Greyson the artist

Greyson loves to draw and color lately and isn't he lucky that mommy is able to do a pretty decent outline for him.  Coloring books are never what he wants to color in, so we have to be creative and come up with different things everyday to draw. 

Batman cave anyone...I have had to draw one of these twice for him so far...They are getting better each time haha.  I forsee many other pictures being draw this summer!

Daddy day

Tomorrow is daddys day. We celebrate this hard working man who allows me to stay home and raise our two kiddos! That gift can't be replaced. He is our rock, our tackle master, Greys surfing buddy and Emerson's everything.

We love you daddy!

Zoo

I took the kids to the wild animal park on Monday. We played hookey from all things, loaded up our lunches and went to go find the monkeys. Emerson loved it. We hadn't been since her first birthday and this time she really understood. Greyson was a trooper. Walked the entire way, up all the hills, helped read the map, everything.

It was a fun day and we can't wait to go back with daddy to watch the cheetas run.

Cinco de Mayo

Playing outside.. Getting all messy and sweaty. That's what fun's all about. We've been busy, I've been lacking in this blog once again.

E A S T E R

It's Easter and we are having a fun day so far...it isn't over yet!!!  At this moment the kids are both resting, Emerson is sleeping and Grey is watching a movie.  We've gone to Riviera Beach and we've been to the pool.  Why both you may ask?  Because our daughter doesn't understand that she can't swim, that the ocean is strong and that the water is FREEZING! I got so much exercise chasing her down, so did Geoff.  So we looked at each other, consulted with Grey and decided the pool was a way better option!  So we left.  But before we did I snapped a few shots of the kiddos.  I'm slightly obsessed with Emerson's swimsuit, I will have to buy the 2T also, in order for it to fit all summer, its neon and its great!  Greyson is all about the boogie board.  He wants to surf on it so bad, but he still has a bit of fear that the ocean is going to suck either it or him away.  We are explaining it all to him...
So here we go with an overload of pictures.

 This was Em the other day, sharing her snack with Chopper

 The kids dying Easter eggs on the patio

 Easter morning...the kids going through their baskets.

 The Easter Bunny balanced a lot of eggs on mommy's vases, Grey thought it was funny

 Searching for the real eggs in the front "yard"...one day we'll have a yard instead of the common area haha

 Emerson and her bitty booty

 Daddy and Grey waving at the train

 Someone went under...freezing

Dancing on the boogie board

Then we headed to the pool....mommy was too tired to bring the camera. =)

Easter Bunny

The kids and I joined the Shwams for a visit to Irvine Park for their Eggstravaganza.  It was a lot of fun.  The kids did the Easter egg hunt, sat on the bunny's lap, and ended the day with face painting.  I tried my darndess to get a cute pick of both of the kids.  Grey did a great job smiling, Emerson is at 'that' age and is impossible to get a photo.  She is always moving. 

Oh hello again

Hi there...miss me, haha. Just kidding.  I know most of you see what I'm doing online all the time.  Facebook, both personal and business, Pinterest and my Emerson Grey Designs site, I've completely neglected my family's site.  Shame on me.  So what has been going on with us?  A whole lot of chaos.  Emerson has come into her own and is so funny, so loud and just plain cute.  She is also a PEANUT!  We had her 18 month apt today and she is only 20 lbs. 4 oz. that puts her in the 3%.  Yup, this no dairy thing makes for a teeny tiny girlie. 

Brother aka Greyson is a giant!  He has gotten so tall that I just packed up most of his shorts and pants and had to get him all new ones.  Yup, thanks to the tax return that was possible =)

Our little fam is ticking along.  Daddy has been working from home the past two weeks and it is supposed to continue into the middle of next week.  It was an adjustment at first, cause lets be honest, moms have their schedules.  Daddies don't usually know that schedule, so they, ya know are now in it.  We adjusted quickly and it has kind of been fun.  The kids have been crazy excited.  I think Emme has become a daddy's girl...um, not ok.  haha.  Here is just a little of our life lately...hanging out together, with family and with friends. 

Wow

Ok...wow! It has been way too long since I have updated this thing, but i am crazy busy doing all the other computer stuff I do...all day long. My Emerson Grey Designs site is what I focus on most, as I am sure most of you know. I also spend most of my time on Pinterest. It is my newest love. I have gotten clients from it left and right and I am soooo thankful for this free form of advertising. I can't even describe what an amazing creation it is. Way better then Facebook.





So I apologize for neglecting to keep up on the family side of my blogging. Here is the worlds quickest recap of the holidays and most of January.
