Grant is 7!

I will never have enough pictures of my babies sleeping!

Yes, getting him to have clothes on is still a struggle at age 7!

He asked for KitKats for his birthday

The requested birthday meal - hot dogs, french fries and jello with marshmellows

So this is a non birthday party year, so things were pretty low key. He picked a DQ blizzard cake for his birthday and of course hot dogs for dinner. Yes, still hot dogs. This year he tried to mandate that only hot dogs be consumed for dinner. Seeing as how there are a few ladies in the family that aren't major hot dog fans, an exception was made - because Mom said so and she doesn't love hot dogs!

We went and played lazer tag as a family and he got a few new sports things. Pops took him golfing that morning and I am pretty sure their day started with circus peanuts!

Father's Day

Father's Day is always special because it is around Grant's birthday and it always makes me think of the night that we went to the hospital to have him - Father's Day, but he was born the next day! There was a little pre-Father's Day fishing trip to Canada.

I guess shaving wasn't allowed on the fishing trip?

Anyway, I think Brandon had a perfect day! (what Sunday isn't perfect when you get a nap?!)

Our Syd

We are so lucky to have my parents close by to help with the kids, but there were times when we needed a babysitter and Sydney was always our choice. The kids loved her! Sadly, Syd is growing up too and she is off to college now - some college that has an I in it, but the colors aren't orange and blue - but we still love her anyway! Thanks Syd for always saying yes!
