Happy Birthday Daddy!!

"I like Cousin Stella"

Cousin Stella!!!

Christmas

We had a great time in northern CA for Christmas. Grace loved spending time with her Grammy, Uncle John and Aunt Lindsay. She especially loved the quality time with her three favorite cats.

Sweet Gracie

We have been having some pretty warm days down here. Grace enjoys playing at the park, and has begun her winter soccer training sessions.

Trick-or-Treat

Grace was a fairy for Halloween, minus the wings. She had them on for 3 seconds and told me between screams: "Mommy, hurt me!" Grace was in awe that she could knock on our neighbor's doors and say "trick-or-treat" ,and they would simply hand her candy. I think she will be trying this every day from now on.

We are also enjoying potty training at its finest...not really.

October birthdays

There are three kids in our ward with October birthdays, so we had a little cosume party/ birthday party for all three. Our family was an hour late to the 2 hour party because Grace refused to put ANY clothes on, let alone her costume. She had a good time once we were there, especially during the part when the pinata broke, and candy fell from the sky.

Party Time!

Party Time!

Grace had a great time at her Birthday party last night. All day long Tyler and I kept telling her it was her Birthday Party Day and she would reply sternly: "No! Baby Brother!" She did a great job trying to blow out her Nemo candle, and with a little help she did. Grace was also thrilled to have her cousin Jocelyn there to run in circles with.

Bath Time

Sea World

Grace really enjoyed our last trip to Sea World. Here she is at the Shamu show, holding a star fish and looking at the huge sea turtles with Daddy. The entire drive home (hour and 15 minutes) Grace told us over and over how "Shamu splashes wa wa". It was a fun day.

It's a boy!
