High Heels

I heard her coming from down the hallway while I was working on the computer. I grabbed my point and shoot camera and turned it on as quickly as I could to capture this.

P.Y.T

Grace has really been singing and dancing a lot lately, so I thought I would show her American Idol tonight. She had not been feeling well (you can hear the cough in the video) but she loved the singing. After sitting on the couch watching her dance and ask us to rewind it about 6 times, I finally got up and got the camera.
By the way, that is the shirt that she REFUSES to take off. I have to wash it and put it right back on her.

The Park

These photos were taken while we were walking home from the neighborhood park. Grace was exhausted and was yawning while she was walking. She wanted to walk and refused to ride in the stroller- although I offered it several times. She carried a little white bucket of sand from the playground home with her. She had a bit of a meltdown when we got home and I wouldn't let her bring it into the house. We settled on the back patio.





















Toddler Bed





It might be a bit early, so it appears I may be going back in a crib! Here are photos of my new toddler bed. I change my baby dolls diapers on my new big girl bed. Isn't that sweet??



































My Favorite Christmas Toy!

My Grandpa who lives in Indiana sent me this rocking horse for Christmas. It came to the door in the biggest box I have ever seen! The rocking horse used to be my mom's when she was a little girl. They don't make toys like this anymore!! It was hands-down my favorite Christmas present this year. I ride my horse every single day. It has not moved from the living room since Christmas morning. Here is a video of my very first horse ride!

Thank You Grandpa!
Love, Grace.

Grace Meets Mr. Bubble

My mom was dropping off a prescription at the store (from the "California" cold) and while we were waiting for it to be filled she bought several items she didn't really need. One of those items was Mr. Bubble- which made some great new photos for my first official bubble bath.
























My BFF

I wish my BFF Ryen lived closer to me. We have lots of fun when we are together- especially jumping on beds. We both got webcams for Christmas so now we can talk all the time! Can't wait to see you again Ryen!
















Amy & Greg (Sedona)

My sister came out to visit for the holidays. Amy, Greg, Owen and I all went to Sedona for the day. My mom watched baby Grace - so it was a nice day long vacation! Since I just got my new camera- I HAD to take some photos of them. We visited Talaquepaque and even hiked up to a "vortex". Greg really felt the vortex. We also went to visit "our" chapel in Sedona! It was fun to see it again... enjoy the pics.







California 2008

We visitied Charlie, Kristy, Ryen and Regan for New Year's in California. Here are some family photos that I took of them while we were there! We are very sorry that we left Gracie's cold in CA! We hope you guys feel better soon!











Sunday Morning

Grace has two things she loves.
1. Putting her paci in upside down. Its her preferred method.
2. Smelling the ears of Bella, her bunny rabbit. I think they smell so good because her Nana secretly sprinkles baby powder on them when no one is looking! This photos captures it perfectly.

Christmas 2008



Here is a video of the visit with Santa:

16 Month "Fairy Princess" Photo Session

I think these are my favorite photo taken of her to date. I love them.
They were taken at an old Mexican restaurant by our wedding photographer.








Using My "Fork"

This video is not the best example of how I use my fork (I am MUCH better at it with different foods) but this clip does show how I am trying to say words and "talk" back to mommy and daddy.

Party Girl

Here are some pictues of me on my way to Cooper's Birthday Party!
