Dancing With The Stars Here We Come!!

Gradyn LOVES to dance!  We caught him on video a few weeks ago.  Notice how about 30 seconds into the video he starts to get dizzy, but regains his composure and keeps on dancing! 
He is sooooo funny!

Summer is here!

Summer is officially here!!  I was done with school for the summer on Friday, May 21st!  We celebrated by going to the park for a little bit in the afternoon.  I'm so excited to be at home with Grady for the summer and get to do lots of fun things!  We are mostly excited to spend lots of time at the pool and park!  We're going to be gone pretty much every weekend this summer for weddings, reunions, baby showers, wedding showers, and visiting family.  Should be a fun one!  :)

Grady's 3rd 5K race

Grady participated in his 3rd 5K race.  He did 2 last summer when he was 4 months old and now he started his first of the series for the summer.  Paul and I both ran it together while Paul pushed Grady in the jogging stroller.  He did great the whole time and just looked around at all of the sights while he played with his steering wheel.  It was a great way to start the summer because it was an 80 degree day, which was much better weather to run in than what we have been used to.  I was having problems breathing because of my allergies, but that was the only problem of the day!

Ready to get out of the stroller!

Happy Birthday Dominic!

Dominc Deaver had a Pirate themed birthday party for his 3rd Birthday!  I didn't get very many pictures of the day, but here are a few to show a little of the festivities!  It was a really fun day, spent with lots of good friends! 

This is Beth with Grady the Pirate.  The patch worked better as a necklace...

Dominic with his birthday treats!

This is Dominic's birthday card that Grady decorated for him.  It was Grady's first time painting.  He did pretty good with the little paint/marker things!  He loved to pound them on the card!

He got just a little on his face!

Our Little Lovebug

One of my favorite things about Gradyn is how lovey he is.  He loves to give big tight hugs and will squeeze so tight it hurts sometimes!  He will not hug on demand yet, but whenever the mood strikes him he will reach up and want a squeeze!  He also loves to kiss.....any form of kissing.  Mostly he blows kisses constantly.  When he wants to go bye-bye, night-night, when he sees you put on your coat, when he sees me put on my sunglasses, when he is ready to leave somplace.  But, just recently he has decided he wants to give open mouth kisses and bit your whole cheek.  He loves it and squeezes your neck so hard at the same time.  It's so funny!  I'm so glad he loves to hug and be lovey because he does not ever like to be held or snuggle, so I guess he is making up for that.  :)  If he ever sees Paul and I hugging he gets mad and runs up screaming, wanting up and as soon as we pick him up and add him to our hug he squeals with delight and throws his arms around both of us.  It is awesome.
