Let Me Out of Here!

It seems the only place I can ever take a picture of Gracyn is her standing at the front door!

It's About Time!!!

Clint finally popped the question and I said YES!!!! We've actually planning for a couple of weeks now, but now it's official! I have the most beautiful ring ever! It's nothing like I thought I wanted, but when I tried it on I KNEW it was MY ring! Little did I know, Clint went back the next day and bought it! He tried to throw me off. He had me look at other rings and even sent me back to look at this ring knowing it was going to be gone! What a little sneak!

We set the date a couple of weeks ago, May 12, 2012. We're doing a destination weding to....Las Vegas!!! Now, it's not going to be cheesey, Elvis chapel Vegas wedding. We're having it at The Grove in the Almond Orchard. It's a beautiful location and is about 20 minutes off the strip. It's going to be small with close family and friends.

I'm looking forward to planning and seeing everything fall into place!!!

A Hog-tastic Time!

Yesterday was the first game of the 2011 season! Wooo Pig Soiee!!! We started the day off in Bristow. We left there and went straight to Whole Hog to meet Eric, Katie, and Caroline for some delicious BBQ! After lunch, we all went back to the house to watch football and hang out. Bill and Sarah ended up coming over for a little bit. It was great to see them since we hardly get to anymore since they moved to LR. Jeffie came over as well. While the guys were watching football, us girls decided to walk to the neighborhood park. The little girls were so cute! They love to hold hands and give hugs to each other!


Hugs and Kisses!!!


Headed to the park!


Weeeeee!!!!


The girls had a great time at the park! So did the rest of us! We slid some and played on the Twirly Whirly thing!



After the park we were ready to head to the game!!! Gracyn has been working on her Hog Call and it's pretty much perfect! She had a blast at the game and was really good. Last year, she was much smaller and would usually sleep thru half the game. This year, she is bigger and much more aware of what is going on. She loved it when everyone called the hogs, loved the band, and loved Big Red!


Wooo Pig Soiee!!!


A hog win = a happy family!

Days with Daddy!

Clint keeps Gracyn evey other Thursday and every Friday. It's great bc they get to enjoy time together and it cuts down on daycare cost! I love seeing the random picturs he post on facbebook...it gives me a little glimpse into what they are doing that day! Here is a little glimpse for all of you reading this!

Dancie Dance!

So we pretty much have done nothing all month. Well, I take that back. We had Clint's family reunion a couple of weeks ago. We had a good time, I just didn't get very many pictures. Gracyn did put on a cute little dance number for all of us. However, being the smart one that I am, I recorded it sideways so I won't be posting it. Dancing is Gracyn's newest obsession. Anytime music comes on the TV we have to dance, espcially when it's Yo Gabba Gabba Dancie Dance! She will literally grab you off the couch or from whatever you are doing to make you dance with her. Here are just a few pictures of her getting her dancie dance on! Of course, you can't really tell she is dancing but she is cute, nonetheless!!!

Beary Best Friends!

Katie and I have been planning for the day the girls would be old enough to take them to Build a Bear. Well...they have finally reached the age! We had a Mother Daughter Day that consisted of Build a Bear, shopping, dinner at Mimi's Cafe, yogurt ay Yum Yo's, and play time!

We started off will Build a Bear. Caroline picked a limited edition Blizzard Ice Cream Bear and dressed her in a Tuti Fruiti bikini. She named her Tuti. Gracyn picked a silver cat and dressed her in a ballerina outfit and named her Meow.


So much fun! We look forward to doing this again!


Meet Meow and Tuti!


We had a lot of fun, but was so exhausted by the end of the evening. Mother Daughter Days aren't as easy as they were just a couple of months ago when the girls were ok with sitting in the stroller. Katie and I decided that our next outing will just be a Mothers Day out. Looking forward to that!

My Little Firecracker!

We had a great 4th of July this year! We were able to spend it with family and friends, pop some of our own fireworks, and see a couple amazing firework shows! Saturday, Clint's parents came over. Clint smoked some ribs then we headed over to Jeffie's house for some dinner and dessert. Jeffie passed the CPA exam so Ma brought an ice cream sundae box. Mmmmm...I love ice cream Sundays! She also brought Gracyn some 4th of July balloons! After dinner, we popped some fireworks that Gracyn bought, then headed to the mall to see the Freedom Firework show.


Gracyn playing with her balloons!


Making funny faces with Ma!


Getting ready to see the firework show at the Mall!

The next day, we met everyone for breakfast at Susan's. Clint, Jeffie, and I had the Sweet Breakfast. It came with eggs, bacon, sausage, or ham, and a GIANT cinnamon roll. You can bet that we will be going back to Susan's for breakfast in the near future! Afterward, we were planning on going to Joplin to take my adoptive family the things we had bought them. Clint's parent's had planned on driving up and seeing the damage, then heading to Bristow from there. However, I had a sinus infection all week and had woke up that morning with the worst pain behind my left eye that I had ever had! So, we didn't make it to Joplin. I decided to go to a walk in clinic instead. I got a shot of sinus cocktail and a Z pack. I felt better very soon after! So, that evening we went to the Naturals game with Scott and Shannon. It was miserable hot for the first hour or so. Then it rained and cooled things down. After the game, we saw a spectacular fire work show!


Gracyn got a new bat and ball at the game. It's never too early to start softball practice!


Hanging out with Scott and Shannon!
