Gramps Birthday

Friday night - we went over to Aunt Maude's house (Sandy) to celebrate my Grandpa's 86th birthday. I hope when I am 86 I can still do all the things he does - he still farms with my dad (long 8 - 10 hour days sometimes) and he still goes to Florida in the winter...


So - the amazing thing about this birthday party was looking around at all the kids we now have in our family. I remember for the longest time when we got together with my dad's side of the family - Trevor and I were the only kids - then for quite some time there were no kids....

Now look at all the kids - it was hilarious - they were all over the place playing with the basket of tractors and mowers and trucks. Even Lexi would go over to the basket and grab a toy and then 2 minutes later she would drop that one and grab a different one.

Little Sophie is the newest member of the family and her and Lexi hit it off (except when Lexi stole her toy - she is used to playing a little rough with Cole I guess)

Bill is still trying to get Lexi to say "Bill" although so far she is ignoring him - she can say plenty of words - I think she knows how much Bill wants her to say it - so she refuses... but when Cindi told lexi to go hug "papa" she ran over to my dad.... he is so proud of his grandaughter.

The picture of Lexi with the cake is from Bill trying to bribe her to say "Bill" with yummy yummy cake and frosting.
