We are getting good at these lazy weekends..






We are really loving having these lazy weekends. We have learned the value of family time!
We got tired of chasing Gracie(she was going over to the neighbors to jump on their trampoline). So, we went and bought her a small trampoline with safety net. She now stays in her own yard(yay). She is so funny, she is really interested in this whole jumping thing so even when she is out of the trampoline she tries to jump. She will stand on anything and try to "jump" off it. She is still in daycare and doing fine. If we can just keep her from being sick all the time it will be great. She is still on her allergy meds and that seems to be helping out alot. She is a little pro at pointing at most of her body parts. And her new animal is a "caow"-that's a cow to those who haven't do not speak fluent toddler(lol). So, we now have dog, cat(drags this one out with her tongue out) and cow. She also is really good at telling herself no when she is doing something she knows she shouldn't be doing. You just hear her saying,"No, No No No." How can you not laugh? This parenting stuff is hard! And I am gonna get whoever showed her how to twist apart an Oreo and lick the cream out and cast the cookie aside! I will be observing everyone to find the one responsible for all the poor Oreo that are being wasted because I can't convince her that the cookie is just as good as the cream! Enoy the pics!

Summertime is here!






well today was officially our first day at the beach. We were up at 8 ready to go, little miss had here hat on and was waiting for us at the door. The beach was peacefull this morning with only a few people out there, so we got plenty of water time and sand time.
Gracie made some sand castles and sand animals. She also learned that its funny to watch mom and dad run as she throws sand at them. She also learned not to eat sand!
When she was ready to go she just got up and started walking towards the steps, we had to hussle to get her before she left us.
Hope every one is enjoying the beautiful weather we are having, I know that Gracyn is.

Had to share these.





Gracie's aunt Dana showed Gracie how to take a rose petal and rub it on her face. So, Gracie had this poor rose petal and was rubbing it all over her. The petal eventually just broke apart but it was so fun watching her. She was trying hard to get the same feeling from that petal that Dana had got when she lightly brushed it on Gracie's face. Of course when Gracie was doing it herself the touch was not light. It was too cute not to share.

Gracie's first wedding!






This weekend we went to Statesville NC to see Gracie's aunt Mandy get married. What a nice wedding! It was great weather and a nice ceremony. Gracie did well. She was so interested in all the new people she didn't want to leave her daddy's lap. But once the ceremony was over she was in high gear running around. She has now met all her aunts and uncles and cousins. Hopefully, Dana and Mandy will have their families in Myrtle Beach to visit soon and we can go and spend some more time with them all. Hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy!
Congrats to the newlyweds!
