Four Month Doctor Appointment

Grady is over four months, but we just had his appointment today. He weighed 16lbs 14 oz (70%). He is 26 inches tall(90%). He is so strong. I mean pull out all your hair if he gets a hold of it, strong. He had been rolling over, but now he has added up on the knees rocking and push ups. If he wants something bad enough he will just roll until he gets to it. Grady is an easy baby. He sleeps from 9pm-7am, I almost always have to wake him up, because I want him to take a morning and afternoon nap. He feeds good. You know that he need a bottle if he cries, that is all it would be, a quick fix. He loves to play with his toys on the floor. He still is not a fan of the swing, but loves his jumperoo. Kylie loved the jumperoo as well. We are starting solids today, yeah. He loved his cereal and bananas. Happy 4 months old Grady Ray!

I have taken the before and after pictures of our house. We moved into Jason and Sybil's house just up the road after they found a place in Heppner, Oregon. We started renovations in June and we moved just this last Wednesday. We painted, added new flooring, new cabinets and counter tops, and new appliances. We have settled in and finished most of the decorating. We have just a hand full of projects left and then it will be back to school and getting my classroom ready for the next school year. We are going to enjoy the last few weeks of summer! I am so happy about having a dishwasher, a bathtub and more room along with a bedroom for Grady. It was been so exciting to finish this project and settle in. We are so happy with the way that everything turned out.

We celebrated Grady's baptism last Sunday. We had it be part of the mass in Ellensburg at Saint Andrews. He was such a good baby. We had a bunch afterwards at my mom and dad's to celebrate with all our family that attended. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family to surround Grady with so much love on his baptism.

My dad's parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with dinner out with our entire family in Yakima at Tony's steak house. It was a great evening, wonderful food, and a delicious ice cream cake. Congratulation on 60 years of being married. You are an inspiration to us all of love and dedication to the sacrament of marriage. We love you Granny and Papa!

Summer

Grady at 3 months old. He is such a happy baby. He had mastered rolling over and is working on sitting up. He is growing so fast.

We are remodeling an old (1929) ranch house. It has been a fun project for the summer. Kylie got to paint her own room pink. We will post more pictures when we have more progress to show.

Kylie at her swim lessons in Ellensburg every Monday and Wednesday for the past four weeks. I know that she loves her swim lesson days. That is what it is all about.

Our bedtime routine is bath time then stories with both kids. It has been so fun to watch these two become best friends. Kylie really loves her brother. Grady lights up when he sees his big sister. I love you both so much!

4th of July

We celebrated Nany's birthday at Katie and Bryan's house on Sunday evening.

Katie made the more delicious cupcakes with Lindt chocolate, yummy!

Grady and Daddy

Kylie playing with all the kids. This girls loved her some sparklers! Uncle Bryan and Uncle Craig did some firework. It was so pretty to watch all the fireworks in Royal City. It was a wonderful weekend with lots of family time!

Monday was so relaxing. We spent the day at home, just hanging out, enjoying the sunshine.

We took the kids fishing right behind out house. It was perfect. Kylie caught her first fish right when we got there. She had to real it in all by herself. She was so proud of her fish.

Daddy and Grady put the pole in the water.Grady is a big helper.

More sparklers on Monday night. Ryan put on a little show before we went to bed last night. Kylie was very impressed. He did pick some good ones. Thanks Daddy!
