I have added some photos (see Various Photos) that Lexi took of the boys at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. She is AWESOME! I also added a few of their football photos, first day of school, my nephew's First Birthday party, etc.
Here is your Grant funny for the day:
Me: "Grant, tell me something good that happened at school today and something bad that happened today" (thanks for this idea Nichole!)
Grant's response: "Nothing bad happened today...............and that's a good thing."
Hogan turned 10 1/2. We've been so sick I was a day late making his cake because I hadn't been to the store. He's been drawing a lot of Sonic so Grant suggested that I make that. I thought it was a great idea so that is what he got. Not one of my better cakes, making a cake like that when still under the weather is not as much fun. I think Hogan was pleased with it though.

It's been a while. We had a great Spring Break in Tennessee this year, check out the photos in the Spring 2009 tab above. We're gearing up for Grant's birthday & the opening day of baseball this weekend. Can't wait!
We went Trick-or-Treating with friends in another neighborhood this year. The kids had a blast running from house to house! Hogan was Commander Cody from Star Wars, and Grant was Indiana Jones. To see a bigger picture of the ones above just click on the film strip and you will see an enlarged photo.
We also went to have the boys photos taken that morning. As soon as I get them back (1-2 weeks) I'll be sure to post some. I can't wait to see them as I think she was getting some really good ones. Especially Grant's face when I told him to smile like he saw a pretty girl, it was priceless! We meet out at Stony Creek Farms and she took tons of photos in all different spots. I'll probably have trouble picking which ones I want!
Every year I bake the boys a "silly cake" for their half birthday's. Yet another tradition that I got myself into and can't get out of (like the Christmas cards). I've found it's easiest to surprise the boys when it comes to the cakes. They started picking ones that were way too hard for me so now I pick something I think they'll like and that I think I can handle. When Hogan and Grant saw me working on this cake in the early stages they were convinced it was going to be Shrek. When I was finally done I called Grant in to see his "Shrek" cake. He was pleasently surprised to see it was Mario instead!
Check out the cake photo under the Silly Cakes section (see link at top).
Wow, can you believe October is almost over? We're all geared up and ready for Halloween. Hogan is going to be a Clone Trooper and Grant is going to be Indiana Jones. I can't wait to post photos. It took some time but I even found a real leather jacket at a second hand store for Grant. He looks so cute in it.
We went to the pumpkin patch this month and had our annual leaf jumping fun so check out the photos!
Happy Fall ya'll!
Awesome cake Jenn! My nephews would love it...the are so in to smash bros. on the wii! :)
Happy 1/2 bday Grant!
