Dehydrating

I found this dehydrator for free the other day at a yard sale.  I cleaned it up (although it hadn't been used) and started dehydrating some food and jerky.  I have now realized if I dehydrate it, Grace will eat it.  She has killed everything we have made.  It is super delicious!

Teething Woes

Walker has decided that he is going to get all of his teeth at once. I can't believe this boy, but sure enough he has at least 5 teeth and maybe up to 9 coming in.  The top front four are so swollen all out the front and the other bottom front is also coming in. He is chewing in the back and it appears the molars are also starting to do something too.  This poor little man is waking up a lot in the middle of the night, he whimpers a lot, is super fussy and doesn't want to eat all because of these silly teeth. I can't believe how much pain he must be in.  I have never seen anything like it.  What a tough little man I have!




We tried Popsicles but I haven't been able to help much!

He is such a good sport.

Some randoms!

Sometimes I just look at this little girl and I can't believe she is mine.  After our concert the next morning she came walking out with her ticket still in hand.  Looking beautiful and I just felt so blessed!


 I had got her some legos to play with before the concert but she was worried about loosing them, so we did them today instead.  She was actually pretty good and helped put the pieces together.


Elessa had sent some fun things from Miles party that we missed, so the kids played some dress up. Grace liked it better than Walker. 




 We made our own sandwiches for lunch and it turned out pretty fun!



 Grace loves playing Barbies and Princesses more than anything in the world, however, usually I am this girl when I play-"Penelope" (Nelope).  But she is all of the princesses.  I laugh so hard, but we have a lot of fun!

Sports at home

 We have been playing some sports at home!  Grace loves playing and is actually pretty good.  She has pretty good timing on a jump shot.  We played for about an hour and she didn't even get bored!









 Grace will also be doing soccer this year so her and her daddy have been practicing!








 Walker is getting into Golf!






 And Art-he has built some pretty cool things which is totally new to him.  Our Garage is finally cleaned out and I am parking in there now.  The first day, Grace came out and said, "Why is there a car in our garage." and we realized it had been too long!

Jewel Concert

We went to the Jewel Concert the other night.  It was Walker's first concert and Grace loved it so much.  They both did so well.  Walker took some naps. 

 But Grace was into it the whole time.
 She loved dancing and everyone around us loved Grace!


Waiting for the show!










 A little pre show dancing!




 I so love these guys!
 I went by myself, however when I went to see her previously I went with My mom, Elessa, and Jamie. Nobody was able to come but somehow I knew my mom would be with me. I smiled when this lady with her guitar opened the show-named Lucy!
 Dad got to work the show so Grace would go say hello once in a while.  She even did a few cartwheels for him in the grass.



 Walker slept and was such a good baby!
 Such a beautiful venue!

 And Jewel was amazing. I had so much fun! We were pretty close too and could see her pretty well. Grace kept yelling out to her and couldn't figure out why we couldn't go meet her and why she wouldn't want to come and play at out house afterward.






 Playing with the little glowsticks we got.




 It was so much fun and I am so glad we got to go!



 She's still my favorite and has been since I was in high school.  love her music!
