Water Girl

This year Gracie took part in our family tradition of planting flowers Memorial Day Weekend. She stirred the dirt in the pots & watered all the flowers. She will be a very good "Water Girl" this summer as she absolutely LOVES her new watering bucket. Since she likes to keep the bucket VERY FULL she makes many trips back to the hose for re-fills :) Let's just hope she does NOT over water our flowers this summer!?!?

Build-A-Bear Day At Wrigley Field

Gracie went to the Cubs game today with Mommy, Uncle Bob & Renee (Nee Nee). It was Build-A-Bear Day so we arrived at the ballpark early to ensure we'd come home with a cubby bear :) Gracie lasted 7 full innings & enjoyed cheering, clapping & giving high 5's for the Cubbies. She ditched her pink cubs hat & pink sunglasses & upgraded with Uncle Bob's. Luckily he didn't mind her pink shades :) Unfortunately the cubs lost the game in the 9th inning but are still in 1st place...yeah!!!

"How do I look?"

"A cool cubs hat too...thanks Uncle Bob!!"

A Day At The Beach

Gracie's first trip to the Oregon Coast was a success!! And heading to the beach was A MUST while visiting Kris's parents. She enjoyed the bright sunshine, walking on the sand & collecting a few shells & rocks. Although a huge wave early in our outing came a little too close for comfort & made her a little leery of getting too close to the water :( Luckily PaPa was there to ease her fears by carrying her as needed :)
