Random Pictures

What have the Gamradt's been up too? Not a whole lot but we thought we should post some pictures on the blog about something, since we haven't done it in a little while.

Here is a picture of Addyson over at Grandma and Grandpa Pair's. In this picture she is enjoying a ride in her dolls buggy, for some reason she thinks it's hers instead of her dolls. I guess she will sit there, look at Grandpa, and start doing this grunt thing to let him know that it is time for him to stop what he is doing and push her around. In her mind Grandpa has nothing better to do except for push her around. I have not seen or heard her do this yet but I guess it's pretty funny especially when she does her grunt thing and I hate to say it but I do agree with her in that Grandpa doesn't have anything better to do except for push her around, SO GET TO IT GRANDPA!! (J/K)


We also took our first trip with the van. We drove it over to see Grandma Betty in Colfax. I have to say, I am so HAPPY with it!! We had so much room and it drove so nicely, although I have to mention two things.

1. It only took 15 minutes into our trip to have a truck spit up a rock, hit our windshield, and put a small rock chip in our window. I was kind of embarrassed because Grandma Pair got to hear me say a few words that I usually wouldn't even think about saying in front of her and kind of loose my cool but after a little while I did simmer down and everything was ok and the good news is that we are scheduled to get the chip filled in on Monday so we should be good to go.

2. It also didn't take long for Kristi to say, "Is it ok if I sit in back and watch a movie." so here I was driving the van with Addy, Grandma, and Kristi all sitting in back watching a movie and myself sitting in the front seat all alone, I honestly felt like a Greyhound Bus driver. I guess I would of done the same thing but I have to say when you are the driver and are all by yourself, IT'S KIND OF BORING!!

Here is a picture of the back of the van with all our stuff. Look at all the room, last time we drove the Passat over to Colfax and it was packed full with stuff, NOT ANYMORE!! I LOVE MY VAN!!


Here is a picture of all 4 generations together. We had such a great time over there. I wish we could do it more often. It's just that I don't get that many weekends off during the year and that makes it hard to find time but hopefully after the twins are born we will get another opportunity to get over there and have a nice visit.


We also took part in celebrating Andrews 2nd Birthday!! This year they celebrated it over at the Little Gym with Andrew and a group of his friends. Addyson didn't participate in every event but she sure did have a GREAT time!! Andrew is in the left corner of this picture and Addy is sitting across the table from him. I also have to give Lori a big shout out because for the cake she decorated these cupcakes that looked like Sesame Street characters and I have to say, "They looked PERFECT!!" Nice job Lori!!

Here is Addy dunking the basketball. Look at her skills, I have to say that's a perfect 10 when it comes to dunking!! She absolutely loved this part, I think she could of done it all day but I have to admit my arms were getting tired so when I heard, "Alright let's put the basketball's away." I was thinking, "THANK YOU GOD!!"

I think in this picture the kids were dancing but I can't really remember but no matter what we were doing Addyson looks like she was having a great time so all is well!!

I love that you love the van. I feel like we should start a club of van loving drivers (I've been drinking and I can't figure out how to say that properly).

I have no problem with the fam watching movies in the back leaving me alone in the front. It keeps the complaining to a minimum (from the husband and the child) and gives me some lone time with my thoughts. Everyone wins.
