Happy Birthday (and half b-day) to my two favorite people in the world! I LOVE YOU!
Gracie is now OFFICAL NURSERY AGE (18 months)! Although she has been attending for a while now...but now I'm guilt free about it. She RUNS after sacrament (and sometimes during) to the room. She could care less what I do-SHE LOVES IT IN THERE! She's such a big girl. She's much taller than when we got here and her hair is much thicker too! Her fav words lately are "Co-Cooooo" (of course her dad got her hooked!) and "Snuggles" which really comes out "guggles". She is starting to sit on the tiolet...hopefully the whole potty training thing will be mastered in the next few months (BEFORE the baby gets here). She is now in a tumbling class (more of an extreme intro to gymnastics) with her friend Kaylee. She has only been a couple of times but she really likes hanging on the mini bar, walking across the balance beam, jumping on the trampoline and now she attempts somersaults on her own. I think we're going to have a dancer! I am so proud of the growth I've seen in this little spirit. She is so kind, and thoughtful, and always is trying to share toys and food with friends (don't worry she's still got a sassy every so often but I'm really trying to focus on the positive here). Sometimes I just laugh when I'm watching her and I can't wait to hear the words that will come out of her mouth.
And now my tribute to my Lance:
This lucky boy got a mode of transportation for his birthday. But now that I think about it, it's kind of a present for me. You see, Lance got a job at school that requires him to leave for work by 6:30 AM!!!! So Gracie and I have been dragging ourselves out of bed to take him to work/school every morning this quarter. Quite frankly it SUCKS! and we realized that in the next 3 years he's going to need to travel a lot during the day and I won't be able to keep chauffering him around with the kids. Hence the Lance Venice!
Oh yes, this scooter brand is Lance, so it has his name written all over it. I haven't seen him this giddy since our wedding day!
Vroom, Vroom, baby--ENJOY!!
Happy Birthday to my best friend. Here are a couple of reasons I Love Lance...read on at your own risk. (and yes sweetheart I stole this from the anniversary present I gave you last year but really I thought of them all by myself anyways, why can't I use them now? Especially when this baby is sucking out all of my brain cells!

Happy Birthdays! And so cute about the gymnastics stuff...she is getting big!!
Dude happy birthay. You and I should start a motor rally of scooter riders that ride in the snow.
You gotta post a shot of Lance all decked out in his scooter gear sitting on it. That'll be hysterical!!
You are so lucky that Gracie loves nursery as much as she does...she sounds like so much fun. Great gift idea for Lance..with gas prices at crazy amounts, you are really smart.
ohhh my goodness how fun! I love the scooter! Did you get Stuart's message on Lances b-day? We need to call eachother more and stay in touch much better. I'm so glad you guys got a pick up from the dewitts! I'm sure you needed that! I will be updating my blog soon... I've had people living with me since before Christmas and well it's thrown me off schedule. They will all be gone this weekend so I'm going to have all this time to do things for Stuart and Jaxon. I really can't wait to get back to normality! Well tell Lance Happy Birthday for us. Wish we could make him a cake. I've learned how to make some wonderful foods this last month. Come visit soon and we will cook for you. Stuart might even call me a good cook now. Anyway, now that I've written you a novel we'll talk to you later. Shana :)
I love this little tribute you did for your favorite people!! It was awesome! I wish we lived close so Gracie and Ady could play! It would be fun.
I have to say, Lance is a good catch! You two made my stay at the hospital so much easier with all your books and movies! I really learned to love and appreciate you two! Lance even made me dinner! What a great guy! Of course great guys pick great women for wives. That's why I am so lucky too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LANCE!
P.S. I love the scooter. Secretly, I wish I had one. But, I would be to chicken to ride it. I think it's pretty hot sauce though!
Lucky Lance! Hope you guys are doing well! We are currently in the stage where we bring Kiley to Nursery...and feel guilty-only 2 more weeks until nursery is official. Cute fam.
Happy birthday Lance! I thought about him that day. And hooray for the scooter! Jacob has one and it's been a real blessing for us. I love your list of loves, too.
Yahoo for the birthday buddies! I am excited for your new baby if he/she is half as cute as gracie you guys are in trouble! I am due any time now with patty #3! I still have your dish fron the christmas party...I just don't know who to give it to. Take care and well done lance on being a great husband! Enjoy the wheels!
Love the new bike!! Matt needs one of those!! I can't believe Gracie is 18 months! Nursery is the best! Hope you guys are doing well!
Happy Birthday Lance, and we are so glad to have Graci in our nursery class now-it makes me feel less guilty about asking you to sub all the time hee hee! Love you guys!
