Gracie's BIG GIRL BED! She is so excited...

Wendover Fun!

We got the chance to get away on Saturday night and hit the casino's! It was so nice to have some alone time with Max. It is funny because when we get to get away together without the kids it feels like when we were just first dating. I get all gitty, LOL. So anyways I made Max take a picture with me in our room and we had to do the timer and I thought our first one was funny because we are trying to run to our pose. We are dorks. We had so much fun though and went with one of Max's co-workers. Max and I both dont remember when the last time was that we laughed that hard. It was so much fun!

Not so great EASTER pictures :( NEVER A DULL MOMENT

Mama is telling Gracie to give her the cookie that is in her mouth!

Obviously mom wasn't planning on being in the pictures, not looking so hot at all.

Mom decides to smile since the camera is going off! Oh my heck these are cracking me up. We are such a mess, LOL.

So I take Gracie to get her pictures taken and yep another strike out. Just like the salt flats she cried and hated it. Mayci was with her and Mayci on the other hand smiled and pulled faces, we were cracking up. She was so cute! So I decided it is Gracie's age...that is all I can come up with. She just doesn't like it :( So I will post some of her pictures because they are kind of funny.

Scouts Blue & Gold Dinner, Disney on Ice and more!

Gracie LOVES LOVES LOVES her brother! He kind of likes her too.

Graice now has her own little reading corner where she can sit on her little couch with her stuffed animal friends and read all her books. Well turns out her favorite thing to do is when Daddy joins her on this tiny little couch for some before bed reading. They look so cute every night snuggled up together. Dad literally takes up the whole couch, LOL. Kelton at his Annual blue & gold dinner for scouts. This boy absolutely loves scouts. He did such an awesome job at their skit, singing a song, and getting a pin. We ate dinner and watched the boys do their thing. Sister didn't embarrass him too bad...well maybe a little when it was completely quiet expcept for his sis screaming in the hallway and everyone looking at us! Got to love having a lil sis!



Gracie Lynn and mama.
Disney on Ice was awesome. I am such a dork and hate to admit this but I seriously started crying when the show started because I was so over joyed at how happy and amazed Gracie was to see her disney friends in person. She couldn't believe they were really there. She kept waving at them telling them hi and bye when they would skate off. I was like oh my heck if I am crying at this I better pack me some tissues for Disneyland! Then my mom looked over and was like what are you crying for so I tell her, and yes, she starts crying too! Too much alike I tell you. So I am going to print the pictures of the characters and make her, her own little book to read about the first time she saw Minnie and the gang!

Gracie and her amazing Granna (Cindy). Gracie had so much fun and of course had to bring her Minnie to the show. The flounder hat came with the cotton candy and Gracie wouldn't take it off. She LOVED it. She better love it when it cost 10 dollars for cotton candy! I am kidding, kind of.

Gracie Lynn enjoying all her goodies!
Ariel was one of her favorites of course. Mom didn't figure out how to get good pictures until the finale. So this is the best one I got of Ariel and Eric.

Peter Pan!

Lovely Laprascopy

So I had a laprascopy surgery on Wednesday. The surgery itself went well. It was about 2 hours longer than the doctor anticipated because my endometriosis was so severe. The last few days have been horrible. I literally wasn't able to even walk until today. I hate not being able to cuddle Gracie and put her to bed or play with Kelton. Max has done an awesome job of taking care of me. The poor guy has to wait on me hand and foot and then do everything for the kids as well. Yesterday I was starting to think something was wrong because I wasn't feeling any better but worse. I mean Max has to completely carry me and put me in bed and help me get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I dont remember my last laprascopy being this bad at all. Heck my C-Section was a breeze compared to this. Maybe I am just being a wimp but it isn't fun. Luckily today I woke up and definitely felt better. I hate surgery...you forget how badly it takes you down. EEERRRGGHHH

As my doctor put it...after my oil change and lube I should be feeling better than before!

Gracie's Tea Party!

Gracie's 2nd Birthday party was so much fun. We had so many great friends over and all the girls looked so pretty. Gracie had a little tea party and to my surprise all the girls really did good and actually sat down and had their peanut butter and jelly heart sandwiches and muffins, along with their Tea (strawberry lemonade). Gracie thought it was so neat. She got so many great gifts and had lots of fun playing with her friends. Thank you to everyone who came...you made Gracie's Day!Beautiful Birthday Girl!

Gracie is just like her brother...for some reason when they are both this age they cry everytime they hear the birthday song! We seriously have no idea why, LOL.

Gracie with all her little girlfriends, opening her presents!

Having some Tea at her Tea Party!

Kesiah, Brenly, and Kaylee!

Gracie giving Madison a hug bye bye

Kaityln & Gracie

Gracie's Tea Pot Birthday cake, made with love by Aunt Hannah!

I was proud of my little centerpieces and table settings! So much fun!

Brother building Gracie's kitchen the night before. He was so proud that he helped and he really was a huge help to dad.

Life in the last month or so...

So I haven't posted in awhile. Mainly due to me being extra busy for some reason and also because I dont like to post without pictures and my computer is deciding to hate me right now and wont transfer my pictures! So I will just write a little recap but it isn't as much fun, LOL.

Kelton's Pinewood Derby: Kelton and Dad built their pinewood derby car. It turned out awesome! It was gold with a black stripe down the middle and we put his number on the sides. They worked so hard on this thing. I couldn't believe how much time goes into these things. They did ok, they definitely didn't win but they didn't completely lose either! It was all about them building something together anyways so I was proud of them!

Ice Fishing Date: So Max has taken up ice fishing this winter. He takes Kelton all the time and they have a blast. I love to go fishing with the boys in the summer when we are camping but I have never tried ice fishing. So Max really wanted me to go with him once and kept asking me. So we decided to do it and go just the two of us and make it kind of a date. It was nice being together but I swear anything and everything that could go wrong did. LOL Then after we finally get on the ice and get our holes dug, the tent up, and the poles in....yup I start throwing up and had the worst headache ever. The flu hit me 10 fold. So here I am out on a frozen lake trying not to barf and all my husband could keep saying was "I cant believe we aren't catching anything." So yes it was fun but I dont think I will be going back for awhile! I will call it my good wife deed for the year. Too bad I cant post the picture because I look aweful and it is kind of funny!

Valentines: The cutest thing about Valentines this year was Max getting a present for Gracie. He loves her with his whole heart and soul, she is his little sweatheart he says. So I didn't even know he got her a present and on Saturday morning he comes in with a present for her and she was so excited. He gave her a puppy dog stuffed animal with a heart hanging out of its mouth that Gracie wont let go of. Then he gave her a card that said "The things I like about you" when you open it, it started to play a song and was singing about the thing I like about you is the way you dance. Well dancing is totally Gracie and Daddy's thing so of course she started getting so excited and her and Max just danced and danced together to the card. I started crying of course! That made my whole day. Of course Max was a sweetheart and took me to the Cheesecake Factory and to a movie too. It was a fun day.

That is all from us from now. I will post more when I get the pictures going.
