Monkey Business

Okay our second Halloween was so much fun. Gray was all about going to houses and getting candy. A few times she lingered so long the people let her dig in and get her own candy. I told Zac I bet she is gonna try to get the monkey suit out again and go get more candy! We kept taking the candy out of her bag and she would look in it like hey this was heavier a second ago. She is our little monkey!! I wish everyone lived closer on days like these!
Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.
Enjoy!

Some new pics...

Maddie's 1st birthday!

Playing ball...

Just a few pics for everyone. Gracie is feeling better now. Hopefully, she will just keep getting better and better. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Enjoy!

Sept. 14

Gracie is feeling much better. We found out Tuesday that she had a UTI and a bladder infection. So, she is on antibiotics and seems to be doing much better.

Hope this week has been good to everyone. I know I am personally glad that it is Friday and the weekend is almost here! Love you all! I promise to post some more pics soon.

No comments on how the movie clips were liked. Come on I know you all loved them!lol!

Dancing queen

I am really wanting this movie clip to upload properly. Gray has been quite the dancer lately and I have so many clips on my computer but am having lots of problems uploading them. If this goes through I will try a few more. Keep your fingers crossed.

Labor Day fun with family!

Just some pics of Gracyn and her cousin Maddy! Maddy will be one this month! We were soo excited to see her this weekend. We went to the aquarium, the beach and Fort Macon. Lots of fun for one weekend!
Gracie is doing great. Talking up a storm in her own language. She used her potty for the first time on Friday, very exciting day for Mommy and Daddy. Hoping the training continues to go well. Wish us luck. Enjoy the pics and enjoy your Labor Day!

Coloring fun!

Yes, Gracie's new past time is coloring. This new found love was helped along by her GiGi who came out and spent a week with her. And what an exciting week. GiGi and Grace spend alot of alone time together because Zac and I had to work alot, but I don't think GiGi minded one bit.
Gracie is definitely getting alot better at talking, she can say a few more words just since last week(again thanks to GiGi).
Okay, just wanted to share some pics. Do ya'll think I should be worried about Gracie and her obsession with the phone? I mean when you wake up from sleeping just to grab the phone open it up start talking and then fall back asleep is that the warning signs of addiction????lol. Enjoy!




Hello? Who is there? Don't you kow I am trying to sleep???lol.

A Whirlwind Ride called Gracyn

She is just too much sometimes. Straight out of the bed and already full of fun. The other morning I was folding some laundry while she was still asleep, I went into another room came back and she had decided to "dress" herself. She had several shirts on one arm, 2 pairs of my underwear up around her waist and the biggest grin I have ever seen!
She is getting good at telling us what she does and does not want. Not to many actual words but lots of hand gestures and head nods. I wish you all lived alittle closer and could share the fun this little girl brings to everyone she is around.
Yesterday we went shopping for a bathroom rug and she pulled the ones she liked onto the store's floor and then got on her knees and laid down on them rubbing her cheeks on the rugs. She found the one she thought was the best and the crazy thing was that out of the kabillion rugs she pulled down the one she picked was the softest! How great is that! Okay, enjoy the pics!

Jumping jack flash

What a week! Gracie learned how to jump this week. It is her favorite thing to do. She can get about 2 or so inches off the floor.
She is at that age where she is in to everything. If she gets quiet you know to go look for her and see what she has found. She still loves her books and has gotten quite fond of "Cleaning" the house. We bought her a vaccuum today. Too bad for me that it doesn't really work:-).
I've included a pic of my two nieces. Savannah can already smile and roll over and Maddy is crawling and pretty close to walking. Time sure does fly by huh? Enjoy the pics.

Flashback...

Just a fun flashback of Gracie the one on the right is Gracie 1 year ago today and the one on the left is from this weekend.

1 Year ago she wasn't crawling and had 0 teeth. Now she is running and jumping with 16 teeth.

Where does the time go?

Don't ya just wanna squeeze her? Love you all!

Lots of fun in short weekends...

Wow! Weekends are just too short! We sure are trying to make the most out of each weekend but they are just too short.

We have been hanging around the house and spending lots of time with our little girl. Gracie is growing up so fast we just want to ever minute we can with her.

She is learning so many words now it is hard to keep up with her. She loves to read. She still isn't too interested in t.v. so that is good for now.

We were successful in getting rid of the pacifier and now we a thinking on how to start the potty training. I have been looking up potties on the internet and there are just so many!

Okay on to the pics. Hope you enjoy them!

July 4th

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share some pics from our July 4th. Pop pop Mike turned 51 today. We took him out to Captain Charlie's to eat and then we stayed down town Swansboro to enjoy the fireworks. It was a great show!
To all ya'll wondering how Miss Gracie is doing, she is getting better. For those who don't know she had an inner ear infection, upper respiratory infection and possible eye infection. All from triggered from her allergies. But the meds are working great and she is getting back to her old happy self.
I think she has been so sick she forgot about the 4 teeth coming through. We have been almost 3 weeks with a pacifier! Yay!
Last weekend we went home to see baby Madison and baby Savannah. Can you believe I did not take one pic? I sure didn't I was too busy loving on those two babies. I really hate they are so far away.
Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. Guess it is back to the daily grind for the remainder of the week.
Love you all and Enjoy the pics!

July 4th

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.
