Some Random Photos...

If they made this in my size I would totally wear it!

Lounging...Funny thing, she put these chairs together & did this on her own.


She still loves to play in the kitchen sink.

Silly face...

Loves makeup!

and Shelby & Monkey

One morning at 7am, was randomly inspired to stick her chef hat on & go sliding!

Loves to read...

Another silly trick, taking out the sink & getting inside. No bubbles in this one!

Gracie & Jack ~ they have a few things in common, one is being nudy!

Are those the cutest tooshies, or is that wrong? :)

I heart this dress!

And I double heart these legs! I love to squish & bite them! So cute.

First paint job! Not bad!


My sweet princess

Second paint job in action! Jen, I know you're freaking out at this! Did she drop the bottle? Is she gonna get it on the sofa? The carpet?

See? She's showing you what a perfect, clean job she's done! And take a look at those toes, poor baby, this was during the summer, I can't keep shoes on the girl & she scuffed them up a few times pretty bad. But she's got pretty toenails!


Jen, are you sitting down, girl? Take a valume. This is how the Field house rolls, the messier the better, I admit sometimes I'm a little too relaxed but just take a look at the play by play...:)


LOL


aaah yaaa...spaghetti & pudding ~ mama rocks!

One happy (messy) girl! (see Jen, try it!) hehe

Endeavour...Gracie's 1st shuttle launch

I had no idea a 2.5 year old would be so impacted by a space shuttle launch. Granted, we did get to see it live in our back yard! First the trees had a bright orange glow & then the rocket peered up over them, (looking like the last photo) zooming up high in the sky! Gracie yelled "look, the space shuttle!" She was wide eyed and so excited. We watched it until it looked like a star in the sky and ever since she's been asking about it "where'd space shuttle go?" "I don't see the space shuttle, mommy!" "Up high in the sky?!" Today she was even talking to the neighborhood kids & adults, pointing up in the sky, asking if they see the space shuttle. So I turned on the TV today to see if I could find the astronauts in space because she was relentless about them. Sure enough we found them, she was delighted. I also went online to find her photos and this is what I found. So she was very happy to be able to look at them!

Halloween Celebrations...

The Great Pumpkin Patch ~ had to accessorize with her "Minnie shoes"

These are mama's favorite ~ She was super charged this day, here she is taking a break to giggle & laugh between running through the pumpkin isles


Sarah & Gracie


Coloring pumpkins

Carving pumpkins - daddy's very serious

Eating pumpkins? Eeeww. Yucky!

Digging the guts out...squishy!

All done

This is a Gracie pumpkin with her hand prints cut out on each side..."oh no!" Her famous expression.

Oh what a sight! She ran outside after a bath to check out the "fire" in the pumpkins!

And of course dressing up our toes for every occasion! Black Sparkle was the choice for this year.

It's Minnie Mouse, waiting for the arrival of her play group for their Halloween Party!

We made Cat Cookies!

and Marshmallow Ghosts!

Goodie bags!

Witches' Brew!

Grotesque fingers!

A Pumpkin hunt!

I found one!

Imagine trying to get ten 2 year olds to stand in one spot for a photo! Where's Gracie?

Oh, of course, there she is! Poor Mickey, look at his face. Minnie's having a melt down AGAIN? This time you lost your ears! "It's not hormones, it's allergies!"

Trick-or-Treating through the hood

"I don't mind if I do, lady." Gracie walked right in a few people's doors after they opened them. This one she helped herself to the lady's candy bowl.

Not one "Trick or Treat", Not one "thank you", no "good bye", just looked down into her bucket and said "open it mommy" as soon as she got a new piece of candy.

Neil Diamond Rocks Orlando :) haha

So we got my mom tickets to see Neil Diamond for her birthday & my mom and I went last night. We definitely took a trip down memory lane back to the 80's, when I was 9 and we lived in Japan, Neil Diamond was like a distant family member in our house every day. We listened to him ALL the time, even watched his movie Coming To America over & over, my mom was crazy about him. Her influence was so great that I chose "Hello my friend, Hello" as my ballet recital song. You tell a girl this day to choose a Neil Diamond song for her ballet recital! LOSER! His voice is forever ingrained in my mind and it's not a bad thing. I actually like most of his old songs. Now ask me about the Barry Manilow Christmas album, puke, gag, barf! My sister and I either hid or burned it, we just couldn't take anymore of Barry! Just his name makes me cringe. When I bought my mom the tickets on ticketmaster I had a little ordeal (meltdown) because I really wanted good seats. During the transaction it asked me to enter my password and I didn't know or have one, so I asked Todd and he didn't know his, so of course then it was ALL his fault and I was freaking out. The screen said I had 30 seconds or I was going to lose my place in line, so I did. When I got back it booted me up to the top section (nose bleed section) and so there we were, row T. I was SO angry. Anyway. So we get to our section at the arena last night, and I see my ticket says row T, so I'm going and going, M, N, O, and I am thinking, holy cow, we're almost at the top, surely row T is coming, sure enough it did, THE highest row, UNREAL. My mom thought I was either playing a joke on her or I didn't know where I was going! I wish. So we get to our seats and we are laughing so hard, I told her I had no idea we were in the nose bleed section and was a little embarrassed because I know her and my dad somehow always luck out with great seats. She brought her binoculars and there was a huge screen up and she said, oh I'll point my binoculars at the big screen and I'll be fine! Smart a**. :) Neil did a great show, my mom was on cloud 9 the rest of the night and today!
