Alexander David Grover

I have posted a lot about Alex as of late but hey its been a celebration of his birth which is pretty significant. I can't help but smile at the thought of my sweet boy and how much joy he brings to my life. What was even more fun was to see how much his friends find joy in him too. Here are pictures of our parties. Enjoy.

My Sweet Boy

Well its the week we have been all been anticipating--I should say I have been--and Alex too. He is turning 8 years old in 4 days. This is a big thing for our family because he is going to be baptized. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints getting baptized is a big step and with this decision he will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost through the power of the priesthood. He will have the guidance and direction of the Holy Ghost throughout his life to help him to know the truthfulness of all things, to keep him from deception, and to help him to Choose the Right in a world of so much chaos.














Of course he is also pretty excited for his upcoming birthday party. He is having all of his friends over to watch a movie on our big screen- we are having a snack bar, popcorn and pop- 10 boys and lots of fun. These are the invitations that I made for each of the events. They mark a moment that we will remember for all our lives.

Nicholas' Passion

For those of you out there who think I am making it up about Nicholas and his obsession with Monster Trucks---here's the proof. As i walked out to pick the other kids up at the bus stop I couldn't help but smile at the work he had put into lining up all his monster trucks because according to him, "monster trucks go in the dirt" He had great time playing in our "work site" that has been the greatest home made play area since Alex was 3 or so. Anyway here are some photos I had to snap to capture this moment.

Monster Jam

Oh...it was so much fun! Let the pictures speak for themselves!
