Best Halloween ever... savvy?

Happy birthday!

2011-05-05T21:54:00.000-06:00


To the most beautiful girl in the world... I love you, Lyric!

Happy Birthday

2011-05-02T14:22:00.000-06:00

TO THIS GUY!

Without him.....we'd be lost!

(this picture is making me miss gregory's long hair)

We Love YOU!!!!

yes, we still have a blog.

2011-01-07T23:31:00.002-07:00

we had a busy holiday season... as did most of you, no doubt. here are a few pictures from the last couple of months. enjoy! (click on the pictures for a larger version)

29 years ago.

2010-11-26T21:44:00.000-07:00

I can honestly say that I found a treasure the other day. I was looking through my wooden chest (seriously... I'm not joking here) and I found a bag that my Mom gave me not long ago. The bag contained a variety of items that belonged to my Dad... most of which I had seen many times over the years. I was going through some papers when an old magazine slid out. I picked it up, turned it over, and studied the cover in disbelief. I found my Dad's copy of the game program from the 1981 BYU vs. Utah game. As I began thumbing through the pages, a ticket stub fell out. I then realized that my Dad had saved the program and the ticket stub from the first Holy War played in my lifetime. I was about 7 months old when this game was played... and yes, BYU won 56-28 (Go Cougs!). This all happened last Sunday... which, in case you are wondering, was November 21, 2010. Why is does this matter? Look at the date on the ticket stub.

one of a kind...

2010-11-23T19:35:00.000-07:00

seems hard to believe that our little guy is already 3! sometimes it is difficult to remember life before gregory. he is, after all, full of life... and he does his best to run all of our lives. we feel so incredibly blessed to have such a smart, funny, healthy little man who certainly does not lack personality in any way. happy birthday, gregory! we love you more and more every single laughter-filled day that we spend with you.

all our love,
mommy & daddy

5 Years

2010-11-04T15:36:00.000-06:00

Its been a fun ride and I'm excited for the future!

I love you Scott!

to grandma and grandpa's house...

2010-11-02T19:05:00.000-06:00

...and beyond! gregory, aka buzz lightyear, had a great time at grandma and grandpa vipperman's house with his cousins! he looked awesome in his costume... thank you nate, carrie, and avery for sharing it with him! gregory is already planning his costume for next year. he seems to have the choices narrowed down to a pirate, ironman, spiderman, "bad" buzz lightyear, a ups man, batman, a skeleton, a sandwhich, a pizza, a pumpkin, a spider, dracula, superman, a crayon, or a shoe. good thing we have a whole year to decide! yes, these are all ideas he came up with. crazy little guy.

rise and shout...

2010-10-11T22:29:00.000-06:00

awesome. that sums up our weekend. we met robert anae, went to the game (thank you, grandpa!!) and the cougs got a much needed win. we had a blast!

a man and his tools...

2010-08-08T20:25:00.000-06:00

it can be very frustrating when your ride breaks down...

...unless of course you know how to fix it!

what a kid.

2010-07-10T00:56:00.004-06:00

at the age of 2 1/2, gregory seems to have mastered the art of having fun. whether he is at home, at a bees game, or even at the instacare getting a staple in his head after falling off of a chair, the little guy has a blast. the visit to the doctor is quite the story... just ask him, he would love to tell you all about it! (yes, he is doing just fine now)

simply put, raising this kid is exhausting and often humbling. most of all however, it is a blessing... a very entertaining, frequently hilarious, incredible blessing.

on the road...

2010-07-03T10:05:00.002-06:00

...to see this! we are officially HUGE fans of the oregon coast. as you can see, it is an amazing place. we are already planning the next trip!

the next bobby flay?

2010-06-13T21:54:00.002-06:00

gregory's signature dish is "wood block pasta" with a side of "roasted cars." both are are very tasty! however, the whole using the oven door as a stool thing did not go over well. he and i had a nice chat about it... after i took the pictures, of course. bon appetit!

memorial day bbq

2010-05-31T21:16:00.003-06:00

we had a blast! these are just a few pictures from the day... we will post many, many more on facebook (for those of you who are dying to see the rest). this weekend has been fantastic... probably a 10 out of 10 as far as weekends go. let the countdown to oregon begin!

our weekend (so far)

2010-05-30T19:48:00.002-06:00

we have had a lot of fun! the best part about this weekend is the fact that it is not over...

help a great cause...

2010-05-16T22:11:00.003-06:00

Can't Believe This Guy Is 29!

2010-05-02T17:57:00.001-06:00

Happy Birthday Scott!
We love you so much and are so grateful for all you do for US!

the ballpark effect

2010-04-16T21:29:00.004-06:00

it isn't all that hard to get this kid to grin... it usually happens as soon as a camera appears. apparently going to a baseball game prompts a similar reaction. yep, this picture pretty much sums up his experience at our first bees game of the season! grin, laugh, yell, eat some kettle corn, yell at "bumble" the mascot, grin/laugh some more, eat more kettle corn, continue yelling at bumble until he comes over (which he did), more kettle corn, laughing... give bumble five (highlight of the night), and he was done. hard to top actually touching bumble. might as well head home after that! success.

easter basket? AWESOME HAT.

2010-04-05T20:53:00.003-06:00

Honestly, there is no point to this blog post... other than the fact that this picture is pretty much hilarious. Look at the kid. He knows he looks amazing.

arrrrgggg... easter

2010-04-04T11:28:00.003-06:00

this week...

2010-03-25T20:38:00.002-06:00

...has been fun!

cafe gregory

2010-03-07T15:08:00.003-07:00

Lyric had a great time in Boise for Justin's surprise party... I heard the food was fantastic. What she doesn't know is that I went ahead and hired a personal chef for the weekend. Not only did I get amazing meals all weekend, he only charged me a trip to the dinosaur museum. It was the deal of a lifetime if you ask me!

just call me greg.

2010-02-27T20:44:00.003-07:00

Here are some random shots from the past couple of weeks. Yes, Gregory loves American Idol, and yes, he tried the potty training thing... for a minute. By the way, don't really call him Greg... Dad tried that one day and was quickly corrected. I guess 2 year olds have strong opinions after all!

no explanation needed

2010-02-09T19:56:00.004-07:00

I am posting this picture without Lyric's approval. Can you blame me? Seriously.

tough & tall... well, taller.

2010-01-25T20:32:00.002-07:00

After Gregory realized that he grew almost an inch in a little over a month, he suddenly became Mr. Tough Guy. Lebron James sweat band and all.

Someday...

2010-01-23T11:20:00.003-07:00

...I'll get my little girl. Scott and Gregory will have to do for now though.

learning early...

2010-01-16T21:44:00.003-07:00

at age 2, gregory has learned one of the great truths of manhood; great naps take place in a fully reclined lazy boy.

2009-12-19T15:07:00.001-07:00

Candy, cupcakes, cookies, and cousins... that makes one HAPPY Gregory! Grandma's baking day was a hit once again!

happy birthday, gregory!

2009-11-24T22:22:00.002-07:00

It is hard to believe that our little boy is two! We are so incredibly blessed to have such a happy, healthy, smart, sweet little boy. He had so much fun celebrating with his Utah family... imagine what he will do when he realizes that another party is coming later this week in Idaho! He deserves every minute of it. WE LOVE YOU, GREGORY SCOTT!!!

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-03T08:41:00.002-07:00

Our Little BYU Football Player
(minus the tough guy face paint....Gregory couldn't handle having it on his face)

getting excited...

2009-10-21T21:28:00.004-06:00

game on. gameday. saturday.

fall drive up the canyon

2009-10-11T22:01:00.005-06:00

Our Sunday drive up Big Cottonwood... it was beautiful!

tough loss? check. have a blast anyway? CHECK!

2009-09-20T16:18:00.002-06:00

We had a great time at the game... even though our defense didn't show up! Gregory loved the marching band, Mom loved watching Dennis Pitta make his usual circus catches, and Dad got a kick out of watching Bobby Bowden watch the other coaches coach the team. GO COUGS!

countdown to the big game

2009-09-01T21:10:00.002-06:00

With the BIG game just a few days away, the Cougars star player has been practicing without pads to avoid an injury. Go Cougs!!!

gregory's new pal

2009-08-24T19:58:00.002-06:00

Gregory may be a lot to handle these days... but he still has plenty of good moments!

Next up: "President Dieter F. Uchtdorf"

(well, someday)

trip to idaho

2009-08-18T22:03:00.002-06:00

We had a great time in Idaho! Here are some pictures from the trip...

Yes, Gregory saw the pool and couldn't resist!

Figuring Things Out

2009-08-05T16:45:00.001-06:00

Gregory has discovered the fun of putting clothes on... just imagine how much fun he will have when he figures out how to take his clothes off!

stay tuned...

2009-07-23T23:58:00.002-06:00

Busy weekend coming up... we'll be able to update the blog again now that we have the computer back!

4th of July!!!

2009-07-05T20:33:00.002-06:00

We were invited to the Tyson's cabin for a 4th of July bbq!

We did alittle bit of swinging....

some 4-wheeling.....

and alot of relaxing!

Thanks for the great 4th!

Bear Lake

2009-06-22T22:05:00.001-06:00

We went to the Willard Reunion last weekend in Bear Lake. We had a blast even with all the rain! Due to all the rain we only got a few pictures on the last day while we were packing up camp. As you can tell Gregory had so much fun(and didn't sleep too good in the tent) that he slept the whole way home! It was another great Willard Reunion! Oregon here we come!!!

Part 2

2009-06-01T19:53:00.002-06:00

Gregory had a great time at the Zoo, but as we all know, he LOVES the water. He would live in his little pool if he could. All in all it was a great day.

Saturday Fun (part 1)

2009-05-31T16:04:00.003-06:00

Here are a few pictures from the Zoo yesterday. Gregory was on cloud nine seeing all the animals... his parents were extremely entertained seeing his very animated reactions to it all!

Part 2 will come later...

missing photographer on memorial day weekend

2009-05-28T23:18:00.003-06:00

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Wendell with Lyric's family... we had a great time, but I think we have become dependant on our personal photographer (Lindsay). We took a grand total of zero pictures. Yes, we failed. So in honor of a fun weekend in a great little town here is the beloved Trojan of Wendell High School! Lyric just told me to write something like,

"STATE CHAMPS 2004!!!!"

2009-05-21T13:42:00.001-06:00

Gregory

has been doing this

ALOT

lately.

more from california...

2009-05-17T12:54:00.001-06:00

We spent the day with everyone at Zuma Beach... as you can see, Gregory was in heaven! We also went with Amie, Roland, Lindsay, and Nate to see the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Yes, that is Air Force One... very cool to see. We had a blast all week!

Gregory, meet the beach...

2009-05-14T22:52:00.001-06:00

The three of us spent the day in Santa Barbara... it was beautiful! More pictures to come later.

Mom's Day

2009-05-09T22:31:00.001-06:00

To our three amazing Moms... We love you! Happy Mother's Day!

10 Years!

2009-05-09T13:06:00.000-06:00

A decade later she continues to inspire. We love you, Mom!

take me out to the ball game...

2009-05-07T22:29:00.005-06:00

birthday night at the ballpark. yes, i am fully aware of how incredibly AWESOME my wife is... all she wanted was for me to take her to a game on her birthday. so rad.

Happy Birthday Lyric!!!

2009-05-05T21:15:00.001-06:00

To the most incredible girl in the world...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you so much!

-Scott & Gregory

THE BIG 28

2009-05-02T11:59:00.001-06:00

Happy Birthday Scott!

Here's to you on your big day! I love you and I'm excited to celebrate 28 more years! And many many more!

happy easter

2009-04-12T20:44:00.002-06:00

Happy Easter! We had a great weekend full of family, fun, and eggs! Gregory quickly discovered, and mastered the art of Easter Egg hunting... it was a blast watching him go!

too much mom time?

2009-03-26T21:46:00.000-06:00

Today Gregory found his way to the closet, found my old purse, put two books in it, and headed for the door...

As cute as he is, sometimes he just has to stay home with his purse and books while we enjoy a fun date night!

pulling faces

2009-03-23T20:53:00.006-06:00

Lindsay came over on Sunday to watch Gregory so we could attend the Draper Temple open house, and as you can see she brought her new camera. It looks like Gregory liked it! He would never pull faces like this if either of his parents were taking his picture, that is for sure. Luckily he will do it for his Aunt!

updates... the latest happenings

2009-03-17T21:52:00.003-06:00

Once again we have let too much time go by since our last post. Someday we will get better at this. Someday. Anyway, we have been busy enjoying the suddenly warm weather, spending time with family, and trying to keep up with Gregory through it all. The pictures below are from some of our most recent adventures. Enjoy!

Dinner with Marc, Ashlee, and Drage... Gregory was pretty excited to hang out with his cousin for the first time!

Gregory and Mom at the "million dollar park" in Pleasant Grove (yes, there is A LOT more to it).
Gregory was fearless on the trampoline with his cousins... he pretty much loves anything outside these days.

Back at the park in PG... yes, that is a beehive. Very appropriate, don't you think?

And finally, a small glimpse at Captain Redbeard... and Lyric. Yes Justin, we grew beards at the same time. Pretty funny.

Welcome Drage Cameron Vipperman!

2009-02-27T23:51:00.005-07:00

After a long day, Drage is finally here! 7 lbs, 20 1/2 inches. He was born at 10:00 pm tonight. All is well with baby and Mom... Marc is crying like a baby. :-) Congrats!

is summer here yet?

2009-02-24T19:45:00.002-07:00

It looks like we will be spending our summer days at the pool!

Gregory disappeared while I was filling his bath this morning, and came back with his float boat in tow! As you can see, he had the time of his life.

a little note to "the coolest girl we know"

2009-02-22T13:18:00.000-07:00

I am the first to admit that I do not do enough to show my appreciation to Lyric for the incredible wife and mother she is. So, I have taken the liberty of writing this entry while she takes a well deserved nap... and yes, Gregory let me know that he was fine with me writing on his behalf as well. Besides, he's asleep too.

Lyric is amazing. There really is no other way of saying it. Anyone who either knew me growing up, or is familiar with my life knows that Lyric is absolutely perfect for me in every way. She does more for me than she realizes. She is an incredible Mom to Gregory... he has become the sweet little boy he is because of his Mom. It is very easy to see how much Gregory loves her... even when he is a pain in her behind... which is happening a lot lately.

So, from both of us we say thank you for EVERYTHING! In reality we will never be able to show enough appreciation for you, but we'll certainly try. We love you!

Your boys,

Scott and Gregory

we are slacking...

2009-02-19T20:44:00.000-07:00

It would appear that we are turning into blog slackers.... and yes, we are ashamed of ourselves. I think we have been "tagged" anywhere from 10-29 times for different things, and we haven't responded to a single one. So, if you happen to be one of those who has tagged us, please forgive us. Hopefully we'll get to them soon.

Anyway, everything is going great for us! Gregory is embracing toddlerhood and loving every minute of it. He keeps us on our toes... and usually laughing too. Here's a picture we took the other day when we went for a drive up one of the canyons near our house... he loves the snow!

vegas VIP style...

2009-02-04T18:21:00.000-07:00

We had a great time in Las Vegas... here are some pictures! Thanks to Derek and Ari for letting us be a part of Brody's big day, and for hanging out with us while we saw the sights!

Roland- Bond sends his regards. :-) We thought of you when we saw this!

Gregory was a trooper as usual. When we got back to the hotel on Sunday night we set him on the bed... he sat there for about 5 seconds, then decided he'd had enough for the day. Such a good kid.

Its been awhile since we've posted.....So we just wanted to let you know that we are a live and well!!!! There will be more to come when we remember to take our camera with us. oops

2008-12-26T11:29:00.000-07:00

It snowed all day yesterday... Gregory and Grandpa couldn't resist!

christmas morning in idaho!

2008-12-25T11:00:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures... there are more to come later! Merry Christmas!

christmas warm up

2008-12-21T10:28:00.000-07:00

Later this week we will be heading to Idaho to spend Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Vipperman and company, so we had a little gift exchange last night with everyone here. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Lytle for the INCREDIBLE DINNER, and the cool toy for Gregory! Thanks to the rest of the family as well!

Gregory had a great time... and as you will see below, he found something incredibly funny!

We also watched the Las Vegas Bowl... but we wanted to keep things positive and happy on the blog... so that's all we'll say about that.

'Tis the season... for a busy weekend...

2008-12-14T21:17:00.000-07:00

We had a great time this weekend! Gregory had a blast with his cousins at the annual "Grandma's Baking Day" at Grandma Lytle's on Saturday. As you will see below, he even got to wear his own apron!

Today we were watching a show on the Travel Channel called "Christmas to the Extreme" which showed different sites around the country which show "extreme" Christmas spirit. We were shocked when they started talking about a home in Murray, Utah that has their lights set to music broadcasted locally on an FM station as you drive by the house. As it turns out, the house is literally two blocks from us... so we went to check it out! We took a little video clip to share the experience. Enjoy!

...there were a few quiet moments as well.

"...girl, can I hit you back?"

2008-12-09T21:33:00.000-07:00

Looks like Gregory takes after his Mom in more than one way...

turkey-licious!

2008-11-28T21:24:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Lytles yesterday! The food was AMAZING! We didn't take very many pictures... to see more, check Grandma Lytle's blog, and Amie's blog. It was great to spend time with everyone!

Now we have officially entered Christmas Season!

Gregory is turning one!

2008-11-22T21:30:00.000-07:00

Here's Gregory's cake! Mom made, Gregory APPROVED!! (See next picture...)

Gregory opening his gifts with help from his cousins... he loved it all!

We had a great time celebrating our little guy's first birthday! Thank you to everyone for the great gifts... he loves them all. It's hard to believe that he is already a year old! We're looking forward to many more memories with our Gregory Scott. We love you buddy!

daddy daycare...

2008-11-19T21:40:00.000-07:00

Last night I was blessed with a wonderful opportunity... two and a half hours of chasing Gregory all over the place while his buddy Asher sat playing, perfectly behaved. I was on kid duty while Lyric and her friend Jess went to some progressive dinner marathon Relief Society chat fest. :-) After my brief experience with double duty I now realize why moms need (and deserve) breaks like they had last night.

Dad chasing Gregory all over the apartment = Dad realizing he's totally out of shape.

booty shakin'

2008-11-09T09:34:00.000-07:00

Gregory has discovered "Plaza Sesamo" (Sesame Street on the Spanish Channel) which has resulted in a lot of dancing in front of the TV. He definately keeps us entertained around here!

one week... two seasons...

2008-11-06T22:24:00.000-07:00

I'm glad we took these....

Before we took these!

We piled up the leaves for Gregory to play in... which he really liked. A few days later, a nice storm piled up snow for him to play in... which he TOTALLY loved!

New items added to Moms list:

-Snow suit

-Snow boots

-Snow gloves

-Snow hat

3 years

2008-11-03T21:07:00.000-07:00

Yes tomorrow (Nov. 4) is our 3 year anniversary. A while back I was trying to think of something romantic and fun to do to celebrate when I realized that we are sharing our big day with John and Barack. At that point I stopped the planning. What is more romantic than a night together glued to the TV watching coast to coast election coverage?? You're right, pretty much anything. That's why we chose to wait until the weekend to celebrate.

I told Lyric I wouldn't write anything cheesy... wish me luck. In all reality it is nearly impossible for me to say or write anything about Lyric which gives her the credit she deserves. I truly am the luckiest guy around. I am reminded of that every day... I love you, and happy anniversary, honey! You are incredible and beautiful in every way... thank you for making me happier than I ever thought possible.

little man walkin'

2008-11-02T19:38:00.000-07:00

Here's a little video clip of Gregory's latest skill... we thought it would be nice for those of you who haven't been around the little guy in the last few weeks. He thinks he has the walking thing mastered already. He's already trying to run... which usually ends ugly. At least he is determined! Anyway, enjoy... Gregory sure did when he watched it!

Monkey Business

2008-10-31T20:53:00.000-06:00

It's official... Gregory's first Halloween was a success! He started out by going to Dad's office to pick him up so we could all head down to see family. He had a blast with his cousins, aunts, and Grandma and Grandpa Lytle at Amie and Roland's. Then we headed to visit the Haycocks in Alpine where he got to play with a dog for the first time... which he completely loved! As you can see, he makes a pretty cute monkey!

Snowbird Watching

2008-10-26T19:42:00.000-06:00

One of the great parts about where we live is having both the city, and the mountains so close. Today we took advantage of the unusually warm weather and went up to Snowbird to go for a walk. We had fun watching Gregory react to the surroundings... especially the trees. He's way in to trees. Silly kid. Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

renewing our vows (or just our wedding pictures)

2008-10-19T18:19:00.000-06:00

Well I know this might look kinda silly to those of you who were actually there on our "real" wedding day. However for our upcoming 3rd Anniversary we (or I guess I) decided it would be fun to renew our wedding pictures. There were a few things about our real ones I wasn't too excited about.... like that fact that I left my bouquet in the car and that it was kinda chilly so we didn't get many pictures outside of the temple. It turned out to be a very fun day and it will be fun to look back and laugh at our 3rd Anniversary Wedding pictures! I am grateful to Scott for being to willing to play along with my silly idea and to Lindsay who so kindly took the pictures! Maybe in 3 years we will "relive the magic" again.

voted "cutest couple of all time"

2008-10-07T22:45:00.000-06:00

It's true... voted cutest couple in a landslide! It shouldn't be hard to believe now that you have seen the pictures for yourself. Before you ask, I am in no way ashamed of the turtle neck, the accompanying sweater, or the incredible hair. I was a trend setter... plain and simple. As for Lyric, you can see that even way back in the day she was perky! Anyway, think what you may about our hot yearbook shots... but one thing is undeniable; we were (and still are) the hottest couple around.

What has Gregory been up to lately?

2008-09-26T21:38:00.001-06:00

Pulling everything out of the kitchen cabinet and seeing if he fits....

Pulling everything out of the bathroom cabinet and seeing if he fits....

And unloading the dishwasher while Mom is loading it!!! Baby proof isle here we come!!!

eating made easier

2008-09-22T22:26:00.000-06:00

Well, better late than never. Gregory was way over due for a high chair... so we finally got one. Lyric found it on Craigslist for $40... and as you may have noticed, it's vintage. We were thinking it might be fun to re finish it and fix it up a little. We're pretty sure that Gregory could care less. All he cares about is whether or not it makes it easier to eat more food... faster, which it does. He's happy... which makes us pretty happy as well.

Hurricane Gregory!!!!

We just thought we should let you all know we were hit by Hurricane Gregory today...category 4. We have a few damages but nothing we can't repair. Luckily the power is still on and water is running. We will keep you posted on our recovery.

shellacking.

59-o. Fifty-nine to ZERO! I'm sitting here trying to think of something clever to write about the near perfect display of dominance we witnessed yesterday, but the score says it all.

Justin made the comment yesterday that the Utes dropped only 58 on lowly Utah State... and they let the Aggies score 10! We blanked the "the greatest offensive coordinator in college football", Norm Chow... a name that should sound very familiar to anyone who knows anything about BYU football. He was on our coaching staff for 27 years.

This win was huge on so many levels. If the Cougs keep playing like they did yesterday I may have to start another blog. I don't think Lyric will put up with me writing about football on our family blog every week.

Go Cougs!!!

My little girl and cinnamon rolls

2008-09-11T19:24:00.000-06:00

Today I made home made cinnamon rolls! They turned out great...for the fist time ever making them. While I was making them Gregory was playing with this bow so I decided to put it on his head and he turned into my little girl. So cute!!!

Brodrick Riddle Is Here!!!

2008-09-10T12:39:00.000-06:00

We haven't had to wait to long for this little guy but hes here! He decided to come 6 weeks early so he could meet his wonderful parents! All is well and we are heading to Vegas on Friday to welcome the buddle of JOY to the family:)

camping and more

2008-09-08T22:35:00.000-06:00

Lyric and Gregory had the chance to go camping with the Vipperman side of the family over Labor Day weekend... and as you can see, they had a blast! I had to stay home to start my new job with Zions Bank (which we are very excited about). Things are going very well for us. We are amazed every day at how grown up our little guy is. He thinks he should be running all over the place, but hasn't quite mastered standing on his own. He is very entertaining! He always knows when his parents need a good laugh, and doesn't hesitate to act. We love him more every day. So, enjoy the pictures... and don't be shy, leave a comment!

more adventures in standing

2008-08-27T13:37:00.000-06:00

Gregory seems to think that standing in the tub is completely normal and appropriate. If nothing else, it's pretty hilarious! He also figured out the connection between the fridge and food... which is an important thing to figure out if you're a guy. Nice to see him off to a good start!

just like dad

2008-08-26T10:36:00.000-06:00

The pictures pretty much tell the story... Gregory entertained himself with that can of D.C. for about 45 minutes. In the end he just gave up out of frustration over not being able to open it! He's a pretty funny kid. At least he has good taste in beverages!

in case you haven't seen it...
