Yosemite

Last week we spent the week camping in Yosemite. We had a great time!

It was COLD in the mornings. Aunt Jackie was trying to help keep Gracie girl warm.

Nate of course loved his bath . . .

. . . it took Gracie 3 or 4 days before she would even sit down in it.

Justin and I took a longer hike one day and got to have a picnic by this beautiful river.

We got really wet hiking the mist trail.

Gracie was having a bad hair day.

Playing with a cousin is so much fun!

Yosemite Falls

Gracie loved riding in the backpack.

I think she ate some dirt as a part of every meal.

We had crazy thunder storms the second half of the week.

Random Cuteness

Gracie was enjoying her meal

Gracie has discovered a new shelf of books. She doesn't really like to read them, but LOVES to pull them all off onto the floor.

Here's her first bath with cousin Nate. They did have fun, Gracie just freezes for the camera. Oh, and doesn't her hair have great memory?!

Slurpee

I haven't posted in a while, so there will be a few updates to follow with recent photos. This is from about a month ago when we let Gracie have her first taste of a Slurpee. She loved it!

a little too quiet

I've heard from many parents that when it's a little too quiet around the house you know that the kiddos are up to something! Well, Justin and I had our first, "it's a little too quiet" moment yesterday. Gracie really likes to be right wherever we are these days, so we usually know just what she is up to. Yesterday Justin and I were doing different things and all of a sudden realized it was a little too quiet and that Gracie wasn't right with us. It didn't take us long to find out why she was so quiet! I'm sure this is just our first of many such moments!

Yep, the whole roll on the floor! Happy Mother's Day!

Feeding the ducks

Gracie currently has a love for birds. We took her to the park a couple weeks ago to feed the ducks and she had a blast! We love watching her discover new things.
