July 4th Festivities

The weekend of July 4th we headed over to Granny and Papaws house to celebrate Papaws Birthday with them and Memaw. We ate lots of junk and wore ourselves out. It was so much fun. We went swimming, blew bubbles, colored, and had lots of chocolate cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Memaw

Memaw is her real name. Promise. I named her, so I know. However, she occasionally goes by Elenora, which is where Grace Elenor comes from. So a few weeks ago, we took a trip to visit Memaw for her birthday. She's 94! Memaw gave Grace rides around the house and everyone had a great time. Grace also had lots of fun throwing things on the floor and managing to break toys that have been around since I was little. Sorry Aunt Laura, she's to rough for her own good.
We love you Memaw!

Happy Father's Day

Well Father's Day was a month ago, but better late than never, right? It was a fun day. We did a little shopping in the morning but mostly hung around the house and enjoyed each other. Grace and I made photo collages for Father's Day gifts. We ended up printing both in black and white. I love the way they turned out.



Grace wanted Mommy's help to make an extra special gift for her Dad. So I found a super cute book at the bookstore and created this:

I found the book and pasted the photos over the existing photos. All the wording was already there. I even ended up covering all the pages with contact paper since I'm well aware of the way Grace plays with her books.
