Over Labor Day Weekend we had a celebration & called it our "Gracie's Blessing/New House Open House/Labor Day Celebration!" So creative, I know ;) Ha ha
It was a wonderful weekend with our families. We went to the beach, had Gracie's blessing & dinner & went to Bloomington Lake to name a few. Thanks to all who came and helped out. Here are some pics of the things we did...
Pig Roastin' Time!My cousin Brodee & Uncle Travis roasted a pig in the ground for Gracie's blessing dinner. The night before we (me, Brent, my mom, Brian & Jaimee) stayed up and watched them work their magic! It was quite the process; interesting and awesome! At one point the fire marshal stopped by! Fun memories made for sure.
On Labor Day we headed up to Bloomington Lake. It was fun to eat lunch, hike & swing on the rope swing together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gavin started Joy School two days a week and loves it… mostly. Once in a while we have those days when he says he doesn’t want to go, but by the time I pick him up he doesn’t want to come home.
Love this face...
Gavin & Spencer...
Gav, "Oh man, I just love you my cousin!" Spence, "Whatever Dude".
What's that quote? I think it goes: "Boys don't get older. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Our baby girl is 6 months old. What!?! She is our little stinker and we sure love her. Here are the stats from her 6 month check-up...
Weight: 15 lbs 10.5 oz = 50%tile
Height: 25 3/4 in = 55%tile
Head Measurement = 75%tile
Some things I want to remember about Gracie at this age:- is SO close to crawling and I'm trying to hold her back as long as I can! She scoots and rolls all over the place so I know it won't be long :(
- If we are all talking she squeals and wants to join in our conversation
- loves her daddy! I know this by how excited she gets when he enters the room
- doing well eating solid food (but surprisingly likes the veggies more than the fruit! This can't be my child!)
- loves music & bounces along to the beat
- enjoys being outside. Sometimes it's the only thing that will calm her down.
Check out the video at the very end of this post. It's of her jumping in it like she does with her head a boppin' and a huge grin! So dang cute!We've been bribing Gavin for a while now that if he eats his food maybe he'll be big enough to ride some rides at Lagoon. We also said if he was good and did what we asked him we would take him there. So we made good on our promise.

Gavin & Grandma Joni...
Oh ride attendant, you had to go and put him in a Ford!?!
My cute Gavin...
The kiddos & I on the ferris wheel. Check out Gracie's chunky monkey legs! Love it! (Yes, I'm wearing a turtle neck. It's a lot colder in Bear Lake... I'm all prepared for Fall!)
Brent & Gavin coming off the Hydro Luge...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Brent has been working hard getting the yard done. The skid-steer has come in handy lately! He got all of our trees planted, the gravel parking area done & the sod is almost all in. Hooray! I feel very spoiled.
This is a picture Brent was taking to show the yard before he did the gravel & sod out front, so it's not the best of the house but it gives you a good idea...
My hot husband laying sod...
The house all lit up at night...

So cute! Love that she loves the bouncer! I miss that thing, wish it could be used here, but thanks for letting us use the other one :)
The horse pic of spence and gav is hilarious I super LOVE it!
And I can't believe Gracie likes her veggies better than the fruit! I'm dealing w/the exact same thing w/James - how funny! He loves all the veggies except green beans, not a fan - but he's not a fan of the fruit either, so crazy that they are so alike in that, so loving that too :)
