"Potty Time"

This little guy has a newfound interest in sitting on the potty!

Whenever he sees big sister go...he wants a turn too :)

I'm hoping this means that he'll be a lot easier to potty train than big sister was :)

Grace loved her diapers! Eli can't wait to get his off :)

A Bright & Sunny Day

Here's Grace sporting her favorite pair of shades... :)

Little Artist!

This little man is such an emerging young artist! :)

He did more writing on the paper than he did on the table!! :)

PK 3 Home Visit!

Gracie had her first home visit today!

Mrs. Larsen came by today to spend some time with Grace.

Her visit made Grace so excited to start preschool!

Mrs. Larsen brought Grace some fun activities for Grace to do!

Grace got to dob bright colors on the letter "G".

Mrs. Larsen read a story about preschool.

Grace with her favorite teacher! :)

Parade!

Every five years our town has a parade during fair week!

And this was the year! :)

A snow plow :(

Grace and Eli got waaaay too much candy!

(The bag sitting next to Grace's chair was full by the end!)

Little helicopter looking things... :)

I think this may be the first time I've seen a camel at a parade!

Carver County Fair!

We spent the afternoon at the Carver County Fair!

The animals were our favorite part of the fair! (Besides the fair food of course :)

So...the four of us took a break from the water parks- and found a "real" park for the kiddos to play at! :)

Pausing a moment to say "Cheese!" :)

Wisconsin Dells!

We took a trip to Wisconsin Dells to spend a few days with my sisters and their families!

We had a blast!

Gracie was all ready for some fun in the water!

Driving away! :)
