Happy Birthday Jelly! Doesn't she seem like she's having the best of times?! Here she is eating her "cake" and waiting to dig into her presents! She's 7 years old now, which is crazy to think. She's been such an amazing cat all these years and I'm so glad we have her.
We bought a whole big bag of oranges so that we could make some fresh orange juice. Grayson and Brooke had a lot of fun sticking the oranges into the juicer.
We made quite a bit, and it was very delicious, so it seems like we got good oranges! Lucky day.
We went to Chick-fil-a for dinner, and while we were there about half the restaurant was reserved for a tea party. The star of the party was definitely the CFA cow! I didn't even know she existed. She came by our table and our kids were really excited to see her. Grayson was may be a little nervous the first time they met, but he gave her a big hug before we left.
Sadly, Monica has a miscarriage this past week at 7 weeks pregnant. She had an ultrasound just before the miscarriage happened so here's a picture of the little babe. It's been a hard and long week for her, but things are starting to get better. When we got our license plate for the van in Colorado, it was
BWG T29, which the kids noticed aligned with Brooke Winry and Grayson, and meant we were due for a T next. So here is Tyrone/Tyrella.
Grayson got sick this week, and for the first time I can remember he was very tired and sat around while sick. Usually he's still jumping around and full of energy.
And then we came to Jelly's birthday! YAY! Brooke wanted to make her a birthday banner, so she folded a bunch of origami cats to write on. Look at the excitement on Jelly's face!
We gave Jelly a cake, consisting of wet food surrounded by treats, and sang her happy birthday. Pretty fancy! We even lit a candle and sang her happy birthday. The flame wasn't enough to stop her from getting in there, though it made me nervous so I blew it out quick.
We found a little cat tunnel thing for her at the store as well. I think she's only been in it this once when I coaxed her in. Hopefully she plays with it more soon.
Gram came to visit through the latter half of the week and help with the kids. It was great to have her here, and she even cooked with the kids! They're making banana bread and Grayson is being a great helper.
For nailed it in my family call this month we were supposed to make my dad. You may remember the bust I 3D printed of him back in September/October of last year, well I turned that into a mold and made a chocolate head!
There was a really nice rainstorm on Friday, and we had some fun playing in the rain. Grayson wanted to go out with an umbrella, and he even came in and told Monica to open up the blinds and see him outside, and then came back out and over to the window to say hello!
Sunday a mean game of tag broke out in the backyard, and not even Gram could escape it's pull.
