Grandma and Grandpa Were Here!!

On Wednesday evening, Grandma and Grandpa arrived at our house! Micah was so excited to have them visit and stay at HIS house!! They were nice enough to come up a few days before his birthday party to watch him as we didn't have daycare on Thursday or Friday. It was wonderful to have them visit and Micah really enjoyed it!

On Thursday, Craig & Grandpa Harlan worked on the house project. They got the grade correct and just cleaned up a few other things. Micah and Grandma hung out at home and enjoyed the nice cool weather! I came home for lunch that day and when I was getting ready to leave, Micah said he was tired. I tucked him into bed and figured he fell fast asleep. Ahh No, he decided that after mom left, he would go out and sit on Grandma's lap in the recliner to take a nap! What a little stinker but I guess I won't say much, I am sure grandma didn't mind a bit!
Here are a couple of pictures:

Cuddling with Grandma!
Friday was Micah's 3rd Birthday!! Grandma had plans to meet up with Brandy and the cousins at the park for a McDonalds Picnic! Oh Micah was super excited and he had a blast from what I could tell. After that they came home and Micah took a 3 hr nap! That generally means it was successful trip to the park! Friday evening Ryan, Brandy and family came over for some grilled burgers, hot dogs and brauts. We had a nice supper and then I put them to work!! (Sorry guys!) They were put on water balloon duty! I had to fill balloons for Saturday's birthday party, so Brandy, Sandy & I filled them up. Craig did step in for one rotation but other than that it was just the ladies. It went pretty well and we were done in no time!!
Here are a few pictures from the evening..
Micah loved the corn on the cob!
It was his first time eating it!
Declan flashing me his killer smile while Micah is silly in background.
Ok, let me explain.. While everyone was hanging out that night, Grandpa Harlan was showing off his tricks. He can ride a bike backwards!!! I have a video I will post, but I will do that a little later. Of course the kids had to be like Grandpa and try to do it!!

Here is Micah giving his best effort!

Ebeni not impressed at all!Elijah's turn to give it a whirl!

Micah lounging around on Saturday AM.
He is cuddling with his Baby Izzac that he got for his birthday.
Yes, I bought him a baby, against daddies wishes of course! I thought Craig was going to have a heart attack when he saw it! But, Micah is going through that stage where he likes to take care of things and he was walking around the house with his blanket pretending it was a baby, so I thought, why not!
On to Saturday! THE BIRTHDAY BASH!!!

I love the picture of Micah eating corn on the cob. For some reason he looks so grown up there. Sounds like he got some quality time with his grandparents! We bought Max a doll right after Siri was born. He was almost 3. He was the same way, wanted something to cuddle with and "take care of." With a real baby in the house he took it a step farther. He would breast feed his baby too. Usually only when I was feeding Siri. And I caught him a couple times with my pump and when I asked what he was doing he said, "pumping"...like "duh, what do you mean what am I doing!" It was hilarious!! He's a well adjusted 'all boy' boy now at 9 years old, tell Craig to rest assured :) Jay wasn't too fond of the whole situation either!!
