Grayson has always loved animals and critters. When he was four and he had the choice to go somewhere special, he would always choose the Reptile store where they had snakes, lizards, turtles and fish. He loved it!! He is still this way and enjoys going to the pet stores. Here he is with a snake around his neck at a friend's birthday party in September 2009. 
We took a trip to the pet store in August. Here he is with a bearded dragon hanging out on his shirt.
Here he is with his praying mantis that he caught. This bug catcher has gotten a lot of use. 
In August when he would get home from school, we would head straight out to the butterfly bush to catch these beautiful butterflies. 
Grayson's other love is Beyblades. He Loves playing with these spinning battling tops. He got quite a collection at Christmas and enjoys taking them apart and putting them back together to create new ones. They battle in an arena to see which one will last. It is a lot of fun! 
He has also developed a love for the game of Chess. Thank you to the Granddads for giving him the passion for the game. 
Kinsley Loves her blanket and her baby doll Michael. Kinsley has always called her blanket her "B." When she was six months old I realized that this would be her lovey, so I headed out to the store to buy another one in case the original was lost or got worn out. She fell in love with her second B as well. She now sleeps with BOTH Pink B's. She calls her first B that has gotten the most love her "tickle B" because it is a little more worn since she has had it longer. Her second B is called her "soft B" since it is a more fresh and not so worn. She will smell each blanket and rub each one to determine which is "soft" and which one is "tickle." 
Both Nanny and Grandy have B's at their houses. She can tell the difference between each and every one. She is so funny! When she was a baby she would hold it up to her face and put her mouth on it, now she will hold it up to her nose and she rubs the blanket between her pointer finger and her middle finger. So sweet to watch her put herself to sleep like this.
Kinsley's other love would be her baby Michael. My parents bought her a cash register for Christmas in 2009. After opening it, we realized it didn't work properly so we took it back to the store. They didn't have any more cash registers on the shelves, so I let her pick out a toy. She chose MICHAEL and he has been her precious baby ever since. Michael uses the baby carrier that I used when my kids were babies and we take him wherever we go. She talks so sweet to him and she loves her baby Michael to pieces.
