Time with Cousins!

Grace, Eli, and I stayed over night at Aunt Kim & Uncle Chad's house while Dave was gone for confirmation retreat! We had lots of fun spending time with them! Here are some pictures from our time with them...

Bike ride! - Carson ready to go!

Relaxed and ready to go too! :)

Cousins!

Reading stories before bedtime! :)

Grass!

After a few "warmer" days, our snow has finally melted!

It's great to see grass again!

We even dusted off the wagon and took it for a ride! :)

Latest Stats!

Here's the latest stats from Eli's 15 month appointmentL

Height: 30 1/2" (25%)

Weight: 23 lb. 12 oz. (45%)

Eli has slowed down in the growth chart!

(I think he's always been 50%+ for both height and weight)

He's a healthy & happy little guy!

I'll update more on Eli and all that he is up to these days SOON! :)

Gracie Update!

Our sweet "baby" girl will be 3 in just a for short months already!

Where has the time gone?!?!

The "Terrible Twos" have been not so terrible at all! Grace is as sweet as ever! (Most of the time :o)

Dora, Mickey, and Elmo are her favorites

She loves to sing, run, swim, and go down slides at the park!

(Now that it's finally getting warm enough!!)

She still loves her diapers! (I'll give her until she's 3! Then no more miss nice mommy! :)

She's really talking now! Sentences too! :) (Still some of her made up little language...but we can decipher most of it :)

Grace loves anything crafty! Paint, chalk, markers, crayons, scissors, glue...you name it! :)

Grace loves to sing and enjoys listening to music when she falls asleep at night...

Grace is pretty good with Eli and they make great little playmates! :)

We are so very blessed to have her as our daughter!

Little Monkey

Yep, that's Grace hanging on the fridge...

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Today we celebrated Cousin Ryan's 3rd birthday with family!

Blowing out the candle!

Time for presents!

Grace had so much fun riding Cousin Ryan's bike!

I think I know what we may need to get Grace for her birthday.... :)

Colorful Hands

Guess Grace got tired of drawing on paper ;)

Hair cut!

Eli's hair was getting way long again... so it was time for a haircut! :)

Wasn't sure how it'd turn out...

He looks so happy here to have all his hair! :)

A before shot...

(Dave with his beard... & Eli with all his hair...

After....

I think he was sad to see all of his hair go... :)

All better now... :)

And so much older looking!

Dave beard-less! :)

(Yay!)

We cannot wait until spring! :)

Sibling Love

Eli wasn't so sure about the lovin' from Gracie :)

Valentine's Day!

Every Monday, Grace & I attend a toddler class together...

Today Grace got to exchange Valentine's with her little friends :)

Finding all sorts of goodies!

Hmmm...what's this??
