Lots Happening in the Life of a One Year Old

We went to the mountains a few days before Easter, to try to see some snow. There wasn't much there, but we were able to find little pockets of snow in the shade. Grayson seemed intrigued at first, then just pretty much annoyed. He did not like being bundled up in the snow suit. Instead, he opted for his plain clothes.

The day before Easter, we went to an Easter egg hunt at our church. It was divided up into age groups. Luckily, Grayson didn't get mowed down by the older kids.








Here is my big boy waiting for the race to start. He looks so much older in a hat!
















An egg has been spotted--sort of.

He found the egg, but lost the hat.



























Then there was the visit with the Easter Bunny...and he didn't even cry.




The next morning was Easter. We went to church, then let Grayson play with things from his Easter basket. Two hot items were the Spiderman backpack and the bubble gun. He can't dip the gun in the solution, but he sure loved seeing the bubbles flying in the air.


Since he had practiced hunting for eggs, we figured he'd be a pro at the family egg hunt. We had brunch at the Woestman gathering in Santee. We filled up on food and then it was time.

Getting ready for the hunt.


Practicing. Man, he was into it. Do not touch his eggs!


On the prowl...

and he scored!


A few days later, G-man and I drove to El Centro to see my cousin Sarah, her husband Fred, and meet her beautiful daughter, Abbey. Abbey was born on February 5th and she is as precious as can be. She did not make one squeal the whole time we were at lunch. In addtion to the Wu family, we were able to see about 20 family members. We got to hear about all of the different earthquake stories and see the results of the 7.2 quake.
Last but not least, Grayson was able to hang out with some of his favorite peeps; his cousins Benjamin and Sammy.
