Play Time

Today we went to Trayson's 6th Birthday Party. Grayson (and his dad) had tons of fun. The party was at IF Gymnastics so all the kids got to run around and jump in the foam pit. I wanted to take lots more pictures but unfortunately my camera died after only taking 2. Anyways, we all had a great time and are planning on going back for Brad's 32nd birthday:)

I'm still not quite sure where the month of February went, I can't believe I only posted one time and now it's already a week into the month of March. Well, so far it's been a pretty uneventful Month. I've been getting lazy about getting the camera out so that's why my post is even a little dull---I'm going to start using it again. Anyways, I wanted to put a picture up of two of Grayson's favorite people (Taylor, if you would have been home you'd be in the picture too). Anyways, here's Grayson with my sister Hilary and our friend Benny. This night Grayson was so...excitd that they came over to visit. I told him that we needed to get his PJ's on and the only person he would let get him ready for bed was Benny...it was really cute. The other pictue is Grayson's first marker experience. We found him in the office with Brad's marker writing on the calendar/wall. Unfortunately, I grabbed Grayson off the desk before I got a pictue of him with the marker---he had it all over his face too, pretty funny. Anyone know any tricks to get marker off the wall without repainting?

Winter Fun

Make a Smilebox slideshow

This past weekend we went to Island Park with Brad's family. We go every year and always have lots of fun. His parents own a time share so it makes it really nice. Grayson went with us last year but....he was so much more fun this year. We went for a snowmobile ride or two, played in the snow, Grayson got pulled in the sled by dad, went swimming everyday, ate way too much junk food, never got out of our PJ's and comfy clothes, watched lots of old movies, and just had a great time. Unfortunately, Brad's sister and her family couldn't join us because they are in Oregon and his brother and his family (minus Rachel) could only come up on the last day. We missed having the whole family together but we were happy that Todd and the boys were able to come up and go swimming with us. Needless to say it was a much needed break and it was really hard to go back to work this morning. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Family Pics

Brad's sister and her family came home for Christmas this year so we decided to get family pictures since everyone was home, plus the last pictures we got we were missing two of our newest family members (Grayson and Kaden). Anyways, Brad's mom found someone in the ward to take pictures at the church. It would have worked out wonderfully except the two little ones decided they didn't want to take pictures so....in most the pics Grayson is trying to escape so that he can play in the gym with the basketball and Kaden is crying. We even had to take a few pictures with the basketball in it just so Grayson would sit still. Although the pictures aren't perfect it was nice to capture the moment.

February....where are you?

Let me just say, January has not been our month. It started off bad by Brad and I getting into a fight on New Years Eve (over something ridiculous I might add) and missing our party we had been looking forward to. Then, the director at my job decided he was leaving without much notice which is leaving all of us in a real bind--requiring me to add grant writing to my list of to do's---because I wasn't busy enough, ya know. Next, the whole family had been sick as ever. We've all had the stomach flu as well as awful colds. So....I've decided I'm ready for a new month, a fresh start. Hopefully February holds more happiness and health.

This is why my computer never works

I came into the office this morning and found Grayson down by all the cords pushing buttons and who knows what else. Brad and I are always wondering why the computer isn't working right and now I think I've found the culprit. But...he is so darn cute it's hard to get too angry.

New Year Changes

I can't believe it's already 2009, time sure does fly, especially since having Grayson. Since it was a new year Brad and I decided it was time for some changes. We decided at the end of 2008 that we'd put our townhouse on the market. Much to our suprise we recieved a close to full price offer just last week. The people who bought it still have a house to sell so it may be a little while till we move but we're excited to start looking for another home. I don't think we'd ever do the townhouse thing again but instead look for something with a nice yard for us to enjoy during the summer. Other big news....Brad changed real estate agencies. After over 3 years he left Help-U-Sell and moved to WinStar Real Estate. He hasn't been over there for more than a couple weeks but so far he's enjoying it and keeping himself busy. He was sad to leave everyone at Help-U-Sell but definitely felt like it was time for a change. Besides that we are just enjoying life and are excited about the prospects that 2009 holds for us. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
