We were starving when we got there! Gracyn had some yummy pears and squash!
Each year they do a drawing for one of Lala's quilts. The quilt is made up of blocks that people made the year before. I meant to get a picture of the one we did last year but forgot. We had just found out we were having a girl so Clint had drawn a stork carrying a pink bag. I was really hoping we would win it, but no luck. This year we just did our names and drew colorful designs on the block. Maybe we will win it next year!
Gracyn with her Lala, Ma, and Aunt Jeffie. I think Gracyn is more interested in her pink pony than having her picture made.
Gracyn and her Great Uncle Dale!
Last year at the reunion we had a Grandma's shower. Clint's mom and two sisters were all going to be grandma's in the same year so they through Christina, Natalie, and me a baby shower. A couple days later, Jaycob arrived! This year, we celebrated his first birthday! While we were waiting to go to the birthday party, Gracyn showed us all how good she is beginning to crawl.
Ok, so she army crawls, but at least its a start! Here she is trying to get to Alvin. Alvin is her most beloved toy! Kaeleigh got it in one of her happy meals and gave it to Gracyn. In fact, she has two of them. When you push the top of his head he says, "Helllooo Gorgeous." I guess that is why she loves him so much...he feeds her ego!
Anyway, back to the party. Jaycob's party was at the park. They grilled out burgers and hot dogs, opened presents, and had cake! There was even an alligator there! That's right, a live alligator! There was a friend of Christina's husband who had a four year old alligator. He was a lot smaller than what I would expect a four year old gator to look like. I had to get Gracyn's picture made with him! No, I did not put my child in harm's way. The gator's snout was taped shut and he was on some kind of leash.
She actually tried to grab at it like she does a puppy!
Gracyn slept through the first half of the party!

In the bubble!
WEEEEE!!!!!
Cousins Nathan and Jaden
After the party we went back to Lala's house. We stopped by the hotel first to give Gracyn at bath and put her jammies on.

The next day we went to Gassville so see Clint's dad's side of the family. His aunt took us to the cemetary to show us where his grandparent's and great grandparent's were buried. We even go to see his great, great Grandpa Hayes's headstone. It was all actually really neat. It makes me want to research my family history.
G with Great Uncle Bud!
With Great Uncle Ronnie!
With Great Aunt Ann!
Now...if we could only get my side of the family together!
