Grady's Numero Uno

We had a BASKETBALL and BASEBALL party
with YUM cake and cookies.

Thank you everyone who could come and those also
who showed there love in other ways.

He got lots of fun gifts, and only fitting for his
baseball and basketball party was his High School Musical Game.....
Just kidding, his hoop, although he does love the game too!
Can you tell he LOVES basketball?

I even got a kiss, so it must have been an ok birthday, right?

Grady's #1

Due to some complicating factors a.k.a loosing my phone!!! I wanted to let anyone who I didn't get a hold of know that we are have a birthday party/get together for Grady on Sat. the 9th. It is at my mom's house: 11030 N 5650 W in Highland from
4-6. No gifts are needed, we would just love for you to come and eat some treats and celebrate the wonderful one year mark! Love you all!

SPRINGTIME

We love springtime at our house for a couple reason, warmer weather, and a visit from Eli's family! This year we got to see Papa, Amma and Tait for a whole week and loved every second of it. We also met up with Jenny, Will, Tommy, and Connie and Frank who were visiting and went to yummy Paridise Bakery.
Along with the warmer weather, Grady finally gets to get out of the house and play, and LOVES it. He is such an outside person. He loves to play on the playground by our house. He also loves taking walks, and basketball hoops. We took a walk on Sunday and every time we passed a basketball hoop he would point at it and try to climb out of his stroller, a couple of times, if the hoop was low enough, Eli would take him over to it and let him hang on it for a couple of seconds. It made his day! Here are some pictures from the WONDERFUL spring we have had already...

I love this picture, Grady has the best Amma in the WHOLE world!

TEETH

This one's for you Amma, we finally got a picture of teeth. Only the bottom two, he now has 4 on the top, and does not like to show them off, or have us put our fingers in his mouth, imagine that. We wish they would all come in in one day. Grady is miserable when they are breaking through. Poor guy, we are almost there though.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!

No, it's not Christmas, it's MARCH MADNESS! We LOVE college basketball at our house, so we decided to share our love with our family and invite them over for a PARTY. We even dressed Max and Grady for the occasion. Grady is sporting my team and Max is sporting Eli's. We are so sad that it has to end, but are happy that Papa, Amma and Tait can share the end with us!

Brady waiting for his UCLA Bruins to play, another Pac 10 lover, YEAH!!!

Jesse eating some nummy pizza, (BYU had already played and lost, that's why no love is shown by the Y tee he usually wears)

Nikki and I


Leli and Tyson, they both look thrilled, eh??

Max and Graders.

Well, from the Slesk family HAPPY HOOPS!

Super Cool Shoes!!!

So my sister and her husband make the coolest shoes ever!!! They made Eli and I a pair for our birthday and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. Check them out.

Just in Case You Were Wondering.......

Well, just in case you all were wondering what Grady, I mean we were up to, here is an update. YEAAAHH! I recently have tried cooking, a BIG stretch for me, but I LOVE it! I am trying my hardest to be more domestic and despite many failed attempts I think I might be starting to get the hang of somethings, I've got a LONG way to go. I also have tried sewing more since Eli is the BESTEST husband in the whole world and got me a sewing machine for Christmas! BEST PRESENT EVER!!!! That's really all that's new with me.

Eli has been working REALLY hard lately. He is studying to take the test to be licensed to sell securities, and on top of that has been working extra hard on putting together a business plan for his interview with State Farm in March. We are very excited to see were this next year takes us. We will keep you posted.

Last but not least Grady, my MONSTER. He had his 9 month appt today and is doing fabulous. Here are his game time stats....he is 70th perc for height, 30 perc for weight and his sweet little head is in the 20th perc (heheehehe). He has the tiniest head. I love it! NO joke this kid is EVERYWHERE. Sometimes I can't keep up with him. He has got the FUNNEST little personality and makes us laugh so hard. Well here are some pictures to back me up.....

He still has a fascination with the bath and his ducks. He sticks the whole head in his mouth.


I honestly DON'T know where this came from because I HATE doing it, but Grady LOVES "helping" me with laundry. Everytime I open the laundry room door, he drops whatever he is doing to crawl as fast as he can in with me to help. Understand his helping consists of pulling out all the clothes I put in the basket, but hey it's the thought that counts, right?


AWWW...look at that sweet and innocent face (notice the books in the background) wait for it.....



Now THAT looks more like it!



Here is another strange obsession, our night stands. Can you tell he has the time of his life??!!

I feel like my child NEVER stops eating, his favorite...suckers!







Oh, man. SOOOOO many pictures. Sorry so long, LOVE YOU ALL!
