Glasses????

No, not really. Just goofy ones Grady had to wear for an eye exam with Dr. Sanders today. He thought they were pretty cool, but I think he may want to reconsider!

Proud Dad Moment

I guess this was the next on the list for Grady to have. He is officially a sharp shooter. Chris helped him and he was able to shoot BB's at an aluminum can and hit it three times.

Guess he will be big enough to go hunting with Dad when the new baby comes this fall ;)

Latest Additions

I couldn't find two exact matches for Big/Little Brother shirts, but I think these will do.

Weekend Highlights

The Bergbowers took a little trip across the Mississippi this past weekend to let Grady have some Momma and Daddy time before the chaos starts. I'm starting a part-time job and then of course, new baby in a few months. We had a nice trip and enjoyed our time away.

Didn't notice the word at the bottom until after I took the picture, but kinda funny.
The view of the city from our hotel window was really pretty.

City Museum was a big hit with Grady. We had taken him there a few years ago. He only gets better at the monkey business. Yes, that is Grady and his Daddy way up there in the air.

Grant's Farm was a good stop too. He loved feeding the goats and said he would feed his baby brother a bottle just like those goats. Ummm....well, maybe.

Grady bought and stuffed a puppy at Build-a-Bear in the Science Center for his baby brother too. He's gonna be wonderful at this big brother stuff!

T-Ball Season is Here

Grady's team has their first game in the books.

T-Ball has sure changed since I played eons ago. No one gets out, no one wins or loses. It is basically practice against another team. Not complaining, just weird.

The final batter for the inning gets to hit a home run. Whether the ball goes to the outfield or the pitcher, it is a home run. Grady was lucky enough to make the last hit of the game and get his first 'home run.'

Even with the playing in the dirt and not paying a whole lot of attention, I am proud of my little man's effort tonight. Hope he sticks with it and enjoys ball as much as his momma!

Slip n Slide

I think summer has finally gotten here.

Wow...is it hot!

Before I got the energy to set up the pool...I remembered I had purchased a Slip n Slide on clearance last year. Good thing I found it, because Grady loves it!
