I KNOW, I KNOW. . .

Apparently we took a blog vacation because it's been so long since we've posted a new blog. We've stayed so busy and so much has happened since our last post that I don't even know where to start! We visited Grady's new Godbrother Max in Seneca, Andy went to Jamaica for work, Nana came to have fun with Grady while we went to the Carolina Cup in Camden, Grady went to his first Easter Egg Hunt, Grady turned ONE!, we had lots and lots and lots of visitors, I turned THIRTY, on top of our regular working, playing and sleeping schedule. Grady is crawling about 30 mph, pulling up on anything he can get his little hands on, and laughing hysterically any chance he can get. We have more pictures from the past month than we know what to do with, so I'm going to start slowly - here are just a couple cute ones of Grady. I'll do his birthday, his 12 month pictures and my birthday pictures separately.

FEB WAS BUSY

We have had a very hectic February, but it has all been fun. Grady started crawling and he has gotten into everything. Mimi and Granddaddy came for a visit and got to spend some good quality time with Grady. Grandaddy and I got to slip out and do a little bottom fishing. I have been trying to get him on the boat for years and it finally worked out. I hope we have as much fun in March as we did in Feb. Enjoy the miscellaneous of pictures from the month.

Jason tries so hard to make Grady a Gamecock fan, but Grady just laughs at him.

Kayce came over to hang out and before we knew it she had Grady in the tub splashing around. Thank you for being such a good friend.

Getting the boys ready for football season.

Grady loves to be outside and he really likes his swing.

Mimi took Grady for a ride around the neighborhood while Granddaddy cleaned the fish.

Grady was a little nervous about the bearded Granddaddy at first, but as you can see they ended up being friends.

Mimi, Grady wants to do this every year on his birthday.

Grady got busted streaking across the living room. Hannah Pulaski gave Grady her slide since she got a bigger one and Grady loves it.

Mr. Craig went fishing with us and got to have some Grady time. Look at all the fish fillets in the background.

Craig, Granddaddy, and I ran out about 40 miles southeast of Charleston and bottom fished. The weather was perfect although it was a little cold. We had a wonderful day on the water and it was so clam on the way in we sat down and drove with our feet. Can't wait to do it again. This is Grandaddy with a White Grunt.

GRADY LEARNS HOW TO DRIVE

Grady has decided that he likes convertable cars and he is ready to drive.

BULLDOZER BOOK

Nana, he sure does like his bull dozer book.

NEW CAR

We decided to trade in both of our Tahoes (since I have a company truck. Thank you Malphrus) and get Morgan a new car. We are doing our part to stimulate the economy. It actually saved us about $800 per month with insurance and payments, so it was kind of a downsizing. As you can tell, Morgan was pretty happy with her new toy. It was supposed to be her Birthday present, but she got it early. If you call her on her cell and she is driving, she can actually talk to you through the cars speakers.

BATH TIME VIDEOS

I know Grady is going to hate us in 10 years for publishing these videos, but they are too cute not to share.

FEB WITH GRADY

Mama gave Grady a Mohawk to make Mrs. G smile when she came to babysit.

Grady just found out that his Grandparents are getting together to buy him his first car.

I think we are going to have to get a swing set.
