Tears in my eyes...

As Gracie was leaving tonight with Bob to go our Relay Team Meeting (Kiera was sick, so I stayed home), Gracie says to me "Just remember Mommy, you're the most beautiful girl in the world"...tears...

Tangled...

Today we took Grace to see Tangled and lets be totally honest...we wanted to see it as much as she did. So the quote of the day comes towards the end of the movie, when the lead character Flynn Ryder goes back to save Rupunzul (spelling?). Grace leans over and says to Bob "Please tell me they live happily ever after."

Time to play in the snow!

Gracie gets a chance to play in the snow...AND she loved it of course:)

Grace's view on toddlers...

Today the girls and I got to share a snow day together. As I was getting Kiera cleaned up from her snack Grace says to me "Mommy, why can't we just give Kiera to Mark and Jen?"...I had no words...then Grace says "She is sooo loud."...again...I had no words...

No, no...

Today's quote is a Kiera quote. Today Kiera took her first step towards independence by telling Bob "No, no." and shaking her finger at him...

4th Anniversary...

Today Bob and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary...I can't help but reflect how different this one is from our 1st or even 2nd. I have to say that if you would have told me 6 or 7 years ago that I would own my own home, be married to an incredible man and have two beautiful kids, I wouldn't have believed you. To be honest it just never seemed possible. Which brings me to the Grace quote of the day...Grace asked Bob to fold a paper airplane for her...Bob promptly folds her a paper airplane...Grace then falls to the ground in tears and says "NOOOOOO, THAT'S NOT RIIIIGGGGHHHHTTT". For a good 3 minutes we couldn't figure out what was wrong until Grace says " DAAADDDDYYY, THAT'S NOT THE WAY MOMMY DOES IT"...I chuckled for 2 reasons. 1. My daughter is so passionate she freaks out about a paper airplane not being folded right (which is totally Bob) and 2. I WAS RIGHT!....Muuuaaaaa....:)

Mommy, I have something to tell you...

When you child comes to you and says "Mommy, I have something to tell you..." you automatically think "Crap (insert your favorite word)" and say "Yeeesss..." then when they say "I love you."...well you feel like the best and worst parent all at once. You feel the worst because you thought the worst, you feel the best because you have this little person you created that loves you unconditionally and has the words to express it, without be prompted to do so...

Mommy is getting old...

Tonight Grace says "Mommy, why wont Daddy let you get on the computer?" I say "Because he's working on surprise for my birthday, I'm going to be thirty years old." Grace says "THIRTY, you're going to be old...I mean big..."...kids...

Sponge Bob is distracting...

Tonight while watching SpongeBob Grace waited a little to long to go potty, she didn't quite make it to the bathroom in time...so she says to me "Mommy, I need new underwear." I say "Why?" Grace says "Because I peed my pants."...

Grace On Getting Married...continued

Tonight during the Seahawks game Grace says, "When I get married, I am going to live happily ever after."

Mom's response was, "That is going to be a long time from now."

Grace On Marriage...

On Christmas night, after watching Beauty and the Beast, Grace asks mom, "Mommy, when you married daddy, did you live happily ever after?"


Of course Michelle knew there was only one right answer...

Intro to the blog...

Michelle and I decided to start a blog to share with the world quotes and other random things from Grace and Kiera. I am sure it will be entertaining...
