Bathroom Fun

Here is a cute video of Grady playing in the bathroom...enjoy!

Saturday Fun

Today we started by watching the Hawkeye's play football, but soon decided that this was probably one of the last nice days of November...so off for a walk we went. During our walk we stopped by a friends house. Since her and the boys were out in the backyard, Grady and I stopped by for a chat. Here Grady and Nolan played in the back yard.

Then when Jon came home we decided to take yet another walk. Here is Grady wanting us to hurry up. He loves to go on walks.

Grady got a ATW for his birthday from his Grandpa/ma Moseley. We decided this was a perfect night to break it out. The nice part is that it has plenty of room for Grady's stuff. His water bottle, favorite puppy and his favorite blanket...we are now all set to go!

Daddy and Jon - the wagon still has the bow on it! Thanks for the present!

Here we go!

We stopped at Byrnes park and let Grady play in the leaves. He had so much fun!

Then we went to the jungle gym at the park. It had slides, swings and a bunch of things to climb on. Grady had so much fun!

Playing on the swings!

I had to stick in this picture. Isn't he a hottie!?!

Back home we go...

There is always a first time for everything

Today Grady and I made some pumpkin bars. The best part was that Grady got to lick the homemade frosting from the beaters. YUMMY!!

Halloween Fun

Halloween came and went but not before Grady was able to dress up. It is funny to look back and see him when he was barely 1 month old (dressed as a bat) til now when he is 1 year old. This year he was a lion. A mighty cute one if I do say so myself. Here are some pictures of him dressed up for Halloween.

Halloween night ended with Grady getting to spend some time with his cousins who had just gotten back from trick-or-treating.

Dawson and Grady

Are we done yet...this is probably how he felt the day that I took him around to see family.

Having fun at Grandma and Grandpa Moseley's

Grady and Grandma Jean

One of the stops that we make is at Jon's office. Betty loves to see Grady!

Grady and daddy! Jon dressed up as a nerd so it was fun to have them pose together.

The many angles of Grady all dressed up.

Grady's First Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Grady's FIRST birthday. He officially turned 1 on the 7th, but this was a time for family and friends to come and celebrate Grady. The party was at my parents house and we had a taco bar for supper. After that, we opened gifts and had cake. I think we all had a good time and it was great to spend time with family and friends (Great Grandpa Earl and Norma, Grandma/pa Moseley, Grandma/pa Grady, Athena, Addison, Lucas, Dawson, Elizabeth and Jameson, Aunt Elaine, Darren, Jenny, Brooke, Ally, Lindsey, Heather and Trisha - missing is uncle Matthew who thought the Hawkeyes in MI playing were more important...good thing it was a good game - you were missed uncle Matthew!)

This is Grady's birthday cake. It was from Target (of course) and I had ordered a Lego type cake. I love Lego's and so does Grady. I was not sure what we were going to get by just saying "make us a Lego cake" but I think it turned out cute for his birthday. Here is a picture of the table that showcased his cake and balloons.

Lots of family and friends came and enjoyed time together. As you can see, no matter where Heather and Trisha are, the kids are close by getting them to play with them. More birthday celebration decorations.

We had a taco bar for supper. YUM!!!!

The birthday boy - doesn't he look handsome with his new hair cut?

Here he is playing with his cousins.

This basket is something that he loves to play in at Grandma Jeanette's. This is also something that he loves to do at home in his laundry basket. He wanted to play with the big kids...but he does not know how to write and draw yet.

Opening gifts - he received a lot of great toys! This is a Jack-in-the-box "gnome" style. He received a shopping cart from Grandma and Grandpa Grady. He also got a wagon from Grandpa and Grandma Moseley.

This will be fun to take him on walks in next spring.

Cake time!

Grady loved his birthday cake!

Birthday cake time = immediate bath time!
