Fun in the Sun, June Style

The month was full of fun around the house, at the pool, with friends, and some relaxing.

One place she will ask to visit almost every day is the pet store. I was glad we got this photo of the super shopper before they got rid of the tiny carts. Her love of pets also extends to our attempt to play the game Life, she always wants her career to be the be the vet.

Gracie sure does love to try to ride a bike and is big into safety. Now shirts can be questionable when she rides the bike in the back yard.

This summer was full of all different fun in the sun with water. Bapa bought Gracie a pool for the backyard with room to move and toys to play with. There were some bugs in the yard that she worked really hard to scare away. She loves to get dirty while enjoying bugs or making friends with a worm. There were many trips to the pool playing with noodles and having picnics. The Streets of Southglenn fountains continue to be such a big hit that we have to keep towels, toys, and clothes in the back of the car for quick trips. When we weren't in the fountains we were able to enjoy the play sets they had for the summer.

Here are some photos from her friend Brayden's birthday party with Abigail.

Daddy and Papa also rode in the MS150 this year to support our family and friends. They sure like to ride bikes for a great cause. Their private cheerleader.

While at Murdoch's we saw some fun boots that didn't fit. Luckily I found a killer deal online for purple John Deere cowgirl boots. These boots are always a topic of conversation since everyone loves them, especially Gracie.

 

May Mayhem

May did have a little mayhem including the MS walk, building a garden, Mommy's work trip to Mexico with Auntie Shawna, Gracie enjoying some markers, Dora backpack, and the farm.

To begin the month we supported Uncle Brian and Beth by walking in the MS walk. Gracie walked and rode in the wagon around while Mommy actually ran part of it. It is just amazing so see the support for so many people.

Could they be any cuter together? Green is for the Moneybags team supporting Brian.

Family Fun!

Gracie having some fun as we started talking about taking a backpack to preschool in the fall. Luckily she wore clothes with the backpack at school.

Gracie sure did have fun while mommy was getting ready. Thank goodness for washable markers!

As a family project we built a garden for some fresh veggies. Daddy helped dig up the grass, Bapa cut and got the wood, and mommy helped to fill the dirt and put the final screws in place.

Gracie got additional visits with family too this month. A trip over to see Papa J at his VA home and Uncle Joe and Aunt Joyce from Ohio. Gracie loved Uncle Joe's stories that don't match the book's words at all.

While celebrating Mommy's reward trip for work, which Auntie Shawna got to enjoy too, Mommy was thinking about Gracie.

Looking good and ready to celebrate at an amazing resort. Sadly it's an adult only resort.
