Our Buckaroo turns "2"!

We (us and the Darragh's) have been trying to start the potty training. The good thing he knows how to Pee-pee in the potty, however understanding the urge to go is a little different.
It will take some time!

Jamie enjoyed getting packages in the mail from all our love ones! It was like Christmas all over.
Thank you all!

Coming up for a birthday theme was not hard after Santa brought Jamie a stick horse. He loves to ride it...so we went all out "Western"!

We decided to go without good bags this go round...everyone received their on cowboy hat!

Everyone took turns riding the stick horses from the Dollar General...great find!

Dinner was quick and easy!

Then the "Daddy Durby"...boy did I catch heck for this! These Dad's competed big time and of course their knees where a little bummed! Ooops!

Then cake time.

A little play time.

Some more root beer!

And this is how the most Rootinist- Tootinist Cowboy in the west of Mebane
celebrated his second birthday!

The Gray's are ready!

Today the Daisy troop meet up at the fire station. This is a very sensitive subject for Aubrey! It went great. She has had many nightmares lately about fire in general. So, we held back on telling her where we going. I told her in the car and she started to tear up a bit and we decided to say a little prayer to help her be brave. She did great, she basically told the fire fighter what needed to happen if there was a fire. I was really proud of her. She knows it all! But, there was some business that we needed to take care of when we got home. First, we made our fire plan, we now have a meeting place. Then we tested our alarms. Last, we showed Aubrey where the extinguishers are located. We are now ready here in the Gray house.

"The Garden is Open", the Sisters' Garden

Aubrey is home!! She had a blast with Grandma Robin and Grandpa Bernie! She came home sporting her new goods!! She loves her new dress! After picking her up, we headed to a special place. It is called "The Sisters' Garden". It is located in Chapel Hill.

This Garden is owned by a set of twins that are 95 years old. They live off of Gimghoul Road. This garden is sorta a famous secret. There is a book out about this garden, it is named "The Garden is Opened". We learned about this last year and was not able to make it. Thank you Ms. Jeanette for sharing!

We came home planted some bulbs that they Sisters' gave us. We are so thrilled. Now Aubrey and Steven are working on their garden in the back! Soon, we can sit back and watch things grow!

Easter 2010

I have had trouble posting, here are the pictures that I have been able to get on the post. We had a great Easter, and we are getting ready for a full Spring...fasten your seat belts. Aubrey has made her trip to Nashville where she is spending a few days with her Grandpa Bernie and Grandma Robin. She has been counting down the days for her trip. We are looking forward to Grandma Marilyn coming next week. Spring is blooming such great surprises.
