Beach Trip





We recently went to San Diego with some of our good friends, stayed in a beach house, and went to Sea World. The kids has so much fun! Thank heavens for modern technology! The DVD player saved me during the 6 hours there and back!

Turning 6





For Gracies 6th birthday she really wanted to have a water party. So, we borrowed Grandma and Grandpa's huge blow up slide and set up a slip-n-slide and the kids had a blast. It was a lot of fun! She invited more kids this year than in years before. So in our little house things got a little loud, but all that matters is that at the end of the day Gracie said, "This was the best day ever! My perfect day!" It made sweating it out for an hour worth it!

1st grade



Gracie started the first grade last Wed. This time I didnt cry, but I do miss her. She's growing up. It's fun, but sad. She likes her class and new school. It's funny the difference a year makes. Last year I picked out her clothes and did her hair how I wanted to. This year she picked out her clothes and was very specific about her hair.

Grandmas House




Last week while my friend Kalene did my hair my mom watched my kids, and they got in the kiddy pool with Grandma. I am so lucky to have her nearby to help me out, and she does a lot! They both love going to Grandma's house. Grant is so funny! He calls both my mom and dad "Grandma". My dad, the other Grandma, recently built a huge fort for all the grandkids to play on. They have a blast over there.

Father's Day












This fathers day I made Kent a little book with pictures of the kids doing all the things he can be seen doing. Gracie had fun dressing up in daddy's clothes, but Grant hated it and was crying almost the whole time. It's a miracle I got a few pictures with him smiling.
