grant turns 7!!!

i'm not sure how this is possible. i still remember the day we brought him home. 
cutest baby ever with his tufts of blonde hair, big blue eyes, adorable smile. 
he's such a great kid in so many ways, 
and we had so much fun celebrating his birthday.




i love pictures of them together. chase was almost more excited than grant!




grant is in love with dragons, so he got a lot of dragon themed toys/books.








he got a voice recorder he's always wanted. not the best idea ever. 
we've already caught him a few times secretly recording us!



one of grant's big presents was a hermit crab. we actually got the first one, "crawly," 
a few months ago in case the pet store was out of them by his birthday rolled around.
i read they do better with a friend, so he got a second crab on his birthday - "sandy."




spy glasses - he's spying on chase



chase loves his donuts!!!




chuck-e-cheese! it's a family tradition to take them 
on their birthday and they love it!!!
















the red crab is "sandy"



the purple one is "crawly"



blowing out the candles!!








one week later school started! i hate school starting. 
i miss my boys playing together and us having fun all summer. 

grant is still the tallest kid around. and the most handsome. :)

beach

a few weeks ago we had a great beach day. friends, surfing, food, sand, sun....it was a great time.
grant stood up multiple times on the surfboard, which was awesome to see.
(i'm so sad i didn't get any good pictures of grant. he did a lot of boogie boarding too
with some awesome friends of ours that took him out time and time again.)
and chase got really good at boogie boarding and rode some big waves for the first time.
