I am so thankful for my family. This year was a great and exciting year. Most of all I am blessed to have Danny work so hard for Gracy and I. We have done alot in 2009, Became Business owners, worked on our house ( alot ), We both were able to play some of our favorite sports for a season, got new church callings, most of all we learned so much about being parents, Believe me I still have alot to learn about playing the roll of Mommy, but I do know that I love it and have never been more excited and proud of my baby girl. She is hilarious. Just the other day I was upset and frustrated and she was being a stinker and out of no where she ran over to me and I picked her up.....she laid her little head on my shoulder and patted my back saying Mamma. It just made me cry harder. Those moments I wont forget. I love my life and everyone I am blessed to have in it :) Im excited to continue the happiness into 2010!

Halloween 09

Halloween was so much fun this year, This is Gracy's Second Halloween but first to actually go trick-or-treating. She was so hilarious. Just cheesing it up the entire time. What a doll. She had been insisting on wearing her monkey outfit the entire week, and never got tired of it lol.

My dad got his weird mask out and it didn't even faze Gracy....she was just a little confused that Grandpa suddenly looked like that. lol.

Yup I got Danny to dress up......I think Hell must have froze over. :) He was a really good sport. I went as Jem and the rockers .......Gracy was the cutest little monkey ever and Danny.....of course was Elvis. :)

Gracy loves her cousin Luke....(second cousins) she just clung onto him every second she could. He is such a good little boy. Its so fun to see the family.

This picture makes me laugh.....its the fearless monkey escaping into the wild wilderness alone and unafraid :) lol. My favorite.

The Halloween pajama's.....she would throw a temper tantrum when i tried to take them off.....she sure likes them.....looks like we might be wearing them until christmas time.

She is starting to let me curl her hair latley .... its sooo cute for about 15 minutes lol.

Helpin Dad!

Danny and Gracy got the leaves all cleaned up last night , good thing to because we woke up to snow on the ground !!! I love these pictures. This just goes to show how much of a Daddies girl she is. I am a little jealous :)

Danny's Ankle

Danny had a little accident during flag football last Tuesday. He sprained his ankle and is starting to feel much better. I kept telling him he needed to stay off of it for at least a day but of course he headed to work the next day. barley being able to walk on it. when are they going to learn that the WIFE knows best....oh well, Ive heard it takes them at least to your 25 anniversary to get that far in a relationship bahahaha.

SPONGE CURLERS

I remember growing up using those spongy curlers as a little girl and even remember falling asleep chewing gum and my mom cutting the entire curler out. Those memories were the best :) I thought i would try it out on Gracy's hair. She looked so stinkin cute with them in. Unfortunately she pulled them out before her hair dried. She is getting to be such a big girl. She talks up a storm even if its gibberish. Sometimes she walks into the room with my purse hung on her shoulder and my phone up to her ear, she's such a girl :) My favorite picture is the last one :)

Volleyball and Flagfootball!

I just thought I would post before the weekend comes. Danny just started Flag football and is completely loving it. He even went and got himself these ridiculously flashy cleats (sp?) they are bright red, he thought they were pretty cool. I am having a blast on my Volleyball league. My good friend Brooke is doing it with me and we are loving it. Its amazing how a little activity can change allot of things for the better. Danny and I both feel better and have loved getting back into shape. Although Danny did break his finger last game he is even more excited to go back and play harder.....I really need to post a picture of it. Its pretty huge and colorful. He is of course the star of the game, always pulling off crazy TD and receiving and throwing amazing passes. I have never been that "star" athlete but Ive loved to play sports, so its really fun to see Danny just blow everyone away. He is seriously a natural, just walks onto the field and has a good time. I am a proud wife on the sidelines :) I just hope he doesn't break anything worse than a finger. Although he is an amazing athlete he is also extremely accident prone. I have to remind him to "BE CAREFUL"

I knew it!!!!!!

So I was looking through Danny's genealogy records and found this picture........I should have known since he has this fascination with Sasquatch and plus....if you know Danny he does have a few animal like qualities. So all in all.....Danny is related to Sasquatch.

just a few pix from Denver.

Denver vacation!

Labor Day weekend Danny and I headed out to Denver to meet my sister and brother in law half way in Denver CO. We had such a blast. We went to the Denver aquarium and just had a good time with the whole family together. The girls are hilarious to watch. Their personalities are really starting to show. I Forgot how much I miss my family being together, late night games good restaurants and just being around my crazy family is my favorite thing in the world. Our rooms at the Hyatt were soo accommodating and surprisingly nice for the price we paid. the only set back was the ride to Denver and the ride back....super Gracy blowouts. Im so glad I packed a bunch of garbage bags so i didn't have to throw any clothes away lol. A much needed get-a-way for everyone. Plus We were all missing Tiff, Ryan and Bailey, it was fun to see them. The weekend ended to fast!

Waiting to eat at the White Chocolate resturaunt. ........ it was good but my favorite was the Claim jumper!!

Gracy's famous look.

sting rays

The girls outside of the sponge bob ride

So Exhausted.

Gracy was pretty intrigued with the walking shark

She made it through the kid tunnels all by herself.....like she owned the place lol.

Gracy didnt really let anyone haul her arround except danny. She loves her dad so much.

they had fish in the ceiling

Gracy and Grandpa Rico.

Gracy would poke her head up out of her porta-crib and say "dada dada dada..Book....dada" I love this picture.
