Play Time!

Gracie went to the park for the first time and she had a blast! I cant believe she is already big enough to go on the swings. Where does the time go? The feeling of her getting bigger and older is bitter sweet. I'm happy that she is learning all these new things but at the same time it means that she will continue to become more independent and not need me so much. The thought of that makes me sad but I guess that's life and we all grow up. Anyway here is Grace at the park

My Family Rocks

We are back from Va and we had a blast. Here is a rundown of the weekend:

Friday Night: Gracie had her first plane ride which she did really good, no fuss hassle free but me on the other hand DRAMA! people on the plane made me mad but all in all it was a good flight. We got to Em's and we all went to bed after midnight. I was so glad to see Emily and her family...I love them soo much!

Saturday AM - Kids had soccer pictures at 9:15am and then a game at 11:00am. I helped out a little at the game and it was a lot of fun to watch the kids play. I think they had fun. the only bad thing about the soccer game was that it was sooo hot but we survived.

Saturday Afternoon - Carrie and Al were out Em's house when we got back from the game. They drove down from NJ to hang out with us. The girls and Dec went on a bear hunt with my mom and Carrie and besides Killie allergic reaction they had a blast and all came home dirty and nasty.

Saturday Night: We played trivia pursuit 80's edition and i think at times I laughed so hard I cried. I had so much fun even though I got stuck with my mom on my team and Ben and Emily won it was still a blast!

Sunday Morning - Bob Evans breakfast and Carrie and Al left to go back to NJ. It was great seeing them

Sunday Afternoon - Hung around went shopping and cleaned Em's kitchen (Em doesn't like order but I am determined to straighten her out!)Set the kids pool up and let them play until it was dinner time.

Sunday Night - Lounged around and went to bed early

Monday - 4:30am wake up call headed to the airport for a long wait at the airport and a long flight home. Gracie did not fair as well on the plane going home as she did going up. We made it home and went to bed

That brings us to here. I want to thank Emily and her family for letting us take over her house and a special thanks to my nephew Declan for giving up his room and his bed.(The best bed ever) - DUDE YOU ROCK! I wish our visit was longer but the time we were there was so much fun! Take a look at the pictures





BTW - Declan kicked my butt on the Wii this weekend! It's always fun getting beat by a 6 year old kid!

We're Going On A Trip

HOORAY! Today Me,Gracie and Grammy are going to see Emily and her family! We are sooo excited! I hope the weather holds out so I get to see the kids play soccer on Saturday. We are going to have a great weekend! We will also have some other family visiting Emily while we are there, thats exciting too! I cant wait to see everyone.

Im keeping my fingers crossed for a smoothe flight as Gracie has never been on a plane before and she has a cold. We should be ok because we are traveling later in the evening so she should be sleeping...(Thats a funny thought to me because Gracie is the nosest person I know)Im sure she will NOT sleep and will people watch the whole time. Im not really sure where she picked up this habbit from. I think it might be an Emily trait. I know it didnt come from me because when I am in public I only look at the ground!

Ill keep you posted on how the plane ride was. Pray that we have a safe trip and Bernie doesnt end up killing me!

Until Next Time.....Blog to dream
