Loving Our Daddy!

All smiles for Daddy!

Such a good Daddy!

Daddy, your face tickles!

A little snuggling after a long day!

Mommy and Me!

Gracie, you are the sweetest thing on the face of this earth! Thank you for all the joy you bring to my life!

Gracie was outfitted in a cute brown and pink set from Carter's layette line for a recent trip to Mimi and Papa's house. I wanted this little number as soon as it came out and it happens to be one of the only outfits I have purchased for her that didn't come from Ebay! Gotta love the Goodwill sale at Bergner's!

So, I put Gracie under the activity center and covered up her legs while I was picking up the toys. I went into the kitchen to get a bottle of water and look what I came back to! She isn't rolling over yet so she just scooted her little self all the way over to the pillow.

If my memory serves me correctly, this is one of the first outfits that was purchased for Gracie once we found out "it" was a girl! It's J&J from Ebay and came with a cute matching hat, but we didn't know back then that she would have such a petite little head. It's ginormous!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I thought this Ebay bargain was perfect for the occassion! I got a great deal since I bought it in the winter, but I really should have gotten a bigger size!

Park Play-Date

Today we had a play date at the park in Hamilton. I didn't capture many pictures of the other kiddos (note to self to this the next time!), but got some good ones of our little guys! I brought along some things for the boys to play in the sand pile so they wouldn't try to play on the equipment that is too big for them since I was packing around Gracie. I usually do not let them play in the sand pile because I know it's kind of gross, but I let down my defenses. Wouldn't you know that a few minutes later I was telling another mom that I spelled dog poop and found it on Gunner's shoe! No more sand piles!

Gavin enjoyed throwing his "super-bouncy-bouncy ball" down the hill and then running after it.

They weren't really big fans of the merry-go-round!

Co-pilot Gunner! He's better at letting others drive than Gavin is!

I have gotten TONS more use out of this with Gracie than I did with the boys!

Gunner is definitely a truck man! "Jack it up, Gunner!" Daddy knows why!

It is hard for me to let Gavin go down this slide alone. I usually follow him up and then let him go by himself. I was getting a workout, let me tell you!

4-Wheelin' Momma!

On Saturday, Clint and I went 4-wheeling with another couple at Fenway in Missouri. I really didn't know what was in store for me so I wasn't too prepared. Although I was driving very cautiously and being pretty safe, I should have been wearing a helmet! Much to my surprise, it was a lot of fun! Some of the trails we planned to ride on were flooded by the Mississippi so we spent most of our time in the sand. A few notes for myself to remember a few laughable moments from the evening: Macy saving the five cent bobber, Macy losing the biggest fish she's ever seen, bent handlebars, Q and a mouthful of sand, MacGyver, "Clint didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning. Clint didn't start the fire. No he didn't light it, but he tried to fight it!"

Geese Gone Wild!

Here ya go, Daddy! You didn't believe that the geese were perching on Mimi and Papa's house! We took pictures to prove it! Although it looks kind of cool, I'm sure the poop isn't and they wouldn't mind you taking them out!

Our New Toy!

Gavin had no reservations hopping on the 4-wheeler! However, once Daddy got on and started the engine, it became a different story. Gunner had to take the first ride and then Gavin became interested again. He wanted Mommy to drive and he is now in love with it!

"Hang on, Gunner!"

Gavin always wants Daddy to go fast! This is surprising if you know Gavin.
