Primary Children's

I took Grace in for her eeg this morning because of her seizsure. She was so scared. How sad!

Halloween!

Halloween was fun with Trunk or Treating and trick or treating to a few small homes around the neighborhood. I took Grace to the Trunk or Treat and Robert took her around to do the trick or treating. Her highlight was handing candy out to the trick or treaters later that night.

Halloween Eve

It's Halloween Eve and Grace was gussied up today in her witch costume (she wouldn't wear the hat) at the doctors office for her 2 year check-up and at Mommy's work where pumpin carving contests, costume contests, halloween parades and trunk or treat took place. I work for an amazing company.

Halloween is Coming!

We not only stopped by the portrait studio for some quick snap shots of Grace at 2, but also for some spooky Halloween pics. Pictures at the age of 2 are near impossible but we grabbed a few ourselves.

Daddy & Grace at Work

Brenda, here's that other dress that is so adorable.

Thanks for sending all of those clothes out for Grace!

Brenda

Here's that outfit that I was talking about.

Thanks for sending all of the clothes out!

Grace was hard to tear away from her keyboard and cartoons this morning. I thought I'd never get her out of the house for work

Grace and I had a sweet tooth tonight. Ho Ho's anybody?

Grace's Big Day! The big 2

It's all about Grace today. From doing what she wanted to do (sit in her favorite hangout-refrigerator)

to party time and opening mommy and daddy's birthday gift with Pappy to witness all the fun

October 3-Birthday Party

Grace just turned 2! Here she sits opening Uncle OJ's gift and auntie Ree Ree's gifts.

Also, my lame attempt at making her first Halloween birthday cake. My mom used to make the coolest, how did she do it? It's supposed to be a witch but it looks more like a spider...lol

Gussied up for Grandma

Grace was all gussied up
to see Grandma Helen

Morning cartoons were
one of Grace's highlights.
She loved having her own
personal DVD player. She
watches Veggie Tales and
says, "want tales"

While we were taking pictures
of the stage coach they were just
as fascinated and taking pictures
of Sha Sha's pink truck


Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Driggs, Idaho and the biggest

spud you have ever seen!

Jackson Hole & Swan Valley

Jackson Hole & Swan Valley

We went to Jackson Hole and Swan Valley for Labor Day weekend and the landscape was beautiful! The views were absolutely amazing. The rivers were full and moving rapid, the hunters were also out so there wasn't much for siting wildlife on this trip. Occasionally we'll run into a moose, elk or deer but this trip was full of squirrels and chipmunks.

August 2009

Finally an update. I've been so busy with Convention here and so sick with the new baby that pictures right now are a rarety. Here's one of Grace in August

The Ducks and geese gathered

Wow...you start feeding them and all of them gather

Duck Park

Grace and Da Da Feeding the ducks. Grace has a very mild case of the chicken pox and has been quarantined to the house mainly but we had to let her out in a secluded park that's rarely used so she could get some vitamin D and keep her sanity. Poor thing.

This was a pretty cool goose we saw when we were feeding the ducks

Lagoon...It's What Fun Is!

We took Matajia & Miyah with us to our company Lagoon Day. Grace had so much fun with them.

Bathtime with Cousins

The girls had fun together in Covina. Lexie, Grace & Chloe played day and night on our 3 day visit to California

Ready for the Day

Grace was excited and ready for a new day of playing at daycare.

Life is a Highway

Look at these 2 chickees riding along. Does it remind you of thelma and Louise?

Chuck E Cheese Strikes Again!

Ok, so I'm not sure whether it's been too much stimulation for Grace lately, but she's very reserved at Chuck E Cheese's right now and her friend Samantha just has a ball. Maybe she's the type that enjoys quietly. Only time will tell.

Where a Kid Can Be a Kid

Another play date for Grace and Samantha and they seemed to like it. It's funny to watch their personalities. Samantha was adventurous and daring and Grace was laid back and fearful of new adventure.

Cinco de Mayo!

Let's just say pictures were rather hard with Grace this morning. She had her own idea of what she wanted to spend her time doing. I'll try again tonight. Auntie Brenda sent this dress out and since Grace is of Mexican heritage we had to make sure she represented. I think she looks adorable!

Cinco de Mayo
This Mexican holiday celebrates the victory of 4,000 Mexican soldiers against 8,000 French forces on the morning of May 5, 1862. A common misconception is that Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's Independence Day. That day is in fact September 16th.

The battle of Cinco de Mayo took place at the town of Puebla, 100 miles east of Mexico City. According to Viva Cinco de Mayo, the French army attacked Mexico City, assuming that the Mexican army would surrender if their capital city was taken

Chick-fil-A Strikes Again!

Grace & Samantha have started to have playdates once a week. I like the Chick-fil-A playground because it's super friendly for their young ages. Tonight Samantha was a non-fearing dare devil that rode the slide like there was no tomorrow. Grace, on the other hand, played it safe on level ground. She still won't go down the slide. One of these days!

Chick-fil-A

Mommy, Daddy & Grace went to Chick-fil-A for Grace's chance at freedom over the weekend. Needless to say she had a lot of fun! No, Daddy did not play on the equipment!

Car Ride

Car ride to the home show. Grace and Mommy were picking up Subway for Daddy and Uncle Keene Buddy!
