Happy Birthday America!


It has been a busy weekend around here. Saturday, Grace & I headed to GG's house for some pool fun. GG set up a pool just for Grace in the backyard. Before we swam we had lunch at a nearby cafe and when Grace was ready to go she grabbed GG's purse and said "let's go!" (see above photo)

Once we got back to GG's house we got our suits on and headed out. Grace loved swimming in a pool her size. I think she liked having all of the control and not having someone hold her. She had a ball swimming around.



Here is Grace in action in the pool. This video is partly for her our enjoyment because we love how she says things and will repeat us. It is pretty darn cute.


On Sunday, we headed to our friend Kenny & Brooke's house for a firework show and BBQ. Grace was sporting her festive dress and had lots of fun playing with other kids and eating chips - the child was pretty concerned about getting as many tortilla chips as possible. Even when the fireworks started, she stopped and checked them out, then turned to us and said I want more chips! The good news is she seemed to like the fireworks and didn't mind the loud noises.



Today was a pretty relaxing day around here. Brian had to work again so Grace & I hung out home and played and then Grace took a 3 hour nap - guess she was tired. We started the day with some bagels and cream cheese. I'm pretty sure Grace liked the cream cheese more than the bagels - it was all over her face.


After nap time we headed out for another BBQ at our friend Sarah & Cameron's home. Grace had fun playing with their son Colin and again eating chips - this time Doritos. We have a lot of healthy eating to make up for the two nights of chips for dinner.

This next picture cracks me up. I can only imagine she was saying in her head, mom seriously, enough with the camera!


But then she gave me her signature cheese move. Such a cutie.


Another fun weekend for all. We hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!
