Grandma Sharon's visit!

We were so glad Grandma Sharon was able to come visit again. We have gotten to see her 3 times this year! She arrived Friday night. Saturday morning, the 3 of us girls went to the grocery store to get stuff for the week.

Then we went to church that night. We tried to take a few family pictures before we left. 

I had to take this picture of her curls. I am so jealous! She may look just like me, but she definitely did not get those beautiful curls from me!

This is a little dock at church that Kacie loves to play on after class. She calls it her bridge.

On Monday night, we went to dinner with the McNeelys at Babe's. YUM! Kevin's mom, who is one of Sharon's best friends, was also in town.

Then the adults stood around talking outside while the kiddos ran around.

Here are some pictures of Kacie's week with Grandma Sharon

 Sharon and Kacie went to the library with Mrs. Karen one day. This is her best friend Clara.

 When they went to the playground, they saw Kacie's friend Kinley there with her mommy

When she wakes up from nap and in the morning, she lines all of her babies up and sits with them while she waits for someone to come get her up.

We love you Grandma! We will miss you!

Happy Fall, y'all!

Happy September! Here are some of my favorite pics from the month.

I just love her smile here. She was playing tea party with all her little people.

I had to take a picture of this! The middle is a play-dough cake with the Minnie & Daisy toppers fromher birthday. She gave each little doll a piece of cake and a cookie. So creative!

The McNeelys came over to watch the first Seahawks game of the year. Kacie loves playing with Lyla, Macey, and Xander.

 Another sleeping picture. I just love to see her sleep. Does she have enough babies?!

One day we went to the playground. Instead of playing on the equipment, all she wanted to do was "play picnic." This consists of having a picnic with sticks, rocks, leaves, etc.

 Cutie patootie!

Grandma Sharon is coming next week, and she will keep Kacie all week while she's here. She is not able to left Kacie very easily, so we decided to go ahead and convert her crib into her toddler bed.

 She was so excited!

 First night sleeping in her "big girl" bed. It was easy!

On September 24, I realized Kacie was 2 1/2! I needed to take a picture. She was all dressed up with heels, necklace, and purse!

Some things about my BIG 2 1/2 year old:

• She is very into closing all the doors lately.
• She has also learned the colors of the stop lights and what they represent. She loves telling us, "Stop Daddy!" or "It's green! Go, Mommy!"
• Many many times she has said out of the blue, "Mommy, I very very want a brother." 
• She can spell stop. When she sees a stop sign, we made up the little chant: "S-T-O-P! That spells stop!" Now she says it all by herself.
• She can also spell red, green, and yellow. Each color has a special song, and she knows all the words for those 3, and is working on the others. 
• Like I mentioned, she is now sleeping in her toddler bed. There have not been any problems with her going to sleep or staying in bed.
