Meet the family...

So I thought I'd start by introducing the fam...


Ty just turned 7 yesterday and is our big 1st grader, loves ALL sports, math, reading, watching Saturday morning cartoons, battling with his bro and sis in the basement, playing piano and learning. And he looks just like his Dad--what a cutie! (The pic is of Ty at wrestling practice)



Shayla is now 5, can't wait for Kindergarten to start, loves keeping her brothers in line, anything princess related, scootering, coloring, writing her name on everything, attending Joy School, gymnastics and playing with friends. She can often be heard saying, "I love Grant, but I sure wish I had a sister." She loves having sleepovers in her brothers' room, staying up late telling funny stories.



Garrett is our entertaining 3 year old. He loves to dribble a basketball (he's better than me at it), can break-it-down on the dance floor, color, look at books, play "princess" with Shayla or "battle" with Ty, and loves giving his baby kisses.



Grant is 7 months old and such a sweet baby. He loves eating baby food, sitting up, spitting up, smiling and laughing, spitting/blowing bubbles, eating Cheerios, sticking his tongue out, and being adorable. Ty sums it up the best when he says, "It would be so sad if we didn't have Grant in our family."

What an adorable family, and it's so fun to see Grant! Hope you are all doing well.

P.S. I think I might have just sent through two comments! If so, just delete the first one.

You forgot to mention that Shayla looks just like her Mom - what a cutie! I can't believe how big Garrett is... I remember him the age of Grant so easily! Wow! What a beautiful family you have. And what a busy Mom you must be with all of the things they like to do.
