Monkeying Around

My monkeys spending some time playing around. They love to play together. If Gracie and Caleb work together they can usually take Courtney down, but only for a second. I love watching them play and hearing their giggles.

Gracie Cakes

We were in the car waiting on Daddy. So I thought I would snap a shot of Gracie Cakes. She is growing up so fast. She loves to play outside, bake, and sing. I will have to get a new picture of her since she lost 2 teeth on Wednesday night.

The Pizo Girls

Here is the girls first day of school picture. They are being home schooled this year. Courtney loves it! I am so thankful for her heart and understanding as to why I felt so burdened to take her out of the public school. Gracie cakes is doing her best. Everyday has it's challenges but has it has such a sweet reward also. I love seeing Gracie's face when she really begins to understand what she is being taught. It is priceless. They are growing so fast. Courtney is in the 7th grade this year and Gracie is now in kindergarten.

Good Job Grandpa

Gracie was keeping a close eye on Grandpa while he was helping Daddy raise a cabinet so that the microwave would not be so close to my stove. (By the way they did a FABULOUS job!) She was so interested in what they were doing. So cute. I have similar memories of Courtney watching Grandpa while changing a heating element in the stove for Mom.

The Pitch

Gracie is a constant source of comedy in our house. Even when she has no clue what she is doing we giggle. We just recently bought a Wii. Gracie has done so well learning how to play and is ready to beat Mr. Jeremy any day he wants to come over at bowling. Baseball is her next favorite to play. Gracie has a unique stance and throw that will soon be in the Major's. We caught her in action the other day and thought it would be fun to share.

Gracie's Pretty New Dress

Gracie is sporting a new creation made by Grandma H. She really likes it. At first she said it was itchy but I told her that I would wash it and the itch would go away. And I was right. She likes to twirl in it and see how it flairs.

Gracie's New Dress

Gracie recieved a new dress from her Grandma the other day. She looks so cute in it. Thanks Mom!!

Gracie's Really Big Boo Boo

My poor Gracie, She fell trying to step down to the toilet from the counter. When she did she slipped and fell face first into the tub. Tony called me at work and asked me for the the nurse hot line number and told me what happened. I have to say that I never imagined it to look like this. When I seen her my heart just broke. It was so much more swollen last night. We kept her close by during the night and woke her up every few hours to make sure she could speak clearly and walk. The nurse said to call back if she vomits twice. But thankfully no vomiting. This morning she is her normal joyful self. She is singing right now "His Banner Over Me Is Love" So she still has a song in her heart. She does go look in the mirror and check on her "Boo Boo" about every hour. Then she comes out and says "Momma I have a REALLY BIG BOO BOO this time hu?" I am just thankful that she is okay. Plus she is still smiling.

Cute Moments By Gracie

Just ran across some pictures of Gracie when she was a bit younger. I thought they were cute so I figured I would post them. She had gotten into some eye shadow that I had just bought. It was one of those moments you where you try not to laugh, and I should have scolded her for doing wrong but I asked Tony for the camera instead.




Gracie loves to play with just about anything. She had started playing with this bucket and the next thing you know she is inside of it. It looks like a tight squeeze. She was having a blast. What a blessing it is to watch her play and grow.

Gracie And The Stove

All of us girls were cleaning up the kitchen after haveing a YUMMY dinner of Chicken Fajitas. Gracie loves to help Sissy out too. She got out her stool and this time offered to wipe the stove top. She did a Fabulous job. Sissy is ready for her to learn how to do the big things so that she can help out more.

Playing Around

Gracie is known for playing dress up with anything she can get her hands on. She had Daddy's hat and racket ball glasses this time. I often find her in my shoes. She likes to hear the heals click on the floor.

Gracie's New Buddy

This is Gracie's new friend Tera. The girls have hit it off. It has been so much fun to listen to her get excited about her coming over to play. The other night coming home from Tera's house it had not even been five minutes down the road and Gracie said "I love Tera and I miss her." They are pretty sweet. I was trying to get a picture of the two of them right before we left. Tera seems to do well for the camera. Gracie was looking at Daddy instead of Momma but she had her smile on.

Raw Talent

Gracie went to the front of the Church and was singing to her little heart out to her Lord after church was over. She was so very cute. She was singing "Christ Is Lord Indeed" she loves to sing. After taking pictures we told her that she could not touch the microphone anymore. We are weird as parents! We take the pictures of our kids doing something that they should not be touching or doing and then let them know that it is a complete "NO NO"! We all do it. But tell me she isn't cute.

The Power Of Sour

You would think that she is eating a lemon by the look on her face but she isn't. It is only a orange. At first she licked it and said this is AWSOME! (I have never heard her say that something was awsome before, I giggled.) So I told her that she sould take a bite. Well that was the end of thinking that a orange was AWSOME! She quickly took a drink and said "I can't like it Momma!"

Gracie

This is our Gracie Morgan she is also lovingly called Gracie Girl! She just turned three in August. She is our little comedian. Not a day goes by with out laughing till I come to tears. Her favorite color so far is pink. She loves playing with her Sissy and Caleb. They say boys are always busy and on the go but that is Gracie. Tony and I love to hear her sing. She has more songs memorized than we ever knew possible. Her and Courtney usually sing to us in the van to where ever we are going. Tony and I absolutely love it. She does not seem to have any problems making friends. Gracie has laid claim on a couple of girls at church. She follows Alyssa and Lizzie around as much as possible. These girls are Courtney's age but does not seem to make a difference. The girls just love on her and take the time to talk to her and that gets Gracie all the more excited. She lovingly calls them "My Alyssa, and My Lizzie".
