Grace is SIX MONTHS OLD and Debra had her BABYSHOWER

Well yesterday Grace turned six months old and it was also the day that we had Debra's baby shower. Her and Doug are getting ready to welcome there baby boy into the world. We were so lucky to be able to add Debra to our family back in September now we are getting ready to welcome their first child! I am so excited for them both and I know Grace will be happy to have a cousin so close to her in age.
Here is Debra giving Grace a bottle and seeing what she is going to loving doing soon!
Debra got TONS of great gifts!
Yes, I will post pictures of their new baby boy once he is born! Oct 1 But until then we wish them the best and look forward to seeing the cute little guy!

GROSS!

I just thought I should share what I woke up to one morning...


Lets just say he is no longer with us and I am SO SICK of waking up to them in the house. They are big and ugly! I am glad I have not found them in Grace's room.

Family photo!

I have been trying for awhile to get us in to get a family picture done but with all the wedding planning we have not had time. So I finally got a friend to take a picture when we were out on the 4th! I really am glad I got a picture!

See I told you it was CUTE!!! Now look at the difference since the last one we had taken........

Now a reminder it was six months ago... Sorry I am not looking at the camera I was a little out of it.....

June Girls Party

For the birthday's on Chris's side of the family they have a party once a month which is when the women and the kids get together and celebrate the birthday they had that month. This past party for for Jared who turned 4 and Connor who turned 2. ( sorry Leah no longer a baby! )
This is the fist one that I have been to that was outside and it was great to sit out in the sun and talk. We had GREAT weather that day , thank goodness!

This is Grace starting to work her way into being welcomed at the kids table. I know they would love to have her there now she is just not ready yet. Dont' worry it will not be long.
She had a blast playing in that with the new things to touch and see all around her. Plus then I got to eat and talk without holding her the whole time.

I wish the weather was always this nice so ALL the parties could be outside!

First Trip to the ZOO!!!

Grace had her first trip to the zoo a few days ago with her cousins Emily, Jared, and Connor. Leah and I decided to be daring and take the kids to the zoo after going to the mall. Honestly it went GREAT! Grace slept off and on at the zoo. Her favorite part I think was looking at the fish. I was not able to get a picture of her but you will have to trust me the eyes bugged out.
I told you she didn't see much of it... But she was a great traveler that day...
She did wake up for her food and to make sure the kids were still there. She loves watching them!
Don't look at me and notice we are sitting down in the shade having a bottle... She is watching everything and everyone around us....
You can not see Grace but she is doing the same thing the rest of them are! I think they were wore out but don't tell them so were Leah and myself! I think I need to get in better shape before she starts running around or I will never be able to keep up with her.

Happy Birthday Grandma Linda

For those of you who don't know my mother had a big party this weekend. It was a surprise party that we had worked on for months. When the big day came we were ready and it was great.

This is a picture board that Grandma Jackie made to show all the changes she has gone through over the years! Wish you could see the one in the upper right corner cause we look like sisters!!

Look at the Birthday Girl now..... She is all dressed and ready to go golfing! ( Adam told her she was going golfing that is how we got her to her party!)

Presents time, soon Grace will be up there helping and I can just help Grace help Grandma Linda!

Don't worry she got to have cake! But she did not blow all the candles out... OPPS

Here is her with Grandma Pat.... SO CUTE!!!

Then here are just some that I had to add!!!
