Some of my sisters and I possess the coveted and unique talent of "the lip thing." People always beg us, "Please, do the lip thing!" Recently Grant discovered that he inherited this trait. Check it out.
Now that he's mastered the technique, I will be training him to gradually increase his speed.

Chicken Crock Pot
It's been awhile since I've blogged! All I have today is a recipe to share. Boring, but some day I will do an update.
Last Sunday I needed a quick meal idea that wouldn't heat up our house and would work with my limited food options (I hadn't been grocery shopping for awhile.) I did a Google search and found this recipe, which turned out great!
Place in crock pot in the following order:
1 can black beans (or 1 c. dry beans, soaked overnight)
3 chicken breasts
1-2 Tbsp taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (I didn't have the kind with chilies, but would recommend them)
Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 8-10 hours.
Shred chicken with a fork.
Combine with rice, add some cheese and make into burritos.
They were delicious and EASY!

Do It 'Self
Grant's independent spirit is showing itself. I'm sure any parent whose had a child around this age understands! He wants to do everything by himself.
Playing mini golf,
putting on shoes, 
pouring cereal...
And he gets so frustrated when it doesn't work! But he will not let me help. It suppose it's how he will learn, right?
Well it's caused me to contemplate my parent-child relationship with my Heavenly Father. Sometimes I just want to do things my way and figure it out myself, and then I realize that I need to depend on the Lord. And other times I just want the Lord to tell me what to do, and then I realize it's time to learn how to choose for myself. Learning and understanding the balance of independence and dependence is hard! No wonder toddlers can throw such magnificent tantrums!

2 Awesome Years!
One month
Six months
One year
Eighteen months
Two years!
Grant's birthday was so much fun. He woke up from his nap and starting jumping up and down in his crib because he couldn't wait for the party to start! Thanks to everyone in our families who came to make the day special.
Opening presents
Race track cake- an easy idea from Family Fun
Mowing the lawn
"Lucky cake" from Grandma Parker
I wish I had taken more pictures of everyone who was there! Our unfinished basement was a great place for all the cousins to play.
Grant is a great blessing to us. We love him so very much!
