Fun with frames

Merry digging for jewels in our sandbox.

This is Grace at 11 months. She is such a happy baby.

Just incase you didn't see enough pictures before.

Please Kiss and Hug

Another of Grace that I forgot to post. I am pretty sure she has a rock in her mouth. Maybe it will help her cut her other front tooth. Grace can take a few steps if she is really motivated, it really seems like she should be littler than this.



Grace's unusual teething pattern continues.

Books

Most weeks we visit the library. We usually check out 10 books. Usually my kids like 3 the best and we read them over and over.

These made the top 3 this week

1.  About a sad boy who gets made into a pizza.  Not appealing, the outfits his parents wear are reason alone to check out this book.  This was Jacob's favorite this week.
2.  The words "Duck billed platypus gluteus maximus" are included.  Animal bum humor is always appreciated by our family.  My only complaint is that we could only find 1 ant on one of the pages.  That is like leaving Waldo off of a page of a Where's Waldo book.
3.  Very cute, recipe-style, big sister helping book.

Please read and enjoy.

He loves me, he loves me not

Our lady banks roses are almost in full bloom

Gracie found a blossom then

carefully dissected the flower

No paparazzi please.

Gracie found a comfy spot for a nap when Uncle Dan came to visit

Bluebonnets 09

The blue bonnets have not been great this year.  We only found a small patch so we did close up shots.

I am not quite sure what to do with Jacob's hair.  I wanted to try longer but I am thinking this is not a great look for him.  We will probably have to go back to the short crew. 

Jacob's greatest life moments thus far are when he gets a new character on the Lego's star wars game and receiving a spider man t-shirt.

My favorite song Jacob sings is the Wise Man Built his House Upon the Rock.  He has slightly altered the lyrics to "the rains come down and the flowers come up."  It so appropriate for this time of year, I ask him to sing it at least 2 times a day.

Sweet Merry found one little pink primrose in all the blue bonnets and wanted me to take a picture.  Unfortunately I missed the flower.  

Gracie ate lots of blue petals.  Hopefully they are not toxic.

Jacob is a lover.  Merry and Gracie are fighters.

This is my favorite shot.  Merry has such an expressive face.

The Caballero cousins were here visiting.

I love the 2 little dolls in the blue bonnets

Almost Spring

Gracie has a big surprise

She has a little snaggel tooth on top. Hopefully the adjacent tooth catches up soon. But until it does we will mock her and call her snaggle.

We have yet to find a good patch of blue bonnets for pictures this year. Hopefully with all the rain that came this week more will come. If any one knows where a good spot is please share. Otherwise I am going to be sticking my kids in the ditch by the Valero.

Merry's forced smile with our little blue bonnet plant in our back yard.

These 2 don't look any thing alike to me.

Jacob is such a big helper. He loves to feed Gracie. Don't you love our feeding method. Mopping the floor is easier than scrubbing a high chair.

Spring is almost here in our yard. The little roses on the arbor in front of our playhouse are about to bloom. I can't force myself to prune it because I don't want to cut off any of the blossoms.
