More Houston Pictures






So like I said, it has been cold and rainy here, so we have been indoors a lot. With indoors have come lots of movies, books and some fun inside play with playdoh. It was good o have a good run through here to see how well Gracie played with it before I get some at home. I was very worried about my carpet and her eating it, but she did pretty good. Zach likes to smoosh it in his hands, but then it goes right to the mouth of course. She mostly likes us to make things for her and then she gets to pound them down into nothing. I think Grandpa taught her this.
We also had fun playing at a mall one day, thank goodness for indoor playgrounds! The kids also like my parent's dog, Rio. Gracie espcially likes chasing him around, which he is not happy about, but he is a very good sport when she sits on him. She misses Maxx.
So we got the opportunity to visit my family in Houston Texas for a couple of week and boy have we been having fun! They have a big house so the kids have loved having lots of room to run around, which has been a great since it has been rainy and cold here. Not that I am complaining, it has been a great break from the never ending heat of Florida.
Zach decided that an empty milk carton was more fun than any toy brought out for him.



Also walking on the dinner table was a big hit for some reason! Oh what they get away with at Grandpas house!
And lots of fun singing. Gracie loves singing, so she was not apprehensive at all about going to a new nursery while here, she saw the play kitchen and knew there would be singing, so she was sold. It is so nice hen you don't have to deal with a crying child in a new ward.
By the way, I love a little boy in overalls, they are just too cute! And my mom commented that he looked very Texan in his overalls. Now all he needs is some boots and a hat and we may have to leave him here. Although Daddy may not be too happy about that arrangement.

You've been Zach attacked!

There is not much I can say about Zach, except what a cutie! And he always has his mouth open, we say he is like a shark, just circling around looking for something to get in his mouth. Read earlier post about this little piggie! This little boy used to have major meltdowns and it was a little frustrating, but with the help of my sister we figured out that he is allergic to milk...so now a much happier baby, nut not always a happy mommy without her ice cream and yogart. But it is all worth it to get a sweet smile like this!




Our amazing Grace




We took some family pictures for Christmas and had a lot of fun playing around at the park. Which was a very good idea for the kids, fun distraction make for better pictures. These are some of my favorites of Gracie. She was having a great time, and as you can tell she is all over the place. And you have to love the polk-a-dot dress, it even has matching panties. Oh what would I do with out my little girl to dress up!

We went to Disneyworld a few days before Christmas so Stuart's mom could see all the lights and these are two of my favorite pictures from that day. It looks nice and cold right? Wrong, it was warm and humid, but at least it looked like Christmas everywhere. And Stuart and I actually got to go on a ride together! It was very fun to ride a roller coaster with my husband and not a stranger. It's pretty embarrasing when you accidently grab the arm of the person beside you!

I am dumb and can't figure out how to get the picture of Zach to turn, but I love these pictures showing my piggy children. Zach is a total pig, he will try anything and gets mad if you don't feed him fast enough. It is fun giving him new foods and a little refreshing after our picky little eater, Miss Grace. They also love to sit right in front of the fridge, which I don't really understand but probably because that is where all the action is in the house. At least they are sitting together nicely!

Some new friends for a princess




Gracie gets so excited when she sees these statues at Downtown Disney. It is fun that she thinks these are just as good as seeing the real princesses at the park and free! Now when we go though she always stops and poses waiting for me to take pictures. Oh what a ham!
