Baby Grady is Two




On Friday Grady turned 2 so we had to have a little party ... with Cody who's birthday is also on the same day. I was happy with how the truck cake turned out in the end, even though I cheated in the decorating (made stripes instead of stars). Even at that it took a while to finish and then I was rushing around trying to get everything else ready for the party! Oh well, Grady liked it! We should have taken a group photo after the cake, as everyone had blue/black teeth and lips by the end of it!! Avegail bought Grady a singing Elmo balloon, which he loved, but it had no off switch of course. You barely had to touch it and it would sing Happy Birthday loud and clear. For everyone's sanity it had to be put away for awhile! Thankfully the battery is dying already! Other gifts for the birthday boy: John Deere front end loader, Lightening McQueen Lego, books, Woody Woodpecker stuffed animal, a new outfit, a new coloring book (his favorite activity besides trucks) and some shake and go trucks.

january fun!







This week I went to visit my old friend Leah ... who was visiting her sister nearby. It was a quick trip with Grady and Rhett while Samara and Keithan were at school. Rhett was the chief photographer, so thought I would share these. He should have had a little training first! Needless to say I have a few random shots of Alayne's condo (which is very nice I must say)! Alayne has 2 cats, so it was difficult to get Grady to cooperate for a photo. I even tried holding a cat, but then he wouldn't stand still anyway! We tried to enjoy a McD's lunch and then enjoyed a round of Canasta! I'm very glad I hadn't heard of that game while I was living with Leah when we were going to university!! I would have had even less time to study!

Bringing in 2010













We didn't exactly bring the new year in with a bang, but we had fun all the same. We enjoyed supper and games with Corri and then spent New Years day with some extended family in Edmonton. We slept in this morning, so it has been a good start so far!
