Easter...a month late!

Haven't updated the blog in a while. There is nothing really new with us right now. School is almost over and I will have survived my first and probably only year in kindergarten! I missed second grade! I am looking forward to the summer and being home with my girl. Hopefully lots of playdates with friends!! :) Sorry so boring, but with all the crazy stuff going on in our country right now I am pretty happy to be boring! My family is healthy and happy, I couldn't ask for anything more!

On Monday, Wyatt, Care and Julia came over and we went to Joe's Farm House. If you haven't been there it is wonderful. The environment is what does it for you! All the big trees, beautiful flowers and farming make you feel like you are so not in Arizona! Plus, it's a bonus that it's right across the street from our house! It makes for a great Saturday morning walk!

Gracie is taking time to smell the roses!


These two daddies are so special to me! They love their babies so much and I love them for that.


Isn't this so pretty?!



Carolyn and I are always looking for a photo op!

Julia is teaching Gracie how to stand. Gracie has been doing a lot of that these days!

Wyatt is giving Gracie her first taste of Hawaiian sweet bread. No wonder he's her favorite!

Julia, Stetson, Gracie and Kymber...can you imagine trying to get 4 babies to take a picture?! Craziness!

Babies, babies everywhere!




Grace: "JUUULLLIIAAA, you HAVE to share!"

Grace: "Well then can I just touch it too?"




A couple weeks ago, Spencer and Jamie and Megan and Paul came over. The babies played and we ate soup, drank Italian sodas (well, the guys drank beer) and enjoyed the raining weather. I bet that'll be the last good rainy day for a long time. It was a fun night!


Easter!!!

When will it end?!

When will the drooling end?! Has anyone else ever had a really drooly baby? Gracie's drooling is so bad that she has a horrible rash on her chin and neck that will not go away. I've put everything imaginable on it, I even tried a medicated cream from the doc! But still no luck. She has to wear bibs 24/7 and I'm changing them every 1-2 hours! Can you imagine how many bibs that requires? I'm doing laundry every 2 days just for her bibs! I hate seeing that uncomfortable ichy rash on her, especially when she's tearing away at it. The bibs also cover up her cute outfits (superficial, I know). She is also to the point now where she takes the bibs off herself and it's a fight to put them back on and keep them on. I know I just have to wait the drooling stage out but when will it end? Has anyone else had a baby like this? How long did this stage last?

Pictures of Stetson and of course, Grace!

We had a great weekend! Well, actually Friday and Saturday were not to great but Sunday was nice and relaxing! Thursday night Levi and I BOTH came down with the flu! It was horrible because we were both sick at the exact same time! I finally gave up trying to be supermom and called my mom in tears, I needed help! My supermom happily came and took Gracie for the whole day (we were a little worried we wouldn't get her back) so Levi and I could rest and be sick together. It was incredibly romantic. Haha. We prayed and prayed that Gracie could somehow avoid the flu and God is so good because he kept her healthy and happy! Anyways, Sunday we went to church and had Levi's family over. It was fun to see sweet little Stetson again. Wow he is a real baby BABY! I don't think Gracie is a baby anymore compared to Stetson. He is so cute and SO boy! He's got me wanting another one already!
Meet Stetson Blake:

Clancy is such a proud little daddy!


Here's a bunch of proud little daddy's. These guys are truly amazing dads and their babies are super cute too!

I try to encourage Grace to think "outside the box" but I don't think she's getting it!

Glued to Baby Einstien. Those DVD's are great at letting me get stuff done and get ready! Do you think she's outgrown her bouncer yet?! :)
Gracie: "Don't cry Kymber, life gets a whole lot better, I promise!"

Gracie LOVES playing with her toys!
Savannah and Levi are best buds. This night the picture was taken all she wanted was Levi!




Carolyn has been feeling pretty sick being pregnant so one day we went and took Julia for the day. Gracie had Julia has so much fun at the park! Thank goodness for baby swings!
