Mini Vacation with the Kraft family!

We have made this an annual thing, vacation with the Krafts that is! We always have such a blast. Its truly amazing that we can cram 4 adults and 6 children into a hotel room and not go completely insane. Our children get along incredible well. This year was 4 days at Kalahari. Kristine and Kevin drove several hours with the girls to join us for lots of fun. We spent hours and hours at the water park but we also enjoyed other amenities that the indoor park had to offer. The kids loved backlight mini golf and the "play area" which consisted of a GIANT play area with lots of levels to climb and the "slide of death" as us adults called it. We enjoyed tons of not-so-healthy food and drinks. Whats not to love? Of course, there is always some sort of glitch that tries to damper the fun. Grayson became feverish on day 3 and was out for the count. Poor little man was miserable. He ended up feverish for 3 days. Grant was a crazy little man on the slides and decided he wanted to climb up the slide and before I could grab him out of harms way, he fell. He gashed himself right under the eye, leaving it black and blue. He didn't let it bother him though, he was ready to get back into the water in no time. Grant also decided that he was boycoting sleep while we were away from home. He was awake most of the night every night. Thank goodness daddy saved the day every morning and took him for walks to allow the rest of us to sleep. He was quite the handful but he was just exploring everything and having a great time.
It was nice to get home to our beds but its always sad when vacation is over, especially when we go with great friends. I can't wait for our next adventure!

15 months!

Im a little late with this post because life has been incredibly busy. How has 15 months gone by since I held you in my arms for the first time?! Grant, there is never a dull moment with you. You keep us very busy. Your latest favorite pastime is climbing the stairs and climbing on top of the kitchen table with your arms up in the air saying "tada" it's adorable and scary all at the same time.

You are saying lots of words, such as, up, mama, dada, more, ball. You mimic lots of other words too. You are starting to point to body parts and it's so cute. You poke us in the nose and say "boop" thanks to daddy for teaching you that one! 

Your personality is really shining lately. You smile all the time and your always happy to greet mommy and daddy when we come home.... I think you secretly get more excited to see daddy! You give the best bear hugs and sweet little kisses. Ahhh you are an amazing little toddler. I love watching you grow!
