--Crazy days--

This week has been crazy trying to catch up on life. From the moment we got home I feel like we've been going 90 mph. I've been doing fun outdoor things with Gracie b/c it is supposed to snow on Monday. Cramming summer activities into one week can wear a girl out.
My sister Charity is going to come here this week so that should be fun to have her and her two adorable boys to hang out with.
School started on Wednesday. Nothing earth shattering to report about that yet. I'm only taking two classes so it is pretty chill.
Today was a quiet morning of r.c. airplanes, then a crazy afternoon of cleaning and re-arranging. Jake was a total stud and helped me get everything back in place. It feels great to have the house more in order
That is all for now!

Dr. visit


The doctors visit went well. Besides Gracie crying from the moment the nurse measured her til the moment we got into the car to leave. Not just a few tears, full blown terror, bawling her eyes out crying. For some reason she was under the impression that her doctor was Sonic Drive-In. That was a rude awakening.

Anyway, she is healthy. No worries about eating lbs of sand, dirt, chalk, and other misc non food items. So other than being traumitized by having some strange guy look in her ears, shes great!

Monique...this is for you!

Okay, here goes nothing! I'm officially starting our family blog. Here is proof that peer pressure is real:) We just got back from San Diego, California yesterday. What a great time we had! We were able to spend the weekend with Monique, Tom, Jay, Joy(Marsh), Jeremy Shelby and my sister Erika, niece Ellery, ect... It was a fun filled trip full of great friends, family, and food.
We experienced wild animals, jet skiing, sore muscles, sunburnt bodies, amazing bbq chicken, strange flashing lights in the sky, temple guards, border control guards, bottomless steak fries, full stomachs, and car crashes. Very eventful trip. Jake slept from around 3:00 p.m. til 7:00 a.m. this morning. Gracie went to bed at 8:30 last night and woke up at 10:00 this morning. It is good to be home but only because we were sick of being in the car all night. Grace wanted to know if we were going back to the beach today. I guess the 3 lbs of sand she ate didn't quite fill her up. Which reminds me that I need to take her to the Dr. tomorrow and ask if I should be worried that my 2 1/2 year old likes to eat sand by the lb. I'll let you know!
