Low Rider

First of all "Low Rider" is one of my all time favorite songs. Anyhow, here we have Taylor's favorite thing to do... have Grady take her for a ride.

Old or New

This story might make you cry so beware...

Grady was in my mom's garage and saw a dog kennel that belonged to my dog Chance who passed away a few years ago. Grady asked grandma "who's cave is that?" My mom told him it belonged to their dog Chance who passed away because he was really, really old. She said that he was old like great grandma and that dogs get old just like people. Grady sat and listened and then after a moment asked my mom, "Grandma...are you old or new?" My mother's eyes filled with tears and she said, "I'm medium." Grady, the sweet spirit he is, then said to my mother, "Grandma, I want you to be new."

Wow, my son Grady totally understands what life is all about...love. He is such a great example to me and I am so grateful for him.

Alarm?

Don't you just love when you set your alarm and your child wakes you up 40 minutes before your alarm is set to go off? It's not as if I can just fall back asleep because by the time I do fall back asleep, I'm going to have to get up in 10 minutes. It happened to me this morning and actually it happens to me alot! However, I have to admit that it has been nice to hang out with the little man for a couple of hours this morning just him and I. Good mommy-son bonding. :) Gotta love it baby!

Fall Leaves

I went on a walk last evening and it is GORGEOUS outside! Sugarhouse (where we live) is breathtaking during Fall season. The streets are lined with trees with bright yellow, orange, red, brown, green, and even black leaves. It was about 6:30pm and the sun was beginning to set. I began to feel a sort of calm, serenity. It was beautiful. I am so grateful for the beauty this "place" has to offer. It allows the craziness of life to stop for a moment and bring me to where I like to be..."home". I hope everyone who reads this is enjoying life and what mother nature has to offer. I love you all.

Outside

Here the kids are enjoying mother nature while the weather is still tolerable. We LOVE being outside.

Boo At The Zoo

The first pic is Grady, Tay, and I on the train at the Zoo. The train is always the highlight of the day for Grady. Tay was so tired she passed out.

Next you have my mom, Grady, Tay, and I all at Boo At The Zoo! It was super crowded, but still lots of fun. Here we are dancing to the live band. Grady and Tay really like to groove to the music!

Pepper

Okay so I have to share THE YEAR'S FUNNIEST STORY...at least I thought it was. :) Jason went in the kitchen and noticed there was pepper ALL OVER the place. When we asked Grady what happened he said, "It wasn't me, It was Tay." Jason and I then asked Grady, "How did Tay reach the pepper?" Grady says and I quote, "She jumped up and grabbed the pepper. And then when she landed she did a back flip."

WHAT? IS THIS KID FOR REAL? I laughed so hard I thought my stomach was going to pop!

Monday Night

Grady and I took pictures of each other last night and I promised I would post them on our blog so here you go. :)

Taylor Tantrums
