A Siesta Key Weekend

Grady MEMORIZED a book, and now he has started reading it to Gram!

And here, he is reading to himself....

On this Saturday AM, we did a bike ride and pool morning! Nick/Grady went to lunch with Gram, Dee & Steve, while Chase and I hung at home! We had dinner at Dutch Valley...this was our pre-dinner picture.

This was some of our pool pics

Grady LOVES jumping in the pool!


And so does Chase!

OH. the joys of getting kids to look at the camera...

CARS 2!!!! Grady's 1st Movie!!!

We took Grady to his FIRST movie theater experience! To see Cars 2!!

Pre-movie. Grady was looking at EVERYTHING! He couldn't figure out why all these people were there.

Once previews started, he was already fixated on that big screen

Overall, he did great! He got a little antsy at times, but it was SUPER fun for Nick and I to be able to have this neat night with him!

Siesta Key Days

We rented bikes, and this time we got the front-load ones, and BOTH boys LOVED riding!

We rode at least twice a day even though it was H-O-T!!!

Gram and Chase in the pool!

Grady, for some reason, really liked floating in this baby float. I think mostly because he was able to be hands free from everyone.

We decided to have a pool night, and Grady/Chase's favorite game was dumping buckets of water on Chase. He LOVED it!

And every night Gram would read Grady "Blue Bird's Nest" before bed. He already has the book memorized

Morning Breakfast...Chase is now enjoying the kids table too!

Beach fun!!!

Daddy and Chase

I love floppy hats! Me and the old ladies!

Chase loved playing in the waves !!

Tball Picture Night

As you can see, Grady wanted nothing to do with wearing his hat, and it's no accident our neighbor (and Grady's BFF), Parker, was sitting behind him...Parker was assigned to make sure Grady stayed in his spot :)

My SWEET baby!!! His face is edible!!!

My Sweetie!

Chase ate his breakfast right up on the kitchen counter with me this morning while I was baking, and he really liked being apart of everything!! His face is just the sweetest!!!

Good Sports

Chase in the dugout

Little brothers Carson & Chase watching tball

Being the younger brother is often being the spectator to whatever big brother is doing...and tball was no exception for Chase. He has been really good at always going with the flow, and hopefully learning a little with everything we do.

Grady's 1st Day of Tball!!

Grady & Coach Brad (neighbor & friend!)

Grady started his first season of tball, and he was SO adorable...He took a little while to get the hang of things, but he was very open to all the coaches & the chaos that came with teaching a bunch of 3-4 years olds how to play a new sport. I was so proud of him, and he is already looking forward to next week! We went for a post-game bowl of DQ ice cream after the game, which may the routine for each week :)
