Boating with the Anderson's

Cute friends Nora Jane and Ava!

Cute Nora Jane...my little Disney Princess

Daniel's cousin on the Pace side recently got married, and Anne Marie hosted the bridal shower.  Grandmother Pace chose a Beauty and the Beast theme for the shower, because the bride's middle name is Beauty.  So when Anne Marie and Annalisa found this at the party store they couldn't resist.  Nora Jane of course loves it!

More Zoo

Since the kids and I get a little bored of one another at the zoo...I decided to switch it up a little this week, and take two of my cute Young Women, Katie and Sarah.  We had an awesome time, it was nice to have other people there to entertain my kids, while I took care of Graydon.

Girl's Camp

There are many reasons that I love my little Graydon...but getting out of going to Girls Camp this summer is now at the top of the list! :)  Three other leaders, two of which just had babies in June, all drove up together for Visitors night.  This is how the car situation turned out; Melissa and myself in the front seats. The three babies, Annalise, Graydon and Quinton, took up the middle seat, and then the two other mom's, Megan and Esther in the back seat.  It was sort of comical...but all three babies slept soundly going and coming.

As soon as we arrived at the camp the Young Women ran and literally climbed on my car and began fighting over who got to hold which baby.

The girls were more than excited to strap on the baby bjorns and hike over to the Stake devotional.

We had a very yummy dutch oven dinner, followed by the Stake nightly devotional and then ward testimony meeting.  By the end of the evening, after a beautiful testimony meeting with all the girls, leaders and the bishopric, it reminded me of why Girls Camp is so wonderful and I'd be happy to go again without the kids sometime.  It will still be an adjustment to stay in tents and cook all our own food, from my Girls Camp experiences in Ohio.  Cabins with full bathrooms in them, cafeteria for all meals, and a pool...but 4 days away from the kids....it may be worth it! :)

Graydon's rolling over!

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that people who had babies about the same age as Graydon were talking about how their babies were rolling over.  I thought, Wow, I don't think Graydon's even close to that, but I guess that's just because when he's not eating, he's in his bed sleeping.  I was happy to just keep enjoying all the sleep.

But in the last couple of weeks, I have laid him on his play mat while I make dinner, and he really can move around quite a bit, and in the last week and half or so, has started working really hard to roll over.

On Sunday, at Grandma and Grandpa's, this was as far as he got, and then he fell sound asleep.

Today, its about all he wants to do is roll all the way over to his tummy and hang out for awhile.

Love you Graydon Monkey....and all your sleeping! :)

This Aint Our First Rodeo....

...Well okay, it was Graydon's first rodeo. :)  Daniel and I were invited to go to the Oakley Rodeo, by a friend who's company was a sponsor.  We went to the Thursday night rodeo, and had VIP parking, and entrance to the Hospitality room, with lots of food.  We left the kids home with a sitter.  It was such a fun date night!!  We found out on Tuesday night, that Daniel's good friend (and mine now too) Jessie Clissold was singing at the Rodeo Friday night.  We know that the Oakley rodeo is a very popular one and typically sold out months in advance.  On our way home Thursday night, we decided we'd really like the take the kids and go Friday night to hear Jessie sing.  So the next morning I got online to try and find tickets on KSL Classifieds...and found out they weren't sold out yet.  So we bought tickets and went up again.  We all had so much fun!!  And we were all excited to hear Jessie sing.  It honestly brought tears to my eyes to hear her sing our National Anthem, and it was a great way to celebrate the 4th!

We're all ready to buy our tickets for next year!!
