One More Birthday

The Cooper family joined us for one last birthday celebration for Grace.

Ice cream this time!

Grandma and Grandpa have outfitted Grace for the winter season with some great new clothes and Uncle Ben and Aunt Laura got Grace some crafts! She likes to play with the beads after Cooper goes to bed. Not so much make the jewelry just yet, which I'm fine with!
So Cheesy.

Aunt Monica sent Grace a camera and a neck pillow for our trips to Ohio - or just to play with ALL THE TIME. It is her very own tiny Boppy Pillow! She puts her dolls in it and sleeps with it! I don't yet have a picture of it, but I'll get one soon!

Birthday Girl!

Grace turned three on the 5th! We had fun celebrating it all weekend... and the next! When asked what she wanted for her birthday she would say, "A purple cake with pink frosting. A house with green grass behind it and blue. A TV and toys in the house and a Mini Cooper outside." That's all?! I did the best I could.

She said she liked it, but I later learned from my mom, that Grace had told her I didn't do what she wanted. Oh well! I'll try again next year! She did get this brownie, and cookies with Grandma Margaret, AND ice cream with the Cooper family! Three sets of candles! What more could she want?! I know.... grass, blue, and a Mini Cooper!!

At Grandma Margaret's...

Yum!!

Cooper enjoyed carrying around Grandma's foot rest. This is his "this is hard work - but I'm pleased with myself" look. (Grace took this picture)

"Look, Mommy! I'm in an 'L' ! "

Fall Festival

We had a good time at our annual church Fall Festival. This years theme was Hillbilly Heaven. This was as hillbilly as I could get our family as I've worked very hard to get all of the plaid out of our house these last six years!

It was the first cool day of fall, and I didn't even think about sunscreen! They both had pink faces for a couple of days! Cooper was worse off because I had worked so hard all summer to keep a hat on his head. Bad Momma!

Things That Go!

Cooper loves to read! His favorite books are Lift the Flap and this one, Things That Go. I found him in his chair reading it! He signed all the the "things" for me.

Airplane

What a cutie!!
