Grace's Song

Months ago Tami and I were in Sam's Club and the song "Say" by John Mayer was playing. Grace attempted to sing it and one time it came on the radio and she lit up, so I let her listen to it on the computer and she was so happy. This video is not so entertaining, but I wanted to remember this about Grace.

Cute cousins

Taking a cute picture usually involves some behind the scenes drama.



Here's a great example...

Superman turns 3

Grace had a Superman Birthday Party and absolutely loved her cake and superman pj's. She makes us call her Superman all the time as she pretends to play with the Hulk, Princess Fiona, or baby Supermans. Amy and Justin came over and helped make our superhero party complete with Emma as Spiderman, Roman as Batman, Amy as Lightning Mcqueen and Justin as Shrek. Chad and I are not fun and didn't even think to dress up. No, I did not make the cake. A friend recommended a lady who makes cakes from home. I don't regret it.
The Entrance

The presents included a spiderman scooter, superman racecar and Crispix Cereal AKA (Kung Fu Panda Cereal) according to Grace.

Waking up on her birthday

Valentines

We went to the St. George Parade of Homes with Kate and really enjoyed a getaway. Thanks to Amy and my friend Alison for watching Grace. We saw a few 3 million dollar homes which were amazing. (They should be!) Kate was a good girl and slept well at the hotel to our relief.
Chad did a great job with the flowers this year. The purple with red really stood out.

POTTY TRAINED!!!

I'm sticking to the slogan "It's never too late", because I've posted about 6 months worth of stuff today. It feels GOOD!
I am pleased to announce that GRACE is potty trained! She finally showed interest again and I jumped on it. We used a sticker chart with rewards like McDonalds and Chucky Cheese. She was really motivated, but didn't understand that if she just went pee, she couldn't go right back to the toilet and go pee again to get another sticker. Roman got interested because of Grace and he's amazing. He woke up from a nap to go pee, then went right back to bed, and he wakes up at night. WOW. With boys and girls going pee there was a little confusion at first.

Emma turns 5!

Emma is Cinderella. She is such a sweet girl and a wonderful example to Grace.
