San Diego, here we come!

We're leaving for Portland Saturday night, and will stay with Bryce's brother that night. They'll run us to the airport around 4am *oy* to fly out for our vacation! I'm working on getting all the details worked out (maps, directions, etc.) so that things will be as seamless as possible. It will be both Bryce and Grace's first plane trip! We'll be going to Tijuana, the san diego zoo, and misc. other spots!

Look out world!

Gracie can move! And get into everything. Apparantly, toys are "so not cool, mom" but that dog food does look delicious, and those fan cords look like fun. Oh, and let me eat a moth. *sigh* We were at target on sunday, and she was sitting in the basket part of the cart, and pulled up on the side and tried to climb out! Her little toes were in the holes, and she was trying so hard. She loves to crawl to the flower beds outside and eat dirt, or get into Abby's food and water. Where oh where did my little girl go? She is so big now! The trip is going to be very interesting. LOL

Fun in Grandma's sink!

At Grandma and Grandpa's house this weekend, Grace enjoyed playing in the deep copper sink. She had a blast splashing and standing!

From sitting to standing, all in five days!

God help me. She went from just sitting on her hands and knees, to crawling (June 29th) to pulling up and walking behind the laundry basket in FIVE DAYS! She crawled a day shy of her 8 month birthday. Then yesterday she pulled up on a tote, then climbed on top of it! Today she is pulling up on everything, and just a bit ago started pushing the laundry basket around and walking behind it! Granted, she isn't fast yet, but GEEZ! Also yesterday, she got into the dog food, spilled Abby's water, shredded the newspaper and had her first supper with us. At this rate she'll be starting college next month! I think we need to look into a push toy. :) Gotta love her!

Eating machine!

The first four are from her first dinner with us. We had chicken and rice, and zucchini. She ate so much rice! And had a blast making faces and talking to us.
The second one is her favorite meal: black beans and rice. She loves to smash it into her face! :0)

Grace and Gail

I caught her trying to climb on Gail in our bathroom. Doesn't she look guilty?



Sleepy girls! Abby likes to lay on Grace like this. Grace likes to pull Abby's ears.

I can't believe I forgot to post these!

Wow. I didn't realize that I hadn't put these up! LOL they are too cute. She still likes to go....but usually only for daddy. She gets mad and screams at me!

And yet more pics!

And more pictures. I really love the second one. She's such a sweetie pie. :)

Here ya go mom.

More pics of the girly!

Grace and Daddy

I love this picture. :)

Our garden.

Here are some pics. See how huge the squash is? And how many blooms are on one vine?! We have around 18 squash plants of different varieties, some watermelon and pumpkins, corn, beans, peas (although these didn't do too hot) lots of cucumbers, about 25 tomato plants (seriously.) lots of green peppers, carrots, and we had lettuce, spinach and radishes too. :)

Great Grandma's House

Here are some pictures from our visit to Great-Grandma's house!!

Mom and Grace

From our river day.

A day at the river

We went down to the river on Saturday, and there was a little beach for G to play in. She tried to eat the sand right off the bat! She had a good time~

It's been a busy month!

We have been so busy this month. Dylan graduated the 10th, we went to visit Great Grandma the 16th, Father's Day was the 17th, and we've been woodcutting on top of all of it!

Here are some pics from this weekend. Grace and Daddy in her first pool!

My sweet pea.

I just love how happy she is outside. These pics are from the day she turned six months.
