McKay David Grondel


Today is Mckay’s 2nd birthday!


Here are a few of the things McKay enjoys doing.

He loves to play outside, whether it be mowing the lawn, gardening, rearranging rocks, or riding his tractor, it is always a HUGE fight to get him to come inside.

He is a BIG helper and always has to be in the action.

He has one speed and one speed only and that is run. He literally runs everywhere he goes.

He is a water baby. If he could spend his day outside in the water he would be completely satisfied.

He loves animals.

When everyone else is laughing he always joins in with a good hardy fake laugh.

He loves “saurs”(dinosaurs), trucks and DRAGONS.

His vocabulary has really developed and I am often times impressed by the things he picks up on.

His most favorite thing to do is give raspberries kisses to anyone who will let him get close.

The Simple Life

McKay got to take a trip to see Grandma and Grandpa Merrill with Mama and Papa Grondel. Penny took lots of pictures but unfortunately left her camera cord in AZ. So we will all have to wait to see those.


McKay was only home a short while when we left to go camping with my family. The time we spent on the mountain just reminded me how important the small things are. The mountain air, the animals, the camp fire and good company just make the time so sweet.

McKay is THE cutest kid! We were going for a ride and my dad pointed out a deer. This is how our conversation went.

Me: “I see it”

McKay “I see it”

Me “O’ no you don’t” (It was too far away)

McKay “ I doooo”

Short Pause then McKay says “A buck!”

It was hilarious. He is learning to speak so well. He picks up on a lot and everyday he learns new words.

Fiahing with Grandpa
CAUGHT ONE!

He loved the fish.
McKay thought the fish were so cool.  He kept wanting to touch them and hold them.  When my dad started to cut into the fish to clean it McKay started to get upet.  He kpet saying "Ouchy Fishy"

Attempting to clean a little dirt off before bed time, I got the tub out just to have warm water to clean his body off with a wash rag.  I never intended for him to climb in.  But he insisted he take a bath so in he climbed.
We even played a mean game of mountain kick ball.
McKay loved being outdoors, he ran around literally all day long. He played in the dirt, played with the dog, played with the older kids. And then of course he slept like a rock at night. He loved the fire and having open range! We will definitely have to keep up this summer tradition.

Swimming in Park City
I love this picture.  McKay just woke up from a nap and his hair was CRAZY.  Then it only took two seconds to get his face and hands covered in dirt.
