Another Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo again. Grace loves going and after school she asked me if we could go and see the elephants. So we went for a little while. She took a break from the "kitty" to sippy for a second. She cracks me up.

The Tigers were really close, it was a rare viewing and Grace thought it was super cool. Mommy and Pie!

Being Silly!

FUN Times

Grace is so funny. She loves playing with Grant from next door. He doesn't like to go down the slide unless he is holding someones hand, so Grace always holds his hand. She doesn't help him at all so I wonder what kind of support she is providing.

She also teaches him silly tricks, like going down backwards.

We went bowling with Miles and Pete the other day.

Leah was there too. They were really cute. Because they were the only ones there, the alley turned off the lights and played Music they all liked (including the shuffle)

Us being silly.

We came back and painted pumpkins that Art grew in our garden.

I ran to the wedding that night too where Josafat got married to Gaby.

Josh was cracking me up with his dancing.

Childrens Craniofacial Benefit Dinner 2011

In preparation to go to Lily's Dinner. Grace tried on a few pairs of shoes to get ready. We spoke for a minute and introduced Grace. I didn't get any pictures this year of her and all of the kids.

Grace took over the microphone for a minute (a little hard to see here)

She was so cute. The star of the show-as usual. It is an amazing event and we really had a great time.

Cousin Softball

We went to watch Carlie and Audrey play softball the other night. It was fun and they did a really good job.

Uncle Lon is one of the coaches. Grace cheered for him when he would pitch and of course couldn't wait to see him after. It was really fun and we will for sure go again-Go Orange Crush!

Odds and Ends

Grace has been really craving Daddy time. The other night when he got home from school, she cuddled up and wouldn't let him go. She made him lay by her while she went to sleep. It was so cute.
Grace also had her very first dentist appointment. Her teeth looked really good. The Dentist (Dr. Bailey) was really great with her and even gave her a blanket.
We played dance/dress up tonight. Amber gave her some dress up clothes for her birthday. She loves them and I love how she poses.

Re-Birthday Party

We did a make up birthday party for Grace. Where we played the freeze game. And spent time with our cousins. Miss Leah was so cute! She had so much fun dancing.

Grace rode with Miles in his jeep and loved seeing him. We played pin the tail on the donkey. Kolt was the closest girl and Violet was the closest Boy.We had a cookie monster pinata.And had lots of fun with family. Grandma Taylor and Uncle Mike.
Grandpa and Grandma Ellett, and Grandma Nina.Art, Mary, Papa, Pete, Amber, and Sarah were there too.
All the kids. Grace was so funny with the cupcakes (made by Amber). She touched them all, and then would take them to everyone (by their tops). When she would hand them over, she would put one last thumb right into the middle. Everyone was laughing. It was a really great day and I am so thankful to everyone that came-to Pete and Mike for letting us have it there and just for the wonderful family.
