Gracin's birthday

For Gracin's5th birthday, we had a backyard party.  It included kiddie pool, water bombs, sprinklers, water tables, bubbles and lots of fun!  These are all the things Gracin loves to do, so i figured eh would like the party... Nope.  He spent the first 30 min inside crying because all he wanted to do was play with a balloon inside.  It took him a while to warm up to the idea of hanging out with his friends.  Once he did, he had a great time.  So glad this sweet boy is in our family. 

At age five he likes: Skylanders, flashlights, dinosaurs, jumping on tramp, sprinklers, preschool, primary, helping in the kitchen, watching TV, playing with his sisters, reading (he can read all 40 kinder sight words plus the extra 100 site word list and I'm sure 100 more words.)  He reads the scriptures with us and takes his turn with usually no help.  He is very kind and sweet especially to Hazel.  He loves to give hugs and kisses (we are working on only kissing mom and dad rule) He loves to play with is cousin Jude and make new friends.

 He hates swimming, chores, vegetables, sitting still, trying new things, being woken up, and when I have to "count" for him to obey.
