Mitchell is 18!

On Sunday, August 28th at 8:07am, Mitchell turned 18! He finally made it this momentous occasion. That evening we had a family party. Mitchell chose to have stroganoff and asparagus for dinner and a lemon glazed angel food cake for dessert.

Since we didn't have 18 candles and because it is hard to put candles into angel food cake, Mitchell had 6 candles. But if you multiply that by 3 it equals 18. :) Mitchell blew them all out quickly.

A big hug from his proud mama!
Tonight we took Mitchell out to Famous Dave's Bar-b-Que for ribs. His girlfriend, Perry, joined us for the extra yummy dinner. Mitchell saw another couple celebrating a birthday and they had this flaring candle and ice cream. He quickly grabbed our waitress and told her he just turned 18 yesterday and can he have the candle and ice cream too. He sure isn't shy! Needless to say, he got exactly what he asked for!

First Day of School 2011

On Monday, August 8th, Grant and I went back to school. Grant started his freshman year at Corona del Sol High School. He was a little anxious about how it would go but the whole first week went great! Max really wanted to go to school with Grant. He LOVES Grant so much!

Here is the height differential between Grant and I. I am betting that by the end of this school year he will be taller than me.
