3 months and counting...

Graciecakes turned 3 months old on the 7th! Man, it's amazing how quickly time flies. She is such a happy, easy baby now...now that we have an understanding! hahaha! It didn't take her too long to catch on that we wanted her on a routine. She definitely put up a fight...she's got some stubborn in her. But now we are all happy! She sleeps through the night from about 8pm to 7am. And she's just a doll on schedule during the days! My life has gotten really fun! She is all smiles...just eats up any attention she can get. She coos and giggles and as you saw on the video, is rolling over. We just bought her a bumbo (chair to aid in sitting up) and she loves that and feels so big sitting by herself! She loves it when Brooklyn and Kendall come up and play with her. She already thinks they pretty much rock! She's getting chunky...as all my sweet babies do! I just love the extra chin!! So, happy 3 months to my sweetheart!

Well...I'm a terrible mother!

Somehow, I have managed to delete the pictures of my girls' first day of school. I have no idea how it happened. I'm apparently still operating under my pregnant brain...or so that's the excuse I use whenever I do something completely stupid...like this! So, I will take more pics of the girls ready for school but they won't be the authentic "first" day! Oh, how could I have done this???

Gracie has rolled over!!

Little miss Graciecakes turned 3 months old on Monday and she rolled over twice on Thursday and once on Friday...I captured the one on Friday! Enjoy my sweet baby growing older in front of your eyes!

What was left of our summer...

Kendall's first haircut ever...at 3 yrs. Crazy long hair!!

A tribute to our gators!! 4th of July

Well, as you all know, we were "Graced" this summer and therefore, were left with little remaining summer vacation time. Here are just a few pics from our "little" summer!

Decorating the Tree

I video taped the girls doing some decorating. They are so darn cute. Can't get it to post, so check my Facebook. You'll notice Kendall's purple arm cast and they will both sing a Christmas song for you. Merry Christmas everyone!

Brooklyn's Preschool Graduation!

Well, she's done it. Brooklyn graduated preschool today! She had the cutest performance with her class. She even had a solo that I will upload for you all to see and hear! So cute! She was in her cap and gown and I could not help but see a slight forshadowing to her graduation in 12 years! It was so much fun to watch this milestone in her life...and no, I didn't cry, for goodness sakes, it's just preschool!! :O)

Brooklyn's Chuck E Cheese Party

Happy 5th Birthday Brooklyn!!!! I can't believe we have had her in our lives for 5 years now!!! What a joy and challange she is for us! We love her so much. We let her pick what kind of party she wanted (no more pool parties for her!!) and she didn't even hesitate...she wanted a Chuck E Cheese party! I'm really not a fan of CEC cause it stinks...the carpet is dirty...the food is gross...need I go on??!! But that's what the princess wanted so that's what she got! She had such a fun time playing all the games with her friends (notice Rick really getting into playing the games too...I cought him several times just playing games himself!!!) until....Chuck E Cheese showed up! Ofcourse, knowing Brooklyn...she wanted nothing to do with that overstuffed Cheese head!! Her uncle Steve had to stand with her just so we could get a picture with her friends and Chuck!! And the cake...oiy! She said she wanted me to make the cake...so I'm thinkin, Yes! make a homemade chocolate cake, put some sprinkles on it and call it done! Well, not for this princess...she wanted a Wall.E cake! Don't ask me why, she didn't even like the movie!! So, I've never made a decorated cake like that before...so I had to buy all the decorating things...the pan, the icing, and little Wall.E's to go on top! I think that cake cost at least as much as a Publix cake. Naturally we ran out of time and Rick and I literally ended up throwing that cake together 15 minutes before we had to leave for her party!!! Oh what fun! No really, it was!!! Her birthday lasted for like 4 days...her party was Saturday night, and her real birthday was Monday. So on Monday we went to Dinasour world (it was awesome) and that night we had our family party for her with our friends that couldn't make it to the CEC party! Then Tues...I made cupcakes for her class at school!! I swear, I was birthday'd out!!! Anyway...here are some pics of the blessed event! And thank you to everyone for the phone calls, messages and cards!!! We love you all and missed you very much at this party!!
