My Hair

2011-03-01T14:49:00.000-08:00

Yes---it's true...I got my hair 'did' by my good friend Valerie. She has amazing

talent and I am truly grateful I am so lucky to have received the 'valerie treatment'. :)

Thank you so much Val!

(PS-- I added a pic of my handsome husband Jason because he is the best hubby ever and

oh so good looking! I love hims! YOW!)

Catch Up

2011-01-23T08:50:00.000-08:00

Well, playing catch up on a blog after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years

is a little overwhelming. So I decided to pick a few good pictures of our family

that have been taken over the last 2 months. Enjoy.

Tay at Thanksgiving

Gingerbreadmen the kids decorated

Christmas Stocking that I made...yes it's true..I can be creative

Grady at Christmas

Tay at Christmas

Jason in a tube (how did he get in there?)

And last but not least, my favorite women together on Christmas morning.

I love these girls more than they will ever know.

New Year Resolutions

2011-01-03T14:22:00.000-08:00

I usually have a long list of resolutions, but this year I decided to concentrate on a more realistic list. 3 resolutions and I share them proudly.. :)

Learn about something I know nothing about
Keep my heart open (because a heart is of no use if it's closed)
Swear less (let's face it...I can't stop completely)

I hope this year brings growth, love, and peace to all of my family and friends. I love you all and God bless.

Grady's Birthday!

2010-12-01T12:42:00.000-08:00

I can't believe my oldest son is 6 years old! We threw a starwars birthday party and presents insisted of starwars Lego's and starwars dress ups! Grady chose to have steak for dinner...lol. I ended up making little fillet's with bacon wrapped around them. YUM! Grady chose a chocolate chocolate cake and vanilla bean icecream... This kid is particular! :) I am so proud to be his mommy. Grady is a wonderful boy with a sweet spirit, he's bright, athletic, fun, and a joy to be around. I love you son!

By the way, not to take away from Grady, but does anyone else notice the bald spot on my head in the first picture? what the heck? :)

Kids!

2010-10-25T10:36:00.000-07:00

I wanted to show updated pics of our kids.

I ususally forget my camera wherever we go so I'm lucky to have captured these shots of my cuties!

Grady is so serious in this karate pic. lol

UPDATE

2010-09-12T14:15:00.000-07:00

Wanted to throw out an update on the Workmans! We had a very enjoyable summer and are excited for Fall! Grady is in Kindergarten now and doing quite well. Taylor is enjoying a little more mommy time and so is mommy. We are adapting to Sacramento and growing closer as a family. :) Here are some pics of the last few months!

Love being a family!

2010-06-28T17:34:00.000-07:00

There is nothing more important than being a family and us Workmans have it made! We are so grateful for eachother and this amazing time here on earth we have together. Can you imagine what heaven is going to be like? Wow, I thought this was awesome!

New Adventure in California

2010-05-23T19:35:00.000-07:00

Beautiful day at the Beach, Kids loved it.

New Years Eve Day at the Treehouse Museum

2010-01-01T11:01:00.000-08:00

Talk about a fun day. We spent New Years Eve Day at the Treehouse Museum w/ Aunt Jenny, cousin Addie, and Grandma Rees. They did a countdown to 12 o'clock noon and the kids got their own party bags...so jealous. Anyhow Happy New Years to All! May 2010 bring you happiness!

POPCORN BALL MAKING!

2009-12-22T14:18:00.000-08:00

Ah my favorite Christmas Holiday tradition...making caramel popcorn balls! My grandma taught my mother how to make these delicious treats and my mother in turn taught me. And now we are teaching our children! Here are pics of my mom, my Tay bug, neices Tori and Karli, and myself getting messy!!!

Halloween!

2009-11-03T06:28:00.000-08:00

cutest kids in the universe!

My brother cracks me up!

We had so much fun this Halloween! We trick or treated at Foothill Village in the afternoon and then again that evening in our neighboorhood. Talk about candy overload, which of course makes me happy being the addict I am! :) Also I loved everybody's costume this year. Witch, ladybug, Flash, Bearded Lady, mini mouse, cookie monster, vampress, etc~ No wonder Halloween is my favorite holiday!

Animals!

2009-09-04T16:12:00.000-07:00

I can't think of anything more fun than pretending to be an animal! :) Grady is a dinosaur, Marley is a cheetah, and Taylor is a cat. and my house is a mess... lol

LAGOON!

2009-08-22T07:58:00.000-07:00

Talk about a fun time! My sister, Marley, Grady, and I all went to Lagoon and my son Grady is quite the thrill seeker. He went on the white roller coaster with me! Can you believe that? I almost puked before we got on because I felt like a bad mom taking my 4 year old on an old, creaky rollercoaster. Needless to say, I've never seen Grady so excited. He loved it!

Tony Grove

2009-08-16T07:37:00.000-07:00

We camped at Tony Grove over the 24th of July. Talk about beautiful! Our campsite looked over the lake and was close to a lot of different hiking trails. We fished, swam, hiked, made s'mores, played w/ our squirrel campsite neighbors, and did whatever we could to take advantage of being out in gorgeous mother nature. The kids had so much fun and so did Jason and I. I have a story about a leach if anyone wants to know. :)

more pics of tony grove

Jenny Lake

2009-06-08T12:22:00.001-07:00

Jenny Lake...what can I say? AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL, EXHAUSTING and EXILERATING all at once! My sister, mom, and I took a "girls only" trip to the cabin and decided to hike Jenny Lake! We hiked to the rapids/falls. It was amazing!

Backyard Pool Fun

2009-06-04T10:49:00.000-07:00

So we bought that big pool from Costco that I know all of you have seen there. It was such a great deal and we have gotten plenty of use out of it! Taylor wouldn't go in it at first which is why I don't have any pics of her yet. She loves it now though! :)

Cinco de Mayo

2009-05-11T16:35:00.001-07:00

Sorry it took me this long to post Cinco de Mayo pics. Every year Jason and I decorate the house, cook Mexican food, and let the kids whack a pinata. This year we bought a cactus pinata and filled it w/ toys instead of candy. The kids had a ball and so did I! Hello sombrero hats? Andele! Areba, Areba!

Tay aka Miss Attitude

2009-04-30T08:34:00.001-07:00

This face has so many meanings. This is actually one of my favorite faces. I love my Tay...she's quite the spit fire!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!

2009-04-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

We bought the cutest pirate play sets the other day for Tay and Grady. They had quite the sword fight, but I couldn't catch a good picture as I was playing referee. :)

Cabin Fever

2009-04-20T13:07:00.000-07:00

Cabin Fever literally. My mom and I decided it was time to go to the cabin.
So we packed up the kids and Mike and Tori and headed to Victor Idaho.
Here are some of the pics we took of all our fun!

Weekday Fun

2009-04-03T06:56:00.000-07:00

These are just pics took throughout this last week while being indoors due to snow.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...No it's a flying Cow!

2009-03-23T06:56:00.000-07:00

Salt Lake City was SUPER windy on Sunday so we decided to do some kite flyin!

As you can see, it was so windy I had a hard time getting some killa pics.

And no, your eyes aren't deceiving you, it is a purple cow! Thanks for the fun

and for the kite Grandpa Randy.

Red Butte Gardens

2009-03-23T06:50:00.001-07:00

My brothers Mike and Scott and Jason and I decided to take the kids to Red Butte Gardens on Saturday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, however, a bit windy.

Above we have Walker, Tori, Karli, Taylor, and Grady.

Below we have Tori and Karli, Walker, and Grady. In the

summer time water shoots out where the kids are sitting.

It's a nice "cool down" from the heat!

Here's Daddy Jason.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

2009-03-17T12:19:00.001-07:00

Afternoon Delight..?

2009-03-15T14:07:00.000-07:00

Here is Taylor being an "afternoon delight" because she cannot have a second fruit snack.

Birthday Party Fun

2009-03-01T12:22:00.000-08:00

Grady was invited to his good friend Joseph's birthday party this weekend. They had a blow up bounce-a-ma-jigger, hotwheels track, coloring table, fishing pond, pin the wheel on the car, and much more. Grady, Taylor, and I went and had a lot of fun. Here are some pics...

Daddy and Taylor

2009-02-22T11:17:00.000-08:00

Tay Tay loves her daddy. She is so cute. If she can't see Jason she'll call for him... "Daddy? Daddy?"

SLEEP!

2009-02-22T11:15:00.000-08:00

I love snuggling with my babies!

Thankful

2009-02-19T07:45:00.000-08:00

I love saying prayers with my son Grady. He always seems to be thankful for things I, and probably a lot of people, take for granted. This morning after being thankful for the people in our family Grady begins to say he's thankful for the sun, the rain, the dirt...and on and on. It is music to my ears to listen to my son's prayers. I love you Grady.

Mommy, Daddy, look what I got?

2009-02-14T08:36:00.000-08:00

Well it was 7:30am on this snowy Valentine morning. Taylor, Jason, and I were all snuggled in our beds sound asleep. Next thing I know I hear Grady coming up the stairs in his snow boots. He has a note and it says, "Grady, Happy Valentine's Day. We would love you to play with Joe Joe (neighbor boy) as soon as he wakes up in an hour or so." Yes. Grady actually got himself dressed, put on his snow boots, and headed for his friend's house at 7:30am.

I called Kristi, Joe's mom, around 9:30am to apologize. :) Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Ours has been quite interesting so far. :)

2009 not so fine

2009-02-09T13:06:00.000-08:00

I'm not so sure I like 2009. We have had A LOT of crap happen in 2009 and it's only February. Here are just a few things going on:

1-- Danny, Jason's step-father, had to have a quadrupal bypass
2--Jason lost his job
3--Our good friend's father had a stroke and is in a coma
4--Taylor's post surgery recovery
5--My dearest friend is going through a divorce
6--Our Grandpa Workman thought he was having a stroke and had to go in for testing, including a spinal tap... He is okay, however it was a HUGE scare!
7--A friend of mine miscarried
8--My 2 year old nephew had to have surgery on his throat
9--The Cardinals lost the superbowl. :(

Close Ups!!

2009-02-09T13:00:00.000-08:00

I gotta say nothing is better than close ups. VOGUE!

A Drive Up The Canyon!

2009-01-30T08:09:00.001-08:00

Party Pooper! :)

You can still enjoy the outdoors whether rain or shine, or snow. :)

A Few Fun Pics

2009-01-22T18:23:00.000-08:00

Taylor loves her older brother to take her for a ride in his

pow pow power wheels car. It is too cute.

Here we have Taylor throwing a fit on the kitchen floor.

Man I love my kids.

If you haven't noticed, that is Desitin on the corner of her mouth.

Grady yelled from the living room, "Mommy - Daddy, Tay is eating

toothpaste!" LOL

Grady actually fell asleep like this. Jealous?

Play Doh

2009-01-17T11:03:00.000-08:00

Oh yes, it's all about the play doh. Grady's favorite thing is to cut the play doh with scissors. Taylor pretty much likes all of the play doh fun. Who doesn't?!

Happy 1st Birthday Cousin Addie!!

2009-01-09T14:42:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we celebrated our neice Addisson's 1st Birthday. Here are the reasons I just love when babies turn one..

1. They get to eat their first real piece of cake and when I say real I mean BIG piece of cake!! LUCKY!

2. They get to blow out their first ever candle

3. We are celebrating their life and what it means for them to be a part of our life

4. They get thousands of presents and aren't even interested in one.

5. The look on the parents face of such gratitude for their little ones. And being a mommy myself I feel that happiness and it's the greatest high in life!

& last, but not least, and also this does not happen on a regular basis...you get to see your neice in a tu-tu (spelling? oh well). Talk about precious!! Take a look yourself:

Happy 1st Birthday Addie! We love you very much!

Taylor Post Surgery

2009-01-09T14:35:00.001-08:00

Our daughter Taylor is a TOTALLY different kid. Talk about full of energy and HYSTERICAL! She makes us laugh all day long. She is so sweet and fun and I have to admit I have only wiped her nose once since December 15. This is serious progress as I used to wipe her nose 20+ times a day. Those of you who are around us a lot of the time can attest to that. I am just so grateful that she is doing well and enjoying her life! Thank you Heavenly Father for our Christmas Miracle!

Face Paint

2009-01-09T14:30:00.000-08:00

Mike is looking mighty catterific!

I tried my best to look like a man and I have to give myself props...take away the hair and WAM BAM HELLO MAN!

Grateful

2009-01-03T16:36:00.000-08:00

I wanted to take a moment tonight to express my thanks for my two amazing children Grady and Taylor. Life has never had meaning or purpose like it does now that Grady and Taylor are in our lives. There is never a dull moment. Grady is super smart and asks millions of questions. Taylor is full of energy and life and is always willing to give "loves" whether independent or asked upon. Every night we snuggle on our bed reading, laughing, sharing, tickling, giving kisses, playing, hugging, etc. And every morning Grady asks for a piece of gum (not that he gets one) and Taylor immediately heads for her high chair demanding pancakes. I gotta say it does not get better than this. Every inch of my body and soul is full of love and happiness and I AM GRATEFUL!!! So Grady and Taylor...Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you both and love you forever and ever. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX infinity and we thank our Savior for the wonderful blessing you bring.

Surgery

2008-12-17T14:39:00.000-08:00

Our sweet little Tay is home and doing well. Taylor was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. On Monday Taylor went into Primary Children's for surgery to remove her adenoids and tonsils. While in surgery the doctors thought they discovered a bigger problem. They thought Taylor had an abnormally wide septum and that she would need some extensive surgery soon. The doctors scheduled Taylor for a CT Scan Tuesday morning to research her further. As you can imagine this is not something a mother wants to hear. I was already over the top imaging what Taylor was going through. I prayed and prayed and prayed for a miracle. The next day the cat scan revealed that Taylor did not have an abnormally wide septum and she will not need surgery for it after all!!!!! That was the answer to our prayers! We believe and are so grateful our heavenly father was watching over our little angel and family. What a wonderful blessing.

Taylor does need to have oxygen for a week only when she sleeps. Then if everything goes well with that, she can sleep on her own, like "a baby." In about 6 weeks she will undergo a sleep study to determine if her sleep apnea is under control.

We want to thank everyone involved for all your love and support. We love you and God Bless.

Jesus won

2008-12-11T08:56:00.000-08:00

So I have another cute story about Grady. We were watching TV and the GEICO commercial was on where the cave man is amongst a crowd of people in the stadium and he wins GEICO's greatest customer or other and they show the cave man's face on the jumbo tron as the winning customer. Anyhow, Grady says, "Jesus won mommy". Now that is cute.

Sleepover

2008-12-08T18:47:00.000-08:00

Grady always wants to have his cousins sleep over at our home. I have to tell ya, it's only happened once where we had his cousin Karli spend the night. They had a blast and I think this is why he's all about the sleep over thing.

So tonight Grady was asking, "Mom, can Toria (his cousin Victoria) sleep over?" My response was No because it is a school night. Grady didn't give up..."Mom, can Karli (another cousin) sleep over?" No. same reason. "Mom, can Marley (this one is a friend) sleep over?" No...same reason. He was getting upset so I said, "Grady, can I sleep over?" He looks at me and says, "You're our mom remember?" LOL!!!

I LOVE MY SON GRADY!!!!!

So need my hair done

2008-11-26T15:48:00.001-08:00

Lord help me! My hair person recently had a baby girl and although I am so happy for her, I am desperate to get my hair done. Tammy...help!!!!! (sorry if I mispelled your name)...Also, now that I think about it, this is a very scary picture of me. LOL.

I LOVE MY KIDS!!!

2008-11-26T15:41:00.000-08:00

Check out the buns on Tay in that one picture. Talk about cute as all get out and Grady is handsome as they come. Every day I am so grateful for my family. I feel so blessed...especially this time of year. I love my kids so much. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! WE LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!!!

GO UTES!!

2008-11-22T11:31:00.000-08:00

Today is the most important day in college football. It's BYU Cougars vs. Utah Utes! I have but only one thing to say, "GO UTES! and BOO THE BLUE!"

WE WON, WE WON, WE WON! WHAT A GAME! YAHOO UTES!

Walking!!! Finally!!!

2008-11-18T13:34:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I can officially say that my little girl is walking. It only took her 16 months! :) She has been what I like to call "Frankenstein Walking" for a couple weeks, but now she's walking like a pro. I love this girl.

Silly

2008-11-17T11:10:00.000-08:00

Here we have Mommy and Tay being silly. Being silly is one of our favorite things to be. :)

Great Grandma's and Grandpa's

2008-11-16T09:05:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we, along w/ Jenny and Addie, went to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Workman. It was SO NICE to see them. Grandpa sure loves little babies. He couldn't get enough of Addie and Taylor. Anyone who knows him, knows he LOVES to kiss the back of babies necks. And he says, "Oh, that sweet, sweet precious little baby!" It is so fun to watch Grandpa Workman love those little ones.

We are so grateful for Great Grandma and Grandpa Workman. We are blessed with their examples. I am thankful Grady and Taylor have had the chance to know them and feel their love. They are wonderful spirits and we love them very much. We hope to learn ALL we can from them.

4 Years Old!

2008-11-13T06:51:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday November 12, 2008 Grady turned 4. I can't believe it. He is growing so fast...too fast. :) He is so sweet. He always makes sure he gives me lots of hugs and kisses every day. And whenever we say prayers he never forgets to bless all the grandmas and grandpas.

Another thing about Grady is he is SO independent. He likes to dress himself and put his shoes on (this takes FOREVER) but I have to let him do it because it's good for him, he has to put his own seatbelt on, pour his own milk, zip his jacket (this also takes forever), brush his teeth, and he has to lead the way when we go on walks.

It is so fun watching him grow into a young man. The amount of love I have for my son is more than I can explain. My kids are EVERYTHING to me and I am truly grateful for the examples they are to me in my life. There is no greater blessing.

We are having his birthday party this weekend so I'll post the pictures after that. Thanks for reading. :)

Sacrament Meeting

2008-11-10T07:45:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday was the first time in over a year that I took my children and myself to sacrament meeting. Ironically, the talk was on the importance of sacrament meeting and of taking the sacrament. The past week has been more than a struggle for me and I am so grateful for that meeting as it truly brought me peace. Grady and Taylor seemed to enjoy the meeting as well. Who knows...maybe we'll go again.

Flu Season

2008-11-07T06:37:00.000-08:00

Why is it that we all had the flu about 2 months ago and now Taylor and Grady have it again? That can't be fair right? :(

Snowman

2008-11-06T12:49:00.000-08:00

What is more fun than building a snowman with my son on November 6, 2008? NOTHING! Grady and I built this snowman today while Tay had her nap. Grady insisted on a carrot for the nose. I asked him if we should make eyes and Grady said we didn't need to. He was too excited for the carrot nose I guess. I love this kid. :)

Beautiful Outdoors

2008-11-06T12:40:00.000-08:00

I have to say I love the Beautiful Outdoors. Yesterday it snowed and every now and then the snow flurries would turn into BIG snowflakes. It's beautiful to watch if you can find the time. Today the snow is melting exposing the fall leaves that have fallen. It's truly a beautiful site. Grady and I will stay outside until our toes are frozen and our noses are dripping. It is so much fun! The last picture is actually Halloween morning's sunrise. Breathtaking aye?

These are all pictures I took in my front yard.

Let's Hear It For Obama!

2008-11-05T07:44:00.000-08:00

"That out of many, we are ONE; that while we breathe, we HOPE." --Obama

I am truly grateful for our new president Barak Obama. God bless America.

VOTE OBAMA!

2008-11-04T07:49:00.000-08:00

Well today is Election Day and I will be voting for Obama! I believe he will truly be that "breath of fresh air" our country needs. I believe in Obama's progressive goals: pulling out of Iraq, introducing universal health care, reducing America’s dependence on oil, battling climate change, strengthening national security, ridding Washington of corruption, and improving our schools. VOTE OBAMA!!

Costumes!

2008-11-01T08:08:00.000-07:00

Adults enjoy dressing up as much as the kids do! Costume breakdown: Mike-Zoot Suit, Jason-Joker, Emily-80's Rock Star, Scott-Pimp

Halloween 2008

2008-11-01T08:00:00.000-07:00

Low Rider

2008-10-30T07:12:00.001-07:00

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

2008-10-28T13:24:00.000-07:00

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?

2008-10-28T06:58:00.000-07:00

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

2008-10-27T09:42:00.000-07:00

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

2008-10-26T13:01:00.000-07:00

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

Boo At The Zoo

2008-10-26T12:51:00.001-07:00

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

2008-10-22T07:33:00.000-07:00

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!

Mommy and Grady

2008-09-07T19:39:00.000-07:00

Grady is the most wonderful boy in the entire world. Last night before he fell asleep, he turned to me and said, "I love you so much mommy." I was flying! I am one lucky mommy!

Cloudy

2008-09-07T19:37:00.000-07:00

This was barely this last week! I love it when mother nature gets cloudy, windy, and mysterious. You just know she has something more to say!

Family portrait

2008-09-07T19:30:00.000-07:00

I found this and had to post it! Like I said before, I love family portraits and

this one is priceless. Check out that bow on Tay...get bigger right? LOL.. Daddy and Grady look extremely handsome. Woot-woot!

Swimming

Here we have my niece Victoria, Grady, and neighbor Jo Jo. They all had a ball swimming in the pool! Too fun!

Everyday Taylor

2008-09-07T19:25:00.000-07:00

This is everyday Taylor. She is such a character. She loves to sit in "big girl chair" and pretend she is as big as her brother. What a joy!

Nail clippers

2008-09-05T10:52:00.000-07:00

I had to share this too as Taylor cracks me up everyday. Last night she found the nail clippers and grabbed her foot pretending to trim her toe nails even though she had moccasins on. LOL! I love this girl!

Melt My Heart...again

2008-09-05T10:48:00.000-07:00

Last night I was talking to Grady and asked him what his favorite color was? He said, "pink, red, and blue." I then asked Grady, "What is your favorite thing? What makes you the happy?" Without any promptings from me or Jason, Grady says, "Mommy, Daddy, and Tay."

I melted...into mush. Talk about the sweetest thing a mom could hear. I love my son!

The Fam

2008-08-26T06:53:00.001-07:00

Family pictures are priceless...even when moms and dads could use makeovers.

Grady

2008-08-26T06:51:00.000-07:00

Grady really is a good older brother. He has a heart of gold. He is my handsome boy.
