Nursery

Can you believe it? I cant... Grace had her first day of nursery today at church. In our church kids 18months-3 years of age go to a class called nursery for a few hours.
We have the cutest, sweetest teachers in our nursery. Only about 5 other kids. I ended up staying in there the whole time since Grace was NOT to excited about me LEAVING..... She knew something was up and that she was going to be left alone without me. We will try again NEXT week.

Valentines Day

We had such a fun valentines day. Grace and I just hung out all day went to a music makers valentines party with cousins, had special valentines lunch, and decorated the table for dads valentines dinner that evening.

Here is the table, we cut out hearts and wrote things we love about him...
Yummy treats... Sweet Lola
cant even look up for a picture, to busy gathering treats..
Here is the WORLDS GREATEST VALENTINE! Found this picture and just LOVE it. He spoiled me rotten on Valentines, take out, chocolate covered strawberries, and flowers. Love this man to pieces. I am one lucky lady to have him as my valentine forever and ever. I dont know what I did to deserve him. Hope everyone had a good heart day! xoxo

Trip to the ZOO

This last week we met up with my sister and her kids and headed to the zoo for a fun morning.

Another exciting adventure to the phx zoo. Ohh how we love you!

Off to the Races

A few weekends ago my little sister Meredith's best friend Katie was in town for barrel racing competitions. We were lucky enough to go watch her race and chat for awhile.

She gave the the grand tour and we were able to see all of the horses before the show began.

Here we all are waiting for Katies horse to come out. Cousin Lola was telling Grace ANOTHER story.... hehehe She has lots to tell!

Here is our KATIE! She did an awesome job. She was the CUTEST cowgirl out there. We love you Katie and thank you for making time to see us and show us a little bit of your world.

We hope to be able to see more races in the future. Grace just LOVED it as we all did.
