about how he didn't know how to be soft when he was little with Chi-chi, and he had to learn. Greyson decided he would teach her a lesson...
Hannah: (swats and Greyson and pinches his face) Ba-ba!
Greyson: No-no Hannah.....we have to be soft....(pets her like the dog)
Hannah: (grabs Greyson's cheek) Da-Da
Greyson: Hannah....you be soft...like this (pets her again)
I am sure this is the first of many big brother lessons, but I just love it when he tries to teach her things. He's so big!
James had Veteran's Day off so we decided to take the family to the zoo for a little outing. It was so great, because there were almost no other people. With the small crowds, Greyson seemed to be try all new things!
Greyson wanted to ride the elephants and play on the playground....he was having such a great time!
Hannah decided she was ready to be a cowgirl! After all, she is from Texas.
This is Hannah on the horse...she REALLY liked it! She kept pushing my hands away, because she wanted to ride it all by herself. We think she's going to be quite the little daredevil.
Greyson has always been too afraid to ride the ponies, but since his sister did he decided he was ready!
He LOVED it, and it was so fun to see him enjoy something new. It's amazing how much joy it brings you to see your little ones discover new things. He wanted to pet the animals in the barn...
We went back to our favorite picnic spot to have lunch...it's just perfect. The weather was fabulous, the leaves all around, no people....tons of birds for Greyson to terrorize.
On the way out...Greyson really surprised us when he decided he was ready to ride his 1st carousel. 
We had such a great family day....later on I got word from our photographer that our proofs were ready. They turned out WONDERFUL, and I can't wait to share some of them here. I am in the process of getting the CD so stay tuned.Friday, we went to play with our friends at the Choo-Choo Park in Castle Hills. He is so obsessed with trains so it was perfect. They were busy playing on the train...
And feeding the ducks/terrorizing them...
Running off some energy...
Hannah was busy playing in her friend's PopATot...quite possibly one of the coolest inventions EVER! It collapses like a camping chair and you can take it anywhere for a mobile play area for your baby. You can hook your toys to it and everything...love it!
Later on when we got home, Greyson decided he would start his own train service at the Shelton stop...
He kept telling me to sit in the red chair...."All aboard!" It was SO cute! I love that he has such an active imagination.Saturday, we went to Bachman Lake Park to see the airplanes take off and land at Lovefield. What a great idea...thanks Kim for being so creative! We saw lots of planes and even helicopters take off right over us. They had a park to play on and ducks to feed....what more could you need?
Hannah was busy playing with her "boyfriend" PJ and her friend Jett.
Greyson discovered a new way to swing, and he was super excited about it.
He fed the ducks with Daddy...
As if the day were not exciting enough....the kids slept FOREVER at nap time so James and I got to work on a really fun project. This picture may look like just an ordinary car in an ordinary garage, but that's just not right!
That is MY car in MY garage for the FIRST TIME EVER! YAY!!! After much complaining and whining, James and I finally cleaned out the garage so I could load the kids in some peace. No more Greyson running off while I try to load Hannah...no more Mommy get soaked while loading both kids in the rain....YIPPEE! It really doesn't take much to make me happy.....I am beyond excited!We had Tammy and Toby over last night for a family dinner, and Toby decided to be a dinosaur ride for the boys....that takes some strength when you're talking about lugging around our big boy!
This morning, Greyson woke up and wanted to watch a little TV. I was getting breakfast ready so I thought, "what the hay!" There was already a little doggie movie on (Lassie), and he HAD to watch it. I left the room and was working in the kitchen. I heard a little whimpering sound coming from the TV room so I went to investigate. What should I find but Greyson with his head in his hands giving little quiet sobs.
Mommy: What's wrong buddy?
Greyson: (big turned down lip and little sobs coming out) Lassie help her friends.
Mommy: Aww...that's so nice that she helps her friends, isn't it? (watching movie as Lassie falls in the river and looks like she's drowning)
Greyson: (big crying) Lassie's hurt....is she going to be ok?
Mommy: I don't know, buddy. Let's wait and see (crossing fingers that this isn't an Old Yeller ending)
Greyson: (Lassie miraculously jumps out of river but is all alone....again, more crying from little buddy) Lassie can't find her friends (tears)....Lassie is lost.
Mommy: She's going to find her friends, buddy. (Lassie finds boy at school)
Greyson: Oh yay, Mommy! Lassie finds her friends. What a nice doggy!
It's amazing to me that a 2 year-old can be so in tune with a movie. He surprises me everyday....growing up so much. What a sweet and soft spirited boy we have....I feel very blessed.
