Grammy/Peyton Day and Garrison turns 13/Grammy 69

Garrison guest-played in a tournament mid-July.  We went to two of the games and saw him pitch and catch - also had some good hits.  Always fun to support him.  Had lunch with Amanda at Cracker Barrel.  

Grammy and Peyton Day 2024 is in the books.  We had a wonderful time starting with Star Bucks Coffee, shopping at Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Lululemon, Vera Bradley and Kendra Scott.  Lunch at Olive Garden.  Grandpa was our Uber Driver.  We had a wonderful day with our girl.  

We drove to Lenexa to see Garrison's final basketball game of the summer season with his school classmates.  He had a good game, and they won.  We had fun watching with Peyton - Chad was coaching.  

Garrison wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting - so that is what I made him - in the shape of a pyramid.  He's a teenager!  he opened his gifts before we went to Texas Roadhouse for an early dinner.  Earlier in the day, we went to Peyton's cheerleader car wash so we could make a donation.

God is good - we are blessed.  

 

Mid-June through Mid-July 2024

We celebrated Amanda's 43rd birthday by taking her a white cake with white icing - her request - and taking her to dinner at Mi Ranchito.  Tom's son, Jomar, is growing and thriving but has to wear hearing aides now to help his hearing develop better.  

The Todds went on vacation to Mt. Rainier in Washington State where they went hiking and then to Seattle to attend a Mariner's game and go boating with one of Amanda's co-workers.  Bingo stayed with us for 10 days and was a good boy.  We enjoyed having him.  

We went to the hospitality room of Olde Glory Days for a couple of times to eat with the Siegers.  We watched the fireworks from Gary Cover's new home.  

We saw two of Garrison's surprise tournament games where he was a guest player.  They won second place and received a ring for his collection.  

The Todds bought a new pool table that converts to a ping pong table which is being enjoyed by the kids and their friends.  

Garrison had braces put on his teeth which he will wear for 18 months.  Peyton is babysitting about 10 hours a week this summer while also going to cheerleading practice.  

I am playing for church 3 times in July which I enjoy.  

God is good, we are blessed.
