Happy Birthday Grandma!

As you saw in my last post, my Grandma turned 79 last Thursday. Now, being 79, she's kinda hard to 'pull one over' on. She sees it all, and she'll call you on it! ;) Since we wanted to celebrate with her, and thought it'd be fun to surprise her, we planned a small dinner for her. My uncle told her he was taking her to dinner at 5:30. To her surprise, 4 cars, carrying 4 adults and 5 kids pulled in her driveway at 5:15. We brought lasagna, salad, bread, and the kids and I baked her a cake...

And what is a party without some gifts?! I had framed a photo of my kids and I, and decided to let them pick out their own gifts for her as well. Random they were, but they were sweet, innocent, and definately made the birthday girl smile! Andrew chose a toy firetruck for her. In all of his 3 years of wisdom, he knew she would love to have a toy firetruck! He was right, she loved it. It came right from his little heart, and it made her day! Jordyn chose a necklace and 2 plates. She picked out 1 plate with flowers on it for her, and decided since Uncle Mark lives there also, she should get a striped plate as well, for him to use. Always thinkin, that girl! It was worth it just to see how proud they were to give their gifts to their great grandma. What a moment!

Here's Grandma, Jordyn and Drew showing Grandmas new necklace and plates!


Now Jordyn and cousin Dane showing Jordyns gifts again, as well as the firetruck Drew picked out.


Grandma, I hope we made this birthday a special one! We love you!!

Today, we celebrate the birthday of someone incredibly important in my life.

My Grandma.

I won't spill the beans and tell you how old she is today.

You may be able to guess by looking at these pictures.

(If you're like, super smart and stuff...)

She's a rock to me.

Superwoman.

She raised 5 kids, stay at home momma.

She can pull things out of the oven with no oven mitts.

(No Lie)

She has a huge heart.

She loves my kids and they love her to pieces.

She loves me and I love her to pieces.

She's pretty much amazing.

Today is her day!

Here's a story:

My Grandma is:

The 7th daughter

OF a 7th daughter

Today is her birthday.

That means she's the 7th daughter

OF a 7th daughter

born on the 7th day

of the 7th month.

(and she sneezes 7 sneezes at a time.)

again, no lie!

Happy Birthday Grandma.

We LOVE you!!

Holiday Weekend!

This year, the 4th of July was my holiday, so I got an extra weekend with the kiddos! Love that!! We had a BLAST!! To start out, the kids came home to new bunk beds in their room. They were ecstatic! Then we packed up and headed to Columbus with Aunt Katie to visit Grandma Suzi and go to Cosi. The kids LOVED Cosi...it was actually probably a bigger hit with them than the zoo was! We came back Saturday evening, and spent the rest of the weekend hanging out. Monday we played outside ALL DAY! What a PERFECT weekend that ended far too quickly, as always!!

Bunk Beds! They picked out their own bedding...Jordyn chose peace signs, and Drew chose Buckeyes! Seems like such 'grown up' choices...no more princesses and Spiderman for us I guess!

Drew at Cosi. They LOVED the KidSpace.... Drew wore a hardhat pretty much the entire time!

Hope you all enjoyed your Holiday Weekend, and remembered why we get to celebrate Independence Day!!

FlashBack

I was looking through some old pictures and just had to share this one! My baby girl at about 5 days old. She was sooo stinking tiny! Weighing in at 4 lbs 12 oz at birth...this is a preemie outfit she has on in this pic. Unreal to think back on how itty bitty she was, and to see the beautiful girl she's growing up to be. Melts my heart!!

Have a Happy and Safe 4th!!
