To start the month off Heather and Tim came into to town to visit for a long weekend. We had a great time with them hanging out at the pool and going to the zoo. Grace absolutely loved them being here. I think she is really getting spoiled from all of the attention lately.

The Zoo was lots of fun
It was a great to see Heather and Tim. We haven't seen them since Christmas and need to get together more often.
Of course with all of the family in town, we still had playdates, playgroups, and school to attend. We met at a local splashground with Brandi and her 2 daughters for lunch and playtime. Grace has no fear and loved running around in the splaypark and the playgrond.
Enjoying a little pre-festivity lunch.
Lots of fun! And she keeps up with her hat!
We decided to put Grace in a Mother's Day Out program for just one day a week this summer. This was her first day. She did pretty good that day. She still isn't loving it yet, but it is getting better.
Keith's Dad 'Papa' came to visit for a week. Grace had lots of fun taking walks in the morning and afternoon with him. Every time we walk out in the garage now she is expecting to get in the wagon. I wish I had taken pictures, but I promise to take lots next week when we see him and Nanie.
My Aunt Nadine and Cousin Stefani were in town last weekend. Stefani is a photographer and was shooting a wedding here in Texas. It was great to see them. Stefani took some great pictures of Grace. Here are a couple of sneaks that I grabbed from Facebook (hope that is ok Stefani). She literally has become a little girl over night.
Last weekend was Father's day. Daddy is one of the few words that Grace says consistently/repeatedly so I guess we know who her favorite is.
Daddy Daughter Date night at Chick-fil-a for Father's Day! They had black table cloths, took your order at the table and even had cheat sheet for what to talk to your daughter about. Really cute! I think they had a great time. It was a very nice Father's day weekend!
This week we got Grace a backpack and lunch box from PotteryBarnKids (Thanks Susan and Gil for the Birthday gift card!) It is so cute, but when it is full Grace can't exactly wear them yet.
About to topple over before school.
As if this month isn't busy enough, I hosted a Discovery Toys party with my friend Kelli last night. If you need any toys let me know. They have some great stuff that really grows with your kids. While I was getting ready, I guess Grace was a bit bored since I had put her toys away. She found a pen (I took it away from her), but not before doing this. I didn't realize it until about halfway through the party. Good thing the cover is washable. We are just getting into understanding drawing and coloring so I guess it was inevitable.
Our first episode of coloring something that shouldn't have been colored!
When I noticed I could only laugh. It is in the wash already.
We leave for Mexico on Wednesday. It should be a great time and we can't wait. It will be Grace's first international trip and first beach and first full family vacation. I promise to take lots of pictures.
In the meantime we are getting packed and ready! See you soon!
Her futures so bright...
She's got to wear shades....
