Our little Miss Gracie is getting big just as fast as Blake! She spent a few days w/ Grandma while we went to the Boat Races and fits right in with her "pack" of dogs. Jack is her favorite playmate since they are about the same size (for now anyway!). She also LOVES to swim in Grandma's pool! She is a fish just like Blake and Jamie! This week she got spayed and did really good with the surgery. She has to wear a cone head when we leave her so she doesn't pull out her stitches and it is so funny to see her in it!
Blake is getting sooooo big now and talking up a storm! He looks like a six year old and is so smart! He knows how to count to 10 and about half of his ABC's and he's just 26 months old! He is also going to bump up to the 2 1/2-3 year old class at little gym because he fits in better size wise and can do everything they are doing in there. Here's a pic of him trying out his new roller skates, he's so athletic so he's really good at it!
Last weekend we made our annual trek down to Mimi and G-Diddy's for the Boat Races! As ALWAYS MiMi went above and beyond to make our stay AWESOME and so much fun. It is like staying at the best 5 star resort everytime we go there only it's even better! She stocks our "suite" with gifts and snacks and we lay by the pool all day and it is so relaxing! Blake was so excited about the "huge race boats" this year! Patrick and his friend Ryan and aunt Tami came as well as Granny and Papaw Smith and Colby and uncle Gary too! It was nice to spend time w/ everyone and we even got a 4 generation Smith family picture! Already looking forward to next year!
We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and a fun-filled one too! Friday night Jacob spent the night with us and we took him and Blake to see Toy Story 3, it was sooo good! Saturday morning B and Jake had a good time slip n sliding in the backyard and playing in the sprinkler too! Saturday evening cousin Patrick and aunt Tami came over and we grilled out and did some sparklers, Blake LOVED the sparklers! And finally Sunday our awesome neighbors Roy, Lori and Brooklyn had their annual 4th of July cookout and we watched and did fireworks! Everyone came to our neighbors, even Tami and Patrick and Grandma Martin! It was a super fun weekend and we loved it!
