It's A Gymboree Day!

Grady has been working on the monkey bars lately...and he's catching on!

Of course, Chase thinks he can do them too...

Samantha thought it was so funny to have Grady pop out...

And she LOVED being pulled around too! Now she just needs to practice the pageant wave !

They all climbed in the boat, and rocked back & forth for a while...then Samantha jumped ship!

Miss Samantha came to visit, and being a brave mommy & aunt, I decided to get the kids out to open gym @ Gymboree! Wow, I needed an extra set of eyes! BUT, they all enjoyed themselves, and it was worth the hats, coats, shoes, loading up, etc. to see them have a great time!

CARS!!!

My neighbor, Cara, and I took our boys to see the real life Cars visit!! Grady & Parker were sooooo excited to be there...but of course, it had to be cold, AND then SNOW...so OVER that!!! Can't wait for the Cars 2 movie to come out in a few months...it will be Grady's first movie!! Wonder how many times we'll end up watching that one in my lifetime? It's probably been 3,000, 697,000 times I've seen the original :)

Grady has been 50/50 on taking naps lately...so on the days he doesn't nap, whenever we end up running errands in the evening...he falls asleep! This little one needs to take his afternoon naps!!

The Important Things

Nick sent me this picture this morning while I was at work, and while I love getting pictures from home, I get so sad I'm not there...kids are not perfect (especially mine!), but nothing I will do in my life is more important to me than being their mom. I think about & miss them when

I'm at work, and can't wait till I get to spend more time with them...

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth ~John 3:4

Sweet Baby

Most mornings are usually the "Grady Show", since he's older & tends to have more of an opinion on what we do with our day...The only thing I really reserve for Chase is Sesame Street at lunchtime (Grady usually wants to watch Cars, or Mickey, etc)...Many days Chase gets sleepy around lunchtime, but I try to get him as much time with Elmo as I can before bed...but, today he just couldn't make it...10 minutes in, and the poor baby had sacked out. He's a sweety.

Caught In The Act

I was watching tv in the family room and I stood up to see what Grady was doing...and I catch him in the fridge! So now he knows how to help himself! Alrighty then...

Our Son...

When Grady first transitioned into his big boy bed he was so good at staying in his bed...fast foward a few months, and we would hear him running laps in his room...NOW, he has taken to quitely playing in his room at ALL HOURS! You think he's asleep, and then you peek in to see him looking out the window, looking at books, etc...this morning Nick captured this scene...Grady apparently woke in the middle of night, decided to play with his cars, and fell asleep on the floor! This picture was taken at 8am!!
