Happy Anniversary Gramma Esther and Grampa Jeff!

We celebrated Gramma and Grampa's 40th anniversary at McCormick & Schmick's today. It was a special day and we enjoyed being with our cousins. We always have such a great time when we all get together. Happy Anniversary, Gramma and Grampa! We love you very, very much.

Gracie's 1st day of preschool

Gracie had her 1st day of school on Tuesday. She was a little bit shy but didn't cry at all. When Mommy went to pick her up after school was over, she was sitting in the teacher's lap having a ball. Gracie has 2 very important accessories with her in this picture: her Hello Kitty backpack and lunchbox. She must not leave for school without them!

A visit to Colorado

Mommy took a trip by herself to go and see her friend Rex who now lives in Colorado. They had a wonderful visit and did some fun sightseeing in Estes Park. In Rocky Mountain National Park:
And then at the top of the Rocky Mountain National Park:
It was really chilly up there! Mommy wasn't quite prepared for the cooler temperatures way up high.
Thanks, Mike and Rex for a wonderful weekend!

Walking with Daddy

On the first day of school, Daddy was able to go to work a little bit late so he could walk to school with all of us. It was a special morning.

The First Day of School!

The first day of school was a smashing success. Both the boys did very well and were very excited about going to school this year. Gracie was happy to be part of the action as well.

Alex and the big fish

Alex caught a big fish on Saturday. He was very proud of it and named him "Sucks" because he sucks so much water through his gills.

A birthday bash at the lake

Adam had a 2nd birthday celebration with our good friends Ben and Paige on Saturday.

TMNT

Beware of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

Presents, presents and more presents!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Our little Rooty Toot Tootie is 5 years old! He had a great day to celebrate his birthday.

Fun at the circus

We had great fun at the circus with our friends Aurelia and Arabella. The highlight of the evening was when Adam and Ms. Tiffany were tinkled on by one of the tigers - eewwwww! Adam and Ms. Tiffany were both really good sports about it though! Gracie's favorites were the elephants and Adam loved the horses. Alex liked the daredevils.

All the gang

Mommy and Ms. Tina have been friends since high school. It's always fun getting together with her and her boys.

Alex & Eric

We were able to see our good friends from Tyler. Alex and Eric have been buddies since they were babies. Now they are both 7!

Rock climbing

Daddy took the boys to "Aggie Night" at the Dell Diamond on Friday. They were able to get to the game early and do lots of fun stuff before hand. One of the biggest hits was climbing the rock wall. Here is Adam:

And here is Alex:

Maggie Moos

We took a tour of a local ice cream shop with our MOMS C lub. The ice cream was delicious and we enjoyed seeing how they make the ice cream with all of the different flavors. Yum, yum!

Daddy and his girl

Gracie was staying close to Daddy, especially in Alligator Alley. She definitely didn't want to fall in with all those gators!
