Grace 1 year, 1-2 months

Grace 1 year, 1-2 months



Grace is the only one I could get to pose for a Charly Bear picture this month and I was also behind a month on getting the picture.
She is as happy and busy as ever!
Climbs up and down the stairs and will find you wherever you may be in the house.
She does not like wearing bows, even if her hair is in her eyes.
She looks like a little girl.
Is in 2T clothes.
Eats a lot, but really likes bread and has become a little more picky.
Carries her water around almost everywhere. 
She has no trouble telling you what she wants.
She has started throwing some fits...laying on the ground and scooting backwards.
Loves to go on walks. Will sit in her stroller after dinner, so we can all go on a walk.
Loves to go outside. Will walk right out the backdoor when it is open.
Loves to climb on chairs and sit down. 
Likes to hold glow sticks or her water when she goes to bed.
Still sleeps great.
Got her new shoes and if she doesn't have them on she will go get them, sit down in front of you and grunt for you to put them on her feet.
She likes to go "vroom" with the boys cars.
Will say "Momma" or "Mommy" when looking for me.
She has a strong attachment for Mommy!
We love our sweet girl!


Hubby and Wife Trip (July 2016): Indianapolis, Indianan and Louisville, Kentucky

Hubby and Wife Trip (July 2016): Indianapolis, Indianan and Louisville, Kentucky

We took a fun trip to Indianapolis and Louisville mid-July while Nanny and Bubba took care of the kids. Jay planned the entire trip and we had a wonderful time! In Indianapolis we did a segway tour of the city, visited the Civil War Tower, the Capital building, went to a fancy dinner, and then to a comedy show. On the way to Louisville we stopped at the Indianapolis 500 museum, then went on an underground zip-lining cave tour. We also visited the Louisville Slugger Museum, did a bourbon tour at Evan Williams, and then went to the Churchill Downs Museum. 



John's 4 Year Party and Grace's 1 Year Party

Party Time

We had a joint party for John and Grace. John wanted a sports theme party with all the sports. We did a "Little Miss Sunshine" party for Grace. We had lots of family join in the fun! We love celebrating our kiddos and thankful for the family that was able to join in on the party. We did small sandwiches, chips, fruit, and cupcakes. The kids all had a wonderful time!
