Holiday Gingerbread House

Just a quick pic of two dudes working on a gingerbread house at the Children's Museum of Phoenix.

Summer Camp Talent Show

It's been a while since posting some fun pictures of Grant being Grant. Here we see Grant at the summer camp talent show. Several kids danced, some sang off-key. Grant's talent was push-ups while starring down the crowd with Flo Rida's "My House" in the background. He did an impressive 13 push-ups before ending with a yoga move. 

For his next act, Grant danced the Whip and Nae Nae with precision since the family practiced it together several times the night before. 

Grant's 6th Birthday!

Today, Grant celebrated the birthday he had been talking about for more than a year. For some reason, the age 6 is more than just another year. It is more important than 7, 8 and 9 to Grant. He talks about the things he will finally be able to do when he is 6. Well, Bud, you made it so let's see all those cool things.

Rebecca put in some extra effort on this one, finding all of the Pokemon (a current Grant favorite) themed activities and decorations. The Pokeball gift was a sure hit and I think everyone walked away with a better understanding of what a Charmander is. A huge thank you to Rebecca for all of the planning for a 36 person event at the Children's Museum of Phoenix (another Grant favorite).

The kids started with Pokemon Bingo, followed by decorating a take-home Pokeball Rice Crispy treat shaped like a Pokeball. Then the cake. A balloon stomp was next with each balloon hiding a Pokemon temporary tattoo. With all of those kids popping balloons and screaming, the room must have sounded like a Poke-Robbery. It was great fun though and ended with each kid walking away with these really cool Pokeballs holding all of the traditional gift bag items. That was a nice touch and good find!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Hot Air Balloon Ride

Grant and Mama went on a hot air balloon ride yesterday morning and it was beautiful! We had a gorgeous view, fantastic weather, and an expert pilot.

Lost His First Tooth

Grant lost his first tooth yesterday! It was very exciting and he was a big guy about it. He just told me very calmly, while we were watching T.V. after dinner, that it came out. We washed it off, looked at it through his microscope, talked about why teeth have roots, and put it in the fairy door's little magic pot.

What's a fairy door you ask? When you put the fairy door against the wall, it tells the fairy that there's a tooth. She comes through the door, takes the tooth out of the pot, and leaves some money. Grant got a rolled up dollar.

Here he is with the door and the new gap in his lower teeth. (The silly sticker is from today's visit to the grocery store.)
