Whoa, Grandpa Danny Turned 60!

Hi there. Thanks for swinging by the new website.

We got a park close to our house that we can walk to. That means swinging and sliding pretty much whenever we want.

Have you ever wondered how workers move houses? Well just ask Grady. This is his latest architectural wonder.

And now...a bedtime story by Grady.

"This is a battery story. The battery was in his leg. He swallowed it and it went down into his leg. And then to get it out he needs a high-lick remover. Yep, that's what he needs." -- You mean heimlich maneuver? -- "That's what I said, he needs a high-lick remover...yep."

Last weekend we got a chance to go see all the cousins. Besides Grandpa turning 60 years old (whoa), the highlight was probably jumping on this trampoline with Luke.

We got some tricks huh?

Mom says I look like a moose here. But I don't think I look like a moose at all. I mean, mooses have antlers or something.

Grady, you rack 'em...

...and I'll break.

I'll eat pretty much anything you put within arms reach. Note to potential babysitters...I'll eat anything you put within arms reach.

By the way, I'm looking for my banana. Holla at me if you find it.

Dad and me killed some time in the yard taking my senior pictures. I mean, just some pictures.

Lexi and me chillin on the couch. We're looking forward to her visit this summer.

I love my mommy and she loves me.

Alright then, smell ya later.

A New Beginning

Long time followers of Grady World and Club Colin...we present to you a new beginning. Let's face it, Daddy was doing a horrible job with the updates. Maybe with this new setup he'll get motivated. It can't hurt right? Anyway, the old blogs are officially over. Everything will be here instead. And lucky for you all the old pictures and what not are all here now! Yippee!!! Alright, let's get into it...

First up is Colin's big photo shoot last week. You know he's getting bigger all the time so we figured we better get some of those expensive kinds of pictures taken. Here's most of them...yes we know a lot of them look the same.

What else have we been doing since January? Not much really. We've watched a little TV.

And we built some shelves in the basement.

Let's see that in motion...

Little C started finding his way all over the house...

He was pretty proud of himself when he figured out he could get up a few stairs.

You know, no one ever said life would be easy...never give up!

Boys night is the real deal. We like hats and blankets. And we usually have some popcorn too.

One night we took Boys Night to a whole new level when Colton and Carter came over while their Mommy and Daddy had a night out. It took some work for us to even get one this good.

Look at that little monkey. No really, there's a monkey.

The reason my face looks like this is because I'm going so fast. Super fast.

Here's Big G acting like an old man in his rocking chair.

Hanging with the neighborhood fellas. They're good dudes.

Here we are in a basket, just being cool.

When I'm getting around, I've got to stay hydrated.

Trust me when I tell you this, I will be designing and building some big buildings some day.

Thank goodness we don't live in some horrible cold place like Minnesota where it snows all the time, but we did take advantage of the white stuff when we had it.

After all that we're feeling dirty. A buddy bath it is.

Good Grief It's Cold Out

Brownies anyone?

Colin and me are like best friends. He's pretty much the best wrestler I know.

Computer time at our house is getting more and more competitive. If you're ever at my house I'll wow you with my skills.

I've always said I was going to be a construction worker when I grow up. But if that doesn't work out, I've always got bowling. I torched the lanes for a 91 the other day including a strike in the 10th frame! PBA here I come.


Long story short, we had boys night last weekend while Mom went to a party. This is actually a gangster hat and boy do I wear it well.

Later we watched Toy Story, ate popcorn and all wore crazy hats. We're probably the funnest dudes of all time.

If you're sitting there wondering what we're doing right now, it probably looks something like this.

A Jolly First Christmas

My first Christmas was rockin!

My first Christmas was just marvelous. As you can see I was impressed with the spread of presents here. We had like 8 Christmases!!!

There were so many presents I didn't know what to do with myself.

One thing I know for sure is that I'm a seasoned road-tripper. Fortunately I got a comfy seat.

Did I mention I eat a lot of different stuff. This looks like peas. A word to the wise, watch your plate when you're around me because I'm known to just snatch up any food I see!

Rock on!

I Just Felt Like Crawling

One day sitting around the house...I just felt like crawling. So I did.

If there were a closeup picture of me it would probably look like this.

I do love me some bathtime.

Of course I look great here. But notice Mom, this is how she likes the pictures cropped.

One advantage of being able to sit up is that you can actually see into the boxes of toys.

It only looks like I'm reading. What I'm actually doing is drumming.

This pretty much sums up what we all think about this cold weather.

My first Thanksgiving was fun...this is a rare moment of alone time.

Other times I was being held by Papa Danny...

or Grandma Cheri...

or one of my cousins like Lauren. It was a lot of fun!

The chances of getting a really good picture out of this group, well, it's not that great.

This is the longest post of all time.

"Blue."

Rewind to Halloween, I was a lion.

A lion and a frog hugging, who would have thought?

Tis The Season To Get Ready For Christmas

We keep saying we'll do a better job with these websites but for some reason we would rather just play all the time.

Don't tell Colin, but most of these toys that he plays with are just my old toys.

It was nice to see some family on Thanksgiving...and to have a battle royale with my cousins Jake and Luke.

Grandma and I filled out our Christmas lists. In case you were wondering, this year I'm asking for "whatever Santa gets me, he'll pick out something good."

The weather outside has been frightful and bundling up and playing in the first snow was so delightful.

We did finally come to our senses and got out of the cold to come in and put up the Christmas tree.

Funny thing, we have a lot more ornaments lower on the tree this year.

With all this talk about Christmas, you're probably wondering what I was for Halloween. Ribbet.
