My Pumpkin Patch

Here are a few of the pumpkins I did today. I am almost halfway done, aren't they cute?! Gracies handprint is on the left and Wileys is on the right. Gracie helped me with all of them of course. If anybody wants a pumpkin fixed, I am here 24/7!!

A Very Special Thank You....

This past Wednesday, Emily Lorenz and Central Baptist Church held a blood drive in my name due to the Placenta Previa condition I have with Gage Carson. Emily had the same issue a couple of years ago with her little girl, and has been there for me anytime I need to talk about my bad days or to answer any questions I have. She is a GREAT friend and I am lucky to have her in my life, she is like family to us! We are very thankful, more than words can say, to her as well as Central Baptist Church. We will never forget!

Disney On Ice

Gracie is "SOOO excited" as she says, Mom is taking her and Wiley to see Disney On Ice in November. Gracie says she is going to see Minnie Mouse and watch them skate round and round and round! They will have so much fun!

They will make someone a great spouse one day!

Vacuuming with a baby on the hip, wonder where Gracie has seen that before? Wiley is growing into a great man! Any girl would be lucky to have him!

The Monkey Costume

Wiley loves anything with a monkey on it. Mom got him a little monkey before he was born and he has carried it and slept with it ever since. We knew he would be a monkey for Halloween. Gracie decided to be a ladybug. The monkey costume came today, and its so sute! I wanted to put it on Wiley but instead, Gracie got it and put it on, and kept it on all day! So Mom, being the typical spoil your grandkids get them everything under the sun nothing is too much for my babies grandmother, told me to order another monkey costume with her Old Navy card so they both had one! It will be here in 4-6 days!!

Wiley and Grace One-on-One

This past weekend, Bobby and I got to spend some one on one time with each of the kids. It worked out that way for a reason I believe. Wiley loved it, he is really talking good for his age and saying new things. The smallest thing just makes his face light up. He is the sweetest little boy. Gracie stayed up a little past her bedtime lastnight to fold clothes and talk to us. She told us how she was going to take care of Baby Gage. She said she would give him a bath, get his clothes, give him a bottle, get his diaper, and kiss him! She is such a good big sister. She was feeling Gage kick, and every kick she said "HOLE COW!"

Chick-Fil-A

Tonight we had Chick-Fil-A (I actually got to ride somewhere, I was so excited!) We went through the drive-thru and Mom and I were telling Bobby what we wanted. I asked Gracie if she wanted chicken nuggets, and she said "Yes I do!" Bobby told the guy he needed 3 #5's and Gracie yelled "AND CHICKEN NUGGETS, THATS ALL!!" We were cracking up, even the window guy got a kick out of it!

Gracies excuse...

For supper, we had a casserole that had carrots in it. Wiley was eating good until Gracie started picking the carrots out and putting them in a pile on her plate. We kept telling her to eat them, they were good, and Wiley was watching her so she needed to eat good so he would. She said "Horseys eat carrots, CiCi (as she calls herself) don't! No carrots were eaten!

Grandparents Day

We wanted to do something fun for Nini today to thank her for everything she does every single day for us and never thinks of herself. She always puts us first. We grilled hamburgers and made cookies. Gracie was so excited to give her the card, painting and especially her shirt we had made with Gracie and Wileys name on it. When Grace hears her drive up she yells "Ninis home!" and has to call her every night to say night night, Wiley runs around saying NaNa all the time! She has a special relationship with them that is unexplainable. We are lucky to have her, she is the best!

Daddys Breakfast

This morning Daddy fixed pancakes with cookie cutters. Gracie had a dog, heart and a G, and Wiley had a football, star and a W. They were a big hit!

Miss Charlotte

Charlotte is Gracies pet bunny she got for her birthday from Nini, she is spoiled rotten too. I think the bunny gets better treatment than a lot of people get! Gracie is just like I was when I was little, animal crazy! Charlotte recently got a new and bigger cage, and Gracie told her "Your house is pretty!"

Gracie and Wileys Birthday pics

Here are some of the pictures we had made around the kids birthdays.

Monkey Munch

Lastnight, we made Monkey Munch. Well, Gracie and Nini made it, I just went in long enough to take pictures and taste it! The kids don't like it right now that I am on bedrest, because while Daddy is at work everyday, we do fun and messy stuff. Thankfully Mom does it with them too so they are happy.

He's kicking her too!

Today I was laying on the couch and said "Ouch". Bobby and Mom both asked me at the same time what was wrong, I told them Gage was kicking. I wasn't the only one Gage was kicking, because Grace lifted her shirt up, rubbed her belly and said "Baby Gage is kicking me too!"

Go Vols!

Today we took our picture in our UT shirts like we do every year before the first game of the season. It gets harder and harder to get a smile out of a 1 and 2 year old at the same time! But we managed to get a few. We asked Gracie who played for Tennessee and she said "RRR RICO!" She is learning her colors and Bobby asked her what color Rico was and Gracie said "Black!" Its cute coming out of an innocent 2 year olds mouth!

Labor Day

Gracie looked very stylish in her dress for Labor Day, she picked it out by herself, she is such a girl! We told her she looked pretty in her dress and she said "I'M pretty."
