A Playdate with Noah!

Today my friend Ashley brought her son, Noah, over for a playdate! She's 36 weeks pregnant (come on Eden... we can't wait to meet you sweet girl!) and has been taking Noah with her to the Dr's office ... after she told me that I told her I would gladly watch Noah for her during her appts so she could go in peace! But really, it helps me too... it keeps Grant entertained so its a win win situation!
The boys laughed and played hard! I don't know what they were talking about in the Handy Manny Tent but they were giggling like little girls!

Pretty sure Grant is trying to boss him right here, sorry Noah!

After all that "camping" in the tent they needed a snack! Sometimes there is nothing like some good ol' fruit chews!
You can barely see it in this picture but thet were holding honds, so cute!
It was getting close to lunch so I headed to the kitchen to make the dough for my pizza... I stopped and realized... "Its mighty quiet in here... what are they doing". I sd "Boys... where are you".. I heard some serious giggles come from my bathroom... walked in to find this:
YEP.. they were in the shower! Thank goodness they didnt figure out how to turn the water on! But they thought it was hilarious! I opened the door and Noah grinned really big and sd "BOOO"... I couldn't help but die laughing!
I let them close the door one or two more times and grabbed another cute picture and that was it for the shower, thankfully they went for some books instead!
After some reading it was time for Pizza and they gobbled it up!
Grant crashed at about 12:45... so THANK YOU to Noah for wearing out Grant! And thanks to Ashley for letting him come over and play! They were so good to each other and its so precious to see how they've grown from babies to "little boys"!!! Its a little sad too!

PARTY TIME!

Happy Birthday to sweet Allie! On Saturday we headed to Jump Zone, in Franklin, for Allie's 2nd Birthday Party!
Grant was SO excited! The entire way down he was saying "Pah-ty.... Allie.... CAKE..." then he would say "BE NICE.... Friends". (We've had a little hitting problem lately so we are constantly telling him to be nice to his friends!).

He had a blast running and jumping, I had a good time too but suddenly realized my age! Whew, my body just doesnt bend and twist like it used to! Gracious!


Next was picture time! Grant would NOT line up with the other children in front of the fire truck.. instead he did this:
Yep.. thats MY BOY .. look how nice all the other children are being.. and then there's Grant.. sprawled out in the floor! Franklin and I couldn't help but laugh.. what were we supposed to do?
Finally I bribed him by telling him "Grant.. if you will sit down and take the picture.. you can have cake". He smiled and sd "CHEESE"
Of course that only lasted for a few good shots, then he decided it was time to do the "crab walk"!
My little wild man!After jumping for a while we headed back to the party room for some ice cream!
All the kids were hot and sweaty.. so the ice cream was a perfect treat before opening presents!
Sweet Maren!
Me and Elizabeth (Allie's Mama)!
Becky and Maren!Present Time!

While Allie opened her gifts.. Grant took the table decor.. . NICE!
After presents, it was time for cake! That got Grant's attention!

It was a great party and we had a blast! On the way home Grant kept telling us about Allie's "Hello Kitty" cake! He sd "Cake.. Purple... Kitty, MMMM GOOD"! Pretty sure we heard that 100 times that night!!! My little Party Animal!

Gigi & Pops!

The past 5 days Franklin's Granparents came to visit from Ohio and man did we have fun! Grant was tickled to death to see Gigi & Pops and he got tons of attention and love!
He loved watching "Toy Story" with Pops and Gigi!

A picture of Me and F.. this happens very rare these days!


I busted him with my slippers on.. too cute not to post!


I LOVE this picture.. but wished Grant would've had on another tshirt! Oh well!
3 Generations!
Gpa cracks him up!

On the 4th we had a big cookout with lots of family! Grant got a big treat "Root Beer"! He absolutely LOVED IT!
He would take a sip and say "OOT BEAH... Licious"... I think this picture looks so weird, it looks like he's drinking beer! OH WELL!
"NahMa" and Grant!
Grant's new thing when he sees the camera is to say "CHEESE" and give a big ol' grin!
Taking a rest with Gigi!
At night after dinner I got out and water the flowers in the front yard, Grant LOVES to run through the hose!
Arent these little footprints precious?!


I LOVE this picture!! So cute!
Getting a drink!
All in all, we had a fantastic time! We sure did enjoy our visit Pops and Gigi but we do miss them! Thanks for a great 4th! :)
