Whatever Works!!!!!!

Sad but true story!!! So I've been on the hunt for a bubble blow stick. You know the stick in the bubbles that you use to blow them. I lost the one we had- and NO stores seem to have bubbles right now. SO.... what did mommy find??? The end of a duster stick. HA HA!! I know- it's crazy , but it really works. Plus, Grace loves it!! She will see the bubbles under the sink and repeat, "bubble, bubble", until I pull it out. So this morning after breakfast- she played with her bubbles. I guess it cleans her tray,,,, the floor,,,, the fridge,,,,, and her various body parts!! If you catch my drift- it's a very messy time!!! BUT of course fun!!!

Water on the Window Ledge!!

Grace and Kian had some water on the window ledge. They are just so cute!!

All Done!!!

I am not sure what it is with putting her feet up..... but this is how Grace lets me know she is all done eating. She will push the tray away and push her feet out. She will then sit quietly until I wash her face and hands off. So silly!!!!

Silly Couch Fun!

Grace and Kian love to jump on the couch. They both start giggling so hard!! They sure do know how to make the best of all these snow days!!!

Window Fun

Grace is becoming my little climber. She is on the loose exploring new things to climb. She is starting to keep me on my toes. That's good though :). The more I move, the more exercise I get!!! It's snowing again- HARD!! I can't believe how much we've been getting. I feel like we're in Alaska!!!

Choo Choo

Grace loves playing with her train set. Grammy had it for her in MI during Christmas and decided to send it our way!!

I Can Read!!!

Grace and I practice her flash cards everyday. Out of about 30 she knows 22. So we will keep working on it. She is even getting the sounds down.

Giddy Up Daddy!!

It doesn't take much to please Grace. A box and a jump rope will make her day.... or night. She loves to be pulled in boxes or the laundry basket. It's cute- but mamma gets tired sometimes!! oh well- I look at it as my work out. I'm glad when Adeyiza is home to take over for a bit!!!!

What's Cooking?

Grace and I are cooking lunch!! Great Grandma made these matching aprons for us!!

Grace 1 Year

Here are a few of my favorite pictures. The photographer did such a great job. We were so excited to get them back. :)

"Take Us Back!"

This is when we were leaving yesterday morning!!! BOO HOO

Grace loved being on the balcony!!!

One afternoon while Adeyiza was at his conference- Grace and I had yogurt and guacamole!!! She loved it!

After her shower!!! So fresh and so clean!

She loved these BIG beds!!!

See??? Grace is in the shade!!! Can you guess where Mommy is????

The Beach was beautiful!!! She wouldn't sit in the sand- but she loved watching the waves come up to shore. "Wawa Wawa!" Is what she kept saying. (which means water!)

Daddy taking a break to hang out with us!!

This was the hot tub. She LOVED sitting in it and catching the bubbles. She was of course a charmer !!!! Everyone would say how cute she!! She would smile and even laugh at them. SOOO Cute!!

She is my little fish. She LOVES the water- and HATES to get out!!! We will swim for a while in her floaty- then she will want to get out and kick and kick. I try to teach her all I know about swimming. I know she would stay in the water all day if she could. The pool was nice- a bit chilly for me, so I rotated it with the hot tub. Wow- I want to go back already!!

She loves staying in Hotels. She is sooooo happy the whole entire time.

I was getting her used to her floaty. I guess these pics are a little backwards. But- all is well.

Come on mom!!! I want to go swimming!

This was the first Hotel we stayed at with a crib!! It was so nice to have her sleep in it. OK- so she did end up with us later in the night- but she always starting in it at least!!!

That's all I have for now. We had a great time. She did soooo good on the airplane- that she even got compliments from people. She is becoming such a great traveler. I can't wait for the next trip!!
