Jim and Jody's Visit and Savannah Turns Two!
I've posted a few pictures of our adventures with Jim and Jody the past few days but now I'm back to officially fill in the gaps. Ron's parents arrived in Pensacola early Friday morning and we immediately embarked on eating our way around the Gulf Coast, literally. We started out at the Grand Marlin in Pensacola Beach, and enjoyed fantastic meal after fantastic meal in the few days they were here. Seafood was our main desire and we ate ourselves silly on fresh oysters, grouper, mahi and crawfish at our favorite local restaurants. I'm still recovering. We also, dare I say, "bar-hopped" Saturday night visiting the local dives in Mobile and surrounding areas that Jim had recently read about in Garden and Gun Magazine, in an article entitled, "Why Life is so Good on Mobile Bay." I encourage you all to click on the grey hyperlink above to read it and then all hurry down here for a visit! After visiting five bars we finally made it back to relieve the babysitter and we all felt a little more dare I say again, "cultured?"
I was thrilled beyond belief when Jody presented me with this amazing work of art that she has been slaving over for almost two years... Grant's Christmas stocking that she personally needlepointed and put together. Can you say, "Wowza!" To truely appreciate this and understand the amount of work that went into this masterpiece, you have to see it in person. Grant and I will enjoy pulling this keepsake out year after year to admire his Mimi's hardwork!THANK YOU JODY! YOU ARE AMAZING! 
Saturday afternoon we celebrated Grant's best buddy, Savannah's second birthday! Savannah invited all of her friends to the Little Gym for some gymnastics lessons, a lot of controlled chaos, and of course some cake! Savannah celebrated her big day in a Daisy Faye Designs Tee made by my friend Kim. 
If you recall, Grant loves Gymnastics. Ron took him to the Little Gym every Saturday last fall. As you can see in this previous post, Grant has become a lot more brave since his early days as a "little bird!"
Mimi showing Grant how to hang upside down like a monkey!
He loved it and was so brave!
Savannah was the star of the show in the center of the parachute as we all sang "Happy Birthday to You," while spinning her around and around.
Trying to balance on the high beam with encouragement from the birthday girl.
Grant is completely fearless, he loves tackling all the tricks and challenges the teachers sent his way. He can now do a somersault flip on his on, videos to come!
Eating cake, I'm happy to report, he didn't get a single drop of that chocolate cupcake on his shirt. Every bit went in his mouth!
Inbetween birthdays, fabulous food and many outings there was also lots of down time to enjoy being with eachother and experiencing the everyday, not so normal life of Yaeger. We love and cherish the time spent with family. Afterall, that's what life is all about, the little things like Poppy teaching Grant the word, "Tractor" or Mimi finally teaching him how to drink out of a straw, halleluiah! Thank you so much for coming to see us, we love you!

ROAR!
Grant is loving having his Grandparents visit from North Carolina, we have packed so much in the past few days. I have great pictures to come but for now these will have to suffice. Here's our trip to the park this morning after a fantastic lunch with Dada. By the way, I'm loving this new Blogger app I just downloaded to my phone. Now, I can blog on the go and within seconds share photos with you of our adventures.

Pony Rides
Grant helped his friend, Emma celebrate her 3rd birthday Saturday morning!
Emma's celebration was held at Mayday Park and we all enjoyed gorgeous weather while watching the children enjoy pony rides.

Grant and I took the bigger horse for a ride

Grant's Idea of a Perfect Weekend
Friday morning when I opened the garage door Grant yelled, "DUCK!" I didn't realize what he was refering to until I looked out into our neighbors yard and saw this:
Our neighbor Cameron was celebrating her 10th birthday and someone had, "Flamingo'd a Friend."
These flamingos provided all day entertainment for Grant. He spent a lot of the day weaving in and out of the flamingos, taking them off of their stands, talking to them and giving them pats on the back.
We were sad to see the flamingos go,
but it was fun while it lasted!
We have a new house going up behind ours. Saturday morning we had front row seats to the "pouring of the concrete slab" and this again was pure entertainment for my little guy. He is fascinated with trucks these days.
Luke even came over to witness the main attraction and the guys had time to sneak in a little game of golf before the pour was over
I promise, Grant did give Luke a shot at hitting the ball
Sunday morning provided lots of time for cuddling with this guy
and the evening was spent hanging out with Grant's best gal, Savannah and pal, Brooks
You think they're having fun?
Say Cheese!
And now, we rest.

A little of this...
These days...
I can't leave Grant alone for a second.
R.I.P.
I attended a Kentucky Derby themed Bridal shower for Kimmy's sister Lauren Saturday night. We had a great time and enjoyed dressing up and wearing hats!
Meet our new neighbor, Camille. She's three and Grant loves to play with this little darling! They chase eachother around and love to play outdoors and wave at passerbys.and this is Camille's older sis, Cameron. Grant would do this all day long if I let him.

Little Golfer
Ron took Grant to the putting green of our local golf course on Sunday. Grant was enthralled by seeing golf come to life right before his eyes. This is now Grant's new obsession.
