Pool Time!

So I finally decided to grin and bare (literally) swimsuit season and get myself into one. We had not taken Grace to the pool yet and we KNEW she would love it, so I gave in. We even got her one of those baby floats and she thought she was queen of the castle (or pool in this case). Be cautious of the baby cleavage..its pretty sexy




Also, I got Kimball a mini pool table for Fathers Day and we have played about 6 games of 15 ball, and 5 games of 9 ball. I have YET to lose in 15 ball (regular pool) but have lost 3 times in 9 ball. For anyone that knows me, I am SUPER competitive and Kimball has learned to adore me for it. I always get so excited when I win and he just laughs at me. Isn't that cute!? Anyway, here are some shots of the table, and Grace checking it out!

Recent Travels

Us hanging out in Silver City, NM


We are blessed to spend a lot of time together because of Kimball's job. He only ends up working about 10 days a month. So, we decided to take advantage of that and head to New Mexico to visit some of Kimball's friends from when he use to live there. First we stopped off in Hubbard, AZ to visit Grandpa and Grandma Butler's grace.


Then we headed to NM and stayed at the McDonald's, who are like adoptive g-parents. Jerry taught Kimball to ranch and he was lucky enough to spend his summers there as a ranch hand. It was nice to get away from everything - they have no TV, no neighbors, and no Walmart. We admire them greatly for their tenacity and hard work. I also got to feed the horses and pet them, still have yet to RIDE one though. Maybe next time we go...



Then we went to visit Kimball's school friend, Wayne and his family. They have 2 little boys who just ADORED Grace. We had such a good time and are excited for our next adventure!!

It happened so fast!!

So I realized I have not blogged lately...what a slacker I am. Things are going well over here in hot hot Arizona. Dont have much time but wanted to update on our little girl! Grace is already 9 months old! Its hard to believe that in 3 months she will be ONE!!!! We went to the Dr and of course he gave her his stamp of approval. And her stats...drum roll please.... 21.3 pounds, 29 1/4 inches, 47 cm head - doing all the things she is suppose to (but really taking her time on crawling...). She is a HAPPY happy baby and sleeps a good 10-12 hours at night. Yeah, its the BEST. For all of you who know us, we LOVE our sleep. Looks like our little one enjoys it as well. We are so grateful to have her in our family and know she will continue to be a joy as she grows into a little lady! We love you Grace Olivia!


LOVES to be outside!


Working on crawling...just 'rockin' here


My favorite girl, look at that smile!!

Day at the Beach

Always gotta get a pic by the SEAL!




She's not too sure about it..



We went to visit Mom and Dad in CA...again. This time we went to the beach so Grace could feel the sand in her toes and wind in her hair (the little she has). It was TONS of fun.
