Memaw’s Birthday

Happy 96th Birthday Memaw. We love you lots!

No! I want to be a princess

Ever since Nanny bought Grace a pink princess dress for her birthday, it’s all she wants to do. So for Easter, the bunny brought her more dress up clothes, jewelry and tiaras. She loves it! It’s hard to put her in shorts lately, because all I get is, “No Mommy, I want to look like a princess.” And a princess she is.

Going to see the Wild Animals

In June we took a trip to the Zoo with Ava and her family. Ava is Grace’s very best friend. They’ve been together since Grace was 2 months old, and they are borderline obsessed with one another. It’s the cutest thing.
All she talked about all morning was how she was going to see the wild animals with Ava. When we all got there, they ran and squealed and could not stop giggling. It was such a fun day and everyone was sweaty and pooped out by the time we got home.

Daddy's Birthday

Grace has an extraordinary memory when she chooses too, but I still usually wait until the last minute to tell her things. She’s still so small, that waiting for something exciting is almost painful. So on the way home from work and daycare on Jared’s birthday, we started talking about it. I asked her what she wanted to get Daddy for his birthday. She said a teddy bear. We made a quick pit stop and grabbed a teddy bear that she picked out. We had a long talk about how it was a surprise and we can not tell Daddy. The second he walked in the house, it went like this, “Daaaaaddddyyyy, we got you a teddy bear for your birthday!”
And I just hang my head, “Really Grace, really?”

Happy Easter

Holidays are becoming more fun every year. This year for Easter, we finally dyed eggs. She LOVED it, and managed to keep herself pretty clean. Though, we all had blue fingers for a couple days.

On Saturday we went to Granny and Papaw’s house and it was so warm she even got to go swimming. She loves to swim, and had a blast. Everything is more fun when she has an adoring audience who will do whatever she wants.

This year she had her first Easter egg hunt. Being her first one, the Easter bunny took it easy on her and had the eggs in plain sight. She was so excited, then she found out there was candy in the eggs! What! Some eggs had money in it, but she would toss those on the side, because really candy is her favorite form of currency.
