Family Fun

After Megan's shower this afternoon we got some updated family pictures. One is of all the grand kids and great-grand kids, with the exception of my cousin Jason, who wasn't here today. Also, my cousin Leah was in town from DC and she wanted one with her and her two red headed "mini-me's". So, the picture is of her, my niece Kylie, and Gracie. Also, a couple pictures of Gracie swinging for the first time! She loved it!!

Megan's Baby Shower

Today we had Megan's family baby shower at Mom and Dads house. It was a fun afternoon filled with fun and laughter. After the shower we all hung out as the kids played, and then went out for dinner as a family.

Mommy's Birthday

Last Saturday night (9/20) John and the girls took me for an early birthday dinner. We had a great evening together as a family. The next day on my birthday we went to church and then went over to my parents for a birthday lunch and celebration. Here are a couple pictures from the day.

Gracie pulling herself up

Just this weekend Gracie has figured out how to pull herself up on things. She is so proud of herself when she does it!

Church BBQ

Well, we were off to the annual church BBQ tonight. It was just the girls and I because John pulled a 14 hour day on graveyard shift last night and didnt get home until 12pm today. I got a couple cute pictures of Gracie with Auntie Megan!!

Maddy's First Day of Kindergarten

Here is Maddy all ready for school. She was so excited! She is going to have a very fun year in Mrs. Rosie's class.

Mommy and her Girls

A Day at the Beach

Today the girls and I went to the beach. It was Gracie's first time getting her toes in the sand. It was really the funniest thing I think I have ever seen her do. She was a little reluctant at first when I set her down. But after I got her shoes and sock off she kept running her fingers through the sand and smiling and then actually started squealing. It was so cute. Maddy had a good time too looking for sea shells and "treasures" as she likes to call them.
