We took a trip to Spooner Farms in Sumner for a family night out and to pick up a pumpkin.  We enjoyed a fun night playing with all the chickens, turkeys, goats, roosters, and rabbits!  Grady climbed up on a good ‘ol International tractor and raced rubber ducks.  In the end we had dinner in town and headed home, from a great night out together.  Tonight Cody carved the pumpkin and it turned out great!  What do you think????

Grady had a great 1st birthday party.  We had just family over for the party, and that made for a full house!  He had fun eating his yummy birthday cake that was made especially for him.  Check out the pics from his party in the photo gallery.

Here is a quick picture of Cody at the beach in Seattle. He is on Spring Break and staying a few days at my folks. they went off to enjoy the sun today!

So last Friday I packed up the boys and my dad and we took a day trip to the Fort Lewis Military Museum.  We had a great day and had lunch together.  I am sure mom liked having the day off and the boys had a fun day out. My favorite thiing was the Saddam Hussien statue head that was brought back as a war throphy!

Sorry a bit slow but I am catching up here!  So on the 1st of March Cody decided to take the plunge so to speak and got water baptized.  Pastor Jason was there to baptize him during our church’s (New Life in Renton) noon service.  I was so proud of my son and we had the whole family there to watch.  Watching the spiritual growth in my oldest is a real reward, for which i am very thankful!

So the two boys just like to hang out.  Dad caught them in the act and snapped this picture:

Cody wrestles at the 122# weight class in the JV division, there were 8 kids at that weight class competing in the Tournament.  He took 2nd place and with most varsity wrestlers moving on to high school next year it looks like he has a good shot at a title next year at the varsity level.  Grandpa Brad and I went to the match which was quite the experience.  Because of limited mat space, we waited 2 hours for Cody’s first match and then Cody pinned the kid in the first round.  Anyways we got out of there after about 4 hours.

So Grady just didn’t want to settle down last night for bed.  Guess who got him to relax?

We had a great time on New Years Eve.  My parents were nice enough to have us down to the Westin in Seattle.   We had a great dinner over in Pacific Place and and then back to the hotel for some fireworks.  Thanks Brad and Carolyn!
