Grace loves Kneip Chip Dip

While we were at mom's house helping her recover from shoulder surgery I made her favorite Kneip Chip Dip. Grace saw Brian & I snacking on it and decided to try it out. She LOVED it and as with most dips the chip was just a vessel to get the dip in her mouth and never really ate the chips. Luckily for GG Grace left her some to have later.

And finally on this football Sunday, Grace is getting very good at saying GO BEARS!

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

A couple of weeks ago when my mom was still in the hospital for her shoulder surgery, Grace & I headed outside to try and capture some photos for our holiday card this year. Grace had tons of fun chasing me and I even managed to get a few good photos. Here are some of the out-takes - even though many of them are fun and cute. I'll post our card in a few weeks.

Conversations with Grace

I thought I would post two conversations with Grace lately that we found pretty funny/cute.

The other night in the car on the way to bring Brian some dinner at his work Grace asked for her song - she loves the Black Eyed Peas song "I gotta feeling." So we are car dancing and in the song it says "I got my money!" Here is how the conversation went after that.

Me: Grace, you have your money?

Grace: YEAH!

Me: Really, where is it?

Grace: In my pocket.

Me: Who gave you money?

Grace: Daddy

Me: How much do you have?

Grace: 3

Me: What are you going to buy with your money?

Grace: Milk and bananas.

Me: Oh that's great.

Grace: And cheese sticks.

I thought it was so cute - at least she didn't say toys or candy and now you know her favorite food of late.

Then this morning while we were finishing getting ready I told Grace it was time to find her shoes. She looks at me and runs down the hall and says: MAMA I wear my boobs today. I wear boobs today.

Boobs=boots. So flipping funny.

It is amazing the things she says lately. There is a never a dull moment with little Gracie.

Halloween 2011

Grace loved Halloween this year. We first decorated our pumpkins with stickers on Saturday. She had a great time putting as many as she could on them. It was funny to see how focused she was while decorating. 

On Halloween we headed to see our friends Sarah, Cameron & Colin to go trick-or-treating. Grace thought trick-or-treating was super fun. Every time we got done with a house she would say one more mama! We had a great time and Grace loved putting candy into her pumpkin pail Nana sent her and loved eating the candy! I let the little stinker hold a box of nerds on the way home - soon I heard her eating them and when I got her out of her seat they were little pink nerds everywhere! I saw them again today and it just made me laugh. She loved her candy.

Our little cupcake had a grand time this year. Looking forward to many years to come!
