Dress Up Time

Yesterday we had a fun day of dress up.

New Rain Gear from Kay Kay and Papa. This is all she wanted for her bday and when she didn't get it in her bday she was sad! She opened it a few days later and now she puts it on and turns her sound machine onto rain and pretends it is raining.

Fancy Nancy from cousin Meredith. Gracie loves Fancy Nancy and loves her new dress up stuff!

Toy Story

Gracie got the Toy Story Dolls for her Birthday today. She loves them and introduced them to her other toys all over the house.

She is convinced they are real. She told Bella to babysit them when we went to the park. Tonight, she was so afraid they were going to escape to pizza planet that she made sure all the doors were locked and window shut before she would go to bed. She put them on the highest shelf so they couldn't escape. I thought it was finally over when an hour later she called me in her room to tell me buzz could climb down with a string. SO we locked them in her dresser. She cracks us up...how fun that she really thinks they are real.

First Kite

Aunt Amy brought Gracie a really cool kite today. Of course we were all dying to try it so we headed to White Rock Lake. Gracie was a pro.

Gracie is 3!!!!

Gracie turned 3 today! We started the morning with our family party. She wanted pancakes and presents first thing. This is the first year she has been really into her birthday and it was so much fun! Here are the pictures.

Gracie is ready for the pj pancake party!

Showing us she is 3

Her pancake was even a 3

Gracie helped make her birthday cake. It had to be pink with lots of sprinkles. She wanted a heart because she loves birthdays! (Hopefully her party cake will turn out much cuter!)

Blowing out her candles.

Gracie has an announcement

Yes! Tyler got an extra bday present this year...we found out around his bday. Baby Isbell is coming the last week in Sept. We will find out what it is next month. We are not discussing names until after we find out, but Gracie is very opinionated. She loves Florida because it is where Mickey lives...not a chance! She told us the other day that it is a girl for sure and if it isn't, God made a huge mistake. haha! Oh what fun to be almost 3!

March fun!

Being silly!

Mowing like Grandad

We love dress up time!

Gracie dressed up as Cinderella thanks to Kirsten and Leigh. Too funny!

Quick trip to the Arboretum

We headed to the Arboretum with a bunch of friends a few weeks ago. It was amazing with all the spring blooms. Mommy didn't do a very good job of taking pictures. Here are the few I took. I will take more when we go for the Easter Egg hunt!

Spring Break in Houston

We headed to Houston for a few days during Spring Break. It was a fun loaded few days. We went to see Pops, had dinner with Danny, Adriane, Meredith and Gram, Mommy went to the Doctor, had lunch with Kirsten and Leigh and dinner with Jack and Kelley. Thanks KayKay and Papa for having us!

Loving Uncle Danny's old horse!

Meredith loved Gracie!

Cousins!

We visited Pops at Cinco Ranch. All of the patients there loved the girls!

We visited Gram at her apartment too. The girls loved to dance with the singing in the rain doll

Gram had yummy snacks!

Caroline found Meredith's walker!

Jan & Feb Pictures

Here are the pictures I just got around to downloading. It seems like we have been rather busy the last few months! The girls are doing great. They love to play with each other and it so fun watching them.

Kay Kay came to Dallas to help Mommy fix up the house a little. Gracie loved watching her!
