Fair Fun 2006!!
Well, we went to the fair. Actually, Grant, Scott and Granma went to the Fair on Friday. Mommy, Daddy and Grant went to the fair today. I will try to post some of the pictures from Friday at a later date (as I have to get them from Granma). I've heard she got some good ones of Grant sitting on the goats!
Today, we met some friends of ours at the fair and their two, little girls. We started out at the animals and worked our way over to a Children's exhibit before heading to the indoor exhibits (where you can buy everything under the moon...which I showed great self-control and purchased NOTHING!!...it was too crowded or else I would have given in).
Grant, Socorro and Audry seemed to really love the animals. They saw cows (even being milked), goats, bunnies (of every shape and color and size), chickens, ducks, roosters, llamas, a zorse (cross between a zebra and horse), a zonkey (cross between zebra and donkey), horses, etc. One of the best parts of today was "The Great American Horse Ride." Yeah, this is a fancy name for a pony ride. Grant loved it!!! Socorro loved it so much, she immediately wanted back on (who can blame her).
We ended up going to an indoor exhibit and Grant wanted two things: "choo choo train and bire tuck." That would be the train set on a table and the fire truck exhibit. We went to an outdoor train exhibit. It was so neat. It was probably the largest model train exhibit I have ever seen. Those things are so cool and have so much detail.
By the time we made it to the exhibit halls with all the merchandise, I was too tired to shop or deal with the crowds. Oh, did I mention it was the last day of the fair. Yeah, that could have had something to do with it. Oh, well!! We had a blast. Enjoy the photos!

Happy Birthday, Jessica!!
Well, yesterday was Jessica's 23rd birthday!! It was a lot of fun! Grant and I met everyone at Buca Di Beppo!!! Grant loved it! He was singing the "Happy Birthday" song on the way over. He was talking about cake and ice cream (please leave out the "r" sound for the full effect). He ate so well. He ate spaghetti, alfredo with noddles, garlic bread (the kid never eats bread products!), and spamoni?? (I hope I spelled that correctly). He had a blast and lasted the entire party. Happy Birtday, Jessica (we had a blast!). Oh, look for Jessica...she's singing in front of Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowle?? next Saturday...yeah, she made it to the second cut!! (which means she can sing in front of the "real" judges) GOOD LUCK!!

A New Haircut!!
Grant is no stranger to the barber. I am not sure if you call our barber a barber or a hairstylist. He is not in a barber shop, but instead he owns a children's haircut place. It is really cute and Grant has been going to the same guy since his first haircut (at 6 months old). Denny has seen Grant at least a dozen times since then. So, here is Grant showing off his new haircut. When I got the camera out Grant said, "Cheese" and smiled at the camera. Then, he got off of the couch and ran over to see what the picture looked like on the digital. He said, "Gant." I had to agree!! He is such a sweetie and so cute!!!! The above pictures are my attempt to a before and after picture.

School Is Back in Session! But this is funny!
Really quick story because it is way past my bedtime. Okay, school started with students last Thursday...rough the first few days because I was use to staying home with Grant. Anyway, he didn't seemed to be bothered. He still has Daddy and that is just as good as Mommy.
Anyway, I digress. I got home from work yesterday (the official third day of school) and surprisingly, I was tired. haha I walk in the door and Scott says to Grant,"Who is it?" Grant comes barreling around the corner of the hallway yelling, "Mommy!!" Wow!! My students were not this excited to see me. Grant looks at me and seriously holds up a microphone (that he has taken off of his piano/keyboard) and says, "Mommy sing." Alright, so I admit it, I sang a Wiggles song (yes, I know a couple of them...don't tell anyone...I'll deny it). After I am done (and yes, my kid is dancing to my song...well, my Wiggles song), he claps and says, "Yeah, you did it!" So, I pass the mic to him and he does it and we dance and clap...then to Scott and we dance and clap...back to Mommy. Well, you see were this is going. Oh, did you picture me still with my lunch, purse and school stuff in my hands...yeah, rewind and picture that.
It's nice to be home when you have such a supportive two-year-old and a hubby who loves to Karoke!! Enjoy!

Just a Cute Note
First and foremost, I should mention that school is back in session, so the blog will suffer from this for awhile. However, I have to write this down...it was too cute. Last night when I was putting Grant to bed, we always have the same routine. We take a bubble bath (an Elmo bubble bath because they are Elmo bubbles). Then, we put an animal towel on and make the sound of the animal and look in the mirror and say, "Mommy and Gant." (He doesn't pronounce the "r" yet...it's so cute). Next, off to his room where we dry off and put on pajamas (which recently has been a bit of a chore because he now wants to pick out his pj's...that's fine until he picks out a long sleeve and you know he'll be too hot and wake up in the middle of the night or shorts and then he's too cold). Next, we clean our ears and comb our hair and brush our teeth (well, for Grant it is just to suck the toothpaste off the brush). Now, it is time for us to pick out our books we will read and warm up some milk (don't worry a quick brush of the teeth and the milk goes away).
So, last night same old thing. However, when we went out to pick out the books he had his "You Can Name 100 Trucks" book and a book by Charles Schulz about wanting a dog for Christmas. This is the deal, it was my second day of school, I was exhausted and the Charlie Brown book was way too long. So, I tried to slip in the "Mo's Stinky Sweater" book (a favorite of Gmans) or "The Secret Birthday Message"....NO, that would not do, we had to have the Charlie Brown book. Okay, fine. As I handed Grant his milk, he ran to his bedroom with excitement and I tossed the Charlie Brown book on the coffee table in the living room and thought I had won a victory.
So, I turn on the night light and get ready to read and noticed...puppies were not in bed. Now, I could care less if puppies were in bed or not, but this would pose a problem for Gman later on. So, as a preventative measure I ask Grant, "where are puppies?" He jumps out of bed and heads to the living room where he had left them both. As he is coming through the door, I realized the funniest thing...Grant was carrying two puppies and the Charlie Brown book. He handed me the book and gave me the look of "you must have dropped it." I couldn't stop laughing. I read it happily and after five more books he fell asleep.
That kid is smart!! I like his style!! He makes me laugh!! I was so tired yesterday and that is what a wonderful child like Grant can do for you....lift you up! Enjoy the Labor Day weekend! DON'T LABOR!
