11 on 11???? June 2010

Take a photo once an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a snapshot of your life and find beauty among the ordinary things of your day.

So I'm a total loser and completely forgot to bring my camera with me yesterday!!!! So instead of missing out on this awesome day I look forward to every month, I decided to do 11 on 11!!!!!! Enjoy

It was Gracie's last day of Preschool. Since she will be moving schools starting next week, I took a few pictures with her and her teacher's and friends. That little girl in the picture's name is Michelle!!!! I love that her good friend at school has my name, so cute!

Cool Dude!!!!

For some reason, I think it's the angle in which the shot is taken, Ryder always has this odd pictures! (Could it be because he's constantly trying to grab the camera every time I bring it out?) Anyway, they totally creep me out and I just thought I would share!

So my friend Becca has been quite the entrepreneur lately and has started several businesses. One of them is cookie decorating and here is a shot of one of the cookies she made for Ryder's birthday (they will be the favors) for tomorrow! They turned out great, if you would like to get some adorable essentials for new Mommies or some great cookies for any occasion, please visit her Etsy site here.

Here is how I packaged the cookies for the "treat" bags, too cute!

I had to give the Birthday Boy an adorable haircut before his big day!!!!

So my great friend Diane (I'll get you back for this one Di) suggested I enter something in the fair so I could get some free passes! Great idea!!! Well, here are the 3 pieces I entered which got picked to be judged at the fair!!! Normally I would be super stoked for that however, you have to frame them to be displayed at the fair!!!! Now $120 into it, I should have just bought the dang fair tickets!!!! But, if I win a cash prize, it could be all worth it!!!!

Here are the cupcakes I made for the party tomorrow, this one's Ryder's!!!

I know, I know, please someone give me the Mom of the Year award now!!!! I have been meaning but never took Gracie to the Dentist! Putting it off, putting it off, dreading it really!!! Well, today I bit the bullet and wouldn't you know forgot the camera!!! She did great, well not at first, but then she did GREAT and as a reward got a zhu zhu pet (oy vey)!!!!! Here's her shiny white's!!!!

Just some of the 10lbs. of chicken I cooked for the party tomorrow. I also made 50 cupcakes, and 10 lbs. of tri-tip!

The Birthday Boy got a present early from a mystery person ( I think my neighbor). He had to wait to open it til' tomorrow but he sure had fun playing on it!!!

Confessions of a 5 year old Drama Queen

While lying in bed one day were calling for Bubba, Gracie says "Bubba.......Bubba.....(no answer)....Bubba Beatrice!!!! -guess she thinks everyone's middle name is Beatrice

"Look Monkey, this is where Bubba went to school" Dad said. "Oh, well what kind of art projects did they do there" Gracie said. -while driving to Disney on Ice-Princess Classics

"When I grow up, I want to be a parent"

-things that have been coming up since having a baby

"Aww Mom, when he grows up, can we have another baby?"

-she might change her mind on this one in about 2 years

Driving through Pleasanton at Christmas time....."Look at the big bow on that CD ( bow on a wreath)

At dinner time tonight, "We gotta get you a stocking boy" says Daddy to Ryder. "Yeah, we gotta get you a big sock" says Gracie to Ryder

31/2 year old's are WHINNNNNNNNNY!!!! So upon telling my wonderful litte girl that she needs to ask politely and not whine, she replies, "Please can we read one book upstairs, that would be lovely." We are in a Mary Poppins phase and I think it's starting to take hold!!!!!

"Who loves you"? -Daddy "God" -Gracie

Gracie's school has been having different professional come talk to the kids, yesterday a vetrinarian came. We were talking about it and I told her that I really wanted to be a vetrinarian at one point. She responded, oh, but you decided to be a Mommy instead?

Gracie got to go with Daddy on a "side-job" in the dump truck. While it is a very nice truck, it's a bit older and has a crank style window operation. Ryan proceeded to roll down the window and here's what he got;

Gracie - "Dad, what are you doing (making a motion like rolling down the window with the crank)"?

Daddy- "Rolling down the window"

Gracie- "Where's the button"?

Daddy- "No, this is how you roll the window down, that's how we used to do it, before buttons.

Gracie- "Oh, why"?

Daddy- " I don't know sweetheart, that's just how it was"

"Oh, I wish we had some grapes, but their not on season"

-I've been trying to teach her about fruits and veggies and their seasons!

This one's a little hard to explain in writing but craked me up;

So she catches the second half of Dora and toward the end (all you Mommies know this, but I need to explain for the laimen) it shows where she's going and how she got there, so it shows the end place cause' it's near the end of the show and my wide-eyed cookie monster says, with full sincerity,

"See, uhhhhh, I..... (looks at me in disgust) I don't like missing Dora"!!!

"I dont' know why my tummy hurts, I had a turkey sandwich"!

I've been telling her that maybe her tummy hurts around lunch time because all she eats is PB&J!!!

Daddy and I were talking about Heaven last night and I asked him what's there? He said that you can have anything you want, I told him like, if you want fruit snacks, God's got ya covered.

(chuckle)-Gracie

Me- What?

I just remembered, that picture of me and brother kissing looks like we fell in love!!!

Me - (in my head) YUCK!!!

Your a really good Mommy (melted my heart)

Mommy, how come you don't have enough milky for Ryder anymore?

(if anyone knows this kid, you know she doesnt' pause long enough for an answer)

.....imediatly following, " He drank it all?"

Mommy, Ashley has spikes in her teeth. (At first when she said this, I thought she ment Ashley has braces on her teeth. However after examining Ashley myself, come to find out, they really are spikes, they are like spacers or something!) My little genius!!!

After falling - "Mommy, I don't want another boo boo!!!" Poor baby : (

Well, I haven't seen Joshy in a long time..... (Gracie)

Honey, he's been on vacation with his Daddy... (Me)

Oh no, I forgot to pray for him!!!! (Gracie)

Lonestar's "I'm already there" playing on the radio as we get into the car from meeting a friend at the library....Gracie-"Oh, this is a perfect song for what we just did, cause we were there before meeting your friend"!!!This kid is so clever it kills me!!!

Auntie Manda's going to come over to watch you because I have a Dr. apt.

How come your going to the Dr.? ( No pause) Oh because you just had your birthday?, and you had to "re-cancel" ( a funny mix between re-schedule and cancel, I believe) because Grandpa died?

I just cracked up, what else do you do, now the poor girl will think every year around her birthday is when you have to go to the Dr. It was just a coincedence for me!

Auntie Manda got a new wallet and while looking it over Gracie says "Oooh, this is nice, it even has a place for your Auntie Mandy card"

For those of you who don't speak Gracie, that was her driver's license!!
