Even though we had a big party the week before I tried to Gracie feel special on her birthday. She hung out with Kade and Tyson and Samuel, and got a milkshake after lunch.
Gracie and the Boys.
I did a little photoshot for Gracie on her birthday. As you may recall I want to be a budding photographer but I am still in the early spring of my development.
We have sort of been transitioning Samuel out of naps because when he has a nap he has a hard time going to sleep at night but some days it gets a little hard for him in the afternoon. He sat down to play Atari with Rodney and started to fall asleep. We all go a great laugh out of it.
Of course Rodney finished playing with him even though Samuel wasn't really participating.
Grandma Eberhard made this cute cake for the party.
Travis was enjoying the pinata part of the party the best.
Gracie trying her hardest to free all the pinata treats.
Because Grandma and Grandpa were here on Jack's birthday we had a double party and Gracie got to celebrate a week early. Grandma brought a pinata and made a great cake, and of course the kids had great time.
So Jack's birthday was a great day. Living in a little branch he was the only one getting baptized as so he got to do it on his birthday. Grandma and Grandpa Eberhard and Aunt Nicolle and Uncle Travis all came to celebrate with us. I am so proud of Jack but it made me a little emotional to think that my little boy was old enough to be baptized.
The boys were being goofy and all decided to dress in their slicky pants so I took a picture.
I was making pie for something so I decided that Gracie and Tyson should learn about the letter P. I had them each make their own little cream pie and as you can see Tyson was very excited about eating his. It was a lot of fun and Gracie still remembers how to write the letter P and what sound it makes. 
Here is Jack on the first day of school. I had a hard time believing that he was headed to 2nd grade. It is even harder to believe that he will getting baptized soon. Am I old enough to have an 8 year old? Jack worked really hard to lose 4 teeth so he would have a great smile for this picture.
I just had to put this picture on my blog. We were on our way home from Utah and I looked back in the rear view mirror to check on the kids and saw this. Luckily the camera was in the front seat and I had Jack snap a picture. I just thought it was so funny.
