Graydens 3rd birthday

We LOVE this little guy! He never seizes to amaze us! He is such a sweet little boy and we hope he never loses his tender side. I love that he always says "thank you mommy" whenever we do something for him. He loves playing with trucks and "brooom broooms"(four wheelers). He loves to take things apart and "fix" things. He loves playing with Tayli outside in the jeep and riding his bike. On sunday Grayden and I went to church together while the others stayed home sick. He was coloring and without looking I handed him a pink crayon"MOM- I CANT USE THAT CRAYON, IT IS ONLY FOR GIRLS!" He always reminds me that he is a boy and can only play boy things. Another funny thing that happened recently- he was sitting on the potty and asked me to come help him. He said"mom I almost fell in the toilet" "oh no, are you ok?" "yes but if I fell in the toilet then daddy wouldnt have a boy anymore and he would be so sad."
Grayden we love you and are so greatful you are our little boy! You are so smart and we love to watch you learn and grow! Happy Birthday buddy!

The night before his birthday he decorated his legs with stickers and said "heres my present!"
He woke up and was so cute! We sang happy birthday to him while we were still in bed and he started hugging us and saying "I love you mom! I love you Dad! Thanks Tay! Oh Measle!"
He wanted spider man waffles so we tried to dye them blue
We told G that he could choose all the activities for the day. He wanted all of us to go on a bike ride....it was so much fun. He was a little trooper in the rain and peddaled so hard up the little hills. We stopped at a park and soaked our pants on the slide.


We came back and enjoyed hot chocolate!


playing with his new train with daddy

He asked for Hot dogs and watermellon- yummy!



He went to the store with pig to pick up his cake and all day long he just wanted to sit on the counter and stare at it
