Goodbye Elder Dangerfield!

My brother Jared left on his mission last Wednesday! I can't believe it. I am so proud of him and the man he has become. He is in the South Africa MTC for 3 weeks and then he is going to Uganda. Grady sure is going to miss his Uncle Jerry! I am sure the next two year will fly by.

(This picture was taken the night that Jared was set apart. THe night before he left.)

Funny Happenings

These are just some of the funny things that Grady has been doing. I just wanted to document them. I can't keep up with all the funny/cute things that he does. Life is constantly changing.

Grady loves my parents house! He walks up and down the hallway. He has to go into the bathroom and grab "his" rubber duckies. It is so funny that he knows right where they are at.

I don't know why but this made me laugh so hard. I think it is one of those things that only I think is funny. I gave Grady a piece of bread to eat because he needed a quick snack. He walked all over the house taking bites out of it. He thought he was so cool.
He is just like his Dad. Regan loves to eat just a plan piece of bread. To me that just does not sound good!
I put on a Baby Einstein (Old MacDonald is his favorite) for Grady and just got done changing his diaper. He seriously did not move from this position for like 10 minutes! Which is pretty funny because he really isn't that into TV so I couldn't believe he was so into it.

Family Pics

Okay... so this is a really long post and it has a TON of pictures! But it's only because I love my family so stinkin much so I just have to share :) We took these pictures in Saint George while we were all together. I love them! Here we go...

Love this kid! He is a stud... when he shaves:)

Best Grandparents EVER. Grady sure loves them and thinks they are the cats pajamas.

The boys of the family. Ow ow handsome!

Love this one! Brothers:)

My best friends!

Love these two so much.

Love this man!

Love this sister! And Ridgey poo! Isn't she gorgeous? Jealous.

Love this little Fam! Aren't they the cutest! I just wish they lived closer so I could play with them everyday.

Oh man I love this little boy! It was hard to take pictures of him this time because we were outside. When he is outside this little boy loses all focus... he loves being outside and was in little boy heaven.

I feel blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Sunny St. George

A couple weekends ago we went to St. George to see Amanda, Travis and Trey. It was such a good weekend but it was so busy. Our family went down for Trey's baby blessing so while we were down there we decided to do family pictures and Jared decided to go to the Temple for the first time. It was such a wonderful weekend full of family activities. I sure love my family!

Grady was in HEAVEN with the warm weather and being outside. He crawled up and down the side walk and thought it was so funny.

Handsome Jared in his new suit for his mission. I still can't believe it!
Cute little Trey. He is the cutest little guy and such a good baby. I miss him already.

Loves!

This was so much fun! We got Grady's pictures taken and he was so cute. I couldn't even stand it! He seriously was putting on the charm. I guess he is a little model. :) I posted a bunch because I honestly couldn't just pick one.

I feel old

Last weekend was a monumental weekend for us. We got our first babysitter! Grady has been watched countless times by Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins but we have never left him with an actual babysitter. I felt so awkward calling to ask, I felt like I needed lessons or something. We asked a sweet girl from our ward and Grady did so great. I was so proud of him. I am lucky that he loves people.

It was just such a weird feeling. I felt like I was officially a parent. I don't know how often I will be doing that but it was a good start for us. We went to a Ward Adult Activity and really had a nice time. I really can't imagine paying for a babysitter AND paying to go out to eat or to movie. Luckily our activity was free :)

Poor Guy

This happy little boy is sick! Pooh! It breaks my little heart to see him so miserable. He is normally quite healthy. He really hasn't been very sick and I know that is very lucky. He has a strong immune system, just like his Momma. ;) I hate not knowing what to do... Do I go to the Doctor and pay a fortune or do I wait?? I am afraid if I go to the Doctor I will just be told Yep, he is sick and there is not much we can do. I am going to see how he does tonight and if he is not better in the morning I am going to take him in. I just want my happy little man back. For how sick he is he still SO sweet and all he wants to do is cuddle.
