Gracie and her celebrity shots!

Yesterday was parents day, so Cocky invited his along too! The backside of Steve Spurrier! My pics of him facing forward are blurred, so this will have to do!
Isn't he handsome?! Sarah Grace & Sir Big Spur! Eric thinks he looks drunk here, I agree, but I only took one! I wanted to post some pictures of Sarah Grace and her local Carolina celebrities! These were all taken last night except for the pic with the male cheerleaders! We snuck down at the end of the 4th quarter to get a couple of pics with the majorettes and Sir Big Spur. Sarah Grace was so cute with him she just kept petting him and wouldn't stop starring, she seemed to be concentrating very hard! I love her with the cheerleaders, she even had a massive bow to match!

Saturday is a special day...

Dad watching the same game! Maybe we need to bring the tv and dish?! Fireworks after Garcias first touchdown pass! Will watching a game on the neighbors tv. You should see the flat screens that people bring to tailgate with!  Yummy burgers Eric cooked and even sacrificed his arm hair for! Thanks Eric! Football time again! Yesterday was a wonderful day for tailgating and SEC football!  The weather was absolutely perfect down in Columbia, combine that with Eric's burgers and the rest of the food and we were in tailgating heaven. We had so much fun at the game and Sarah Grace of course was awesome. We always get so many compliments at the games, people love her bows, cheerleading outfit and they are always amazed at how well she sits through the games and handles the noise. She even slept through the 1st quarter last night. The only time I've ever seen her jump was last night when we got trapped by the band marching into the stadium, they were right in front of us and she did alright at first. But when the drum line came around and got stopped by us she nearly jumped out of her skin to get to me! It was extremely loud and I probably would have had my ears  covered had my hands not been occupied covering hers! Anyway, we won which always makes for a fun night and we were able to take an old missionary that served in my parents area a few years back. Fun times!

Pink Tutu

I loved the tights with the smushy little diaper, isn't her little bum the cutest?! Nana made Sarah Grace a super cute tutu and it came in the mail today! She also sent a onesie and tights to match it. Gracie was a little bit upset tonight so I didn't even bother with putting something over her head. I though the tutu and tights were plenty enough for a picture. She wouldn't hold still and I was trying to snap over her screaming, probably not the best time to get a photo, but I really wanted Judy to see her in it tonight! Thank you so much for the darling outfit, I promise I will post better pictures when she is feeling more like herself!

Tagged

I have been tagged and I've seen this particular one on several different pages so I'm not exactly sure what to put up, but I will do my best. I believe its your fridge, kitchen sink, a closet, bedroom, bathroom and favorite thing about your house. The catch is you take a picture before you can clean or touch anything... tricky, tricky! So... here goes...
I like my living area, I can push all the furniture out of the way and Sarah Grace & I just play all day!
I love any room that has her in it, and yes I'm still in my scrub pants from work. They are massive and could fit two human beings in them. At work they call me dook pants! Lovely huh! My attempts to get smaller pants have all failed me, apparently they do not come in XXS, I hate unisex scrubs.I'm not telling you this to make you think I'm this tiny person, but just too show you how ridiculous there sizing is and how huge the pants are! Eric just wanted his picture taken! I love my funny guy!
Ok, so this is my fridge, you may be asking yourself, "Is all of that flair necessary?" You bet it is!! My sink! Love the bottle contraption to the side and forks to the right that were used the night before for my midnight snack of mexican leftovers! Nothing like dried beans on a fork! The downstairs bathroom! Don't ya love the neon red, yeah us too! Its on the list of things too change before we sell! 
One of our closets! I didn't get a floor shot, but its just carpet we have our shoes "neatly" tossed under our bed! You could literally get lost in the shoes under there!
*I think I got them all, if not just send me a message and I will take pics of whatever it may be!
 I tag... who ever wants to do this!
**On a positive note I believe Oregon State just beat #1 ranked USC (the fake one that is that hangs out on the west coast) and Jim & Pam are now engaged! I love the Office!
*Oh and my parents cat Pokey accidentally got out last night, kinda sad, hopefully we will find the poor thing! I'm sure she is terrified!

Birthday Boy Will!

Sarah Grace eating her own jar of lasagna! I think she prefers the fruits & veggies! Jake partying it up at the dinner table!  Happy B-day Boo Boo! September is a month filled with birthdays! First Katrina, then my Mom, then my cat Duce, and lastly my baby brother Will! Our little Will turned 15 on Wednesday! I can hardly believe it, I remember going to the hospital after he was born. I remember all of the cute little outfits we dressed him in, I remember pushing him around on the top of my Barbie  Ferrari. It seems like just yesterday we were going to his t-ball games and watching him slide into the bases afterwards because he didn't get dirty enough during the game. Its hard to believe that this little boy is now shaving, playing high school ball, and old enough to drive! Yeah, scary I know! I love you Will and I'm so proud of the young man that you have become! Thanks for being a wonderful uncle to our Gracie & HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We had a fun family get together wednesday for Will. Our grandma came over and Stephanie surprised Will and drove up for the night for the occasion! We had lasagna (wills favorite) & ate tons of chocolate cake with ice cream!

A new season

I busted out this little beauty today!  Lots of changes have been happening around here. On monday I let Sarah Grace use her sippie cup for the first time. I'm not sure how old babies are supposed to be when you let them start, but I figured I would let her try. She did great, it took her a few seconds to figure it out, but then she had down like a pro! Eric also found out yesterday that he will be starting a new job in the next week. We are really excited for this new step, he will be doing something completely different from his current job and will be taking on new challenges. I think he's starting to get a little nervous now but he's pretty stoked on having his own half of a office! Thats right, half of a room will be his! We went out for ice cream last night to celebrate, it was  a little chilly, but Eric wanted to try a place down the street from us! It was pretty darn good, I even got seconds after Eric accidentally dropped my cup of ice cream! We got a good laugh out of it and two scoops of cake batter flavor, yummy! Sarah Grace just napped through it all!  In other news, Eric is in the Elders Quorum presidency and after my three weeks out of the young womens presidency, I'm now going back to primary! Oh how I love the sunbeams! Don't ya just love the changes that come with a new season!
* oh and the office starts back up tomorrow! Hooray for that!

Football, football, what is better?

You guessed it, more football. It's pretty much all we do during the fall in the south! Love it! Carolina played Wofford this last saturday. Sarah Grace & I went to Will's baseball game that morning while Eric finished up a paper and then we all headed down to tailgate. We actually had a quick pit stop at my sisters apartment which is practically right next to the stadium. We had great food and celebrated my moms and Wills birthdays with cake and cupcakes! It was a fun game with  nice and cooler temperatures. They had a pretty cool half time show too, every year they do a tribute to all of those in the military! Its so neat, so I had to add a picture from that, sorry its kind of blurry! I shake too much apparently!
