Let it Snow!

In case any of you were confused as to the kind of snow I was referring to, it wasn't the kind outside. This is what you get when you allow your 2 year old to help you decorate a cake. Powdered sugar all over your kitchen! She had so much fun. So, I guess that is all that really matters. She loves eating frosting, powdered sugar and fondant and calls it all cake. I love my little helper!

Happy Halloween Luv Bug!

 

 

 

 

We went trick-or-treating around my parents circle tonight. Gracie had a great time. I think there was only one other kid that walked the circle, so we scored on the candy. Gracie kept saying "next one." She knew exactly what we were doing and that if we went to the next house, there would be more candy. (more candy for mom and dad, that is!) She is way too smart for her own good.

Trunk or Treat!

My little butterfly is the cutest thing ever! We went to my parents ward trunk or treat today and she loved it! We really had a great time.

...And she didn't hesitate eating the candy when we got home! (her shirt says "candy makes me happy!")

Happy Birthday Gracie!

Well, it happened. My baby turned 2! Where has the time gone? We had a really fun party for her. We were prepping her for our Disneyland trip, so we had a Minnie Mouse party.

I had fun thinking of this cake. Would you know that while I was running an errand, she managed to climb onto the counter top and pull of one of the Minnies! Silly girl!
I sure love my bug! We have a great time together. I am sure glad that we have her around! This has really been a wonderful 2 years!

Opening presents...

She LOVES Dora and her friends. We got her a few beenie babies of them. She sure loves boots the monkey!

I am already feeling sorry for any of our future children. I have gone over and beyond for Gracie, I just hope I can keep up the pace! These were the cupcakes that I made as a favor for everyone to take home.

The "pre-party" party!

Gracie's birthday is in 2 weeks. I can't believe that she will be 2. Where has the time gone? We had a little party for her tonight because grandma and grandpa Moore will be out of town. We wanted them to be part of the fun. Grandma made dinner and we brought the cake. Now, before you think that I am a over doing it kind of mom, I must tell you that I had a wedding cake yesterday that was made of all the stuff you see here on this cake. I had extras...perfect for a birthday cake for my baby.

It was the funniest thing, as soon as I put the cake infront of here, she leaned in and took a big bite and then said "mmm, cake!" What am I teaching her!

I was shocked that right after we sung Happy Birthday, she leaned over and blew out the candles. Who taught her that?

Then it was time for present... Grandmas are the best! What does every little girl want and need?...

Dress ups!!!

Our cute cousins we so into it that they got their own dress ups on and were treating Gracie like she was the princess of all princesses! They even said to me "she is so darling!" We love our cousins!

The FRUITS of our labor!

This is the best time of year. Does it get any better then this. We have peaches on our trees this years and they are just getting ripe. This morning when I went out to pick my breakfast, there were so many peaches that had fallen last night. This sled in how many I picked off the ground! So sad, but they still taste wonderful! If anyone feels like eating a really great peach, come on over!!!

GO UTES!

DISCLAIMER... I know there are a few members of my family who might just disown me for going to a U game. I must say that my heart of hearts still remains BLUE! I am very happy with their big win! Go BYU!

For Jordan's birthday this year, I got him and I season tickets to U football. Last night was the first game. I must say, that there is nothing like attending a college football game. We had so much fun!



Gracie LOVED it too. She had a great time. I had no idea what to expect, but she did so good. She would clap and stomp her feet when the crowd was going wild. And, she would dance when the music came on.

I did come prepared, though. She had her own little set up. We had a ledge behind us where there were no seats, so she could walk around and play. Worked out perfectly.

She loved hanging out with her dad. They are really great buddies! He said to me last night, "don't be mad if she is a Ute fan!"

(Take special note that her collar is blue and her leggings are blue! I got my team in there too!)

Loving Lake Powell!

We just got back from Lake Powell and we had a great time. Gracie especially. She loved the water and the beach and the boat, oh and the ducks and the wave runners and being with her daddy the whole week. She didn't even complain when she had to wear her life jacket.

She loved driving the wave runner. She wouldn't let me touch the handle bars. She wanted to drive all by herself!

Cutest Pictures Ever!

A friend of ours called us for a last minute photo session for the kids and we were excited to be a part of it. Matt and Jamie were in town that weekend, so we asked if they could bring Jaxon. Gracie and Jaxon had a great time together. I am so excited how the pictures turned out. I couldn't just pick a couple of them, so you have a whole bunch to see here. I really love how their personality came out. Enjoy!
