Catching up... GRADY TURNS 2!

This year for Grady's birthday we went with some of the Drake family to Banbury Hot Springs outside Hagerman. We had a great time and spent all day there! Before we went we ran to Walmart and bought some floaties for our kids and they LOVED them! It was so nice because they could swim and play and not need to hold onto anyone. Grady and Sarah Jane are fearless which scares me somewhat, Carlie is very careful and is learning to go underwater!

Happy Birthday Grady!
Gus had fun with his snorkeling gear!
(If you think he looks dorky you should have seen me)

Sarah Jane was a pro and loved to jump off the side and go under water!

Grandma Charlotte, Uncle Sam, and Grandpa Randy were a lot of fun!

Sarah Jane getting on the log... she loved it!
Carlie loves swimming!
I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOY!
We stopped for lunch/dinner and had yummy hogi sandwiches...
...and Grandpa Randy brought Chips Ahoy cookies! After our meal we got back in the pool for a couple more hours then headed to Grandpa Randy's house for a cake and presents!
I think we all feel this way after swimming all day and then getting into a warm car...
Sooooooo tired. After a long nap it was time to bring on the presents! Grady was very particular about how he opened his presents... one strip of paper at a time!
He loved his army guys, his jeep, and his mitt/ball!
Grady was so excited that he got cupcakes and got sung to that...
he blew out the candles before we even finished singing to him!
This kid LOVES frosting... cake not so much but for sure the frosting!
Grady is such a wonderful blessing in our home and in our lives!
He brings so much laughter and love wherever he goes...
we love you buddy!
