Mmmmm...Grass...

Do I even need to write a caption for a picture this awesome?

Quote of the Day:
"Cows are not just made out of milkshakes, you know. Some of them is hamburgers too." ~ I'm not sure where we got this quote from, but Joey says it all the time.

Always Good For A Laugh

Gracie is always good for a laugh. She's hilarious! The way her smart little brain is buzzin' keeps us all entertained around here. Here's her latest...

G: "So, when I die, my body will stay down here while my spirit goes up to Heavenly Father?"

H: "That's right. Our body and spirit are separated for a while."

G: "Oh. So I won't be able to toot?"

Now if that doesn't make you laugh, then you need a stiff drink or something ;)

Viva Las Vegas!

Last weekend, Joe and I had our first "getaway" since the girls were born! Dave and Sue, and April and Brad, were awesome enough to watch the girls for us so we could have some fun times! We went to Vegas and stayed at the M Resort, about 10 miles south of the strip. It was perfect! The hotel was beautiful and clean and our room had an awesome view...especially at night.

This pic really doesn't do it justice! It was awesome! (This is standing in our room, looking out on the strip.)

The world's largest chocolate fountain inside the Bellagio.

The cool garden atrium inside the Bellagio.

The "shell" is fresh roses!

We love Margaritaville, but it's been a little "Vegas-ized" since we were there last. There was a dancing hoochie (spelling?) that we really could have done without...well, that's just me. Maybe Joe's of a different mind ;)

We actually missed, both our flight TO and our flight HOME from Vegas, but I don't even want to get into it here on the blog. It was a bit traumatizing for little 'ol Heather. :)

Too Cool For School

I love these sunglasses because I bought them on Castaway Cay. Now I love them even more because they look super swank on Gracie!

"How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone." ~Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

(Aristocats, Everybody Wants To Be A Cat. It's the girls' new favorite song to listen to in the car.)

Little Singers

We had a fun afternoon at the Children's Garden by our house yesterday. They have a great splash pool with a big Noah's Ark sculpture and the girls love it! It was almost empty because school has started up again. Yesterday made me realize that I truly am an introvert. I LOVE it when it's just us there. There's no one to gab at me, no one to threaten to obscond with my kids. Basically, I just enjoy the peace and quiet.

Anyway, as we were exploring the garden the girls found this cute stage and danced and sang on it for about half an hour. They loved it :) I just sat in the shade of a tree and took video. It was fab. Here are some snippits...
