May in Review

Here is our May, according to my iPhone :-)

We bought this large ball and Grady would not get in his high chair for breakfast without his hand being on the ball...


Griffin graduated from pre-school...


We had several baseball games...


We had Derby Bunko at Gammy Becky's, and she even decorated for Griffin!





He actually played this time and did awesome!








We had our student staff awards at work...


My boys were just cute...





We had an impromptu cookout with the Bosticks and Pates- always a good time!
































Welcome Summer, the Pate's are thrilled to see you!

Memorial Day Fun 2016

We started our holiday out with a slow morning around the house. The boys and I got out our wooden puzzles and worked on teaching Grady how to do them. He started to do pretty well! Griffin has always loved puzzles, so it was cute seeing him try to teach little bro.

Mr.Pate met some people for disc golf mid-morning, so we decided to go to the park too. Man it was hot today! There was no one on the playground when we got there, but after five minutes I knew why! Everything was so hot.


After some playing, Griffin did a nature scavenger hunt I had found on Pinterest. We put Grady in the stroller and we walked the trail around the park looking for things like birds, rocks, street signs, squirrels etc. Griffin really got in to it and it was so much fun! And so easy too, I just printed a page that had pictures on it and gave him a pen to circle when he found it. Definitely going to do something like that again.


After the hunt, we went home and let Grady nap. We watched Monsters, Inc. and I had forgotten how cute it it! Once Grady was up, we headed to Beech Bend with Uncle D.


It was hot, but such a good time. We did the water park and the boys really had fun. Griffin did a few slides in the kid area, but it was FREEZING cold. Like ice water. Seriously.

Then we did the wave pool and it felt great and was super fun. Both boys enjoyed the waves, it was cute!


After the water, it was on to some rides. Grady was happy to have Uncle D to take him on a few of the kiddo ones, as well as Bubba.





The very last ride of the day...


We headed to Chuy's for dinner then home for Popsicles! What a great family day! Welcome Summer- so glad you are here!!
