Happy Birthday Pop!
We celebrated Pop's birthday this Sunday with a family dinner at our house. Even Ji came. I guess I haven't posted but Ji did move out a 2 weeks ago. He's back living at his apartment with a new roommate and doing well. He's back working again at SMU and taking English classes as well! It was great to see him!
Kelly grilled out hamburgers. It was in the 70's that day so spring/fallish weather!
This was Kelly "monitoring" the kids and being the pool police!
The kids table! Our dining room table really only holds 8 comfortably. We had the kids sit behind us. Maxum loves hamburgers! He asked if Kelly could come live at his house and make him hamburgers!
Helping Pop open presents.
Ji was there too!

Gracie was very excited to have her cousin Maxum come over to play. She's been asking just about every 5 minutes!

Saturday Fun
Saturday was a fun day. Gracie had a friend's birthday party to attend at Chuck-E-Cheese. She has never been there before! She chose a super cute outfit and I snapped a few pics before she left.
Here she is with her BFF, sister! She loves this baby to pieces! It's one of her 2 must have around at all times baby.
The best part for me was that Kelly took her to the party all by himself (his idea) for the 1st time ever! I had 2 whole hours to myself at the house. It was divine! I mostly cleaned house and did laundry but it was still super nice! Kelly sent me this text from the party. She's riding in a car with Samantha, her good friend from school.

After the party they came back and picked me up for some Saturday errands. We headed to Cavenders Boot Store. Kelly had never been. Gracie and I bought on our cowgirl boots so we would fit in! I found this super cute hat for her to try on for a picture. It was way too big but still cute!
Kelly said he was not, no way, buying boots but low and behold he did! He loves them. I said we were all ready to go out 2 stepping!!
Ha! Here she is with her other must have baby. Baby Maxum :)

Growing Up
It seems Gracie is getting taller and bigger just as we blink these days. We love to watch old videos (on youtube) of her and I just can't believe how little she was. It's so easy to forget!
She actually loves to be my little model. I do take lots of pictures of her but it's just because I want to remember what she's like right now, this very moment. This day was after Christmas and leaves were everywhere. She had a blast running and jumping in the leaves. She loves, loves, loves to hide behind the tree and try to scare me!
These pictures were taken before Sunday school one morning (right before we had to call 911 for smelling gas!) There was a big squirrel out on the tree and Gracie loved watching him.
Every day is not perfect and she does drive me crazy sometimes but I really wish I could bottle her up! She's full of energy and life! Our little girl is growing up!

The Joys of Home Ownership
Being a homeowner is so fun, right??? Most times it great until something breaks. This past Sunday morning this is what we had at our house around 8:20 in the morning...
So not really this truck but we did have to make a fun phone call to 911 Sunday morning. We were all smelling gas. I called to ask my Dad about it and GG said "Call 911 RIGHT NOW!" They told us to immediately get everyone out of the house. We latched Jack up, got our coats on and came outside and the fire truck was turning on our street. A serious perk to having the fire department about 2 blocks away- they get there fast when you need them! After a few minutes they found our problem. Our furnace was lighting but not catching so gas was leaking out. Lovely. Turns out we need a whole new furnace and we should have it by Tues. afternoon. We do have a home warranty so we get about 50% of it paid for but still we have a huge chunk we have to pay out of pocket. We just love spending our $$ on things we can't see!! It wasn't bad last night but today it as been super cold and raining here so it's very cold in here now. We're all wearing our jackets. I have on 2 pair of pants, 2 pair of socks, slippers, a long sleeve t, a short sleeve t, sweatshirt, and a jacket!!! Luckily GG and Pop offered to let Gracie stay with them. It's just too cold. We've had the fire place going and small space heaters so we're fine. I feel sorry for Ji. It's his last night with us and all this stuff is breaking! Ji is going back to his apartment again and will no longer be living with us but we will still see him. I said he's probably ready to have some peace and quiet!!
So this picture is in the Walmart parking lot where we saw the fire truck after church. Yes, Gracie has a balloon in her mouth. She'd been really good in the store so she got balloons. She loves blowing them up! Seeing the firetruck made me realize I was so frantic that morning that I didn't take a picture of Gracie by the fire truck that came to our house. The funny thing about Gracie is that she really didn't go crazy that the fireman were at our house. Probably most boys would be going crazy with excitement. She was just concerned about her babies. She had grabbed 3 on our way out the door!!
Our house has 6 lovely sky lights. We knew they were the originals and would have to be replaced. Let me just tell you that sky lights are NOT cheap. We did get pretty decent prices on them and got 3 new ones this weekend along with tons of work done on our roof. Not shingles but roof work on the pipes. The men were here 4 hours on Saturday doing this stuff. The new sky lights are really pretty. We can actually see out of them now...
Sunday night we had storms roll in so along with new heat we were up hearing the storms. Then we come out to get ready and see one of the new sky lights has leaked. Lovely. We are just full of luck I tell you. Not easy fixes for this either.
And this next one... Just to remember where she is right this second. She's completely obsessed with these footie pj's of Maxum's. She found them in the closet at my parents house a few weeks ago and refuses to wear anything else to bed!!
And this is the greatest... doesn't ever Daddy with a daughter have a pic like this???
Gracie dressed up her Daddy with her dress up clothes. She kept saying "Daddy, you are a fairy!" Ha, we were dying laughing!!!

Molly is 1!
We attended a fun birthday party today. It was Molly's 1st birthday. Her parents rented out the carousel at the mall and the kids had it all to themselves! What a great idea.
Molly was a very good girl with her cake. She wasn't quite sure what to do but her Mommy helped her try some.
Nicole, Stefani,, and I have known each other since 6th grade! It is so fun to talk about the dreaded middle school memories :)
Happy Birthday Molly Joy! We hope all your birthday dreams come true.
