See Spot Run

The older Grady gets, the funner holidays seem to be.  This year we have enjoyed unseasonably warm weather.  We are not complaining at all.  Most of the time it almost feels as though we are in Hawaii...OK, maybe not.  Anyway, the leaves have been spectacular this year.  But, as the year gets late, the leaves have fallen in droves.  Grady has decided he his a big boy helper and wants to do everything we are doing.  Adam loves this concept of slavery and immediately put Grady to work in the yard.

 However, within seconds a revolt took place and Grady decided he no longer is a slave and wanted to play in the leaves.  (NOTE:  Adam was not pleased with the jersey selection, but could not dispute that he look pretty handsome in his Wyo jersey.  Note II:  Do not fret, he also has a BYU jersey.)

 Grady's revolution then turned into burying himself in the leaves.  If you look closely you can see the leaves stuck to his chin.  Grady had just eaten and his face was sticky.

 Needless to say, Grady has given up a life of slavery and has decided having fun is way better.

 Grady dressed as the infamous dog for Halloween.  All of Adam's Brother's kids have worn the dog costume and the honor was bestowed upon us to carry on that tradition.  Grady was a good doggie and sure fit the part.  He was able to sit... 

 He was able to roll over...

 He was able to run and play in the leaves...

 And finally, he was able to beg many people for treats and balls.

The nose and whisker makeup did not come easy for the Grady dog.  He refused to have it put on, so us being parents of the year pinned him down and forced the makeup on him.  So, Adam looks happy, but Grady looks mad...because he was.

 And what dog is not complete without his Scoobie-snacks!!  While trying to get a pic of him he decided to just plop right down on a pumpkin and eat his snacks.

The only thing this doggie was concerned about; however, was making sure he, at all times, had a ball in his possession.  Any ball would do, including pumpkins, rubber balls, basketballs, footballs, mini-football helmets, and of course when dad couldn't find a ball, a squished up napkin that looked like a ball.

 While we were wrestling Grady and trying to get a pic, some random neighbor showed up and took a pic of our family.  It was kind of unexpected, but we said sure, why not get a family pic on a holiday...very novel idea.  We had a great Halloween and loved visiting our friends and loved getting little trick or treaters.  Grady thought that was the funnest part of the day.  Anyway, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
