Gracie's Blog

I just put up a new post on Gracie's blog.

Gracie...6 months old

I haven't done a Gracie Update for a while...so I thought we were due.
What can I say about her, except that she is an ABSOLUTE JOY!
I couldn't have asked for a sweeter natured last baby...



She is almost al
ways happy,
and to her wonderful smiles, she has added belly laughs...
To almost anything you do....
(It's great...she makes you feel like your funny!)



She is going to be highly active thou
gh...
already, although she can't crawl,
she tries to get off o
f my lap,
and head off to what ever is interesting to her.

She is sitting, which
is nice,
because now I can put her in the play pen with toys,
which gives her lots to do,
and also saves her from the wrath and co
nstant loving of big brother...



She loves anything exciting...
so much that we have started to call her adventure girl...LOL
She tires daddy out tossing her arou
nd,
and the park is an exciting place..
(even when she is turning blue with cold)

-it was colder then we thought....
She also loves books, big brother and her jumparoo...

The last week she has been a little grumpy for her...

...teething stuff....
I am hoping she has an easier time then Jeremy d
id...



So far, we are really loving watching her personality emerge daily...
She seems to have quite the mischeivious streak in her..
(wonder where that came from)

Unfortunately, we had to quit nursing this time,
at five months, '

which broke my heart, but there was nothing there..

She is doing great on the bottle though,
and weighs as much as Jeremy did at a year...LOL!
We started her on cereal at 5 months,
she seemed to like it, and also liked carrots. (disliked peas)

and then all of a sudden just quit eating!
We are still offering it,

but for the last week and a half hasn't eaten anything!

Again, I can't stress how great she is...
After all...look at this
sweet little face...

Breanne gets a Tatoo!!!!

Against my better judgement, we signed and let Breanne get a tattoo...(after having the owner show us his setup...) He even dragged out three of his customers so I could see his work...LOL
Personally I think she is nuts...When this is done, it is going to have cost over $1000 dollars...
I can think of sooo many things I could use that kind of money on..LOL...

Oh..to be 16...

The tattoo will be really cool when it is done though...
I don't know if you can tell yet because the lettering isn't filled in yet,
but it will say Jones, and there will be seven stars around it..
One for Kendal and I,
and then five stars...one for each of her siblings....
I told her I hoped it hurt...LOL!

(it did...)



Jeremy was quite fascinated with the whole thing when Bree showed us,
He looked at her back..and said..
"What's that?"
Bree..."sister has a tattoo..."
Jeremy...."a too?"

Then he proceeded to go get his camera
and try to take pictures of the "too"
I wonder whose child this is? LOL!

CRAP and CRAP and CRAP.
I know my MIL thinks this is a swear word..
so to her I am sorry,
but it had to be said.
It is just that kind of day...

I woke up all excited this morning,
because I have been looking forward to
taking my little boy to the Science Center...

I have been trying to do this for two weeks,
but something always interferes.
We tried a couple of weeks ago,
but it turned out they closed way sooner then we thought..
and so we couldn't go.
Last weekend Kendal had to work.

This morning started out well enough..
We had to bring the car in for a tune up,
and we were supposed to have it back by lunch...
In between, we were supposed to go for breakfast,
and then come home and clean our rain gutters,
and then off to the science center.
Easy right?

Well....
during breakfast I get a call
and it turns out that what I thought was an oil leak,
was actually the Transmission lines,
and since we had no choice about doing that,
it was decided that we may as well tune up our tranny as well...
We also had a leaking tire,
and the tune up actually needed quite a bit.
It has been a long time
$1000 later...and now
it is 3 pm
and our car is just done.
We really don't have time now for the Science center
since it closes at 6pm...
and we couldn't wash our windows cause
our ladder wasn't big enough...
and we are still going to have to put out more money
cause our battery still needs to be done.

sigh...
Some days, you should stay in bed.

I am sooooo tired the last two weeks...
I don't know why...
It isn't like I have a toddler and 6 month old...
who decided to wake me up at five this morning..
Even so, I am far more tired then I should be...
maybe I am fighting off a cold.
again.
