Marshmellow's, Pickles and Cheetos....Oh My!

Well, let me start off my saying sorry for how long it has been since I posted last. I just went through all my pictures and there are so many I made a slide show for you!

Park City with my Mom was fun, but Gracie was just too small to want to shop all day so next year Luke agreed he would watch her so the girls could go play.

Gracie has been trying all sorts of new foods even though there is no sign of a tooth yet and she is so cute. Lemon's and Lime's don't seem to bother her at all, she loves them! She is growing up faster than ever in so many ways. I realize just how big she is now when I see a newborn baby. Where has the time gone?

Mother's Day was extra special this year since I am finally a Mom. Luke got me a flip video camera and so I can now post videos of Gracie. I know, just what you all were hoping for lol! He also got me a big, beautiful bouquet of flowers and the 27 Dresses DVD. I am so spoiled. We got to spend Mother's Day with my cute Mom who is the best Mom ever! I love you Mom!

My newest addiction is mob wars on Facebook. It has been so addicting and I have met so many new people on there and so many old friends from high school. It's kinda fun to see all the different roads we have all taken in life since high school.

As for my diet.... still working hard at it and haven't lost a pound. I haven't gained either so I guess that is a plus. The dogs sure do give me a workout on our walks. I will have to have Luke take a picture of me walking the five dogs on leashes and Gracie in her stroller. I am sure it is quite the sight, but we have fun and it is great exercise for me.

I had the opportunity to go back to work for a few days last week and it was soooo great catching up with everyone and the doctors too, well some of them at least lol... I feel fortunate to have a job that lets me come back every now and then, but for the most part be able to stay home and be a Mom!

Luke and I went and put a beautiful bouquet of flowers on his Mom's grave for Memorial day. The cemetery is so beautiful this time of year. I wish it was that way year round. There are so many graves that never get flowers which makes me sad, but I am sure those family members of the deceased live far away or there would be flowers there too.

The main road that takes us to Logan is closing for construction on Monday so we get to make our trip to Logan an extra half hour by driving through Sardine Canyon which I am not looking forward to, but Gracie sure loves the car and she LOVES her new car seat. I had to put a picture of her in the slide show in her new car seat. She just loves it!

I added the pictures of Gracie loving my bubble gum...hope you enjoy!

Cucumber Thief & Lotsa Pics!

Happy May! Can you believe it is already May? The older I get the faster time flies right on by me. Gracie is growing and changing so much on a daily basis. I take so many pictures of her and I am fortunate enough to be able to stay home with her full time and that still isn't enough time with her! She is so cute. Her newest fascination is with me chewing bubble gum. I will blow this big bubble while she is sitting in front of me and she tries to grab it with both hands, so I pull her hands down and she just leans in and sucks on the other end of the bubble. It is so cute and so funny. These little angels have such clever minds at such a young age.

When she is done eating, I pull the bib halfway off of her head and she makes the funniest faces. I think she looks like the flying nun!

I have so many pictures to show everyone...here is Gracie in her new stroller getting bundled up because it was cold outside, and the next day it was nice and warm go figure!

My cute Mom came out last week and watched Gracie while Luke was in Indiana so I could go and walk Peanut and the hounds and she brought me these beautiful flowers! Nothing brightens my day like flowers! And my favorite color too!

Gracie loves her jumperoo. She bounces nonstop all day. When you are holding her, she starts to bounce in your arms. Maybe she should be a kangaroo for halloween this year!

The dogs sure do love Miss Gracie and love to lay right next to her!

In this picture, Gracie fell asleep while she was trying to crawl, so Sadie decided to curl up on Gracie's blanket.

Gracie loves to be a part of everything, so if I am in the kitchen cooking, I just put her in her chair and she is so content, even if it is with my diet root beer bottle! The other night I chopped up a cucumber and must have set it to close to her, because when I turned around, she was eating them!

The other night I was taking a picture of Millie and the camera has a slight delay and during that delay Millie sneezed and this is what the camera took a picture of. So cute!

A few weeks ago we were at Grandma's and Gracie needed some cooler jammies than the ones we had brought over, so she got put in some boy jammies, and she makes quite a cute boy too!

Here are a few misc. pics:

The other night, Luke took Gracie out on the deck and I snapped this shot which I absolutely love. This little girl loves her daddy soooo much!

Pictures are better than words, so I hope everyone loves the pictures as much as I do and that everyone has a super week! Gracie has to have her finger pricked Monday for an anemia screening which I am dreading, but then off to Park City later in the week with my cute Mom! We are going to go for 3 days and shop until we drop! Wahoo!
