4.30.06 - Sprinkler Fun

This afternoon we broke out Grant's birthday present from Emma & Hannah. They gave him a sprinkler ball that rolls around. It was so much fun! A picture is worth a thousand words...

4.29.06 - THE BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Today was the big day! Grant was excited all day, he kept asking "are my friends here yet?" It was too cute. The Party was going to be an outdoors golf tournament with around 15 kids that actually showed up for the party. Well the day started out with tornado warnings and pouring rain. We ended up having an indoor tournament. Lucky I found out during the week that it was looking like the weather would be bad and I spent Friday trying to get everything needed to move the event indoors. Thank goodness it went wonderfully!

4.28.06 - Birthday Dinner

We went to Pappa's Bros Brisket House for Grant's Birthday Dinner (we let him select) he loves to eat at the Bisquit House. I guess we are really lucky that we did not end up eating at McDonalds letting a three year old pick (he has really good taste). He loves the beef ribs!

4.26.06 - Church

Went to Church tonight Laura brought Grant. They had a party for him today at Laura's house. She gave him the cutest truck with a trailer and four wheeler, some little match box cars and four adorable shirts! She said that they had fun parting all day!

4.25.06 - Grant's Truck

David picked Grant up from Laura's and dropped him off at Grandma McKay's house. I had a denist appointment and afterwards I ran home and we assembled Grant's truck for the Party this weekend! He is going to be so excited. Did not do anything terribly exciting tonight, just spent the evening with Grandma. (I included a photo of Grant getting his truck at his party.)

4.24.06 - Monday Night Astro's Game

Well another fun night in the week of Grant! On Sunday night David told him that when we pick him up from Laura's tomorrow that we have a suprise for him (and that suprise is tickets to an Astro's game). We will all go downtown tomorrow for the 7PM game.

He was so suprised when we told him that we were going to the baseball game. He has always loved baseball so he was pretty excited.

On Friday night hopefully we will be able to continue our tradition of going to BJ's in Clear Lake for dinner and a pizzookie (pizza cookie) it is a huge cookie baked in a small deep dish pizza pan and covered with icecream! It is to die for.

4.23.06 - Moody Gardens in Galveston, TX

We went to Moody Gardens in Galveston, TX today. We saw on the news that Beach Party Weekend was not turning out so we loaded up the car and headed down to the Aquarium. It was alot of fun. Grant had a blast watching the seals, turtles, rays, penguins, and sharks.

4.22.06 - Lazy Saturday

Saturday mornings are fun for Grant. He is always surprised that no one gets up and goes to work and we don't have anywhere to go. This morning we slept in and then when we did get up we made pancakes and watched cartoons. It was a nice relaxing morning. We don't have any committments today and that is such a nice feeling. We are just working on trying to get ready for Grant's birthday party next weekend.

4.21.06 - At Home with Grant

Today we spent a lazy day around the house. When we woke up it was storming, but from the news reports last night we expected the poor weather. We have just been cleaning house and watching Harry P P Hotter and Chicken Little while David is working. I am going to miss having Friday's off when we start working 8's again, but it will be nice to get off early enough to still do some things.

Grant will be starting swimming lessons again before we know it and it allows for us to make it there for the lessons with Aunt Raynel. As you can see from this photo taken last summer, he really enjoys swimming lessons.

We met David at Chick-fil-a in Kemah for lunch and ran into Wende Kelly with Maddie, Carter & Beau. I can't believe how big the twins are getting! I stayed and the kids played in the playland while we talked. Afterwards we went to Walmart together and I must say I don't know how she does it!

4.20.06 - Grant's Truck

Today I went to get Grant at Laura's while David went to get the truck that we are getting him for his birthday. He is going to be so suprised, it is all that he has been able to talk about since Mason's birthday party in January, and everytime we go to the store he asks to go look at the trucks. We are almost ready for the party next weekend.

4.16.06 - Easter Sunday

We started the day with our typical trip to Church. David's mom came to our church because the Choir was singing a special and David is in the Choir. We had planned on my mom & dad coming over for dinner afterwards, but mom was really worn out after church so they went home. We ended up taking our Sunday afternoon nap and then we went out to David's Aunt & Uncle's house for a little while. They have a beautiful house down by the water. Grant had a grand time jumping on their tramboline with Lauren. They were being so silly. Grant was really worn out by the time we made it home.

4.14.06 - Houston Zoo Trip (Good Friday)

We went to the Houston Zoo with Grandma McKay and Lauren. Grant had a wonderful time showing Lauren all the sights. They really enjoyed looking at the Mingos (Flamingos) and Giraffes (the new baby was not out), Elephants, and Zebra's. It was really packed but it wasn't too bad and everyone was really polite. The highlight of the day (for the kids) was the lunch-time trip to McDonald's! They really enjoyed spending the day together.
