We spent Memorial Day weekend at Nana and Pop's. Gracie is getting to the age where she is really enjoying the ranch and all it has to offer.
Ben and Pop spent lots of time taking Gracie on go-cart rides. She loved being outside, even though it was so hot and was not affected by any allergies like Ben and me.
She loved seeing all of the cows and horses. She would point every time she saw one. Ben and Gracie were up close looking at the cows and she saw one going to the bathroom. She just pointed and said "uh-oh, uh-oh".
We went swimming a couple of times and her favorite part was going down the slide with Ben. Before they even hit the water she would be signing more. We know she's going to have a fun time in Cancun in a couple weeks.
She mostly enjoyed all of the commotion when her cousins were all together. They were all very sweet to her.
This picture is funny to me because it is at the end of a long day. You can see how happy Gracie is in it, but anyone else who saw her that day would say otherwise. While Ben and I were at the temple for his cousins wedding, we had another cousin watch Gracie outside. It was only for an hour, but when we came out Grace was screaming and took a while to settle down. Someone else was holding her because the poor girl that had her was in the bathroom crying herself. Grace made the poor girl cry because she wouldn't calm down. I felt so bad. That afternoon a babysitter came over during Gracie's nap while we went to the luncheon. After 3 calls from the sitter we left to come home early. We walked in the door to find both Gracie and the sitter crying. Once again I felt so bad. How could Gracie make 2 babysitters cry in one day? Grace is not usually left with a sitter ( especially who she doesn't know) unless she is asleep, because when Ben gets home he wants to spend time with her. Poor girls who watched her. Hopefully one day she will grow out of it.

How fun! I know, going to the ranch is like going to the zoo for kids...and the best part for us it that it is free!! That is also sad about the babysitters- Halle did that and we decided that was when we needed to start leaving more!! (sad huh?)
Em, I think you got your holidays mixed up! But I'm glad you had fun anyway. Gracie is brave going down that slide. She should have lots of fun going down the Merkely's slide when you come in a month!! Cute pictures.
Great pics! I love the story of Gracie saying uh of when she saw the cow poop. BTW, good luck getting babysitters...stories like that spread like wildfire ;).
We loved seeing you guys! Grace is adorable and I'm glad she's a little firecracker just like all of her cousins!
So funny that she ran off not one but two babysitters. You really need to write that down. How can such a cute little girl do that? Looks like you had a great time in Denton.
aw fun! i cant believe you were near my house the same weekend I was at yours! I love you em!
Her hair is getting so long! Kaiya has never been left with any one besides my mom and my sister-in-law. I guess my day is coming.
