Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday, Grace!!

Well, this is a new record even for me.... I can't believe it's been 6 months since I've posted something on our blog. Obviously lots has happened over the last 6 months, but it is WAY too overwhelming to try and catch up on all of it, so let's just start in October. :) This month Grace turned 3-years-old!! I can't believe it! Lots of pictures from her big celebration at the end. And, the obvious October update... Halloween!! Our little lady bug had quite a good time.

Since it was just yesterday, we'll start with Halloween Pictures. Grace had SOOO much fun trick-or-treating with her buds, Keegan and Reese. They were so cute together. By the end of the night they finally caught on to saying, "Trick Or Treat," when the door opened. At first, all Grace wanted to say as soon as someone opened the door was, "I'm a ladybug!" :)












Here's some pictures of pumpkin carving at the O'Connor House. :)




Last weekend we also went to a Halloween Party with our squadron that was lots of fun. Did you know that I am married to super hero? He's pretty cute, huh?!? :)


Two very cute girls sword fighting. :)

Ahh.... much girlier!


Cameron and Superman




Some of the Daddy's were REALLY good sports!

And lastly, Grace Celebrated her 3rd Birthday this month. I can't believe she's getting so big. She had two birthday parties. One was with her cousin, Kathryn (who turned 1-year-old) and one with her friends. Her friend party had an ocean theme. We made octopus hotdogs and went "fishing" for treat bags. It was a lot of fun!




And, on to the friend birthday party....


Octopus hotdogs :)






If you made it this far... the last picture is just because it's so cute! :)
Thanks for checking our blog... even after ALL these months!

Happy Easter!

Just couldn't resist posting the bunny ears. :) I think my Mom can really pull them off too!

Easter was SO much fun this year! Grace had a ball looking for Easter eggs in the backyard, and went crazy when she found her Easter basket. She had been telling us all week that the Easter bunny was going to bring candy canes. Luckily, she was not disappointed to find jelly beans instead. In fact she must have screamed over and over, "I love jelly beans! They are my favorite!" :) It was a riot.
As you can see my parents were here visiting, and they enjoyed Grace so much! (and helped me potty train, which was a big plus!!) They bought Grace her very own big girl potty.


The day before Easter, we had a surprise visit by Grace's baby cousin, Kathryn, whom we all adore. She is full of giggles and smiles these days. :) Don't you want to just kiss those cheeks??


And lastly, on Monday Grace had her first Ballet Class. She's taking a short 6-week class at our gym. She LOVED it!!
