Monkeying Around!

Hope you all had a great President's Day Weekend!  Ours was cold and a little disappointing.  Todd Jr, Grady, Grant and I had planned to go to Montgomery to see Beeka Beeka and family,  but unfortunatly the threat of SNOW in Montgomery kept us home...
we were all so bummed but we took a raincheck and will make plans to go again another time. 
So, we decided to go to the mall to do the bungee jump... um, doesn't open til 3...
it was only 10am and Mommy was NOT going to hang around the oh-so-exciting Panama City Mall any longer than she had to...
MAJOR disappoinment again all the way around and lots of pouty faces...
So after lunch and a nap, we headed out to the mall again....

Here is Todd Jr., waiting to get harnessed... he loves to do this and enjoys flipping forward and backward and making people sick as they watch him go round and round......

Here is Grady, all hooked up and ready to go, this was his first time and he was sooooo excited.... he has to do what ever his big brother does.  He even did a couple of FLIPS!

Yes, even Grant had a turn.  He did not go very high or do any flips this time, but give him a couple of months and he will be out doing his "partners in crime..."

Hope you all also had a great Mardi Gras Day!  I still always think it is strange, other places trying to do the "Mardi Gras Thing".... they even try here... I have to admit, it is just not the same as the real thing... where are the MOONPIES and COCONUTS!!!!!  Anyway, our Mardi Gras excitement was the Pancake Dinner at Church, I realized after we left that I did not get any photos of Todd Jr being the official Pancake topping runner... he was very helpful...

Today was a HUGE day!
Grady Joe had his first visit to the dentist!
A few weeks ago he told me that because he was big that he needed to go to the dentist like Todd.
So, I called and made an appointment. 
Needless to say, Todd Sr and I were very skeptical... I mean Grady Joe is our "hesitant" one and can be quite an over reactor.... but, check out the smile....

He was PERFECT.  He was polite, listened and was very helpful!

This is Melissa, she was amazing and so great with Grady...
she told him all that she was doing and let him help with the suction.

Here he is ready to open wide...
Cool Shades, Dude....

Nice pearly whites!

We had to wait a few minutes for Dr. Gerlecz, so Grady got to dig in the treasure drawer because he was soooooooooooo good...
and what else would a little boy pick....
noise/potty putty...
you know that stuff that makes extremely inappropriate sounds... it was so funny, we were all having a good laugh....  but the very best part is that Dr. Gerlecz gave him a glowing report. 
He said everything looked wonderful. 
What a relief, not that I had any specific concerns, but you always worry.

We all left with big smiles on our faces and as we were walking down the front steps...
Grady said, "That was fun, Mommy!" 

Yes it was Grady, yes it was!

On a side note, for any of you that don't really know Grady, he loves music and in the van Dat Dat has an old Hip Hop/Rap CD with various artists like Rob Bass, Vanilla Ice and Salt n' Pepa... well specifically in reference to the last one... Grady asked for his favorite song, well every song is his favorite, but he started singing "Shhh, smush it...."  Ladies and Gentlemen.... "Push It" by Salt n' Pepa as interpreted by Grady Joe... I laughed so hard...

If only we could have had one child with personality...
(I can hear Foe Foe laughing all the way from New Orleans!!!)
