Gracie at the playground






I think it's safe to say that Gracie loves to slide! She's not too fond of the swings yet but if she can climb it or slide it then she's all in! She showed no fear as she came down the tunnel slide head first the very first time on it. She loved crawling through the tunnels as well as trying to climb "up" the slide from the bottom. She also enjoyed the bouncy car!

Back from Ohio





We are finally back from our big trip to Nana and PaPa's house in Ohio. Gracie had a blast playing with Dally...or should I say torturing Dally! LOL They enjoyed playing on the slide and taking toys from each other! Gracie loved watching Cassie and Dally feeding the horses and even fed some carrots to Cobra herself! The weather was actually good this trip so Scott and PaPa got in a few rounds of golf. Gracie is still asking about Dally, Nana, and PaPa but only a few short weeks til we see them all at the beach!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy friends and family! Hope everyone had a wonderful day. I apologize for the lack of pictures on my blog. The power adapter to my camera charger has been misplaced and my camera is now dead. I have found what I need at Best Buy, now getting there to buy it is another story! I promise to soon have new pics to post. Gracie and I will be heading for Ohio to see Nana and Papa, Casey,Cassie & Dally this week. Scott plans on driving up to pick us up Memorial Day weekend. Gracie will have a blast playing with cousin Dally and there is rumor that a new toy in the form of a slide awaiting at Nana's house also! I'm reading a really good book right by Christian author Michael Phillips called Angels Watching Over Me. It's about two 15 year old girls in the Civil War era, one is a plantation owner's daughter and the other a slave's daughter. They become friends when they are forced to survive alone together. Very easy read and very good!! I highly recommend it.

T.G.I.F.!!

Thank Goodness It's Friday!!
We had a fairly good week. On Tuesday I decided to take Gracie to "Toddler Time" at the library. It did not go well! She was the youngest in the class with the other kids being much closer to 3 years old. She clearly does not have the attention span that they have! We decided it was best to leave after she threw one shoe at the teacher and the other at another child, and then proceeded to run squealing with delight out into the library. I think we will work slowly into how to act in the library before we try story time again!
We have had some crazy weather this week with temps in the 40s earlier and now in the 70s. I think my tomato and pepper plants may have felt the brunt of the cold weather. They are looking a little withered now. I think I will wait until after Mother's Day to put out my squash and zuchini!
