Gracie's big day

Well Gracie decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. I wasn't really sure if she would go through with it because I can clearly remember as a little girl chickening out a few times but she definitely proved me wrong. I let her pick out her earrings and she chose some sparkly flowers. They sure have upgraded starter earrings since my time. She was very brave and barely flinched. Since we have gotten home she has been looking in the mirror constantly. She is so excited.
Picking them out..............

I want these........

Getting ready, she looked a little nervous at this point but I really believe I was more nervous than she was.

So happy.......

I wanted to make it a special time for Gracie so my friend Julie watched the other kids. She has three of her own so she was having fun with 5 kids. Somehow she managed to take a few pictures of mine. She is so talented....check them out on her blog:

Thanks again Julie!

Downey Park

We went to Downey Park splash pad a few weeks ago with our friends. Rylie kept telling me she was having fun. Gracie kept going under the bucket that dumps water on your head. I am not sure why anyone would like that. Christopher is still not sure about splash pads but he still had fun running around the outside. It is weird to me I am taking my kids places I remember going as a kid although that was before splash pads, we could only swim in the lake (Yuck!)

Dance, dance, dance

What started out as this....

Has now become this...............

The girls had their recital this weekend. They both did great and of course they loved that they got to wear makeup!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all those Dads and Grandpas out there. Here's what we did for Chris :)

Swim Lessons

Christopher has been going to survival swim lessons for almost 2 weeks. He is doing great! Today he had to go in his clothes. I can't imagine how good he will be in another 4 weeks. Push the little arrow to see.

Graduation

Well Gracie is officially done with preschool. Not sure where the time went but before you know it I know I will be blogging about her first day of Kindergarten.

Man these 3 year olds were really singing!

It's hard to believe this time next year we will be having Rylie's graduation.
