Random pics from playing outside today!

Picking dandelions

9 week bellybean!

Ya know, if I hadn't seen the bean twice already, I'd be wondering if there were two in there!

The bellybean!

The "bean" as we're calling it is growing like well, a bean. lol I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant now, only three weeks till the second trimester! We got to tell the family last week, and everyone was very excited! (although a couple of people were in trouble for hiding it! *ahem Blake and Grandma*)

Grace wore a shirt a friend of mine made for the occasion. We took her jacket off and waited for someone to notice it. :) Of course it was one her aunts lol.



And here is the weekly progression of the bellybean:

6.5 weeks


7.5 weeks (not much change yet)


8 weeks even (I grew that much in three days!)


Stay tuned for new pics! We'll be taking them every sunday for the whole pregnancy.

Random early spring pics

Some random pics from the last month:

Kissing her buffalo


Helping Daddy pay bills. :)


Cleaning her potty while Daddy cleaned the rest of the bathroom! (yes, we pay her minimum wage...in ice cream )


Grace is a power ranger now! At cousin Hayden's birthday party.

Easter!

Lots and lots of pics!

We dyed Easter eggs Friday night. She helped by spilling the yellow dye all over Daddy. :) And a sweet Daddy hug.



The Dress Grandma made for her. She wore it to Easter Vigil.


Easter Egg Hunt! We thought she wouldn't get very much because she was in the very youngest of the age group (up to preschool) but she filled her basket! She was a madgirl lol!





A happy girl Easter morning when she saw what the Easter Bunny left her!


Hunting for eggs in the yard.

The big girl

The vest...
This is daddy's vest. It's hideous and I don't know why he bought it. But she HAS to wear it all day. She looks ridiculous!




Her first fishy! Well, the first one she touched. :)


Awwww...a daddy hug.


With her cousin Hayden


Crazy haired bath baby!


Chillin in mom's chair.

Bathtime, nighttime, and her first ponytail!

Bathtime!


Night-night time. If she doesn't have the SAME exact routine she has a hard time falling asleep. Must have glo-worm and her sippy. :D


And introducing her first ponytail! This is the first time I've been able to pull it all together. Still wispy of course, but doesn't she look big?!


And the back view...

Silly girl!

Sitting in her shopping cart:



Showing off her new outfit that mama just made:


Peeking at the dogs outside...look at how light her hair is getting!

Welcome to the Farm!

Grace with George and Ava. I used to nanny Ava before we got married, and her mom (Mo) was pregnant with George when I left. By far the most amazing family there ever was!


Mommy and Gracie dancing before bed. :)

Evil Grace! GRRRR!


Grace with mama cow, who just had a baby. Prior to baby, Grace sat on her in the field and gave her kisses!



Peekaboo! (yes, i eat dirt, and i'm proud of it. Want some?)

One of the 7 or so horses across the road. She loves them! "horse" sounds like "hriss"

This is what the horse thinks of Bryce. LOL

Oh my Gosh DAD! It LICKED me. Can you believe it?! (like her cool boots? :D)


The ADORABLE moose sleeper that a friend (regina) sent Grace. Doesn't she look mooseiful? lol


Mom, this pudding is touching my fingers. Get it off. Here you see type-A grace, who doesn't like messes.
