My favorite memory is easily the moment I met Grace.

This moment was the sweetest, most precious thing in the entire world:

Birthday at the Beach

Since we had such a great time at the beach last month, we decided to take another trip for Gracie's birthday. We figured a party would cost close to the same, and she already has way too many toys. A weekend in Newport would be much more fun! We invited some friends and made plans to head down first thing Saturday morning. The girls were great the whole way, and none of us could wait to get to the beach.  We stayed at a hotel that was literally across the street from the pier. It was perfect, because we could walk back and forth to the beach whenever we wanted. Our room wasn't quite ready when we checked in, so we decided to go grab lunch at Ruby's Diner. As we made our way down the pier, Gracie spotted a seal swimming below and immediately named him "Duck". The girls loved watching him swim around. Since it was Gracie's birthday, we got a table on the rooftop. It was so nice to enjoy our lunch while watching the ocean. Our wai...

Grace is such a happy baby: This week, I've come to the realization that she isn't going to be a baby for much longer. BECAUSE... We've discovered her  FiRsT tOoTh !! You can't see it very well, but it's there. Just barely poking up through her gum on her left side.

I always say, "I wish she'd stay this way forever."

I'm sure by now, you all know who Kasie is (she's in lots of my prior posts) . She's one of my bestest friends and one of the sweetest, most beautiful, happy, fun-loving people that I've ever met. Since her wedding is coming up soon, us girls all gathered together to celebrate at her bridal shower. Bethany, Kasie's Made of Honor and another super funny, gorgeous friend of mine from high school/middle school , did an amazing job hosting the shower:  She had some of the cutest decorations ever. She did a little country theme, and it was perfect. Check out the uber cute set up: As the shower got rolling, everyone hung out, ate, and chatted: Then the games began. The best one by far was "How Well Do You Know the Groom?" We even got this great video of Kasie being grilled by Bethany: There were a lot more fun questions, but they weren't really blog appropriate. After the game, it was time for Kasie...
