just plain fun

Grant was invited to his friend Diana's birthday party last weekend and had a blast...look at the size of those cupcakes!


Tonight was Family FUN Night at our church and Grant had a blast, he played, played and played some more!

always something

Things are never dull around here, yesterday Grant ended his afternoon with a spill on the bottom of our driveway. I wasn't but 3 feet from him, doing some weeding, and heard the awful sound of head meeting concrete. Thankfully I expected much worse, he came away with a bump on his forehead, bloody lip, and some nice red roadrash on his upper lip & nose.

Today is another story, I was doing some mending (Mom aren't you proud of me? I'm not leaving it all for when you arrive next week :) and Grant seemed pretty content, running from room to room when all of a sudden I saw him duck into the bathroom....instantly I knew there was trouble! I ran in behind him to see him shoving the toilet lid down on top of 2 stuffed Care Bears & some of my fabric scraps, AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, he is becoming more and more familiar with time outs everyday.

TGIF everyone!

snails and things


As the weather continues to improve we have begun to tackle our backyard and Grant has been a big helper :) Just this afternoon he made friends with 3 snails, ha!

Last Friday afternoon , over the course of a few hours, we had 8 kiddos running around our house, what fun! Playgroup gone wild, ha!

Grant thinks it's a sister ;)

This morning Grant said "hi baby," and kissed my belly which is a usual occurance, however, I asked him for the first time if he thought it would be a boy baby or a girl baby.....he said, "giiiirl!" So of course, I couldn't let that go and had to ask him again a little bit later in the morning and he again said, "giiiirl." Yes, a third time today I asked thinking the answer would probably change but nope, he's a persistant little guy, he again said, "giiiirl." I guess Frank and I should note our predictions as well...I'm leaning more toward boy and Frank continues to ride the fence and won't commit! With Grant we were convinced we were having a boy but this time we are having a much harder time deciding?!

pretty

On Saturday night Frank and I were fortunate enough to have his parents stay at our house to watch Grant while we attended my dear friend Debbie's wedding. That afternoon I got ready during Grant's nap so when he woke up and I went in to get him, he was standing in his crib, and then he pointed at me and said "EWWWWWW, preeeeetty!" I about cried it was the sweetest most unsolicited thing he's ever said to me...and I also decided he hardly EVER sees me in a dress and with makeup on ;) I love that little boy!

He is Risen!

Grant was an egg hunt champ this year! He was eager to snatch up eggs yet he was "all done, all done, all done" with the Easter bunny when we tried to take pictures with him, ha! He waved his hands frantically in the air to get it away from him.

On Saturday we attended an Easter service at church and an egg hunt in the afternoon, it was a cold and rainy day so we were happy to be inside. Sunday was spent with Frank's family and Grant loved playing with his cousins again!

Grant's friend, Rossi, was sleepy on his first Easter egg hunt!
The cotton candy machine set off the fire alarm so we had to take a quick pic of Grant in front of the fire truck!
