Happy Father's Day to my Dad, Father-in-Law, and Hubby!!!


It certainly was a Happy Father's Day here at the Grant house.  We had a busy day.  It started with Beau serving Daddy breakfast in bed. "Breakfast" consisted of the "treats" that Beau (and I) bought at the store the night before.....6 powdered donuts, 2 ding dongs, 2 zingers, yogurt covered pretzels, and a trail mix.  It was served on paper plate caddies.  It was THE sweetest thing. Beau got it all by himself, and promptly plopped the two plates of goodies on his Dad's belly before Dad really had a chance to sit up in bed, much less wake up. 

Then we headed to the ballpark for a 3rd/4th place game from the tournament we had been playing in this weekend.  We won soundedly (12-2) and only got to the 3rd inning due to the run rule. Bit disappointed we didn't see more action, but there wasn't too many complaints after the hot day we spent at the ballpark the day before.

Then we headed home.  We told Beau if he would have less than 2 strikeouts for the tournament, and hit three balls up in the air to the outfield, then he would get a WWE Wrestling belt and two guys (Brian had bought the trio of items a while ago, we were just looking for the opportunity to give it to him). He came through on both accounts (just short of the 3 balls in the air, but at the Sunday game he only got to bat once, so we gave it to him). So we presented him with his "reward" and the smile was contagious!

Shortly afterwards, Brian and Beau headed to the annual Father's Day Car Show at the Sedgwick County Zoo.This makes it their 4th year for going together. Each year, I'm never certain who enjoys it more!

Finally tonight we settled in with steaks, potatoes, cupcakes and ice cream! Yum.

We got to see Brian's Dad on Saturday. And the only thing that would have made my weekend better was seeing my Dad. But all in all, we had a really great, albeit, hot weekend together!

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Daddy's out there!

Couple random things

The summer has started off well.  It's certainly keeping everyone busy and the time is going by fast.

Beau is enjoying World Wide Entertainment (WWE) Wrestling.
"Mom, do you know I get to watch wrestling every night of the week except Wednesday?"
"Wow" is all I exclaimed with as much excitement as I could muster.
He has a lot "guys" he likes to play with in his collapsable floor ring. He makes up matches on a daily/nightly basis. Brenley also likes to play with his "guys" but she tends to think they are crying all the time, so she likes to pat them on the back to tell them it will all be okay.

I found these two "guys" on my counter top the other day. Certainly made me laugh. His imagination is awesome as he replays his own matches with this "guys."



Of course Brenley is also keeping busy by bumping her head, lip, leg, arm, etc. on just about everything and anything.  A few weeks ago she had a really good week where she feel into a fence and gauged her eye, followed the next day by falling face first at school giving her a fat bloody lip. She is one tough princess!

So besides a trip to Oklahoma, a few baseball games, some bug bites, a sunburn, and a birthday party here and there, that's about all we have to report so far!  Oh yeah, and big and funny kiddo's that certainly keep us on our toes!

Oh no, how can I forget?! We enjoyed Friday evening by getting to babysit Luke and Will.  They were both really good little boys, and Brenley certainly enjoyed the company. We always thought she was kind of bossy, but it's pretty much confirmed.........she has her Mom's stubborn, bossy gene!  Oh Brian, you are in for a world of trouble with two of us!!!  Here are her and Luke after she made him "get in the box!"

Hmmmm, wonder why he looks so scared and she looks victorious?! ;)
