Winter Time



It finally looks like winter time in Royal City. It started last Wednesday and we ended up not having school Thursday or Friday. It has been a wonderful four day weekend. We have taken full advantage of being home and relaxing. Kylie ended up making snow angels and we went sledding behind the four wheeler tonight.

Lunch with a Friend

Grady was a good eater boy. He ate the entire mac n' cheese lunch a Roadhouse including a brownie.
Grady and I met up with Danae and Colt for lunch at the Roadhouse before Christmas. It was great to catch up and have some time to say "hi." Colt is a cutie and he slept through the entire lunch, what a good baby. I am sure there two boys will be good friends.

Christmas Cookies


We spent Friday afternoon with the Jarman family. It was a great afternoon. Kylie had fun playing with the girls. We decorated cookies with Avery and June before we left. Kylie and I had a movie date with Grandma to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks." Kylie liked the movie and we were off to Uncle Nick's birthday party.

We spent Christmas Eve in Ellensburg. We went to mass after watching the Seahawks game with friends. We made a quick trip to Fred Meyer before church for a special item, when I get back out to the car, it was dead. So, Grandpa to the rescue for a quick jump then off to Christmas mass. Church was wonderful. Kylie didn't make it through the entire service, so Grandma and Ky went driving around to look at Christmas lights. Then we were headed to Granny and Papa's house for a wonderful Clam Chowder dinner.We waited for my brother, the three of them were at the game in Seattle. Kylie feel asleep right after we got done with dinner. We opened gifts then Grady feel asleep. We finished the night with a family game. I can say that THE GRAY's are a little competitive, o.k. a lot, but still fun.

We spent the night in Eburg. Ryan drove back to Royal to check on all the cattle before we got up. He was back, had breakfast, then opened gifts. We got the kids ready, a Christmas photo for my mom's Christmas card, then we were off to come back to Royal for dinner with Nany and Ba. We made it home in time to open presents from Santa, then naps. We had one more party at Nany and Ba's with all the Stewart's. It was a busy couple of days, but so much fun to get to spend so much time with our wonderful families.

Play Date

Kylie begs for her cousin Maddie to come and play. We were able to get the girls together at our house to play last Tuesday. They had a great time. They really are great friend and get along so well. Ryan decided the girls needed to ride horses and he brought Sarah home for a ride before lunch. Nany came over after lunch, so each girl had a horse to ride. Kylie rose Sarah and Maddie on Sparky Boy. We had a great time riding, even Grady had to have a turn. I think that spring will bring a lot of time a horseback. We love you Maddie!

Lemon


My aunt brought Ryan some barn kitten for our shop over by Grandma Shirley. She brought three kittens, Kylie loves animals. She told her dad that was wanted a kitten and poof we have a new pet. Ryan could only catch one, poor kitty that got caught. Lemon is what Kylie calls the new kitty. She is a wonderful cat and take a lot of abuse from both of my kids. I found Lemon hiding in Kylie stuff animal box the other day. Thanks Aunt Teresa for our new favorite kitty, Lemon.

Uncle Nick's Birthday



We stayed the rest of the day after Grady's doctor appointment to help Uncle Nick celebrate his birthday. Happy Birthday!

Nine Months Doctor Appointment

Grady went to the the doctor on the 23rd of Dec. for his 9 month check up. He weighted 21lbs 11.5oz and was in the 75% for weight. This was after he has had a bad stomach bug for over a week. Grady was 28" and that is also the 75% for length. He needed two shots, but he did good. He is right on track and started to walk after we left the doctors office. It is official he is a walking boy.
