COUSINS

A few weekends ago we had some visitors from San Francisco. Michael's brother, sis in law and our sweet niece Alia.
Grace and Alia had so much fun playing, swimming, eating, yelling, and chatting together.
We went to a few ASU volleyball games while they were here.
We loved having them come visit. We miss them already.

Ear Tubes

FINALLY! After having double ear infections for more then half her life Grace got ear tubes today.
She was playing "peek a boo" with her gown with the sweet nurses.
Once again I was more emotional than her. It is hard seeing them take your baby away. Good thing the procedure was short. She was under for less then 40 mins.
BYE BYE ear aches!! Please don't come back EVER!!!!!!!

I am ONE!

Yep! Grace turned one this week. I still can not believe it! We had a great but simple day.
We met up with some friends and cousins for lunch and cupcakes.


Dad was even able to go with us.

Opened a few new gifts at home from family.

We had a yummy dinner and then..................
The CAKE!

Grace was a little nervous with all of us looking at her. But eventually got into it.

ALL DONE! Grace we love you and we are so happy you are part of our family. You bring so much joy into our home. Thanks everyone for a great FIRST birthday!

Golden Birthday

This past weekend was my "GOLDEN" birthday! 28 on the 28th!

My mom and lil sis mere were in town since Amanda had here baby so it was extra special!

We went to my favorite pizza place and then had my FAVORITE cake!

Mere let Michael and I go out for a special breakfast that morning together. Soo nice!

After dinner it was amazing weather in AZ that night so we all sat on the curb and watched the kids fly kites. Perfect ending to a great birthday! I miss my mom and mere so much. Thanks everyone for a great day!
