The Birthday Boy and Girl

We are blessed with the cutest and smartest grand kids...seriously. Two of them share August 16th as their birthday...even the same year...Bronson, Kari and Will's son, and Gracie, Jimmy and Hollie's daughter, both turned 5 this past Monday. Sue and I had a chance to share some time with both of them ( a real trick so no one feels left out by grandma and grandpa :) ) We love spending time with all of our grand kids whenever we get the chance.

Bronson absolutely loves anything to do with Cowboys. He got the whole shebang of cowboy get up including, real cowboy jeans, boots, hat, belt buckle, shirts, some six shooters. He's a real cowpoke now. We we able to share a lot of that experience with them on Sunday evening. On Monday his parents took him to the Texas Roadhouse where he was treated to a special ride in the birthday saddle. What a great time for Bronson...he is on cloud nine. That boy has moved to the right area of the country, because here in Utah, there really are real cowboys. He's practicing his new cowboy walk in those tighter than tight jeans and boots. He'll be ready for mutton busting one of these days real soon....then bull riding....that's just around the corner. (sorry Kari...just make sure the insurance is paid up)

Gracie had a friend party during the day on Monday and got all kinds of neat little girly girl stuff. A lot of it was Barbie related...because....well...she really is a little girly girl and looooves anything to do with Barbie. Jimmy and Hollie had a fun family get together at night where she got a lot of books, and lots of other fun things. He most favorite gift of all was....wait till you hear this....MOUTHWASH! Seriously. This little girl is so funny. She always has hand sanitizer with her and loves mouthwash. So Sue and I and grandma and grandpa Comeford both got her a few bottles of mouthwash....the kind that colors your teeth until you brush it off. She also got a couple of Barbie electric toothbrushes.
