Grant the Hair Stylist

Grant has become obsessed with combing his own hair.  And now he is obsessed with combing anyone else hair.

Silvio is a great sport and victim!

Grant did a fabulous job on Silvio's hair!

I am pretty sure this is the first time Silvio has had a young kid comb his hair!

From the looks of it I think he enjoyed it too!

Go Silvio!!!

Ella is super in love with Silvio!  He plays so good with her know and really has warmed up to her!

Ella got a special outfit to cheer on Silvio at his football game!

Logan, Hunter, Grant and Ryker

These boys have loved cheering on Silvio!  They got all into it and dressed like this on multiple occasions!  Love our little town of Pima!  There really are some great perks to living in a small town!

Pima football ended up winning all but one game this season.  They made it to the last game before state, but lost that game 12-28.

Silvio has really enjoyed being on the football team and has made some great friends from the team!  Not sure what he's going to do with all his free time now that football is over.

Silvio really enjoyed being part of the Football Team!

The Team did really well this year and barely missed playing in the State Championship game.  Great job boys!  GO RIDERS!

Girls Weekend

We had planned a fun girls weekend to go to the Time Out for Women and Time Out for Girls.  These events got moved up a weekend due to the Phoenix Temple open house so they then landed on the same weekend as Kiersten's dance competition in Gilbert.  This meant that we would have to miss some of the talks but it was still a wonderful weekend!

Kiersten invited Alani to come with us way before the schedule change but she said she didn't mind.  Plus she was excited to see a dance competition!

We did some shopping at the Chandler Mall Friday afternoon and then had Pazooki at B.J.'s.  So yummy!  These girls are so funny together!  We then went to the evening part of TOFW.  It was wonderful!

We had to get up early the next morning to get Kirsten all ready and to travel from downtown Phoenix, where my mother in law had booked us a room, to far east Gilbert.  Tif and her girls were suppose to be with us too.  But Brian is in Texas at a treatment facility for his issues so her and the kids are flying out to visit him this weekend.  Our girls weekend kid of got ruined for lots of unexpected reasons.  But we made it to Kiersten's competition and her group did AMAZING!!!  Loved watching them dance!

After Kirsten danced we didn't even stay for the awards.  We hurried back to the TOFW event.

Even though I was in a different part, the girls and women have their own talks and music entertainment, it was still so much fun spending time with Kiersten and Alani.  It was fun to see all the Mesa cousins and to visit with them.  I just love an chance to get to see them.  They are so fun and I wish we lived closer to them!

This is Kirsten's best friend!

I am so grateful Kirsten has her!!

It was super nice to get away even though the weekend was jam packed with activities.

Fun Times

One night late I was seriously at the end of my whit......I was so exhausted and tired of having this broken foot, but I still needed to get several things from Walmart.  I talked Justin in to coming with me.  His only rule was that I let him push me in a wheel chair.

Oh My Word!  It was the most hilarious thing ever!  He honestly made me run into so much stuff.  He was a horrible driver.  I got to laughing so hard I was crying and I could not stop!  Then he was dying laughing.  

Add to this the fact that Justin had his shirt on backwards..........he put it on that way himself.  When I brought it to his attention before we got to Walmart I told him if I was going to have to ride in the wheel chair then he had to leave his shirt on backwards.

What a couple of crazy people we looked like!

Honestly we plan to use my boot again and go do this same thing another night in the future.

It was so funny and by the end we had so much crap there wasn't room for it.  I had stuff on my lap and we had tubs of ice cream and baby water on the handles.  
I love my crazy man!
It was a fun and silly night!

So Funny...

Today as I was trying to do Grant's hair for preschool he tells me, "Mom, it's Comb Your Hair Over Day at school today!  So you can't spike my hair.  It's not allowed!"

Seriously 5 year olds are the BEST!  I want to bottle him up and keep him at this stage!

"Comb Your Hair Over Day at School"

Totally made up by Grant!

Guess he is tired of having his hair spiked up!  If you're smart enough to come up with that scheme you deserve to comb your hair over!!!

Mr. Grant's Candy Shop

Mr. Grant is such a funny kid.  He decided all on his own that instead of having his Halloween candy that he would rather sell all his candy and have the money!

So he ripped up pieces of paper and with Grandma Boswell telling him how to write the prices, he made price tags for all his candy. 

He organized and set up the a whole candy shop in his bedroom.

It really was the cutest thing ever!

Funny story I posted on FaceBook how cute it was that Grant wanted to sell his Halloween candy.  Several people commented back that they would buy some of his candy which just thrilled him!!!  One person that said she would buy some was Jenny Rogers, our good friend.  So when I took one of the kids to dance I let Grant run in and give her a bag of his candy.  considering he was selling the candy for 5 cents, 6 cents and 10 cents.  The bag should have cost about 50 cents.  When he jumped out of the van I told him to tell her she owed him 50 cents.

He ran into the dance studio bursting at the seams!

When he came back to the van he had a 5 dollar bill!  I asked him what happened.  He said, "Jenny asked how much she owed me and I told her fib dollos and she didn't care!"

We both got a kick out of it!

I love my Mr. Grant!

Such a smart idea selling his candy.  He made about $15 and still got to eat some candy so he was a happy boy!!!

Family Party For Silvio

I wish I had taken a picture of Silvio's expression when he found out we had bought him birthday gifts.  It was priceless.....he was so shocked and happy!

He is just part of our family and fits in so well with us it's crazy!

Ella got Silvio his own package of yogurt drops....Love that Italian boys smile!

Mr. Grant wanted to have a party hat just like Sivlio.

Silvio is so good to Grant and Grant just adores Silvio so much!

It's been fun to see the different relationships with Silvio grow and blossom in just a few months.

Happy Birthday Silvio!
