Party

My Dad turned 57 this month. He got sick and so we had to postpone his birthday party. So this last weekend we got together and partied. Happy Birthday Dad!!! The kids had a water party and played a few new fun water games. Including water volleyball. Here is a picture of Laurie, Kimmie and Adrianne playing against Johnny and Brad. I don't know where Zack was?

Then we got out the ATV's which Johnny has named one of Grandma's ATV's Lightening McQueen. He was to scared to go on a ride although would put the helmet on and take a photos. Erik took Kimmie on a ride and I wasn't nice about it. I hate it when my husband makes me be the bad guy. We had decided that she couldn't ride the ATV's and all of a sudden Dad says yes and Mom is the bad guy. So she ended up going. Although she looks cute! She had a good time. But we over did her night and she had some seizures. But she had a great time!

You look like Grandpa

To all of those who know don't know me really well. My dad served in the military for 34 years.

This morning Kimmie had school picture day. Which I think is totally a horrible day to do school picture day. How can you do pictures on St. Patrick's Day? That being besides the point. I bought Kimmie the cutest camo shirt for school picture day. She can look cute and have green on. I thought that was the perfect compromise. Mainly because her one and only nice green thing she wore for the fall school picture day. So I couldn't have her wear it again. Short side of the story. I bought this really cute shirt. I went to put it on her this morning and the first thing that Johnny says to Kimmie is... "You look like Grandpa." What an amazing ego boost for a nine year old girl to look like Grandpa. Not that she doesn't love grandpa, but still.

I tied a white ribbon in her hair and curled it up pretty. I tried for her to look like a girl and not grandpa. Although no matter how this years spring photos turn out I will always look at them and remember Johnny's announcement, "You look like Grandpa."
