Scouting Birthday Locations

Somebody's turning 1 soon! Yesterday we headed to the park to scout out a party location.

When we got there I immediately needed to fuel up. You just never know when you might run into a tiger in the jungle.

Adventure is my middle name.

Come to my party and you too could climb on this ladder.

Mommy got to thinking she doesn't have many pictures of her with her boys. This one turned out pretty good.

How embarrassing for Grady that he wore the same jacket that I did.

Oh yeah, Grady loves the park too.

One cool thing about the park we're looking at having the party is that there is a nice little nature path right next to it.

Grady found a stick. Actually he found about 3,467 sticks.

Photo by Grady. If he could find some better subjects he could make a lot of money as a photographer.



Wheeeeeeeeeee!

The Pancake Breakfast

Last weekend we went to the pancake breakfast at Mom's school. They called it the Spring Fling...but we were mostly interested in the pancakes.

Big Brother put a hurtin on some pancakes. And look at that excellent form with the fork.

I did some pancake damage too, but I use a hammer. Because I always have a hammer.

After breakfast we checked out the book fair.

As you may have noticed in the above pic of me wolfing the pancakes, I brought my own money to buy the books. It was 2-for-1 at the book fair so I got a steal.

Meanwhile, I pretty much just relaxed with my hammer. Thumbs up dude.

Spring means baseball. Looks like a strike to me!

I can't talk (or eat popcorn). But if I could I would say let me out of this thing so I can play Mom!!

No really, I love my hammer.

A Day With The Ladies

Today was pretty awesome. Mom picked me and my friend Keely up from school and she came to my house to play. We had huge fun.


As if coming over to play with me wasn't enough, the main attraction was Ms. Audrey and Ms. Becca. Me and Keely love Ms. Audrey. She used to be our teacher before she took a different job. But obviously she misses us. We love Ms. Becca too but we see her every day.


I've had April 3rd marked on my calendar for awhile. It pretty much couldn't get here soon enough.


I taught Keely how to play my computer game.


See that snowball I'm packing? That was meant for Dad.

This poor little guy stood at the door and watched big brother. It may have been the happiest moment ever when he got to take his first sled ride.


Next year we might need a bigger sled. Of course, the way it's going around here, maybe it will just snow all summer too.

Let's see that spring sledding in action.

Seriously, it's supposed to snow again this weekend. We deserve better.


Meet Pantry Man. Always there to put away the groceries. We spared you the 2 1/2 minute video.


Quite a range of emotions here don't you think?




We'll let this speak for itself. Please note this is the bathroom door.

We Did Not Sign Up For This

So here's the thing, the backyard isn't supposed to look like this on March 28. Spring, where did you go?


See those four teeth in there? Well, they've got four friends who need to get here ASAP. Otherwise I'm doing great. Felt a little sick the other day but I think I'm back.


Although you can't see much behind my head in this closeup, that's what the streets are supposed to look like in March. It's tough to ride the bike in the snow!

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.
