One thing I missed last year...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRADY!
When your birthday is two days after Christmas you always get the short end of the deal. This year Grady's birthday fell on a Sunday so we partied it up at Chucky Cheese on Saturday night. We stopped by Target on the way home to buy the traditional yearly birthday gift, another baseball bat. Grady also picked a 'soft throw in the house' baseball and a baseball T. Everything and everyone in our house is at risk of being nailed in the head with a 'soft' baseball.
Mom and Dad picked a cap gun for him. Grady wasn't too sure about it, he didn't even want to pick it up. It's heavy, made of metal and I think he thought he'd shoot someone if he touched it wrong. (I'm sure I've made him terrified) After Dad help him shoot it and it smoked he just wanted to watch dad shoot it for a while. I think he needs to strengthen his trigger finger and nerves!

I love my little man!

Yesterday when I couldn't get the van up the driveway, and there was no way I could shovel, my sweet Grady came to the rescue! He spent a long time freezing outside and did a dang good job shoveling the snow into a huge pile. Thanks for always taking care of me Grader!

I know you hate me to kiss you buddy but, MMMMMMWWWAAAAAA!!!
I love you Grady Jay!

Ohh so cute! What a champ! That is one kid who is all boy! It's nice to have a big guy take care of mom.

Good thing you have Grady, and way to teach him young to take care of ya. I guess that is the good thing about having 3 boys. I should be taken care of and my yard should always look good. I just won't have help cooking and cleaning the house. But nothing should ever stay broken for long.

He is a good helper, that is for sure.
