First Half of Spring Break

Saturday morning we went up to Nana and Pop's to visit them and had a fun filled time. Ben and his Dad went to a BYU basketball game Saturday night. On Sunday we had a big dinner with all of the cousins. Gracie loved all of the commotion and fit right in. She even learned how to stand up all on her own without pulling up on to anything. (Hopefully this means she's getting even closer to walking...I hope so.) Monday night we went to a Mavericks game. Tuesday we took Gracie to the Gainsville Zoo and that night had a nice dinner at the Petroleum Club. It was so nice to have Ben around stress free.


Gracie loves this car, especially when Ben pushes her really fast. It's cute to see her hands on the wheel and her bobbing up and down. I definitely would recommend this for kids.
Nana and Gracie were inseparable. If Nana was around Gracie wanted nothing to do with anything but her. I remember when she used to be attached to me and I looked forward to this day. However, now that it's here, it made me a little sad. Her and Nana are good buddies.

The food at the Petroleum Club was amazing as well as the company. We had fondue, then soup, then bread and salad, then a pallet cleanser (sorbet), then the main course (I ordered Mahi-Mahi), and last dessert. We left very full.

It looks like you guys had a fun time. I really like that last picture of you and Ben. Also, we have that car push thing, (I don't know what you call it) so Gracie can enjoy it when you come to visit. I'm sure Allison would be more than happy to push her! And probably really fast too!

I love all your pictures Em. Gracie's hair in the car picture looks like it is blowing in the wind when really it just sticks out like that. She is so cute and she's looking so much older.

I love the pics and it sounds like you guys had a great time. Gracie looks so much bigger and older...we can't wait till you visit CA.

We loved having you all here and getting the chance to visit with you.  The best was watching Gracie learn to stand up on her own.  Maybe we will get to see her learning to walk this upcoming weekend!
