baseball

After the Easter egg hunt and a quick nap we headed downtown to the baseball game.  We had some great seats in the shade and Graham did great!

Although he was a little camera shy.

easter morning

The Easter bunny brought Graham some very yummy treats this year.

We dyed some eggs to hide, and Graham loved putting throwing the eggs into the dye.  Each time he'd throw an egg in the dye would splash all over.  He thought it was pretty hilarious.  

Plunk!

Then, rather than giving the eggs a chance to be hidden, he squished this one instead.  It was pulverized before too long.   Poor egg never saw it coming.

A few did make it outside to join the plastic eggs for the hunt.

Graham's egg hunt ended with a very special prize from the Serafines the Easter bunny!  He loves it.  He can't get enough of throwing the ball in the basket, although he still is just a hair short.  : )  Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa Serafine!  We loved having you and we had a GREAT weekend!

On a side note, we took a few of these pictures, all of which Graham and Matt are looking at the neighbor.  Our neighbor is extra diligent in cleaning off his driveway, and was doing so Easter morning.

graham's best saturday

This last Saturday we had a fabulous day.  It was warm, but cloudy, which made for perfect weather to go to the Spring Training fields.  We headed over to where the Padres and Mariners play, thinking the day's game was on the main field, but to our surprise, it was not.  Even better, the games were being played on the  practice fields, which meant we didn't have to pay, it wasn't near as busy, and there was loads of grass space for Graham to explore.  Perfection.  We took our picnic blanket and camped out with our Chick-fil-A lunch, and enjoyed an afternoon of baseball.  

See Graham's baseball?  One of the players gave it to him.  They reached over the fence and handed him the ball while he and Matt were standing by.  Super cute.  He loved it, too.  He carried it around all afternoon throwing it and picking it up.

When the game was over, we started making our way out of the park and some workers were at the entrance with their little booth selling programs and score cards and whatnot.  They asked Graham if he wanted a little baseball hat.  It's the cutest little Padres hat ever.  Then they gave him a sucker-which he loved.  As we were starting to walk away one of the ladies asked if he'd like a mitt!  What?  Hilarious.  So here's lil' G with his new hat, baseball, sucker, and mitt.  He really has no idea how lucky he got that day.  : )

random happenings of january and february

I realized I had all these pictures in my camera that I hadn't done anything with, so they are all going in this one post of some of the random things we've done over the last few months.

We headed over to the Whitetank Nt'l park to see what it was all about.  It wasn't too bad, there were lots of picnic and camping areas around.  Nothing like camping in Idaho, as there were no real mountains and trees, but it was wilderness-y.

We packed ourselves a lunch, but all Graham wanted to do was climb up and down the rocks.

And climb on anything that was on the rocks, including Daddy.

There are quite a few hiking trails up there.

And huge cactus.

Graham loves helping wash the car.  He doesn't like it when I interrupt his water time to take his picture.  

Sometimes we wear capes.

Silly bathtub hair-dos. 

One morning Graham woke up a little early, and a few hours later I found him like this.  He found his blanket, plopped himself right onto the floor and went to sleep.  It was pretty funny.

After Graham's last Dr. appointment I got him an ice cream cone.  He was pretty traumatized by the MA at the office, as he recognized her as the mean lady that hurts him.  Poor guy.  He didn't eat the ice cream, though.  Not interested.  He just played in it until it was nearly melted.

A family in our ward owns a pet store that's known as "Glendale's unofficial zoo."  We went to go check it out and Graham loved the little chicks.  There were tubs and tubs of chicks all over the floor and little kids could look at and hold them.  

Graham tried to catch them, but they were too afraid of him.
