Happy Bithday Alex

     Alex had a fun Chucky  Cheese party on New Years Eve

                           We celebrated his  4th Birthday                       

 Chocolate cake is his favorite! 

Natalie enjoyed  the party too!

Everyone had a good time  Jonathon, Geoffrey played  the basketball toss and

Natalie the video games.  The little kids played with everything!

This is a wind tunnel the birthday child goes in and tries to catch the winning tickets. 

 Alex asked his  big brother to help!!  Way to go Jayden!

Luke Bryant concert!

For Natalie's 15th Birthday she went with Kristie to see Luke Bryan at the Amway Center!

They are wearing matching shirts that Kristie got for her!

Natalie has always like going to concerts but this one maybe was not the best one...I think it was a older crowd and not geared as much to teens  She really had fun just think she liked other ones better!

Merrik

Merrik Allen McGrath

Merrik is so full of energy he just runs and jumps and plays until he's is finally exhausted!  The only thing is that by the time he is exhausted Katelyn is too!!!

 I like these couple of pictures we took of him exploring the beach. He is a fun one to sit back and watch..  (well staying close enough to stop what ever crazy thing he thinks of )

This is a good boy because he would like to be jumping in the water or at least hanging off the dock. 

We let him walk the dock by himself..  not to far but here he is sitting like a big boy watching the jet skis go by. If you look at his face you can see its taking all his control to just sit there.
What a  beautiful bunch of kids , each one is so different from the others but this grandma thinks they are all beautiful , sweet, & and , and extra smart!!  I'm  especially  fond of the Big one!

Catching fish!

Fish at the lake... Each morning Rick goes out and feeds the fish..  he has about 100 or more that seem to be waiting for breakfast.  Result are the kids catch fish almost every time they throw a line in.  They get very excited and then we throw them back.  I think Britton is the best fisherman in the group.  At least he seems to be the most interested.   He catches a fish we get to see the best smile.

This girl is just NOT afraid of any animal!!  Every not even when she was little.  Payton is a girly girl but when it comes to animals  nothing is off limits!  Very cool little lady.

Universal

A day at Universal Studios with the kids.  We all have annual passes and use them as much as we can. Here are a few fun pictures I just don't want to forget!

 This is one of the dogs from Beethoven 2  He was very sweet , he sat still and loved the attention everyone gave him.  Katelyn liked him too!

 This Picture is of Macie watching the Parade with all the wonder in a little girls eyes.

 Macie loves any kind of parade.

 We like to get lunch at Hard Rock..  Jonathon says its the best junk food !

Happy Britton

 Jonathon thinks Payton is having a fun time...  I think he may be choking her (accidentally)

Payton like the ET ride .  Macie.....not very sure.

Alex wanted to sit by Baby Carter the whole time.  He would rather sit and hold Carters hand than ride the rides .  Alex will love having his baby sister.     

Alex is a tender heart!
