Late May/June 2011

Lots of great time with family and friends these past few months!  In May, Grace and I went to Post Falls to see my side of the family.  We got to be there for her cousin Carter's 4th birthday!!  She had lots of fun with all the kids, and  really liked the bounce house and balloons!
What a Grandma's Girl! 
She started saying Grandma this trip, "Ma-Ma" and never let her out of her sight! 

She's getting so big... 
She learned to say her name last month. Grace Name Video 
Trying on Daddy's coat...
 
 ... and Mommy's make-up.
 Brushing Elmo's hair...
 ... and Rob's! Rob, Jen, and Abby came to visit in June - we had a great time!! 
Putting on sunglasses and hopping are also new skills!  (Video)
Of course, we love getting her to say her new words - over and over. 
"Strawberry" (Video) has been a favorite.

 We spent the day of my birthday going to breakfast and then just playing outside. 
Later, I got to go for a pedicure and we went out to dinner with the Cone's.  Was a really nice day! 
And I got the sweetest Happy Birthday wishes from my favorite girl (Video).
She loves being around other kids, and is going to daycare 1-2 days/week now. 
The first day, she came home saying "New Fweeeends!  New Toys!" over and over. 
They have outside playtime, do crafts, sing songs, dance, have snacks, and just have a great time.    

Our neighbor boys, Mark and Jack, are seven and she thinks they are pretty cool, too. 
She calls them both "Mar-Jah." - - Just one word!
She didn't want to come home on this day, but is always okay with it if they walk her home!
Mark & Jack also gave Grace their outgrown Cars bedsheets, comforter, and blanket. 
She still loves that movie and was packing around her new blanket all that day. 
Snuggled up with it to watch a show...

 Father's Day morning she gave her Daddy a new shirt to wear with his cool new red Converse shoes. 
Off to church on Father's Day morning.
Happy Father's Day to one amazing Dad!!!

First swim of the year was also that day!  She is loving the water.

  I found some old matchbox cars and she has been playing with them alot! 
And had to get a pic of her doing her funny "surprised" face.  :)

She loves the new rocking horse Grandpa Tom made her, and calls it "Papa Neigh."

It has become her favorite place to sit and watch her favorite shows,
which this week is "Charlotte's Web."

Now that the weather is definitely hot, we are logging lots of pool time!
