Eric planned a baseball road trip with his brothers again this year so Graham and I packed up and headed to Utah. We planned our trip to stay for 2 weeks because the first week was Eric's trip and we didn't want to be home alone and the second week was my little sister, Morgan's graduation from high school.
Graham and I did a lot of playing with the family and seeing old friends. We went to Woods Cross's (my hometown) annual Memorial day breakfast, the cemetery, the zoo, Orem to help Morgan with school stuff and see some family and friends and we played at grandma and great grandma's house a lot! He loved every bit of it. The animals were his favorite. He fell in love with my mom's cats and grandma's dogs. Now, I think he is missing them and all of the kids that were there to play with him. We'll have to make the trip again soon. Luckily, grandma and my sisters can fly our here anytime they want to play!
Graham put all of his toys around the cat and he didn't even move. Then Graham sat down and started talking to him. It was so cute!
Graham was spoiled with treats and cookies bigger than his head almost every day!
Visiting my great grandma ElDean and great grandpa Alton's grave.
Eating Cheetos and watching his shows.
Memorial day breakfast. They have a helicopter land in the baseball field. Graham was amazed by it and now will not stop talking about helicopters.
At the fishing pond.
In front of the "BIG truck!" Graham is obsessed with trucks and every time he sees a truck, he yells "Big truck!"
Graham took an extremely long nap one day. Getting worried about him, my mom walked past the room and heard him giggling. When she opened the door, she found him standing up in his crib, pulling all of her scrapbooking and stamping stuff out of the drawer. It was all over! He had stamp pad ink all over his hands and face and was just giggling to himself. We laughed so hard!
We took Graham to Hogle Zoo to see the elephants since Omaha's zoo is currently building a new facility for the elephants and won't have them for a while. He has been obsessed with elephants and giraffes lately.
The baby elephant that was born last year...
He kept calling the statue of the rhino a horse and saying "neigh!" to it.
With all of the kids. He still knows all of their names and misses them a lot!
Aunt Momo and Holly swinging Graham. He loves when we do this. He'll say "2, 3, WHEEE!!!" and take our hands until we do it.
Looking at the animals. He is, unfortunately, loving snakes. I hate them more than anything. sigh...
His first ride on a train. He loves "Choo Choos!"
Grandma Denise, Mom and Graham on his first train ride
He said "Choo choo!" the entire ride.
Graham and his loot from the gift shop. Grandma spoiled him, yet again with a giant elephant and giraffe that now sleep with him in his crib.
I forgot Graham's jacket at Morgan's graduation and of course it had to be a freezing night. He wouldn't let me hold him and wrap his blanket around him, so he ended up running around in my sweater. Ah, the sacrifices mothers make...
Congratulations Aunt Momo!!
My grandma, grandpa and Morgan
Me and Graham with his great grandma and grandpa Ellis
(I have no idea where the other pictures of the family went on her graduation day. I guess I'll have to get those from my mom's camera. Sorry mom!!!)
Graham is a nut! He loves getting into everything. This time, he liked when I put the basket on his head and then spun it around. He thought it was hilarious!
This was how I entertained Graham on the plane ride home. He ended up taking a lot of pictures like this and filming 1 second videos.
Graham, the entertainer...
