Summer's End

Now that summer's over I thought I'd share some of the things we did.

Grace is getting an attitude

Definition - at·ti·tude: A position of the body or manner of carrying oneself: stood in a graceful attitude.

Gracie is now 14 months old and as cute as ever. She has this attitude that is just like her Mom.

Here are some words that Grace says on a daily basis:

Mama
Dada
crappy - For Scrappy our dog
Poo-Poo
Pee-Pee
Diaper
Cracker
Bubble

Grace has brought so much joy to us that it is hard to explain, even with her attitude she is the best!

Lake Powell

The day of Gracie's birthday we left her with Aunt Carli and we were off with the Barber's to Lake Powell. The first few days were stormy, so we spent quite a bit of time inside the "new" houseboat which is awesome compared to the old one that burned. Finally we have more than 1 toilet in the boat, however it's just as stinky as the old 1 was and we did have problems with the tank overflowing. Thank goodness we had a port-a-potty on the ski boat and we so close the the dump station. In this new houseboat there are also a couple of beds in the "basement", one "upstairs", and one in the back "master suite". On the top desk is lots of space and a slide too. There were 21 people on this trip including Nathan, who's birth Mom is Kelli. It was such a fun place and now we're in that let-down period after you go on vacation. We miss you Lake Powell!
However we were so excited to come back to see our baby. She's quite onery now and I'm wondering if it's because we left her for so long, but she is teething now too. Who knows?!
