Play Ball!!!

Wicked Broadway Show League

DP plays for the Wicked Team in the Broadway Show League. Since we left our Atlanta Adventures we have been counting down the days until softball would begin. This is David's third year playing ball and it has become something we love to do as a family. We were just reminiscing while driving down to the game last week that 3 summers ago I sat in the stands getting bigger and bigger. We didn't even get to go to the final game because Gracie was born that day. Last year was Gracie first summer watching Daddy play baseball. She didn't really get it, but loved the clapping and the occasional popsicle. This year Gracie is ready! She has been counting down the days with us.


A conversation between Gracie and I:
Mommy: Gracie what does Daddy's hat say?
Gracie:YANKEES!
Mommy:Who likes the Yankees?
Gracie: DADDY!
Mommy: Who else?
Gracie GRACIE!
Mommy: What do the Yankees play?
Gracie:BASEBALL!
Mommy: Who else plays baseball?
Gracie:DADDY!

And just so you know~ Wicked won last weeks game 15 to 9
LET'S GO WICKED!!!!!!

A Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's House

We try to take a trip every year to Ohio for a very special holiday...my birthday!!! And this year we got a two for one holiday celebration...We FINALLY got to celebrate Christmas with my family. 

We also had the chance to see some old friends. Grace and Hayden have only met one time prior to this visit...yet they act like they've been friends for years. Very cute those 2!!!

Gracie also got to visit with her Great Grandparents, Great Uncle Tom and Great Aunt Mary!

Here's Gracie with Grandma Lois

and Aunt Mary

Driving 7 hours with a 19 month old is totally worth it when the end result is a house with a slide in it!!!

First words out of Grace's mouth every morning:

"Go see Grampa!"

"Go see Grama!"

"Go down slide again!"

One of Gracie's favorite parts of the trip was cooking with Grandpa.

 We've been home for 2 weeks and she still brings it up.

 "Gracie roll dough with Grampa" 

The end result was delicious pizza bites. Ask Grace for the recipe.

 I should get her to start her own cooking blog.

We had a great visit and as usual it's always sad to say goodbye. But Gracie keeps reminding us of the fun she had while in "HI-O." So I guess we'll have to go back.

 I mean they have a slide in their house...who wouldn't want to go there!

Orlando Adventures

David had the opportunity to play Wicked in Orlando for a week
 and of course Gracie and I tagged along.
We spent a day at Disney World with Uncle Seany and it truly
was one of the best days we have had as a family.

When we first got to the park all the characters were up on the castle doing a show and Gracie started waving to them and yelling their names. It was absolutely adorable!

Gracie's first ride was The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

and then we hit up It's A Small World...

Her favorite ride was the Prince Charming Regal Carousel

 (she yelled "AGAIN" when the ride ended)

and a close second was The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

We had a great day at the most magical place on earth!!!!
