Wish "Grant"ed: Birthdays and Baby Belly

September brings quite a few birthdays for my extended family. This year, my Grandpa Winkler turned 90!! We had a big reunion/birthday party to celebrate. Luckily for me, my doctor didn't restrict me to the Salt Lake Valley for my last month with this baby (he did with Grant, probably because I went to China while pregnant with Grant....) so I was able to go up for it. As always, it was fun to see family and I thoroughly enjoyed helping celebrate my cute grandpa!

The awesome cake my cousin made!

There's my boys!

closed eyes Lisa! It's the best shot I got!!)

A few days after Grandpa's birthday, it was Grant's turn! He turned 2 this year. Since he couldn't tell me what cake he wanted, I decided to make a car cake since he loves cars right now! I am no professional, but I think it turned out cute and I had fun making it. After I told Grant what it was, he got really excited about his "cah car" cake. That made mommy awfully happy!

The finished cake. If you look in the back, you

can see the picture/pattern I used to make it :)

Early morning birthday boy! We went out for breakfast

Singing "Happy Birthday"

We had a low-key party with just family there

Trying to blow out the candles. He accidentally

blew one out before we started singing.

Then his daddy helped him get them blown out.

Time for presents! The Mickey Mouse from

his Aunt Dantzel was a big hit :)

Pulling his new outfit from Grandma W out

of the bag. He saw it was clothes and put it

back in the bag without looking to see

the books in there too! It made me laugh :)

After looking back through my pictures, I realized I had not gotten a good picture of my baby belly with this little girl. So, at 38 1/2 weeks, I got a couple shots just for the memories. As I'm writing this, I am 2 days overdue and still waiting for her to come. Hopefully it will be VERY soon!
