BINGO

Grace loves our regular music time. She's getting really good at remembering most of the words to songs. This one is her favorite.

Summer

Summer is here! Grace has finally overcome her fear of water. Bathing isn't always the funnest for her, but she likes swimming in pools and running through the sprinklers and mostly she likes just hanging out in her swimsuit.

Water Falls

Collin left us alone for a weekend to go boating with his dad. To keep us busy we went hiking around some local waterfalls. There are several caves around the falls and this picture shows Grace in the one crack she dared to explore.
She insisted on taking some of the pictures while we were there.

And then she posed beautifully for others.

Spring Has Sprung

A highlight for Gracer this Spring has been to see all the new born Lambs. This pen had the bum lambs from her Grandpa's sheep herd and she actually got to feed one! I heard about it for weeks afterwards.

This is Grace's "Nona". We made a quick trip out to the ranch with Dinner and a Cake to help Celebrate Nona's Happy Birthday.

Grace can't wait for Daddy to come home so the two of them can work outside. Here they are planting apple seeds (that still haven't sprouted).

Grace's favorite outside chore is watering the garden. She usually wastes no time pulling off her shoes and socks so she can dabble in the river. Now we just have to help her realize that dirt is yucky.

Birthday Girl

Gracer is getting quite silly in her old age. This is a video from her Birthday dinner. She still sings all the time, and dinner with a full mouth is no exception.

The animal she says in "Old McDonald" is a dog. It's a joke that we pretend not to understand, that's why she chuckles.

The Big 2

Gracer turned TWO!!! She's now a Big Girl. Here are some highlights from the celebrations. . .

She woke up to a brand new "car". (I have no idea how to flip it, I'm open to a tutorial from a pro-blogger)

After a morning of playing at the park with friends, riding her new bike, and making cupcakes Gracer was exhausted.

For dinner Grace requested Hot Dogs, Guacamole, and Tato Eggy Salad. You can tell by her expression that she Loved the meal.

For her cake she wanted a Chocolate Worm cake. I had a blast complying to her wishes. Despite her expression here, she loved the worms.

A Brother for Gracer

This is Grace in her "Row, Row, Row her boat". She climbed in and called for me to take her picture. Luckily in August Grace will have someone besides her parents to play with as she is going to be a Big Sister.

The doctor confirmed today that we are having a BOY. The poor tyke will probably have to wear a lot of pink for the first year of his life since that's all I have, but he'll get over it.
