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!

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!

Pinecrest

We had a wonderful time in Pinecrest this year. We ended up going the same time as my brother Peter, sis in law Katie and darling niece Brea.

Thanks mom and dad for such a great vacation. Pinecrest will always have a special place in our heart. This year was so neat to experience it all over again with our little one. Many more summers to come!

Sonoma Wedding

My Cousin Megan was married on July 10th. Her wedding was BEAUTIFUL! I am so happy for her. Here are a few pictures of the big day.

July 4th

We spent the fourth of July in San Diego with the Marquardt Gang. We had such a blast!

Michael and Josh on the beach.

The official Marquardt brothers whiffle ball game on the sand.

Grace and her cousin Alia are three days apart. They had sooo much fun exploring the beach together.
Michael was very excited to take Grace to the beach for her very first time.

Bomb fire in the backyard.

All in all we had a wonderful time with great weather. It was fun to all be together.
