1 year/XMAS pics

These are a few of my favorite pics of Grant's 1 year/Xmas pictures. Lauren did a great job! It was raining that day so we still have to go back and do some outdoor pics too.









Happy 1st Birthday Grant

Happy Birthday Grant!!! We love you so much!
Here are the pictures Lauren took for his first cake smash. I laughed so hard..it was so cute!












Cozy Coupe

Grandma and Grandpa Muller gave Grant an early Christmas present yesterday...his first car...The Cozy Coupe. He loves it...so funny trying to climb in and out without using the door of course! Andrew says he does it Dukes of Hazard style.

Bayou Wildlife Park

This Thanksgiving my parents, my sister's family and my younger brother Brad came to Houston to visit. On Saturday we went to the Bayou Wildlife Park in Alvin, TX (about 30 minutes from us) and had a great time. We all laughed like crazy and will definitely visit again!
They have a variety of animals from llamas, rhinos, alligators, deer and many endangered species. You ride a 45 minute tram ride through the park and you can feed the animals from your bucket. You definitely get to see the animals up close and personal. Grant sat with Andrew most of the tram ride but was interested in the animals when they came to get food from us. Just getting to the park- Already got to feed the lamas who came up to the car
Checking out the giraffes before getting on the tram

Cousin Madeline, grandma and grandpa-Madeline squealed the whole time. She loved it!

Taking off-let the fun begin!

We were startled when we turned around to see some sort of weird cattle slobbering all over our diaper bags. I love Andrew's face!


Grant liked him!

"Whoa! That camel is close!"


Grant checking out the animal while Dad is not so sure of it

"Look at him eat! He is messier than me!"

The llamas would not leave us alone. They would run alongside the tram and car begging for food.

More llamas!


Forgot what this is called but he was big!

I was most scared of the ostriches. They can be so mean, but my Dad was brave enough to feed them.


This camel was practically in the tram trying to get food from my Dad.


My sister, baby Caroline, Madeline and Uncle Paul. Love this pic!



I think these next 2 are my favorites-Uncle Brad deleting pics on our camera so we had room to take more-not realizing a camel behind him.....

AGHHH!!! "Give me some food!!" Having fun! Look at the faces on Grant and Andrew

Hanging out with the deer

The deer is way too tired to smile for pics.

San Antonio Marathon

After the finishing in front of our hotel! Mommy is a little rough!

Last weekend we (including Chiefy!) went to San Antonio. I ran the Marathon on Sunday while Grant and Andrew were my cheerleaders. It was pretty warm and humid for a marathon, but I still finished under 4 hours and I am happy to have a marathon under my belt after having Grant. Grant did not do so great at restaurants-since he is walking pretty good now all he wants to do is be moving. Sitting in highchairs is no fun!

Grant continues to surprise us-yesterday I told him to blow Daddy a kiss good-bye and he did it without me having to show him first. Next week my family is heading to here for Thanksgiving and Grant's 1st birthday! We can't wait!

Gymboree Halloween Party

Yes I am very late on posting these pictures.....Grant had lots of parties to attend for his first Halloween. The last party he attended was one at Gymboree. He had lots of his friends there and Andrew came to watch him play too. Because he would be crawling, walking and climbing I decided not to put him his puppy costume and instead have him be a football player (Daddy went to Sports Authority to buy the eye stickers!). He looked super cute and had lots of fun with his friends. He was exhausted when we left.

On Halloween Aunt Christine, Uncle Paul and his cousins Madeline and Caroline came to trick-or-treat at our house. Grant only made it to Barb and Pat's (his babysitter and Texas grandma) to trick-or-treat..then he threw a fit and was ready for bed!!! Mason and Grant


Grant loves to push the ball and the huge roller at Gymboree.

Bubble Time!


Princess Leila and Grant

"I love shakers!"

"And balls!"
