Happy Birthday Gracie

Today is our first child, Gracie's, 4th birthday. Drew picked out a new ball and a bag of treats from Petco for her. This morning we sang Happy Birthday and Drew blew her candles out. She went to the groomer this morning and lounged, as usual, in the sun on her pillow the rest of the day. She is so spoiled, and those of you who have been fortunate enough to meet our little 8lb mini weenie dog, know she is very territorial and barks non-stop. She really doesn't like too many people, nothing personal she just only loves a few, but we adore her, and she has been very good to put up with Drew. We love you little Gracie Girl!

In the Kitchen with Drew

Monday night Drew and I played outside in his new rock box. I filled a pool up with peat gravel and we've had a blast scooping and digging. He also decided he needed a snack at his picnic table.

Here Quack Quack...

Friday, a bunch of us met at McDonald's for lunch and then it was on to the park to feed the ducks and play at the playground. Drew enjoyed throwing bread to the ducks, but he really likes to watch them. He is so serious, like he's studying every move they make. I always get great pictures of him there.

My Mom's Birthday

I finally can post this. I seem to have trouble putting pictures on my blog lately. My mom's b-day was Sept. 2nd. We went to Samurai with my mom, stepdad, brother and sister in law. Drew thought watching the chef cook was awesome. I love to watch them too. He kept saying "Aw Man!", and the chef would say it too. It was fun and delicious! We went to my grandparents house the next day to celebrate her and her sister's b-day (it is in Sept. too) and had a great meal. Drew got to ride around on Daddy Bill's scooter after this picture was taken. I have it on video, which hopefully I can put on here before long.

My Baby Boy

I have been wanting to post some pictures of Drew from when he was really small until now. He's growing so fast. I, like every other mother, am having a hard time accepting it sometimes So here are some. I could have put a million and three on here but I will stop...until next time. The oldest of these was last summer.
