Update

Here's some pics of what we've been up to lately.
We had a little gathering with some friends from the mission... we thought it would be fun to have a little play group. Crazy how we all have little ones now. These are friends for life! I know this pic is dark, unfortunately my camera was on the wrong setting!




Here's an update on what Gracie is doing lately.
- She says words like ball, mamma, daddy, hi, duck, yes, and no. Her favorite word is "Hi." She says hi to every person she sees. At church,the play ground, or at the jogger running by. At the grocery store she'll say hi to the clerk, they will say hi back... but she doesnt stop there! She will say hi at least 20 times while waving! I feel bad sometimes for people who keep answering "hi" over and over, I just tell them, its ok, you dont have to keep answering, cause she'll keep going for hours!

- She loves being with her Dad more and more. They water the plants outside together in the morning and at night. Its their little routine. James will squirt her with water, and she thinks its so fun. Most days they come back in the house and Gracie is soaked!

- When Gracie does somthing she knows she should'nt do, like throw her sippy cup off her high chair, before I even say anything, she points her finger at me, and says no, no. We try to look away so she doesnt see us cracking up. Its so cute! So now I try to say "yes" more to things that she can do and can have. Its been fun to watch her shake her head up and down and say yes!

What a fun gathering...that is definitely a plus to living in Utah!!! We just have our own mission gatherings with Joel Worley and his wife...who ended up being our neighbors :) I cannot believe we are moms and married...sometimes the mission seems like just yesterday and other times it feels like a whole different lifetime ago...what cute kids...Gracie's hair looks awesome!! She is so cute!
