busy, busy, busy

Things have been crazy lately, mostly because i finally finished school-so i had finals and that took up most of my time, but in the meantime our family has still had some fun.

The Johnsons took the whole family to Lagoon-which was way fun--I just love rollercoasters-anyhow we attempted to take gracie on merry-go-round and she liked it enough that we decided to take her on more rides-
Ben took gracie on the boat ride and as you can tell from her face-she was freaking out-so he buckled her in with Amare, her cousin, and then ran and hid and i took pictures from a far so she wouldn't see either of us- anyhow by the time the ride had ended she loved it and then she loved all of the rides except for puff the magic dragon-she did not care for that one-and we took her on the ferris wheel-and it was a little too tall for her liking-but overall she loved the rides-which is fun

Birthday Fun-
Gracie also had her second birthday on the 22nd of July-so i made cupcakes-which are easier for her to eat-i was interested to see if this year she would eat them-last year she wouldn't even touch the cake or anything- but this year she loved the frosting that was all she would eat-she would lick it off and then try to grab something else -it was fun
-which i guess is ok that she only wanted sugar because when we weighed her for her birthday she isn't quite 22 lbs yet- which is kind of little i think-so she could use the extra weight hahahaha


Dinosaur Park-
We got a membership to Dinosaur park and gracie loves all the dinos-anyhow it made me laugh because gracie saw all of the other kids putting their face in the picture and so she wanted to try -but unfortunately she was just a little to short -still it was funny because she tried so hard to climb up to the face hole-maybe next year hahaha

Jonas is almost 1 and I am excited to see how he handles the cake!!! Sugar is a great thing, I think. Gracie doesn't look really skinny, but then Jonas, even with his thunder thighs, weighed in the 10th percentile. Heck, if they are healthy and happy, they're good to go. I still can't get over her wink. I absolutely love it.

They should get a step stool for the dino picture!

Happy belated birthday to Gracie. And congratulations on graduating from college, you worked so hard for it. Sorry I didn't get to see you before heading to Tennessee, things got very hectic near the end of our time in Idaho. Soon things will be in order here and I'll update you all on life here in the south.

I am so glad that Gracie liked the rides because that will make our trip to Florida so much fun! Oh and happy belated anniversary.
