Museum with cousins :)
Yuba Trip!
We love our annual Yuba trip! This year was a little rough, Gracie and I came down with strep throat and the lake was covered in gross algae. We didn't swim, but we still enjoyed kayaking and playing games!
The kids love to ride bikes and scooters around the loop!
This was the day we got back from Yuba. There was a young single adult gathering at our temple and they did a 5k through our neighborhood. Jeff went out to get me ice cream for my throat and sat on the porch taunting them all with his shake haha! The amount of them asking for a bite as they ran by was hilarious.
Saratoga Springs Temple Dedication
Such a special day to take our two oldest to the temple dedication! President Eyering spoke and offered a special blessing on the youth that would enter this temple. I can't believe my kids will be able to walk over whenever they want. We are so blessed! I know they are being watched over.
Last few days of Summer....
Raspberry picking, family nights, new school shoes, Ellie outgrew her old bike, and water parties with friends.
First day of School!
Ellie is in 3rd, Rylee 1st, Boston 5th, and Pre-K for Gracie!
Roberts Family Birthday Party at Cherry Hill!
We love this tradition! So much fun with cousins! Thanks Grandma and Papa!
Gracie probably rode this slide 50 times. No joke. We went over and over and over. She had a blast!
Gracie's Birthday!
She invited some nursery friends to a splash pad for cupcakes.
((And when you completely match your friend, down to the shoes and shoulder bag, you have to take a picture :))
Gracie's two best friends are both named Jane :)
Happy Birthday sweet Gracie!
Gracie is sweet and kind and super soft spoken. Until you get her out of her shell. She pulls the most hilarious faces and will do anything to get us laughing. She inherited a lot of her humor from her dad and brother, so if there is a poop/fart/butt joke, she's all over it.
She loves to dance and always dances like no one is watching. And then when she notices she's being watched, she dances even harder :) She loves her blankie and binkie (we're planning on letting her have it through her tonsilectomy) She always has to give us a hug and kiss before we leave. She loves nuggets with "Boston's favorite sauce" (chikfila sauce) and the Flash, and always tries to run super fast like the flash. She loves bike rides swimming and has NO FEAR when it comes to the pool.
She loves to help me cook and has the cutest freckles ever. She loves her scooter and will scooter super fast around the neighborhood. She loves to cuddle me, sing primary songs, read books and play with her "Bosty Boy." And he would literally fly her to the moon if she asked. I love watching those two together.
She thinks she's big like her sisters and tries to talk like them. Her new favorite word is "actually." For example, when watching a villain in a movie, she'll say: "I. Actually. hate that guy." It's my favorite! She told Jeff the other day: "You can't tell me what to do." haha!
Fun with Friends
Gracie's Tonsilectomy
We've been waiting for Gracie's 3rd birthday so we could get her tonsils out (without an overnight stay at the hospital for those under 3) Her tonsils were massive. The doctor couldn't believe how big they were and said her adenoids were obstructing 95% of her airway. I will miss her snore! But we're happy she can breathe now. She did great. She was super sad coming out of surgery, but otherwise did amazing, and recovered great!
The nurses gave her lots of presents! And she got a wagon ride to the truck.
Grandpa came to see her and cuddle her after surgery! Yay, this is what it feels like to breathe!
