What have we been up to???

We have been busy lately! First we will start of with Barry...he has been doing wonderful at work and getting more and more cases all the time! And he is training for a marathon in November in San Antonio, so that keeps him quite busy in any spare time he has between work and family! We are very proud of him.

Next Mari..I have been very busy with the kids, Medhawk and doing a new workout routine with my good friend Melissa. We do a workout class or somedays two! Love the classes and Gracie and Jack love their time at Villa Kids.

Gracie is doing amazing at ballet and she just loves it and we are amazed by all the new dancing she had learned and how serious she takes it! This Saturday we get a sneak peak! She met her teachers today and we are so excited for her school year. Gracie has the most wonderful teachers and even one knows my friends from USC and Barry went to high school with them! Such a small world! Gracie will get to make pancakes, cupcakes, paint, do dress up, go to chapel and learn so much! We cannot wait for it to start next week!

And Jack...he is still Happy Busy Jack! Jack just loves life! He had a special Mommy date this week and loved it but was very worried where his "Gace" was at and missed her! Jack had a fun week playing with friends and he now loves to build!!

We are so proud of both kids and they continue to amaze us each day and were so blessed!

Here are some pictures from our week...Jacks playgroup, Gracie's meet and greet and our playdate with our new friends AJ, Jackson and baby Luke! And we have pics from the week before at Sweet Callies birthday! Gracie loves to play with Callie and Jack loves her!

Our Lil Ballerina Gracie!

Gracie had her first Texas Ballet class today and she just LOVED it!! She asked if she could go everyday and if she could go to school too. Our lil girl is growing up and getting too big! We are so proud of how well she did and she couldnt see us and we could only peek through and see her and she was doing great! Gracie showed us her dances she was doing and is so happy! Jack walked up and down the halls yelling "Grace, Grace, Grace!" He didnt know what to do without his favorite pal but towards the end he starting enjoying his Mommy and Daddy time!

Gracie's Starting Preschool!

My big girl Gracie is starting preschool on September 8th and asks daily if she can to school today! She is very excited and that makes me so happy! Gracie and I did Mommy and Me Preschool starting at 18 months so I was a little nervous she would think I would go this time too! And Gracie starts ballet tomorrow! Poor Jack is going to miss his big sister while shes at school. But for the first time he gets his mama all to himself and we will try to do fun things together!

Here are Gracie's teacher Miss Melissa and Miss Corky. Shes in the Robin class!

Trip to Cali!

Gracie, Jack and I had such a wonderful trip to CA and will always treasure our wonderful times and memories with our family and friends! We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa at the beachhouse, fun times with Uncle Scot, Aunt Sandra, cousins Claire and Liam...and we had a fun dinner with Aunt Teppi, Chase and Cooper and saw Uncle Kent and Zach at the end....had a wonderful playdate in Ladera with lots of our friends, got to have a couple other playdates, went to Wild Animal Park and had lots more fun!
