Duck Crazy


I think Grace secretly wishes she was a duck. We have a family of ducks in our neighborhood and they're very friendly. One of our neighbors actually has them eating straight out of his hand. We've recently been feeding them too, but not out of our hands. I'm still to nervous, since they get so excited. I don't want them getting too wild and trying to take one of Grace's finger with them when they go. Oakley and Itchy start barking, of course, as they make their way onto the porch to let us know they're here. That's right they come right up to the porch and wait. Grace gets so excited and runs around the house screaming. She runs to the nearest parent for shoes and then she's out the door. She definitely more interested in talking to them than actually feeding them. She squats and walks towards them quacking. Well it actually sounds more like, aah, aah, aah, aah. But really it's the cutest.

My, "Mr. Fix-It"


A while back the lawnmower broke. My Dad came over and he and Jared worked on it and got fixed it up. The very next weekend while I was giving Grace a bath I could hear Jared cutting the front. I kept hearing him turn the mower on, turn it off, and back on again. After I put Grace to bed I found Jared in the backyard staring at the mower. I guess he was willing it to work. Finally it just died and wouldn't start again. He had to push the beast back to the garage. He ordered a new carburetor and picked up a new battery. The next weekend he set to work and conquered the beast. I was so proud.



And what did Grace do while Daddy fixed the mower?
Well she had a snack and went for a walk.

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.
