Gracie LOVES the water!

Playdate

We have some friends over for a playdate, we are so lucky to have such a good friends.

The babies have grown together and it's awesome to watch them interact and play together. No more just laying down or rolling over NO! Now they are all over the place, crawling, walking, pushing each other, fighting for or sharing toys.

I'm so looking forward to see them get bigger and smarter and cuter!

There were just 4 babies today but I love them all!!!, these 4 and the other 16 that couldn't come.

All of them and their moms make our lives much better everyday!

This was Gracie's first trip out of the

state, we drove 13 hrs and she did awesome in the car!!!

we spent 10 wonderful days in Colorado visiting part of our family. There were 13 adults, 1 kid, 2 babies and 6 dogs, plus 2 horses and 3 barn cats.

We got to celebrate 4th of July and Jenni, Mikey and Cori's birthdays. (Gracie's cousins)

The weather was just PERFECT!!! We saw rainbows almost everyday!!!

One of those days we went to Parker CO to met with Karen, Dick, Sara, Ellinor (Sara's daughter) and Erin.

We had such a great time with delicious food and awesome company.

Thank you Aunt Marsha, Uncle Mike, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Rick, Becki, Michelle, Sara, Jenni, Erin, Mikey, Cory, Dom, Grandpa Lee, Karen, Dick, Dylan, Ellinor & Hannah. We love you sooo much!!!
