More Funnies

I am trying to document Gracie's (and eventually Mallary's) funny comments, etc. so that I will have them...

Saturday night
Alan: Gracie, why did you pee pee in the floor?
Gracie: Because I LOVE YOU Dada...(how are we supposed to get mad at her with that reply)


I was brushing Gracie's hair and she said how do I look and I said beautiful. She then wanted to brush my hair and did and I said how do I look and her reply "Distinguished". Now how does a 2 year old know that word...

Gracie Funnies

Gracie: "mommy"
Mommy: "yes"
Gracie: "I'm so glad you're my big brother"


On the way to the farmer's market today (Gracie interpreted as "old macdonald's farm" and proceeds to sing many rounds of the song on the way)
My favorite animals he had on his farm included: a whale (splash, splash here, splash splash there) and a dolphin (squeak, squeak here, squeak squeak there) and a SCARLET MACAW (squawk, squawk here, squawk, squawk there). This isn't the first we've heard of the scarlet macaw - apparently it's her favorite bird thanks to "Go Go" (Go Diego Go show)

Elaine's Shower

Well, Baby Drew is all set when he arrives!!! Elaine's baby shower on Saturday was Fabulous and she is fully stocked with anything and everything she could possibly need or want! How fortunate she is to have such loving friends and family to shower her with such wonderful gifts! There was a great turnout and the hostesses did the best job! (Ha Ha...I was a hostess, but my other helpers outdid themselves!)

P.S. Thanks to everyone who chased my kiddies around during the shower! They had on cute matching outfits but this is the only picture I ended up with them together. This was later after the shower and they are worn out! Too much party for them

Putt Putt

We had a fun Sunday School family night the other night playing putt putt. Gracie was a wild woman and was all over the place. She took a few putts here and there, but mostly ran all over the place like she owned it! She had fun with her friends that were there.










My sweet little Mallary has started sleeping through the night! I consider it official since she has done it for a week straight now! Woo Hoo!! She has started letting out little laughs now and then. I LOVE it!


She loves the bar on her bouncer now! She knows if she grabs those birds it will start singing and lighting up!!

Our Little Fellow

Ever since Mallary was born, Gracie has affectionately referred to her as a "him" or "he" or "little fellow". I crack up everytime she does it. She knows Mal is a girl and her sister, but we hear these phrases quite often.

He's so precious
Can I hold him
I love him
What a cute little fellow
That's my boy!

We tell her she, her, girl, etc. However she chooses the use the male pronouns for "him" and I just have to laugh.




And for some interesting family news....one of our cousins has become a published author! Mom was in Ohio this week visiting and had a lake day with his parents, grandparents and sister and they shared his news about his book. Pretty neat! Here it is.

My Little Fishies!

Saturday TJ, Laura and Anna Kate had us over to TJ's parent's house for a day of fun in the sun! Thanks Mrs. Kathy for letting us spend the day at your pool! It was a beautiful day and all the kids had so much fun playing and swimming. Mallary even enjoyed sleeping in the screened in porch under the ceiling fan.

On Sunday MeMe and MoMo stopped in Decatur on their way home from visiting Grammy and JJ. We met them at yummy Big Bob Gibson's for some lunch. Next weekend is Andrew's baby shower and we can't wait to give him lots of presents. Summer school starts tomorrow for Gracie and potty training is going quite well. Every day gets better.
