what's cooking?

 Happy 9th birthday to our youngest grandson, Jackson!

It's amazing how fast our grandkids have grown in what seems to be a little blip in the time warp of life.

Tonight we will have a family party.  Complete with food from his favorite restaurant.  Olive Garden.  Last year he told us that the dinner rolls were "awesome".  He did ear his weight in bread, but he also ate an entire kids pizza.  It was a fun night with a bit of sadness-his best friend was moving the following day to a brand new state, so this was their last fun time together.

This year the food is being dished up in our home.  Our family-sized dinner table is being put to good use, for sure.  He's having a kids party at the community pool in the afternoon.  He did ask me to make oreo brownies for his family dessert.  

My pleasure!

School started here a few days ago.  Hard to believe that both Dylan and Aidan are now in high school!

Jackson is in 4th grade with a "side" of excel math class.  He worked all summer teaching himself 4th grade math with the help of mom and dad.  The 3 days a week he was here I decided "not to go there".  I'm notoriously horrible at anything with numbers.  Only thing worse than getting wrong answers is learning the wrong way on how you go about getting them.

Bryce is in first grade.  Poor grandpa.  His last grandchild is now telling him he's "not funny" and "stop singing, you're hurting my ears". LOL

Good thing she at least tells him she still loves him.
