Gray Happenings

Well....once again it has been way too long, but I wanted to share some exciting news.  We are expecting baby #2 in July.  It is likely a girl but she was very stubborn at the ultrasound so we aren't positive.  Raegen did the same thing so we should have known that's is how our luck works.  This pregnancy has been so much better than my first and after the the first trimester was over, I have felt pretty good, yay!
Raegen is growing and changing every day.  She is two now and honestly acts like she is five.  She says the funniest things and is quite dramatic. Some of our favorites lately are listed below:
1)Me:Raegen come here please, Raegen: Just a second mom I am working out(on the eliptical)
2)Anytime you are disciplining Raegen or putting her in timeout, she says, BE NICE TO ME
3)We were visiting The Grays this past weekend and having yummy ice cream drinks with dinner....Emily was asking Andy why he was eating all of hers and Raegen said, EVERYBODY SHARE.
4)We were shopping in Fred Meyer a few weeks ago and a mom said to her daughter, River get over here right now and Raegen decides to abruptly mimic her and say River, get over here right now.
5)We went to welcome Baby Owen(Bryan and Jackie's baby boy) a few weeks ago and her first question was where is Owen's carseat.  She loves babies and buckling her babies into car seats.
6)Aiden was visiting Idaho when Owen was born and Raegen is convinced that his superhero figures were "his babies."
7)Raegen loves to say the prayer and she is very thankful for nursery....tonight she added that she was thankful for all of our family:) She really does love nursery now and loves family meeting night(family home evening).
8)She loves her daddy daughter dates and is on one right now to her favorite place, Kiwi Loco.  She likes the toppings(worms and m&ms) more than the yogurt.
9)She is very social and asks everyone what are you doing or how are you doing?
10)She loves to order value french fries from her little tikes car window she got for her birthday.  She will even pay for them with her debit card.  Yikes, she is scarred from my first trimester sickness and the only thing ever sounding good is french fries:)
11)A few months ago, there was a baby store that was closing and they were getting rid of all of their inventory including the toys and babies from the play area.  Raegen latched on to a baby doll there and loved going to that store as much as possible...it was her favorite.  On the last day the store was open, I went in to see if they had the baby doll for sale and we found it in the bottom of a garbage bag and paid $1 for it.  She kept telling the lady it was her favorite....we got into the car and she said happy momma happy.  This baby's name is favorite and will forever be named favorite because it makes her so happy!
12)She loves her play dates with Jaida Marie and Hadley (Cake) Kate and often tells me she hasn't seen them in a long time, even if it has only been an hour since she has seen them.
13)Every morning when she wakes up she knows her exact breakfast item request...sometimes it is spaghetti and sometimes it is Cafe Rio lol.  After I talk her into "breakfast food" we open all of the blinds and she says good morning doggies to all of the neighborhood dogs.  She wants a dog so bad, but TJ, Ellie, and Chester Boy will have to fill in for now.
14)She really does love sports(likely because that is all that is on our TV).  Eric helped her do a march madness bracket and she is likely going to beat Eric and I.  She must have awesome luck, so she gets to pick where to go to dinner and it will undoubtedly be Cafe Rio...she loves everything spicy.
Well sorry this is so long, but I felt like I needed to write some of these down.  Hopefully I can post some new pics soon.
