Mom's Birthday

Mom would be 59 years old today. Every year we eat Chinese food and bridge mix in her honor (Two of her favorite foods.) It's been three and a half years since she died. I miss her more and more every day.

Trying to catch up

We have not added to the blog in a while due to procrastination and being really busy (mostly Joe). Joe is taking four classes this semester and is the new vice president of the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Managers) chapter at Weber State University. Janice is trying to keep up with Gracie and working full time. Gracie is busy just being Gracie.

October so far

I told Joe to get Gracie something for October and he got her this pumpkin sweatsuit. He insists it is not a costume but simply a sweatsuit. Gracie's favorite toys are boxes and paper. She could play with them all day. This year we are the Flinstones for Halloween. Gracie makes a perfect Pebbles. Gracie had one of her first experiences with jello at her Grandpa's birthday at Golden Corral. She got it all over herself but none in her mouth. This past week two of her teeth have surfaced and she is not as fond of solids at the moment.

Kyle's Baptism and Gracie's First Plane Ride

We went to our nephew Kyle's baptism in September. We were really glad to be there. Gracie went on her first airplane ride from Salt Lake to Seattle.

Gracie also met her Uncle Jacob while we were in California. She was introduced to motorcycles, the Jelly Belly Factory(Joe is wearing his hat from there) and her favorite pastime of eating everyone's ice cream.

Pics Out of Order

We enjoyed visiting family in Washington and California in July. Gracie was a good traveler in the car and in a backpack. She got to meet her Great Grandpa Bert when we were in California.

Shaylee

Shaylee is now 2 1/2 months old and is a cutie! She has changed so much every time we see her.

Lots of Pictures...So Little Time
