A weekend in Powell River

This past weekend we went to Powell River to watch Darryl play in a hockey tournament and to visit with Grandma RonaLee, Grandpa Ken, Aunt Christa, Uncle Darryl, and Easton. It was a lot of fun to visit with everyone and especially neat to see Grady and Easton play together.

guess he was still hungry!!!)

Mr. Fix-It

We've been doing a bit of home renovations around here lately and Grady has been watching closely. He wears his hard-hat all day long, carries around the hammer, and tells me that he, "works".

Kick!

I've been experiencing trouble with loading and viewing videos on the blog, so I am trying something new. I've uploaded a video to YouTube and added the link below. Hopefully, this works!

Grady with his Grandpa (x3!)

Grady is a very lucky little boy - he has not one, not two, but THREE Grandpas! They all love him dearly and he definitely feels the same way. After a visit with a Grandpa (any of them!), all we hear for days after is, "Pa-pa? Pa-pa?"

A game of keep-away

Grady picked this stick up on a walk and brought it home.

He teased Ryder with it.

Ryder stole it away (Grady yelled at him).

Then, he stole it back ...

and Grady wins!

Grady and his "babies"

Grady has taken a special liking to four stuffies: the brown monkey, the blue monkey, the green monster, and the glow worm (the ball is in the pictures because he was playing with it).

He calls these stuffies his, "babies" and each one gets tucked in with him at naptime and at nightime. And, each morning, he carries them all downstair for the day. It's pretty cute.

Maui!

We just returned home from a two-week vacation in Maui. We went with Auntie Heather, Grandma, and Grandpa. Grady was really good the whole time we were away (except when it came to naptime - he just didn't want to sleep during the day - guess he was afraid he might miss something exciting!).

We spent a lot of time at the beach and at the pool with a couple of day trips to the aquarium and the north end of Maui. It was very enjoyable to play all day long and just relax in the sunshine. And, it was really great for Grady to get to spend so much time with his Aunt and grandparents ... they spoiled him with loads of attention and fun games!
