Riding the Chopper

Aidan's Grandpa has a really cool chopper bicycle. I had lots of fun riding it with Aidan and Adam.

5 friends

The other day we had Aidan, Madison and Marshall over to play. It was wild and crazy at our house for a few hours. We always enjoy having our friends over though.

Cabinet Fairy

Ever wonder how things grow legs and disappear into thin air? Well, we've finally figured out that we have a cabinet fairy at our house. Her name is Gracie and she loves to empty out the cabinets at least once every day. Sometimes tupperware lids show up under Gracie's bed - so that's where it went. Hmmmm - wonder what else is missing that we don't know about???

Just the girls

Adam and Tyler - good buddies!

There was a fun party at Tyler's house on Sunday. Unfortunately, Gracie and I were sick so only Adam got to go. He had a good time with Tyler and even brought some cake home for me and Gracie!

Grandma and Grandpa D

We are so lucky to have our Grandmas and Grandpas living close to us. They are always able to come visit and be a part of our special celebrations. We love you!

Lots of kids!

The Nestea Plunge

Goin' on a boat ride

Here we are with Uncle Buzz and Tyler ready to go on the motor boat. "Please don't go too fast, Daddy."

Alex's Big Catch

I was the first one to catch a fish. It was a pretty big catfish and I was so excited and proud to show everyone. This was my first catch - ever!

Gone Fishin'

We enjoyed fishing at Gramma and Grampa's house. Here we are with Tyler and our fishing poles.

Last soccer game of the season

I had my last soccer game on Saturday. It was lots of fun. I'm a little sad that soccer is over but I'm looking forward to a new season in the Fall.

Field Day at Cactus Ranch

WE had our field day today and boy was it fun. We got to do all kinds of fun outdoor activities including a giant water slide, tricycle racing, moonbouncers, a fun run and many more. Here I am waiting in line to do down the giant slide.

Healthy Baby Girl

Gracie had her 1 year well checkup. She is 21lbs, 4oz which is in the 50th-75th percentile and she is 31 inches tall which is in the 95th percentile. She says a few words including Mama, Dada, Nana, Pa(Grandpa), and Buh(Belle, Brother). She is almost walking and has taken a few steps on her own but is still very unsteady. She has 4 teeth on the top and 2 on the bottom. Her doctor says she is just perfect but of course, we already knew that!

Happy Birthday Baby!

What a difference a year makes. Here are some pictures of Gracie at 2 days old, 6 months old, and today on her 1st birthday. How quickly the year has gone by. Gracie has brought so much joy to our lives. We love you Baby Girl!

Adam and Aidan

Here is Adam with his good friend from across the street, Aidan. They were enjoying Gracie's new birthday present.

A first birthday party for Gracie!!!

Here is the beautiful banner that Ms. Tiffany made for Gracie's birthday party. We had lots of company, lots of food and lots of fun.

It's all about the cake!

Compared to her big brothers, Gracie was very neat and tidy with her cake. It sure was yummy!
