Happy 62nd Birthday Grandpa!

This was a "grandkids only" birthday party. Sorry.

Grandpa doesn't like getting presents and he knew he

would have nothing to worry about with his guests.

We grabbed hotdogs (forgot the buns), veggies, chips, the cake and ran.

Oh yeah, and some KFC for the hot dog haters. We headed north to the

adventure and learning park. We took a hike and realized the park

has all but dried up. the waterfall is gone, everything looks dead, including

the fish!

We enjoyed our lunch and the kids sang to grandpa 3 times. Talan wouldn't take

his bottle until Brett gave him a pickle, which he is devouring in the picture above.

When we got home grandma was tired - but not the kids! No way! I put the baby down and told Brenden it was naptime.

He ran (I thought to the bed). No, he ran and hid. I found him a few minutes later under the bed where the girls were playing house.

He was in the middle, where I couldn't reach him. So, I left him there, checking on him every few minutes. He just stayed there until

he fell fast asleep. Boy, did he pull a good one on grandma!

Answer to "What is Ayvri Pointing At"

The Marching Band!

As soon as we heard the beat of the drums, Moses and Brenden ran in the house and wouldn't come out.  When the band got right in front of the house, Brenden came tearing out.  I don't know what he thought it was before.  They then followed them to the park.

My camera is on a motorcycle a few hundred miles away.  I hope Doug breaks it.  Then I can get a new one!  I missed getting a great video of Talan jumping on the trampoline.

You know how he moves.  Imagine that on a trampoline.  It was pretty funny, and he loved it.  He refused his bottle and his baby food today, but loved beans, beef and blueberries.

The bigger kids are getting pretty dang easy to tend.  They make a mess, but sure have fun doing it.  It's too late to be creative, so check in next week.  Luv ya all!
