Grant's 24th Birthday!

Happy 24th Birthday Grant! We celebrated by playing tennis, swimming, shopping and exploring Phoenix and even going out to eat to Grant's favorite restaurant Sweet Tomatoes.

I made Grant waffles for breakfast in bed and he opened birthday presents. I got him some new shirts to wear for work.

Sunday night the Grahams invited us over for dinner and made Grant the perfect dinner. They had decorated their house, made enchiladas, and had cake and ice cream. Then they gave Grant presents of a candy bar poster and other gifts. It was so nice to be around family and get to know the Grahams and Grandma Excel better.

Family Time in Lehi

We got to hang out with all the siblings and nieces and nephews for a few days and it was awesome! We dyed Easter Eggs, did Easter egg hunts, did egg jousting, watched Cokeville Miracle, and went out to eat. We tried a Thai and Japanese food restaurant. Quinton loves to play outside with his new uncle Grant.

Thanksgiving Break

We spent the weekend after Thanksgiving with Jeff and Melinda down in Saint George. Here we enjoyed some Mexican food at Irmitas.
