I am having a hard time readjusting to normal life. Especially since normal life really is not normal life. I came home to a house torn down to the studs in my kitchen/family room. There are workmen of some sort or another here all the time. It is progress, exciting progress, but it is definitely not normal life. Vacation was WONDERFUL! There were some more pics I wanted to include but someone's hubs forbid me to post pictures of him without his written consent. I think he was kidding, but in the end, he wins because the adorable pictures of him and the adorable AJ left with Rich on the laptop. These will have to do for now. (Please keep in mind that I am NOT a photographer like Tracy or Paige!) It just figures that the only picture of me was taken the day I wore the bathing suit that I hate the most due to its unflattering nature! Grant turned 5 while at the beach! He loved his Kung Fu Panda cake, but was utterly TRAUMATIZED by the sombrero, singing, and smearing of whipped cream on his face at the Mexican restaurant. Seriously, it was bad. He was inconsolably sad. Thank God for my brilliant idea to let him open his presents to pull him out of his funk! And thank Ya-Ya Ma for getting him the Speed Racer that was just the thing that pulled him back into HappyLand!
So sweet, it will rot your teeth right the heck out!
There are no words for my happiness at seeing my and el-e-e's friendship pass down to the next generation!
WHAT kind of face is that you ask??? The face of a kid who REALLY doesn't want his picture taken, yet has been bribed for his compliance.
Summer Bliss!
Hey! My kid is UNDER the water!
Um, mom, if you keep calling my name to take my picture I'm going to get tagged and have to be Marco!
Yep, we built this, uh-huh, SUUURRE we did!
WHY WHY WHY was I wearing THIS damn suit and NOT one of the two I had like 8 million compliments on??? Also, could it not have been taken the day after I recovered from the salmonella poisoning and had the flattest stomach ever? So flat in fact, that my bathing suits would fall down!
No, Grant, we can't see you AT ALL! Nope, not a bit!
Taking a break from the sun and sand. I swear these cousins have a blast doing ANYTHING at all together!
I love that all the cousins love each other SO MUCH! But, WHEN did they get so damned old?
The requested, but oh-so-elusive, Kung-Fu Panda cake!
The incident that shall not be named. Aren't we great parents? His bottom lip is ACTUALLY quivering in this picure, and what are we DOING? Are we trying to console him? No, we are taking pictures to document his humiliation and misery.
See, Tebow was happy BEFORE they smeared whipped cream all over his face and laughed at him! Take note, future bride of Grant, there will be no cake smearing! Edited to add...Grant just walked by as Connor and I were looking at the messy face picture. He became angry and indignantly declared, "Top lookee at dat!! It is NOT funny!"

That bribed face picture is HILARIOUS.
Poor kiddo! That quivering lip photo makes me want to cry for him! I'm glad the presents pulled him out of the bad mood, though. They seem to do that for me too. Funny how that works.
Also, shut up. You look awesome in your suit.
And did you get salmonella from tomatoes or what?
Awww... "Top lookee at dat!" Poor G-man. That memory might stay with him for life. Tee hee!
I'm so glad you all (mostly) had a wonderful time. These pictures are terrific.
By the by, I'm not stuck in Nigeria. I got hacked.
