Mother's Day 2011.

We had a wonderful weekend and a great Mother’s Day yesterday. On Saturday morning, we took the kids to the re-opening of a children’s bookstore. They had fun looking around and listening to an author read her book. After that, we went to the mall and checked out the sale at Children’s Place. We found some really cute shorts and tanks for the girlies. Gracie got a new hat and they both got a pair of new shoes and a little purse. They wore a new stripped skirt and purple butterfly shirt to church on Saturday night. They were so cute(and they matched)!

On Sunday morning, Nate made pancakes and bacon. YUM. The girls LOVE pancakes. After breakfast, Nate took some pics of me and the girlies. We were on the couch with the window open behind us—I thought that we give our dark living room some nice natural light. When I downloaded pics, there was a ton of light behind our heads. We were going to take some more later and forgot—hopefully soon.

After photos, we went to NEX for a new edger/weed eater. We also tried to find out about the warranty on our portable DVD that has quite reading DVDs. Argh. It broke in Oct right after we bought it and the store let us exchange it for a new one—thinking we should have gotten our money back at that time. We found out we have to call about the warranty—hoping they will be easy to deal with. Hmmm. We came home and put the girls down for a nap. I scrapbooked with some of my new goodies and then we just hung out for the rest of the afternoon. I gave the girls a quick bath in the sink—Gracie loves this and Allie hates it. After we put the girls to bed, Nate went and picked up Chili's for dinner. It was sooo good.

Check out how little they were last year!

Gracie Arrives.

I have been meaning to get into the habit of posting. I think about it every day. Then, the day gets away from me. But, I know there is so much that I am going to want to remember so I am going to try really hard to get something posted every week-day. May as well set the bar high, right? =) So, I thought I would start with a recap of Gracie's birth. Wed Oct 15th: We have our 39 week doctor appt. We are scheduled for an ultrasound before the dr visit. The ultrasound shows that the baby is 8 pounds 14 ounces. Mommy is a little stunned and has a hard time getting up and leaving the office. We see the dr and he explains that the baby could be one pound bigger or one pound larger than the weight the ultrasound showed. Either way we are looking at an 8-10 pound baby. Mommy is still in shock. The dr checks me and determines that nothing is really happening and things are not favorable to induce the baby. We can wait and see if I go into labor or we can schedule a c-section. If we get

Pudding.

I made butterscotch pudding recently and let Gracie try some. She was pretty excited:
