Dallas Zoo

Yesterday our playgroup went to the Dallas Zoo and we had so much fun! the kids got to see all the cool animals and I got to play with my new camera :)

Behold the wonder that is my photography skills (HA!)!

Cayden is one serious kid! He was born just a few weeks before Colin and so they are little buddies at church.

...and his sister Brynn

Colin was so excited looking at the flamingos!

Bethany and Brynn loved the penguins

Stroller buddies!

Seriously, look at that scowl!

Caleb actually liked being in the stroller - Colin was not having it!

Riding an elephant

Colin is still a little young to get the point of the zoo!

Michelle and her little guy

Petting the giraffes...Colin wasn't scared at all!

A good trip to the zoo!

Two Good Guys

Kevin always describes Colin as "a good guy."

It's like he's talking about a 40 year old man.

The other day, they were watching football together and both happened to be wearing their SUU t-shirts.

Too cute not to document!

Colin loves to sit on the couch - it makes him feel older, I assume.

He likes it even more when he's sitting next to his daddy.

My two good guys!

Crunchy with a Chance of Rock

I was determined that we were going skiing no matter what this winter for the following reasons:

First, we were in Utah where there exists such a thing as mountains and ski resorts
Second, there was "snow" on the mountain
Third, grandma was willing to watch the baby
Fourth, I am not preggers...a must for skiing (especially since I fell twice on the first run, but I will attribute that to the ice!)!

So, Kevin and I went skiing despite the pathetic base (an exaggerated 19 in) and knowledge that it would probably be icy, rocky, and generally crunchy. It was all of the above, but when you don't live near a ski resort, you take what you can get!

After a few hours I was exhausted and sat out a run...my legs were jelly!

But that meant I could catch Kevin coming off the lift!

Snow = pooey

Weather = fantastic

Hanging out with my honey = the best!

Cuteness

He's a keeper!

Even when he looks like this:

and especially when he's snugly!

Quasi Christmas

We are so fortunate that both of our parents live relatively near each other. A 6 hour drive is really a breeze and we love to split our time and see everyone when we fly west.

This year, all of the Grady children spent Christmas with their in-laws and then gathered for what Kevin so aptly named (during a prayer, no less!) "Quasi Christmas" on Dec 29th. Artis and Lionel went all out, as always, and we loved sharing Mock Christmas Eve and Quasi Christmas with the Grady clan.

Colin can hold his own bottle but chooses not to when he can sense that the person holding him is a softy

(he pulls this stunt with Kevin too!)

Colin has gone from "Cah" to "Cahn" by Lydia...they had so much fun playing together!

Grandma Grady

The start of Colin's string!

Lydia found a baby crib at the end of her string...both she and Colin loved playing with it all week!

Ahem...yeah, Kevin still demands his own string too despite his ever increasing age!

Working on daddy's string

Now, I am going to warn you that I took a TON of pictures because I was playing with my new toy - a digital SLR camera! Merry Christmas to me! (thank you Kevin, mom, dad, Artis, and Lionel!)
