CO2 Scare

We went to a wedding on Saturday. Grace looked really cute so I wanted to share the picture. She loves the hawaiian dress. Sunday morning we woke up to a CO2 alarm going off downstairs. So we called uncle Lon and then Grace and I spent some time at the store. The Gas company came out. It turns out we had a very small (not harmful amount of CO2) leaking from our furnace vent. We didn't know what it could have been because our furnace and water heater are both fairly new, but I guess sometimes there is just enough or a space that we were getting a little into the air. The gas man said it just built up and "stuck" to the sensor over time causing it to go off. We fixed it and are good to go-but we were very thankful we had the sensors even though when I put them up I thought, "we won't need these, but we have Grace now-so just in case".

Then adding to the CO2 with some extra smoke, Grace helped dad cook chicken on the charcoal. she is adding some spices here. It turned out very good.

Weekend Fun

We went to Outback for dinner on Friday night. Grace mostly liked the chocolate brownie. She started Saturday out right (I know the picture isn't the best but as soon as I took it, she dropped her Sesame Street Friends). Going potty first thing in the morning with her friends.

Grace and I went to the Library Open house that afternoon.

Grace had so much fun.

They had people reading books to the kids (see "jack sparrow" in the background reading a pirate book.)

The princess hat didn't last long before the stickers found their way to her face.

Aloha!

Sue just got back from Hawaii. She brought Grace this cute little dress. Grace loved it, thought it was pretty, and refused to take it off. It's blue because Grace loves Blue. I think it is so sweet of Sue. She looks so cute in it!She also brought here this pretty flower for her hair. Grace hanging out watching Dora-no care in the world. She cracks me up!

Sleeping Habits

Grace slept in her big girl bed all night last night. I was so proud!
Of course she cried and fought going to sleep so she had to "fall" to sleep in my bed.
Then she acted like a teenager when I tried to get her up in the morning, yelling, pulling the blanket over her head, telling me no, asking for her bed when I picked her up-you know that kind of thing. She really is such a joy and I love her so much!

We look forward to going many more times this year!

Beds and Hats

We got Grace a new bed. She is starting to grow out of her crib. She loved it!Although she decided not to sleep in it last night. She got up and played so we had to put her in her crib. Hopefully soon.

She looks so cute in this hat my mom made for her. She had to wear it today. She liked playing peek a boo.

New Buddy

Grace got a new buddy last night. She loves Sesame Street. She has been wanting Ernie for so long-so she got one. She was so excited to see all of her friends.

She just loves them sooo. Enrie came to school with us today. Of course they all sleep with her at night too. So fun!
