Grayson is broken

Here it is folks...an x-ray that even an untrained eye can read. This is Grayson's collar bone after an accident on the playground at school. He actually held up pretty well considering the injury. Grayson returning home from Urgent Care wtih his bravery stickers and a new shoulder brace. (I think his arms look like scarecrows arms the way he is holding them up)
It was a rough couple of nights and some slow moving days but here is the trooper is ready to return to school. We put his brace on the outside of his short to help remind his friends and himself that he has an injury. It isn't a problem getting him to wear the brace because he absolutely loves it.

Not even a broken collar bone will keep this kid from supporting his Vikings!

A Birthday fit for a Princess!

Our Small Wonder is 1! We had a wonderful birthday party full of nice weather, family and friends. Actually...it was all family...all 28 of us. We are blessed to have so much family so close. Auntie Dingo drove in from the Quad Cities with her two girls, Uncle Matt and his family was here, second cousins, aunts and uncles...whew...so much fun.

Reagan woke from her afternoon nap with a fever....what a bummer on your birthday. Hooray for medicine!

Yeah a bounce house. This was so much fun...we think Grayson jumped for 3 hours.

Check out this cake ensemble...It was not planned in advance that this would look like this...It was a coordinated effort brought to you by my Mom and Sister. Aren't the crowns awesome? Lovingly made by my Mom...and decorated by my sister.

I have a very talented family...the Happy Birthday sign was made by my sister. Isn't it fantastic.

Check out Reagan's new hair style...it is her new grown up style...now that she is 1.

Yummy...Cake!!!

Straw use and sibling affection...

Reagan finally uses a straw. YEAH! No more carting around a sippy cup.

Grayson got cozy with Reagan after dinner at Noodles this week. He tells us that he wants to marry Reagan someday. When I tell him that isn't going to work he assures me it is ok because he will wait until she is older.

It's time to try a spoon

Eating applesauce with your fingers is just disgusting. We like to get our kids started as early as possible with a spoon. Let's see if she can do it...looking good so far...

Sweet success....the spoon has hit the mouth and there was even food on it.
She is so proud she has raised her eyes to the heavens!
