Activities in May


Here are some things that have gone on this month.  I am not sure why blogging has been harder for me since we've moved here.  I figure I better get some things documented before I really fall off of the planet after this baby comes.
 I caught Gracie playing "rocket" after she came home from Preschool with this cute space outfit.
 Gracie in her school's "Three Piggy Opera."  Her teacher said this class had the best singers that she can remember.  They did sound good especially for being 4 and 5 year olds.
 A very good friend of T's and his adorable family came to visit us overnight.  They have four lovely girls that match up pretty well in age to our girls.  Lainey and her family came over and we all had a BBQ, it was a great time.
 Gracie got to go to Papa Johns Pizza for a field trip.  They got to make their own pizzas, a fun time for all.
 Letty took some pictures while we had the young men over for a BBQ.  I think there was 30 something boys here and leaders.  They seemed to have a good time.
 Dad got to go and play soccer against Letty during the last practice.
 Last game.  They like to give out trophies here.  I don't  think it is necessary to get a trophy for participating especially after every season, that gets to be a lot of trophies.  The kids love them of course, I'm not a huge fan.

Now these trophies are cool!

Gracie takes to two wheels

Gracie is now on two wheels.  After only a couple of teaching sessions, and much relief to T's back Gracie is off!  She is a proud little girl.

Christmas Wrap Up!

Seeing as it's March and I'm just posting this, I'm not going to go into great detail.  Christmas was great!  Full of family, fun, and a wedding.  Here is a collage to represent.

Gracie turns 5!!

Our birthday girl enjoyed a fun trip to build a bear with her sister and mom.  She named her new bear "huggles"






Our sweet girl is getting so big.  Some favorites right now are the colors pink and yellow.  She loves Berenstain Bear books and Fancy Nancy.  She loves dressing up and wearing jewelry and lip stick.  She is in tumbling and dance.  She likes to quote movies.  She continues to  say some words she picked up in England which makes my heart sing.  Words like cross for mad and prays to have a lovely day.  She has a very tender heart and cares a lot for others.  We love our Gracie she makes us laugh and smile.  Life would not be complete without her.  Here's to a wonderful year!

A birthday and a trip

I have to back track just slightly to November to make sure and share this little ones 2nd birthday.  Lyssie is a quite the girl full of spunk and check.  She keeps us all on our toes. We love her dearly! We were blessed to spend her birthday with family in California.  It was a great visit and full of things to be thankful for.





I was lucky enough to catch up with one of my dearest friends while visiting for Thanksgiving.

Phoenix

I've gotten behind on blogging...we are here in Phoenix now and the weather has cooled off! It actually feels like fall.  Its been a busy couple of months.  We jumped right into school and activities; thanks to Lainey for giving us a head start.  We enjoyed staying with T's sister and family for a month prior to moving into our place.  They were very gracious hosts and hopefully were fond of that time :)   We are in our house now and pretty much settled minus a few piles, organizing projects, curtains, and hanging things up.  We've had a visit from T's sister recently returned from a mission, it was a great time seeing her.  We celebrated Isaac's 6th birthday with traditional cookie making.  Every year I'm astonished at how the time passes.  He has blessed our lives in countless ways.

Halloween came and went.  The stomach flu came and went and here we are into November already...yikes.
