5.26.08 -- Happy Memorial Day

We are just hanging out today with Nana & Pawpaw. WE are going to have the typical fares but I could not wait until 1pm for food so I broke into my piminto cheese and made a sandwitch. Hopefully I wont be as tempted when the BBQ arrives. I am tired of my little mii telling me that I am fat! :-)

We all went for our first family bike ride with everyone on two wheels and it was so exciting. We are so proud of our little stinker!

5.25.08 -- Annual Crawfish Boil

Brian & Rachel had their Annual Crawfish boil today at their new house. We all had a blast Grant was totally pooped last night. It was great to see our friends...

5.24.08 -- Off With the Training Wheels

Today we were out woring out in the yard and Grant was playing. He brought me his bike and requested that I take the training wheels off. I started by taking one off. I was nervous and he came back and told me to take the other one off. He kept his feet down for a minute to ge tthe feel of it, then he started pedaling and took off without any help. After all of that excitement Grant played in the sprinkler when we set it up to water the plants.

5.23.08 -- New Outlet Mall

Today we made the trip out 290 to the new outlet mall. It was really fun they are still small nothing like San Marcus but they are still expanding and I am really excited about all the shops and the quality that they seem to be attracting. Yes Katy Mills has a Gymboree store but it is not even close to the size/quality of this one. They also have a great kids area here is a photo of Grant from one of the little rides they have...

5.10.08 -- Speed Racer & Driving Range

After we went to vote this morning we took Grant to see Speed Racer. He has wanted to go see the movie becuase he saw the previews on tv and Laura and Jerry gave him the helmet for his birthday. After the movie we went a couple of places and then stopped by the driving range to hit a few balls. The last time Grant got a blister so David is helping him put on a glove in the photo. We had to get a baseball XS glove because we can't find a golf glove small enough!

5.9.08 -- Suprising Nana, G Grandma Schaller & Grandma McKay

Today Grant and I suprised all his Grandmas and Great Grandma! We went by and dropped off cards and flowers for each of them. Grant loved Grandma McKay's School he always enjoys seeing her classroom. When we went to see Nana at work she had a little break so she highlighted some of Grant's spikes. It looks SOOO CUTE!

5.4.08 -- Emma's AJDC Performance

Today we went to Emma's AJDC performance and I snapped this photo of Grant and Hannah in the crowd waiting for Emma to perform. She was SOOOO Adorable!

5.3.08 -- Grant's 5th Birthday

Today we had Grant's 5th birthday party!!! We had a baseball theme this year and it was really fun. Here is a photo from when we were all singing Happy Birthday to Grant.

4.28.08 -- Grant's 5th Birthday (the official day)

Today is Grant's official Birthday and we made the mistake of telling him on a regular everyday work day! It is kinda funny because this is the way the days fell on the year that he was born! Well we were worried becuase he was expecting a birthday party and we had to go to work! I had mentioned to mom that I was worried that he was going to be disapointed and Nana showed up with cake and toys and had a party for him. Grant was SOOOOO happy!

4.19.08 -- TX Family Picnic & BBQ Cookoff

Well we went to H&H Ranch for the 2008 Family Picnic and BBQ Cookoff. Again this year I was on the cookoff team and we took second place overall and I entered a baking entry and won first place in asthetics. I was SOOOO excited and I won a 100$ giftcard and a book on cupcakes! It was SO AWESOME!!! In addition I was selected by the winning team to join them in NY at the Huntly Plant for the 2008 Battle of the Regions as a member of their cookoff team!!! (Please don't mention this as we have not told Grant yet becuase he will not be joining us on this trip.) I have attached a photo of Grant and I that Albert from work snapped! (Thanks Big Al!)

4.7.08 -- Zeke's Seventh Birthday

Today was Zeke's 7th Birthday. Zeke and Grant were rolling in the floor playing and it was too funny.
