Saint Susanna showcased Grants bible story scroll on social media!  His favorite bible study is Adam and Eve!  Check out his detailed drawing of Adam and Eve and the apple tree and snake!  Love his religious education!!!!  Proud of Grant!

Moeller sports camp

Future Crusaders enjoying the Moeller sports camp. It's from 9 AM to 2 PM every day. It's a huge commitment and the longest Grant has ever been gone but these two love it.
They feel proud to be at the same school their uncles and grandpa graduated from.

Grant graduates from preschool

Grant is officially kindergarten bound. Hard to believe how fast these two years of preschool went. He had a fabulous year and has learned so much and is already showing growth in so many areas.
He is excited to go to school where his brother and sister attend! He is going to be in half-day kindergarten with the option to transition to full day. It's the perfect fit.

This was on the wall at the reception after his preschool graduation. Grant traded pizza maker in for a construction worker. He described this photo as him and his dad digging a hole as his toolbox is next to him. Looks like Conger construction has a new potential employee.

Grant's soccer team

Grant had his first soccer game last night. He is on the same team as he was last year with his little buddies. He has improved so much since last year. Last season he would run off the field and want to sit on my lap. This season he doesn't want to sit out a quarter and is very goal hungry. He has the eye of the tiger out there on the field.

 

 

 

Grant and Freddie

These two right here… Inseparable. They truly are best friends. And cousins. And classmates. They really hit the jackpot with each other.

 

Grant @ 5 years old

Here they are… Grants official five-year-old birthday shoot. I forgot to take pictures for his actual birthday, but better late than never. Can't believe this little buddy of ours is five years old already and is registered for kindergarten for the fall!

Here is our, handsome as ever, Grant. Five photos that capture his personality. We sure do love this boy and he brings so much affection, joy and fun to our family. 

And on a last note - he is one heck of a great big brother and little brother!

Happy 5th Birthday, Grant!!

You know the drill… On your birthday morning you wake up to presents, balloons, and cinnamon rolls in the kitchen. The morning starts extra early. Everyone is super excited to celebrate Grant!!!! 

You opened a bow and arrow, Minecraft Legos, and Star Wars Play-dough!  Everything you asked for.

You squeal with delight and jump up-and-down with every present you open....Because you're that type a kid… Full of life, love, enthusiasm and gratitude.

Your classmates celebrated your birthday with you yesterday at school. You got to wear a birthday crown, you received a special pencil and you were able to pass out teenage mutant ninja turtle fruit snacks to all your classmates. How exciting for Grant.

We often say Grant is the MVP of our family. He truly is the nicest kid with the biggest heart. He is a giver not a taker. He is a problem solver. If someone's upset, he will find a solution right away. Even if that means sacrificing something he loves to make somebody else happy. He's quick to forgive, and he's always ready to be a playmate and always goes with the flow!

This is his best friend and cousin Freddie!  These to play so well together and they are so compatible. They have play dates every week for hours and you don't ever hear them make a peep, or get into a tiff, they are Best Buds!  And Legos are their jam!

And we had a birthday party celebration today at McDonald's. We couldn't think of a better place than McDonald's Playland to celebrate his fifth birthday. He invited his preschool friends over to help celebrate. Happy meals, cupcakes, and a playland made for some happy children.  So simple yet so awesome....

And dad made a guest appearance. The look on Grant's face says it all...

And we ended the day with our family over for Papa John's pizza, cake and black raspberry chip ice cream. All of your favorites. 

We love you, buddy. You make us so proud. And I thank God for the greatest five years of raising you. What a blessing. I love you, Grant!
