Since I am so frustrated with this one, I have decided to make a new one. I'll post the new website as soon as the following happens.....we get a new computer! Both our PC and laptop have stopped downloading any pictures. And then they erase them from the memory card. So For Christmas Brent and I are getting each other a new computer!! So happy :)! Then you can see that sweet face of Grace's again! <br />I will be keeping this one up because, well let's face it, it was a lot of work and there are some great pictures on here. I also use this blog as Grace's babybook, somewhat. <br />I'll be posting the new site soon so don't give up on me!!!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-18855580991770059732009-11-09T18:29:00.003-06:002009-11-09T18:35:19.557-06:00I have no clue!I did something to my blog and I have no idea how to fix it!!!!! I wanted to change my background. I clicked on the "Layout" tab and there was a tab "customize". I clicked on it and it said that it would save my previous layout. Well THIS is what I got and I cannot find my previous layout. AND the "Layout" tab is now labeled "template". POOP!!!!! (me swearing)<br /><br />I have looked up how to fix it but there is nothing telling how to fix it. I am so frustrated. I just feel like scrapping it and not having a blog. Or, just starting a new one.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-12641737990797972122009-11-06T10:23:00.001-06:002009-11-06T10:48:41.197-06:00Happy Birthday!

Grace and I just got back from Orlando yesterday. My sister, Beth, and her family moved there because her husband got an awesome job working for Del Sol. Check out this company because their stuff is soooo cool!!! Anyways...we drove with Beth and the boys and we got to be there for my nephew's, Nicholas, first day of school and we went to the beach a few times and we did a lot of swimming.

He happens to "know a guy" who works for the Astros and we got free tickets to Saturday night's game. My sister, Beth, and her family came up and went to the game with us along with a friend of theirs. We had so much fun with them this weekend. Grace and Nicholas have the best time together and Grace is in love with the latest addition to our family, Jackson. We were all so sad to see them go today. But knowing us, we'll be in Austin in like a week.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-74107114880761047732009-07-14T11:36:00.000-05:002009-07-14T11:48:36.468-05:00Our Weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQt_JgR0tS_T1ELqIsM9lAboqo1T-1WrjHsjm9c4qE-ggftjgWC9aR8JSqVQEcEFGTpgN2G2I2X199xFSzzs9w29k1y9413qfgBMPej7WHAAO8SNFJlWyM3adyjHnyX7Ij_MjOXP_268Q/s1600-h/_Device+Memory_home_user_pictures_IMG00044.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQt_JgR0tS_T1ELqIsM9lAboqo1T-1WrjHsjm9c4qE-ggftjgWC9aR8JSqVQEcEFGTpgN2G2I2X199xFSzzs9w29k1y9413qfgBMPej7WHAAO8SNFJlWyM3adyjHnyX7Ij_MjOXP_268Q/s320/_Device+Memory_home_user_pictures_IMG00044.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358356915670812338" /></a><br />We had a family date night to our new County Line Restaurant. If you have forgotten, this is my favorite restaurant. They are new so the service was not the best but my ribs were everything I hoped for! Yum!! And since it was on the water, they had a area where you could feed a swarm of catfish. Grace loved it and she really liked watching the boats on the lake.

We stayed at my Grandparents and had a ball! Grace and I stayed until Wednesday while Brent had to go back Sunday. We missed him and I know he wished he could stay with us. Too bad the job got in the way. <br />We went shopping, out to lunch, watched old movies and my sister, Reeta, have a lot of fun doing Grace's hair. So cute! <br />My awesome grandparents took us all out to dinner and let me pick. So of course I picked my favorite restaurant County Line!!! I love the beef ribs!! The only thing I would change is for them to hand out bibs.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-56587036669606617562009-06-02T22:02:00.000-05:002009-06-02T22:11:35.496-05:00Good Hair Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPg1yZmaMqXK_9-Ly5zBA4KfpWjKgIfdpa8fAEfCYjbqOnkEcP0I6UgpeiTF_S_wBf9dU5CeXGewwFnnC920I7qzwxxa5C9Y36gKG42clG0HF_vHUQAdZSwn4MKgw4vZ1ikLVRLdGXs0/s1600-h/hair3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPg1yZmaMqXK_9-Ly5zBA4KfpWjKgIfdpa8fAEfCYjbqOnkEcP0I6UgpeiTF_S_wBf9dU5CeXGewwFnnC920I7qzwxxa5C9Y36gKG42clG0HF_vHUQAdZSwn4MKgw4vZ1ikLVRLdGXs0/s320/hair3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342933582223059874" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuaU5NX5lrMetUSZPTV6P3mFp9VmJdOEvjfHWpvyE_KfrfTKPvcro05fmyyceiZLkiclR7MUp2-8vYDJ9kODs53XBk0aJ333lofF-S_WeVXwllPRYdTGsFx9Nlf36rw6GhhVMWhVn-Z6s/s1600-h/hair2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuaU5NX5lrMetUSZPTV6P3mFp9VmJdOEvjfHWpvyE_KfrfTKPvcro05fmyyceiZLkiclR7MUp2-8vYDJ9kODs53XBk0aJ333lofF-S_WeVXwllPRYdTGsFx9Nlf36rw6GhhVMWhVn-Z6s/s320/hair2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342933576223214882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGtoNWlRO35bzsNOEbrQSYQbmkjVY8IDiencl082en5CNLfA1EsBJaiZL4r4ksospyBdUFz5EO4kluUwxTtjcCA8F6seiuded5KK1bbyUygtp4FvugTBiJzLtl995MzCMNdVhJULgm7TQ/s1600-h/hair1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGtoNWlRO35bzsNOEbrQSYQbmkjVY8IDiencl082en5CNLfA1EsBJaiZL4r4ksospyBdUFz5EO4kluUwxTtjcCA8F6seiuded5KK1bbyUygtp4FvugTBiJzLtl995MzCMNdVhJULgm7TQ/s320/hair1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342933573213733970" /></a><br />I took Grace to get her hair done today. It was great because the lady showed me how to "properly" condition Grace's hair and how to "properly" comb it! I am white. I did not grow up with this type of hair so I had no clue. I felt like an educated woman after the appointment. And now Grace's hair is so cute and looks soooooo much better!!!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-51415885305408396402009-05-28T13:17:00.000-05:002009-05-28T13:26:19.161-05:00Bon Voyage!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3t_khTsBVdD-4kqXRJ7wMgJlbzyFp766eBWGXI8Tiwdqa-wDJ4HC9gfYv-VlWAq_D3wcmxapDzxrwALg5ZYB_XV1gT38DpyZ-y4KaEuorlD-uV-NHb6V2-ef6o9iemhSbOfCzz1d8W4k/s1600-h/cruise+ship.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 131px; height: 131px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3t_khTsBVdD-4kqXRJ7wMgJlbzyFp766eBWGXI8Tiwdqa-wDJ4HC9gfYv-VlWAq_D3wcmxapDzxrwALg5ZYB_XV1gT38DpyZ-y4KaEuorlD-uV-NHb6V2-ef6o9iemhSbOfCzz1d8W4k/s320/cruise+ship.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340942617999579538" /></a><br />I need help! (I know, I ask for help... A LOT!) For Brent and mine's 10 year anniversary we are wanting to go on a cruise. Our anniversary is in October and we won't be going until next March. But I want to get a start on planning it so I was wondering where do I start? I know a lot of you have already been on one so I need you advice on where, who with, what you wish you knew, anything! <br />We are so excited to go and we are going with my sister, Beth and her husband, Sam and our best friends Kia and Christina. We are all celebrating our 10th anniversary this year so we thought: Let's all go!!!<br />P.S. We are partial to a Disney Cruise but I feel guilty not taking kids with us.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-32345913336891904722009-05-19T13:55:00.000-05:002009-05-19T14:00:10.799-05:00County Line<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkLPB2dEAWad3qC6ct5kkMLHLkZ8-M6QqrfbyVMRHKeJUuF8uitHNkD1bUPeRvQZ-kKSeNt8I00dKRG7YFI4qrschaNrLTnxLTItYS-6asKV7gtMl803ZI5irFCcEoT_c7hVliSJg2TM/s1600-h/logo2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkLPB2dEAWad3qC6ct5kkMLHLkZ8-M6QqrfbyVMRHKeJUuF8uitHNkD1bUPeRvQZ-kKSeNt8I00dKRG7YFI4qrschaNrLTnxLTItYS-6asKV7gtMl803ZI5irFCcEoT_c7hVliSJg2TM/s320/logo2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337611849704028274" /></a><br />My favorite restaurant is called County Line and I have only known of one in Austin.

We wanted to have the sealing done in the Salt Lake Temple because that was where we were married. <br />She looked so sweet in her white dress that my mom made her and the temple gave her a little flower to put in her hair. She liked the nursey more than anything and really didn't notice when we left. <br />My mom and dad and Corbin drove all the way from Austin and they were such a help! Brent's family was so great and most of them were able to the sealing. Then we all went to our favorite resturant, Asian Star and had their Walnut Shrimp!!!! SO GOOD!!! <br />Grace has loved being at Grandma Dee's and loves to chase after the dogs and she went for a ride with Grandma on her scooter today. We also got our pictures done by one of my favorite photographers, Shay (her website is in my favorites) and I can't wait to see them! <br />It has been a really great trip.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-20326832961926313502009-02-11T23:41:00.000-06:002009-02-12T00:02:41.680-06:00I've Created a Monster!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhXUfRuby6eRkn9pW0K3Fo_v6CV9yviLn0C76hqjdtDGZg_1HDt_UggVqTIEXZDAruMMxWx0yW-FgWt1PYWnxBBaenMyL1j4lSNWaDOakISawsoCH14aejSs5CrHpeGh8QlBPM2cOWgJo/s1600-h/0453291%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 115px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhXUfRuby6eRkn9pW0K3Fo_v6CV9yviLn0C76hqjdtDGZg_1HDt_UggVqTIEXZDAruMMxWx0yW-FgWt1PYWnxBBaenMyL1j4lSNWaDOakISawsoCH14aejSs5CrHpeGh8QlBPM2cOWgJo/s320/0453291%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301787278328295106" /></a><br />Tonight Grace and I went to the mall to get Brent a birthday present. She has become my favorite shopping partner. She likes the colors and the bright lights of stores and always grabs the clothes when we walk by. Tonight though was different.<br />We were walking down the mall and as we walked by Build a Bear, she reached out and very loudly went, "AAAAAA", meaning... "I want to go in there!!!" Hello! I can't believe she recognized that store let alone screamed to go in. Don't kids wait to do that until they are 2?<br />I took her in for about five minutes and she played with a few bears and seemed satisfied. But we walked by again, and she did it again!!! And the thing that surprises me the most is that we went into one last week with my cousin and her kids so she totally remembered it! Smarty pants! <br />It was also her first time to play in the children area. This mall has an awesome play area! Grace loved it and even made a few friends! She and one little girl would run up to each other and scream. They thought it was the funnest thing. She was soooo cute!!!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-72346299506356389312009-02-03T23:15:00.000-06:002009-02-03T23:35:53.615-06:00Finally and Finalized!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiADB4WS15Z9tdpM2LMI1luHGu-k87F6keEXjDPGNZKbFxOOUyv1jLnjhqfULejO6rWcVVpu9chHOa3MJ3wBzPdl1W92RoO0de3QeGisetGZkSs8nxmu21Sow3CYqNRiUqZyO_-B7SQ1pc/s1600-h/Zi6_0188.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiADB4WS15Z9tdpM2LMI1luHGu-k87F6keEXjDPGNZKbFxOOUyv1jLnjhqfULejO6rWcVVpu9chHOa3MJ3wBzPdl1W92RoO0de3QeGisetGZkSs8nxmu21Sow3CYqNRiUqZyO_-B7SQ1pc/s320/Zi6_0188.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298811253794493474" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEmiGq0pMPZmiYSNK4ONuH-tQt0m4dgLQNsO9FatN_mEU2ayYlYYMeXgNSUqKtCn7L_qX_CJsQeB1-ZrOZD8E-NLON0BfXfd_bDZoz2ijVvsLsNcdNEPakRB8NC8jPHFdFAHPRcosa7aQ/s1600-h/Zi6_0183.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEmiGq0pMPZmiYSNK4ONuH-tQt0m4dgLQNsO9FatN_mEU2ayYlYYMeXgNSUqKtCn7L_qX_CJsQeB1-ZrOZD8E-NLON0BfXfd_bDZoz2ijVvsLsNcdNEPakRB8NC8jPHFdFAHPRcosa7aQ/s320/Zi6_0183.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298811241797678898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GZ_n6MdGiCrF_uoiyBUcjk7EQe8Lt6w4zRVl4YdYgVBpXHw-mlJU0O6EXGrIXcnYxPxBIbQjFI13618D8vnjyxczWUbaBgyBqapZPM3S902WV1or3tkv0_28Re3bYVaA8UokjFyawyg/s1600-h/Zi6_0181.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GZ_n6MdGiCrF_uoiyBUcjk7EQe8Lt6w4zRVl4YdYgVBpXHw-mlJU0O6EXGrIXcnYxPxBIbQjFI13618D8vnjyxczWUbaBgyBqapZPM3S902WV1or3tkv0_28Re3bYVaA8UokjFyawyg/s320/Zi6_0181.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298811244335293250" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF-j04cETXAMlVYs0qO_ou3VzK2Bkt3uD-LzybTsxZwpppqCY6mSOXziTLu3-TvhXMAkg1I7EzVMpfRowG8IlI6yK6EBtv7lcnu8lme_cq7Uv_HJVWZS5QV2CvG6FerR0oWOE1EXJDy8/s1600-h/Zi6_0198.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF-j04cETXAMlVYs0qO_ou3VzK2Bkt3uD-LzybTsxZwpppqCY6mSOXziTLu3-TvhXMAkg1I7EzVMpfRowG8IlI6yK6EBtv7lcnu8lme_cq7Uv_HJVWZS5QV2CvG6FerR0oWOE1EXJDy8/s320/Zi6_0198.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298811237919058098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqeiegy_zwK5TViF3hPJQURCd5QzG0DXMR7CKeGe6IzfFzRC9mq47zZVCIv5vp4GWWo3-6Hz0unwSx-lMcUbFOS6ybNU_khiMy6WohaMFu50K3e4kOmQ0aPubZEuyXpnIHl1ZVaoeZi8I/s1600-h/Zi6_0206.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqeiegy_zwK5TViF3hPJQURCd5QzG0DXMR7CKeGe6IzfFzRC9mq47zZVCIv5vp4GWWo3-6Hz0unwSx-lMcUbFOS6ybNU_khiMy6WohaMFu50K3e4kOmQ0aPubZEuyXpnIHl1ZVaoeZi8I/s320/Zi6_0206.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298811240762534658" /></a><br />I know it's been awhile but with moving, strep, finalizing Grace's adoption and burying our dog, we've been a little busy. But the great news is that....Grace is all ours!!!! We had to go back to Detroit to finalize with the court so we got to see our friends, Kia and Christina and the boys. <br /><br />Grace was precious, of course and was so good through the whole hearing. The Judge called it their "Smile Day" because they only get to do adoption hearings once month. We took pictures with the Judge afterwards and Grace loved his gavel. We think she's going to be the next Ruth Bater Ginsberg. And one of the best things was that Christina got to come with us so it felt like we had family there. <br /><br />Some new things Grace is doing......SHE'S WALKING!!! 9 1/2 months can you believe it? She can also wave, clap and I taught her how to blow a kiss yesterday. She's keeps mimicking what we say so she has said things like, "Good Girl", "Duh", and she'll growl for you too.

Especially since Grace was born I have felt he has been somewhat neglected. And after yesterday, he deserves it even more. We had to put our sweet puppy to rest after he developed kidney failure. <br />Duke has been the best dog. He was loyal and devoted and the most well-traveled puppy I have ever met. We even took him on our anniversary trip to Canada a couple years ago. He has been to Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, Pikes Place Market and traveled by plane about 6 times. <br />He was great "heater" in the winter and would sleep under the covers by our feet. He would check on Grace for us and if she was crying, he would come and get us. He has been our comforter and baby for years while we battled infertility. And he has been our protector in many situations. <br />We brought him to my Grandparent's home to bury him, and my whole family came out to dig his grave and grieve with us. He did not just make an impact on Brent and me, but to everyone who met him.<br />We will miss him and he will always be more than "just a dog" to us. He will always be our Duke, our first baby.<br /><br />We love you, Dukie-Duke!!!!!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04419578807405284411noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485264275055088592.post-28139609991560428852008-12-24T12:55:00.000-06:002008-12-24T12:56:48.746-06:00GREAT NEWS!!!!We have a court date to finalize for Grace's adoption!!!
