Today is Ryan's Grandma Jan's birthday! We were so excited to go and celebrate with her a few days ago. She has just completed two of her six chemo treatments for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, so she is currently without hair, but is looking great with her scarf. We thought we'd show a little solidarity and pull out some of our silly hats (we have a goofy tradition of silly hat dinners every once in awhile). We had a great visit!
Here are Ryan and Kristen with all the kiddos (We missed Tim, Laura, and Faith who were home sick).
Our family with Grandma...
Scott's family with Grandma...
...and the star of the show, the decadent chocolate cake from Costco (Ryan's not bad either :) ). Chemo has made Jan lose her sense of taste (only temporarily, thank goodness) so we were hopeful that she would be able to taste some of this chocolately goodness... she could! We also brought her some fire hot Cheetos which were way too hot for the rest of us, but just right for her.
I love the way the kids add their own little flair to the birthday song. Happy birthday Jan!
"Ew, that's just gross" (in response to my changing clothes in the family room, even though I kept my undergarments on!)
"You don't need to be in love, you're already married" (when I told Coleman that Daddy was the only boy I was in love with)
Coleman's Quips--Funny things that escape his lips!
"You're going to have to get MUCH smaller to fit into that, Mom."
"We don't want to follow that other guy... what's his name again Mom?" (after scripture study when we had talked about wanting to follow Jesus).
"I found a hooker!" (as we were doing a family puzzle--he was talking about the puzzle piece with the little part that juts out and hooks to the other piece)
"Basil Donuts" (Glazed donuts)
"Fashion Donuts" (you know, the kind with the sprinkles)
"Drastic Park 3" (Jurassic Park 3)
"Choo-Choo Bobs or Shishkamabobs" (both are used interchangeably for shishkabobs)
