My new Friends from Colorado

Yesterday was a totally awesome day. First we went to a cool art festival down the street. There were so many pretty things there. Mommy and daddy got me an apron for when I am drawing on my marker board. It is really neat. After that, we went to go test drive a new car, but mommy and daddy really did not like it all that much. I really liked it, but they said something about no leg room in the back. I don't really understand what that means, but I still like it.

After we got home, mommy's friends from Colorado came all the way over to our house to visit. They have two boys, Robbie and Danny and I thought they were very cool. We played outside for a long time and it was fun. I like kicking the ball around and chasing the lizards (but don't ask me to actually touch one.) They were very nice and dun to play with. Both of them run really fast and don't seem to be scared of anything. They even got me and Abby a present from Disney World.

Today, I went to a birthday party for Nicholas. It was at the park and I had a great time. I had cake and candy and got to play on the slides. This was Nicholas' first birthday party and all the kids had a good time (there was a ton of kids!!).

After the party I took a much needed nap before heading out again to look at cars. I am not sure what is going on, but it looks like we are going to be getting a minivan before too long. I like them because they are really big and have a tv. Mommy and daddy keep going on about leg room and storage and fuel economy, of which none makes any sense. All I know is it is pretty and looks like it goes really fast. Life is a highway, I want to ride it, all night long.

Okay, I have had a pretty action packed weekend and I have to get my rest. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I will make sure that daddy gets more of Abby on here.

goodnight,

Gracie


Look mom, I can do a split

Okay boys, which one of you thinks you can get this from me?

Not sure what just happened, but I think it was funny

Ahhh, quite refreshing.... a girl hard at play demands the best in sippy cups.

This is my friend Danny, he got me a present and I loved it a whole bunch... Thank you Danny

That is my mommy and Abby next to my mommy's friend Pam. She is very nice.

I am going to get you

Abby is looking at the boys wondering why boys are so weird.

Okay, that is it... everybody left and I have to go inside now. I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Thank you Granny

So I get this package the other day and I was very excited because it was from my Granny. It was sooooo cool cause it had all kinds of glamour clothes in them. You can see from the pictures that I am showing off the skirts and shoes and magic wands. I also got some earings and princess crowns. I love them so much. thank you Granny


And I even got them on the right feet.

My first pair of earings

Alakazam, alakazoo and bibity bobity boo!!

See my necklace

Us girls being sisters

This is a good hair day

Abby trying to steal the spotlight... actually ain't she adorable.

Okay trucks, I called this meeting to discuss something very important.... I am turning you into a hybrid fleet.

Abby is 8 weeks old

Abby is 8 weeks old now, but in a week she will be two months old.

I don't want you to think that we have not been taking pictures over these last couple months I have not been on the blog, we have. Unfortunately I can not describe how busy we have been. I have been going to school every day except for Saturday and Sundays and by the time I get home I am so busy getting ready for dinner and my bath or shower. Depends on the day which one is my favorite. Anyway, now that Abby is in the picture (and a beautiful picture it is) we seem to be all over the place until it is bedtime. So I have not been on the computer much lately to update you.

Things are so much more busy with a baby in the house. Abby is still very little and likes to have mommy and daddy hold her ALL THE TIME!!! I think she is playing them, but she she has a convincing cry that makes all of us stop what we are doing to try to get it to stop. So far, the last couple days have been better than the first 6 weeks. For those six weeks, she would cry all the time and nothing seemed to make her happy. Even when I would hold her and kiss her, she would cry. But now, she really only gets upset when she is hungry or tired. I think it is because mommy and daddy started to let her sleep in her own room. Since she has moved into her room she is sleeping all night. Even last night she slept for almost 11 hours straight. I loved it.

What else... okay mommy and daddy just need to get rid of the swing cause Abby wants nothing to do with it. It is sure to get her to cry if they even get close to it. As for the bouncer... well that is a bit better. Abby is starting to get more tummy time and is trying hard to figure her legs out. I think I was walking when I was two months old so I don't know why she is taking her time.

I am doing good. I am really working hard on my sentences. I pretty much can say a full sentence getting all the parts right, for the most part. I love to sing and my favorite song is Twinkle Twinkle. I also like to sing Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts. Colors are old school and it is pretty hard to stump me. Numbers and counting are my new task. I can count to ten sometimes, but I am not sure if I really know what I am doing.

I am working really hard to learn my manners and am starting to get the whole yes ma'am no sir thing. Sometimes I surprise my mommy and daddy by saying withough being prompted. I also say thank you and your welcome, but again I like a reminder every now and then. As for dinner time, well I am as messy as ever, but before each meal I like to pray so leave me alone about the mess dad.

I am good about brushing my teeth and like to have a water before bed, if not for the hydration but the chance to dunk it in the sink.

I am not quite there as far as potty training, but give me a few more months and I think that will change. Don't count me out yet.

Okay.. well, mommy just got home so I need to get to bed. Oh, speaking of mommy... she is just wonderful. If it wasn't for her, who knows how messed up I would be.

Goodnight.
Gracie (and Abigail, buut she can't talk yet)



In my favorite place

My sister, Abigail, is not sure what is going on.

But I am an old hand at this!! Abby, watch what I do

First you have to look really dainty

And be a good helper..like me when I hold you for mommy

Yeah... now you are getting the idea

Okay, that is taking it way to far.....

What, you think this is easy??

Alright, Alright... you are taking up too much of the spotlight!!

Okay.. that is better... back to me.
