It's a Girl!! {Gerfy Baby Gender Reveal}

By -
Have I mentioned that our best friends are having a baby this summer? We're a little excited about it. I think Isaac and I have been waiting for this forever, because we've always talked about our kids growing up together and taking Disney Cruises together. Plus, they'll be (third?) cousins, and who doesn't love adding more babies to the family?

Last Sunday, after weeks and weeks of anticipation, it was finally time to find out if Matt and Frannie's little bundle is a boy or a girl. Per usual, Carole and Suzette went all out on a pink and blue theme with way more food than there were people. They are the greatest party planners/decorators around (can you imagine this child's birthday every year?). 







None of us wanted to wait any longer to find out what we'd be holding in a few months. Everyone had different guesses. Frannie had a feeling it was a boy but wanted a girl, Matt thought it was probably a girl, and I just knew it was a girl (mainly because I keep finding the most adorable baby stuff when I'm shopping for my girls, and I need someone to buy it for). I kept seeing this picture we took of them holding Gracie together just hours after she was born, so in my head, they would be holding their own sweet, little baby girl.

Finally, what we were all waiting for...




It's a girl!! They were obviously over the moon with excitement as everyone else started screaming and crying happy tears.




I don't think anyone's excitement beat the newest Grandma's. They are so thrilled to have their own a new baby to spoil.


Suzie already knew it was a girl and had already purchased some adorable outfits for her new granddaughter.


We are all so excited to have another girl to add to our group!



The girls were excited, too. Grace and Char knew it was a girl from the beginning and picked out some pretty awesome names for them to consider including Flower Garden or Rainbow Girl.



We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging around the pool laughing and gossiping. The girls love to play with all of our friends and consider them their friends, too. I love watching them interact with the guys, and Charley had a blast splashing them all with pool water.




We couldn't be more thrilled for Matt and Frannie to experience parenthood with a baby girl to dote on. They are going to be the best parents, and we can't wait to meet her!


I sent Frannie a picture of all of the infant bows I have saved for her. Baby Gerfy has a pretty good start to her hair accessory collection already.


I've also been ordering those newborn items I was talking about. I die every time one comes in, and I love it more than the last. Normally, you wouldn't catch me touching Steelers gear, but I made an exception for them and have a Steelers bow headband on the way. This little girl is going to be so loved!




We love you guys! Congratulations, again <3

Last Week...

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
