We had so much fun sending a few people some special Christmas cards, walking to the mailbox, and singing a Christmas carol or two.

Fingernail painting, makeup, dress up, hairdos, dolls, barbies, and drama! What else! Our sweet little Brynn is now 9 months. She a little crawling machine. I'm just starting to realize how much this is going to change my life...I can't keep my eyes off of her for one second. She has two little teeth on the bottom and still has a thing about sticking her tongue out. She is quite the cuddler which I absolutely LOVE, but it also means that I have to lay down with my 9 month old for her to go to sleep. Sometimes, it can get a little tricky being the only parent and trying to lay down with Brynn while having Addie going to sleep in the same room at the same time and asking me to lay down with her instead. Brynn has been such a wonderful baby. I am SO incredibly lucky that she is such an easy going, happy girl. She loves to give hugs, and kisses, and bug her sister. You better believe that Brynn already knows how to bug/tease her older sister. So funny! She is now quite the talker saying Dada, Mama, and Baba. Those baby babbles are my favorite. But her trademark is her wave...just like a beauty queen would do it...just a turn at the wrist. We make her do it all the time. She's a cutie alright. Addie is my stubborn, lovable, kissable, and crazy 2 year old. She constantly makes us laugh, but she also knows just how to push all of my buttons. She LOVES princesses, and dresses up as Princess Addie every single day. Her hair is slowing coming in (finally) and her curls seem to match her personality perfectly. What would we do without our Addie Girl...maybe relax? We love that she keeps us on our toes!

<br />Our girls. Addie loves to play in the backyard, but she always wants someone to play with her. Lately, she has been asking me to bring Brynn out to ride on the bus while she rides in her car. Brynn loves it too. I just had to shoot a picture.

We were lucky enough to meet up with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan! This was the first Halloween in which Addie really understood what was going on...she LOVED trick-or-treating. She is still asking to go trick-or-treating again. It was so cute to watch Addie with her cousins ring the doorbells multiple times, say "trick-or-treat," and yell "happy halloween" as they ran to the next house. I was shocked at how much candy they got and how much stamina they had for such young kiddos. What kids will do for candy! (If only that worked for potty training!) Addie was Sleeping "Booty" and Brynn was a duck. Addie is currently obsessed with princess everything and pink is her favorite color, so it was a no brainer that she was going to be a pink princess. What a fun night!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3ZMuDqNah32MRg8N2wgavtxF6FAIQDA8bUzf1MBrDPsy5PJsKcofUrNBZjGaNTVGiMG_qWL5qXsUKIk01J-kgJZonX9GZgZXe5pyO8J0WlUNlXjMxEm1OAkaJreubf2l9TFc/s1600/DSC_0300.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3ZMuDqNah32MRg8N2wgavtxF6FAIQDA8bUzf1MBrDPsy5PJsKcofUrNBZjGaNTVGiMG_qWL5qXsUKIk01J-kgJZonX9GZgZXe5pyO8J0WlUNlXjMxEm1OAkaJreubf2l9TFc/s400/DSC_0300.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674719965536372834" /></a><br />The night before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.

I have TOTALLY been slacking on blogging this summer. I think between having 2 kids, having Dave gone, and just being really busy...the blog has taken a back seat. But, we're back (for now)! So, I decided to post something that will be really quick and hope that it jumpstarts my inner blogger. <br />A few weeks ago, we started our Brynn Leigh on some rice cereal. She was a total crack-up. For some reason, she thought she was supposed to lick the cereal off the spoon. This girl has always been kind of obsessed with her tongue, so it wasn't too surprising that she was trying to eat the ceral with her tongue. As far as the cereal goes, I still don't think she's completely sold on the idea.

It was such a wonderful and special day. My brother, Riley, got home from his mission to the Philippines on Thursday. We are so thrilled to have him home. Addie was born just before he left on his mission, so he had never even met our Addie girl. My brother returned home to a whole new family...I have TWO kids, my brother is now married, and my sister is all grown up (driving and dating, oh my). We decided to wait to bless Brynn until my brother had his homecoming so he could be there. <br />David gave Brynn a beautiful blessing, and it made me so grateful for all the wonderful, worthy priesthood holders in my life especially my husband. Sunday really reiterated to me how much my Heavenly Father has blessed me. I could not be more grateful for my little family and our new addition of Brynn, for the safe return and amazing experiences that my brother had on his mission, for a loving and patient husband, for a wonderful dad, for an amazing father in-law who taught his children so much, and for a Heavenly Father who always knows what is best. Sunday was so special to me. Surrounded by all our family and friends, I truly feel like I got a little glimpse of heaven. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHljoSXq2a_pkC0ZdqBugKslLxEhfGbhEuVd7PqyvO2LrywM-JR-JgS7YRpf2bHOccMnyOx6YXKsnpkMbT-m0jRBscsZ479dbKgPlPsFtuL0lBiZh2vG_cYahu8shGU2w8b5H/s1600/DSC_0767.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHljoSXq2a_pkC0ZdqBugKslLxEhfGbhEuVd7PqyvO2LrywM-JR-JgS7YRpf2bHOccMnyOx6YXKsnpkMbT-m0jRBscsZ479dbKgPlPsFtuL0lBiZh2vG_cYahu8shGU2w8b5H/s400/DSC_0767.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621679636908844642" /></a><br />The two people of the day-my brother Riley and Brynn.

It amazes me how it feels like she has been a part of our family forever. Brynn is such a content, cuddle bug. She rarely ever cries and loves to cuddle up with everyone. We can't seem to get enough of her growing chubby cheeks and thighs. While she did look like a dark haired version of Addie after she was born, she has definitely started to develop her own look over the past month. We still don't know what to do with all her hair (although it is already thinning), so she usually ends up with a nice mohawk. Addie adores her little sister, and often stops what she is doing to give "baby diss (kiss)." We love our baby Brynn. While life with two kids can be crazy, we are trying to enjoy every moment. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrZtrTuJMU34H1xKdOAkP2htRO7L3lAcQXKdhg21K90Gd7g2Yd870DEEGGr2a1VvfZBbd3P7sMWyZwbEJuZ4g28SyVS6CL2weazVfLyEmKu1rRQUMQlXJiV_lfziNUO88dFKA/s1600/BrynnOneMonth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrZtrTuJMU34H1xKdOAkP2htRO7L3lAcQXKdhg21K90Gd7g2Yd870DEEGGr2a1VvfZBbd3P7sMWyZwbEJuZ4g28SyVS6CL2weazVfLyEmKu1rRQUMQlXJiV_lfziNUO88dFKA/s400/BrynnOneMonth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128790540943202" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3l756_ICvuk_9LxnrpzbdISvDGbYUGofd1GVPbGO-Jef5tQpHs8gkkCxnLyELzVvC7fhQJHsXcf1YE82pwcY9znexbPdZ5aPLQlU9MbWSfmNBuXowEgN-2hpZ34YWgEQ2U8St/s1600/Brynn%2526Bear.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3l756_ICvuk_9LxnrpzbdISvDGbYUGofd1GVPbGO-Jef5tQpHs8gkkCxnLyELzVvC7fhQJHsXcf1YE82pwcY9znexbPdZ5aPLQlU9MbWSfmNBuXowEgN-2hpZ34YWgEQ2U8St/s400/Brynn%2526Bear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128786290916450" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVgP8HY4Nm8mmdhG1BdKQKZ_2QWUfy38TzUWQC89XioJghhJgopzmHOf4mirYpY54quyIiRhL4HnOyDJ5PfJUdGqeIrQhiuH0sur3LllJfH8SVPbHe8saphULMUw7lpgcG8dR/s1600/BrynnTongue.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVgP8HY4Nm8mmdhG1BdKQKZ_2QWUfy38TzUWQC89XioJghhJgopzmHOf4mirYpY54quyIiRhL4HnOyDJ5PfJUdGqeIrQhiuH0sur3LllJfH8SVPbHe8saphULMUw7lpgcG8dR/s400/BrynnTongue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128780663259970" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnthF1bk71bfNzEdoBPadjexPjbFgDzwgqA3I1mkTi_f5q486qYWK1OI0I-cNpw64bzj7BxuKM1JuI9WJFVN6qI0qctx8oyZH5bY7HA8yvH5CzZysaD4Svog11XALMwzimWjEW/s1600/Brynn3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnthF1bk71bfNzEdoBPadjexPjbFgDzwgqA3I1mkTi_f5q486qYWK1OI0I-cNpw64bzj7BxuKM1JuI9WJFVN6qI0qctx8oyZH5bY7HA8yvH5CzZysaD4Svog11XALMwzimWjEW/s400/Brynn3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128989389696642" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubwvYq8mNUE-DfyZ5guAL_biKkUM5B74-dgzGv6a40SjI4-iLDCnGXWcZ4XhswQzRw4knlF1Eh7yD6k9eHZ36kaqLFZcpERy1_iavI5e-nsp9F79OGgKsrGxtBrdnxQeXbS_g/s1600/Brynn2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubwvYq8mNUE-DfyZ5guAL_biKkUM5B74-dgzGv6a40SjI4-iLDCnGXWcZ4XhswQzRw4knlF1Eh7yD6k9eHZ36kaqLFZcpERy1_iavI5e-nsp9F79OGgKsrGxtBrdnxQeXbS_g/s400/Brynn2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128803801574450" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0LvJq1LI0SSLvHsWNRc-miVMiXM-9aivmt46seklvFZjYnItQUgLeGWycVjADdooIOvJsoS5O7sPrvwOHkX0FjvJ7qZku7GuubI6gEf63EvoBc-GpB0bRomHF9_TfQeaavIiC/s1600/Brynn1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0LvJq1LI0SSLvHsWNRc-miVMiXM-9aivmt46seklvFZjYnItQUgLeGWycVjADdooIOvJsoS5O7sPrvwOHkX0FjvJ7qZku7GuubI6gEf63EvoBc-GpB0bRomHF9_TfQeaavIiC/s400/Brynn1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603128796172787778" /></a>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-64664907324869486472011-05-05T00:16:00.000-07:002011-05-05T00:16:20.428-07:00EasterFor Easter this year, we headed up to Grandma Sue's house for some famiy fun. We had lots of fun playing in Grandma's front yard, patiently waiting for a turn on the new swing, and having Allison push us in the car. What a nice and fast big cousin! We loved spending time with the family. The kids had so much fun playing together. Addie and June were best buds. I think one of the cutest things was when June was reading to Addie before bedtime. Addie kept getting up to jump on the bed, and June had to tell her to sit down...so precious! We went on a fun Easter egg hunt and had a very special Easter bunny come visit! As you can see, Addie and June were NOT fans of the Easter bunny. However, the Easter bunny still brought them some goodies on Easter morning. With a little shopping, marble game, and reconnecting with both our families, it was a perfect weekend. <br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJx2b5MGXmuFne2V0qgyQ3jCgd4tXUTBuNoaOwiZ4hp6heB1jEnUhxFnBIHB9rT2g9rGrqdPT-8wqVawuCw-vnD3DTAAJuwFK_DFUSSSRj6pa9dggx3lxxXiCf_dASWaPtHEb/s1600/chapter+37+PART+2_files.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJx2b5MGXmuFne2V0qgyQ3jCgd4tXUTBuNoaOwiZ4hp6heB1jEnUhxFnBIHB9rT2g9rGrqdPT-8wqVawuCw-vnD3DTAAJuwFK_DFUSSSRj6pa9dggx3lxxXiCf_dASWaPtHEb/s400/chapter+37+PART+2_files.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-378678258996851762011-04-11T17:49:00.000-07:002011-04-11T17:59:55.341-07:00One Week Old<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVi3rECTRzsfTaUH4rZDWE7-WBg0EtHSSaISY07E0YPkw-LIqYQiEqr5tXonhvE03FTbsXv8EVma3le-DwpK5F5LRmjuB1C866U4t2PwtPNf23T6kDNXL_0PPy8FNYRVLryKu2/s1600/DSC_0058+-+Version+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVi3rECTRzsfTaUH4rZDWE7-WBg0EtHSSaISY07E0YPkw-LIqYQiEqr5tXonhvE03FTbsXv8EVma3le-DwpK5F5LRmjuB1C866U4t2PwtPNf23T6kDNXL_0PPy8FNYRVLryKu2/s400/DSC_0058+-+Version+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594493098247585650" /></a><br />Brynn is already a week and a half! She has been such a joy in our home. Brynn wants to be held constantly including throughout the night, but she rarely ever cries! We are having so much fun with our sweet newborn. Unfortunately, we did have a few bumps in the road during our first week home. Not only had I completely forgotten about how long it really takes to start feeling normal again, but our Addie girl also got Roseola (with a fever up to 106) that lasted for 5 days! Talk about bummer! Poor girl was so sick. After two doctor's visits, lots of medicine, cuddling, and many Dora episodes, Addie made a full recovery. We are thrilled to have a healthy household again!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBAPOepF4-BXnv-xb2TKhyphenhyphenqWtQNcwXqUv4Il962gQTTMFQaOYHG05-BJWkjIIARxKEO1RCZokTOUWCD85-GKNsH5Z-070VsnMI2dT7C_a-PhyDHN-G97t416DxffdXAp9Dm7BU/s1600/DSC_0052.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBAPOepF4-BXnv-xb2TKhyphenhyphenqWtQNcwXqUv4Il962gQTTMFQaOYHG05-BJWkjIIARxKEO1RCZokTOUWCD85-GKNsH5Z-070VsnMI2dT7C_a-PhyDHN-G97t416DxffdXAp9Dm7BU/s400/DSC_0052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594493100279420914" /></a><br />Our sick Addie May. :(grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-47241328712265897902011-04-09T17:45:00.000-07:002011-04-09T18:36:19.762-07:00Baby Brynn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhilApkA75xjsxWRCbxDkqzQ_P3I8c11QaiaC7dO39mYQZ4b6GEaOXI4sJy1v00-JgZkmRXA4i-PnlqvFWQu3GzEoNP0zLxhXFT-iefQ1MuWly3sSoUqbDdELCTky0s-QEyMmle/s1600/brynnbowl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhilApkA75xjsxWRCbxDkqzQ_P3I8c11QaiaC7dO39mYQZ4b6GEaOXI4sJy1v00-JgZkmRXA4i-PnlqvFWQu3GzEoNP0zLxhXFT-iefQ1MuWly3sSoUqbDdELCTky0s-QEyMmle/s400/brynnbowl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593750503054793394" /></a><br />Brynn Leigh Graham came two weeks early! She weighed in at 8 lbs, 1 oz and 19 inches long...and has tons of dark hair! She has been a wonderful baby, and we are thrilled that she is already here! For those of you who enjoy reading the birth story, then continue on, and for those of you who are not at all interested in knowing a few details then move on to the pictures. :) I had been having mild to moderate contractions the weekend before Brynn's arrival. I felt like a time bomb...waiting for the true labor contractions to kick in any minute (since Addie was over two weeks early, I was CONVINCED that this baby was going to come early as well). Anyways, I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. He usually doesn't check dilation until 39 weeks, but since I had been contracting he decided to do an exam. I was 4 cm and 70% effaced. He told me that he thought that I would have the baby by the afternoon or the next day. He even offered to send me over to labor and delivery right then, but I didn't think my contractions were strong enough for labor, so I decided to go home. That afternoon, my dad (who was on OB call that day) asked if I was coming to the hospital because they had a room set aside for me. I told him that I wasn't in labor, but if my doctor would break my water that I would come into the hospital. My dad was doing a c-section with my OB right after we talked, and my doctor agreed to break my water. Dave and I were so excited! We packed our bags, said our goodbyes, and headed over to the hospital. We went through registration and got put into a room, and then the charge nurse came in and told us that she had talked my doctor out of breaking my water since I was only 38 weeks. Most hospitals now will not induce labor until 39 weeks, so she would not let him help me out! I was so upset! So, we ended up going home. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY8K_If6fnCYKc8-cMBKHA5A4LhsyrRYyHNjI54ZW2bZHBEgnF2Uyt9i4l0oBxEgs2DM0e0nQtIUN6RVGaSEKCjsPWjXPKmPYargvZfGMzAeVNTXz8PRMQ0Q90Ch5vPWhf8WL/s1600/DSC_0025.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY8K_If6fnCYKc8-cMBKHA5A4LhsyrRYyHNjI54ZW2bZHBEgnF2Uyt9i4l0oBxEgs2DM0e0nQtIUN6RVGaSEKCjsPWjXPKmPYargvZfGMzAeVNTXz8PRMQ0Q90Ch5vPWhf8WL/s400/DSC_0025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593750510247133618" /></a><br />Our first trip to the hospital...thinking it was the end!<br />Anyways, my contractions started to kick in the next morning. When we got to the hospital, I was already 8 cm. Luckily, the anesthesiologist was a family friend, so he was able to give me an epidural in between two c-sections. Two hours later, Brynn Leigh Graham arrived! About five minutes later, Dave was eating his lunch...In-N-Out...I just had to throw that in...who loves In-N-Out that much that they ask if they can eat it right after their wife delivers?!?

We have had to use headbands since she was born. Well, I was finally able to get the little bit of hair she has now into piggy tails. Dave hates it...he says they're mullet pigtails (and he's kindof right, but I still can't resist!) Addie's almost two and this is the first time I actually got to do her hair! I was in love with those two little sprouts of hair sticking out. Funny story: I had an ultrasound around 30 weeks, and the ultrasound tech commented that this baby had quite a bit of hair for only being 30 weeks. I guess Addie better start growing some more hair or her sister may have more than her! For now, I will continue to love the piggy tails.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ktXBtqUeE7ednflMvXM9G6euhTHSjIXiEOnGJacxzYvlnhgacGhDB0VX2_iydXaaFgZfxTD7p1sdLIrdRLwHpaTC0Vuy9kWMKsIzmHNWIS5Kmtj0nU4MvWq5A43rWrmz6MoD/s1600/DSC_0477.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ktXBtqUeE7ednflMvXM9G6euhTHSjIXiEOnGJacxzYvlnhgacGhDB0VX2_iydXaaFgZfxTD7p1sdLIrdRLwHpaTC0Vuy9kWMKsIzmHNWIS5Kmtj0nU4MvWq5A43rWrmz6MoD/s400/DSC_0477.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581236583830616178" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt_L-CxGIT8g3Qgx3sP_H5inDgh8APRohxnrYVuMgM7nxRIdoN2WqdI1swTXk1Ir-MifSVOlkiLb_aKEbbN7bZ5lU1AQoxg_BUPNUAnTrf6_2n2mGZ65Hv8HJQMwWb0R-f-F7/s1600/DSC_0473.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt_L-CxGIT8g3Qgx3sP_H5inDgh8APRohxnrYVuMgM7nxRIdoN2WqdI1swTXk1Ir-MifSVOlkiLb_aKEbbN7bZ5lU1AQoxg_BUPNUAnTrf6_2n2mGZ65Hv8HJQMwWb0R-f-F7/s400/DSC_0473.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581236586144784018" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtMwEkVw-qbB9W47T1jJQDrXXF65_gdVdB5UdhtZhXB5GWxuq8BnzQZ5bc9SRk3aQry-DyxdRdRiq-y-bw2KBf5CBHGP1K4sBagweISYQ9ki9UN2xZzgah0i0d4ocWpcfH5wS/s1600/DSC_0471.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtMwEkVw-qbB9W47T1jJQDrXXF65_gdVdB5UdhtZhXB5GWxuq8BnzQZ5bc9SRk3aQry-DyxdRdRiq-y-bw2KBf5CBHGP1K4sBagweISYQ9ki9UN2xZzgah0i0d4ocWpcfH5wS/s400/DSC_0471.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581236578744807426" /></a>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-75860615952050419402011-03-06T22:52:00.000-08:002011-03-06T23:22:57.976-08:00Beach DayI finally got my camera, camera cord, and husband back! After spending a month in Northern California, Dave has finally joined us in Southern California. We are thrilled to have him home! It's been a crazy few months, but we are loving the warmer weather and being so close to family. We feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to move back to California so soon! Several things just seemed to fall into place, and we are back WAY before we ever thought possible. We had many great experiences in IL and met so many wonderful friends. We will miss them dearly! However, California has already been good to us. Addie has gotten to spend tons of time with our families. Last week, David had the morning off, and we met up with some cousins for a fun little play date at the beach. It was a little chilly, but it was fun to watch the kids run around and play. Charlie seemed to be quite content playing with the sand and water while June kept trying to feed the seagulls goldfish crackers, and Addie ate snacks on the blanket because she didn't like getting sand on her feet. Luckily, I was able to snap a few cute shots of the kids all together.

Where is the time going?!? I figured that I better get our holiday pictures up before any more time passes. After an eventful flight to California (including smoke in the cabin and a detour to St. Louis), we had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas break. There were a few trips to the beach, a neighborhood party, lots of walks, Christmas lights, and Christmas Eve at Gma and Gpa's house. Fun, fun, fun!!! Luckily, Santa didn't forget us in California. Santa brought Addie girl a new slide to keep at Nana and Papa's house since we will be living there soon. Since we haven't been to a park in Illinois in a while, Addie was completely in LOVE! Dave and I agree that watching Addie with her slide was our favorite part of Christmas. Kids make Christmas so much more fun. Unfortunately, I had to go back to Illinois early to work the New Years. Dave and Addie partied it up at my cousin's wedding and then at Grandma Graham's house to ring in the new year. Looks like it was a party with the cousins! Looking forward to 2011...moving to California and a baby sister are going to be highlights for sure!<br /><br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=d224c5d05da6d908da6e7c" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=d224c5d05da6d908da6e7c&skin_id=701&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt4" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make an on-line slideshow at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-9491357066448464162010-10-30T10:36:00.000-07:002010-10-30T10:57:22.161-07:00"Doggie"Yes, it's true we are going to have a new "doggie" in our family. According to Addie, baby is "doggie." This new addition is expected to arrive in April...meaning our two little kiddos will be less than two years apart. Was it planned this way...no. Are we thrilled...YES! We couldn't be happier to add another little Graham to our bunch! I am 16 weeks and counting. Only three more weeks until we find out if Addie will have a little brother or sister. Can't wait! <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FnDC_wo8xYwApL-yCDM-CqltPlVhpiZq_y5R19GpAJs?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcEy1Sj8UvT7nGayMZv9y1NbY4uR6WM0F_ysjMR9R1Bza7rZFXwwiYd6OTwwbiXb3_6zaARAMzMsamOXQAKKvzerEOQ6Skui2F66jwlw-ylSh3dPfrwXVrGacQdXR2wi0NSGN1/s400/BigSisterShirt.jpg" height="265" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViFGxQ5lyAv1WKBTDO-quzTziiVpormpV5Y3ebmoBcIFzV4rHzAALk4KtSNc5cw0vK0L4RBA0aS5QI07Luo4RWq616T-kjGAtWsP0ld2t5wFjjQVsDapwS3tDpSF4hWGT8fxe/s1600/DSC_0810.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViFGxQ5lyAv1WKBTDO-quzTziiVpormpV5Y3ebmoBcIFzV4rHzAALk4KtSNc5cw0vK0L4RBA0aS5QI07Luo4RWq616T-kjGAtWsP0ld2t5wFjjQVsDapwS3tDpSF4hWGT8fxe/s400/DSC_0810.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br />This one is just because... :)<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSd1WPyRbfyD9Vo6YBnf7PY3o9_W9Cz_LsjMdbisg89TF9fsoEgURhNh6LbWicd129xfUcMd8ywjusthzQ5zFCXqaPTxa92-TxQ24FZElXnWUQwfwu1Auco3TTm6qRzNNV1aPp/s1600/DSC_0782.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSd1WPyRbfyD9Vo6YBnf7PY3o9_W9Cz_LsjMdbisg89TF9fsoEgURhNh6LbWicd129xfUcMd8ywjusthzQ5zFCXqaPTxa92-TxQ24FZElXnWUQwfwu1Auco3TTm6qRzNNV1aPp/s400/DSC_0782.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-10111220401733487362010-10-30T10:10:00.000-07:002010-10-30T11:15:55.464-07:00FallI had to get a few fall pictures before winter sets in.

I love the colors, the weather, the holidays, the food, and, of course, the pumpkin patches. Living in Illinois, we are surrounded with corn fields which seem to provide the perfect setting for pumpkin patches. This year, we headed to Didier Farm for our pumpkin patch experience. We were shocked with how many people were there! Despite the crowd, the kids (and the adults) loved it!

Now, this zoo is not like any other zoo I've ever been to before...it is right in downtown Chicago with skyscrapers on every side and it's FREE! Thus, people would just be walking through the zoo to get somewhere or going on their daily run through the zoo. How fun would that be! Anyways, we had a wonderful time at the zoo. Some of our favorite animals included the giraffe, the tiger, the rhino, and, of course, the polar bear. Addie liked the animals and would point when she was actually paying attention. But I think she LOVED walking all by herself more! Miss Independent! It was another fun Chicago adventure.<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3w60c4zT59y3-fUmcv2MQSsSMqYTad8ErhyxP048ZWIHbMF4-85w8qdI2ryhUzgW_af_kwE3odipINIIdqFs9zVhKSNoVe7MjK28-TK1GYdnrS88ka1uu4_8Ly3HpGplzZJtu/s1600/Desktop1.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3w60c4zT59y3-fUmcv2MQSsSMqYTad8ErhyxP048ZWIHbMF4-85w8qdI2ryhUzgW_af_kwE3odipINIIdqFs9zVhKSNoVe7MjK28-TK1GYdnrS88ka1uu4_8Ly3HpGplzZJtu/s400/Desktop1.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-77596364926111075782010-06-21T20:09:00.000-07:002010-06-21T20:23:49.356-07:00Happy Father's Day<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FLh7zEQdzarjg3Snk4XsbqltPlVhpiZq_y5R19GpAJs?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKB7rTI8lKF3Kz63vooLR763oVLlCx58tpDPSs1zcmoqmrsu7aLLy-WGsMab8J6vqqugtQQCJtq3zUBoYwihlSgowE7pSF0ZYSUCFGwAujPZp1fIcTsz97u8xLh3vsW6Lz3E1e/s400/DSC_0240.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Happy Father's Day to the man I love.

Our Addie May is 1! Wow, that seemed like the fastest year of my life. I try to enjoy each and every day because I know tomorrow she was be a day bigger, older, and wiser. ;) Sometimes, I wish I could keep her as my little baby forever...but part of the joys of parenthood is seeing your child learn and grow. It still amazes me how much they change over the course of this first year. What an adventure! Addie is such a sweet, independent little girl. We are so LUCKY!

Lucky for us, it just happened to be our 4 year anniversary! We stayed in a hotel right on Michigan Ave. We had TONS of fun just visiting, walking around, shopping, going to the symphony (which was absolutely amazing), and eating some delicious food. After the grandparents left, Dave, Addie, and I walked to Navy Pier. We decided to ride the ferris wheel...I have to be honest, I was totally freaked out. The ferris wheel goes SO high, and while you do get a great view of the city, you also get a great view of how far away the ground is. We had such a wonderful weekend in the city. Thanks gma and gpa for the good times! <br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxSxY54p-0vND_b3ZrbIaHtBt7fpL4ZsfpXsFEixRV6x7S9MJ0PbtgQdLrT4Yc_8eJI5caPAEPu6FqzRVzeLax-AwQFFLfFFo8Ee2vPiPeU3lcjOX-EvEHIlLl90XId4axPo5a/s1600/Desktop.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxSxY54p-0vND_b3ZrbIaHtBt7fpL4ZsfpXsFEixRV6x7S9MJ0PbtgQdLrT4Yc_8eJI5caPAEPu6FqzRVzeLax-AwQFFLfFFo8Ee2vPiPeU3lcjOX-EvEHIlLl90XId4axPo5a/s400/Desktop.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br />P.S.

Addie is now ten months going on eleven! I thought she was going to be my LITTLE baby forever. I wouldn't exactly call Addie "little" anymore. She is our cute, little rascal who loves to cuddle, read books, get into most things, play with anything that makes noise, and see/pet DOGGIES. One of Addie's first words was doggie. To David's delight, she's obsessed! My apologies to those dog lovers out there (2 of which reside in my home), but I am not a fan of dogs. The other day she found the DVD UP, squealed with glee, started saying, "doggie" over and over again, and crawled right to the TV. Yes, she is absolutely in LOVE. And I am in LOVE with her. After ten months of having her brighten each and every day, we have a hard time remembering what life was like before our Addie May. What a blessing she has been in our lives! We cannot thank our Heavenly Father enough for sending us this sweet girl. <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/O2k3Ilf5yb8h43ZrOzwnyA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02WN9lIT0I1gbK3X_nH5_5J4_-czB2_Z76_9IyVZOeT-hUVD_usgGqmJ4OoGEV-iqE8bWtgI5eRbAeeCkTxupmpWeBduA0FyaXu9iACltcYciimr_5Vr36idoIjHZa2Oe6xns/s800/DSC_0544.JPG" /></a><br />It has FINALLY started warming up in Chicago! Thank goodness! Addie and I headed out to the Botanical Gardens for an afternoon. We had fun walking around and looking at a lot of dirt and bare trees...spring has not sprung in the gardens. Oh well, we had fun taking some pictures. <br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/eubNPGDxpL5yG4X_PQAFUQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiis8Um9j9R1zcWhIe3JD91au-g06cpx7Feo3EhnBnikyNyn1gTW8LvclyVfsJVZiXG7QvGLUmLXMlixEqW0KArRbf3SU_hz0PczT8tNDeGQSdu6BMcrL6GoLlH9ae3GqkgS_xt/s800/DSC_0008.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/CV0cJSNrfxw9RdO8v-VIyw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxL-1eislY2nHV7Ui1R1YDClHsn79jL2E4prDQNH6ExifDIsPJ1k9MRuw776UA9O9wpkxHHWCy3QuHBxqNgEJ5dyrpk94YHJHefy3ZSQdw6emAvj5PzT5sluwb_qyrVLNzo7_/s800/DSC_0016.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/t7RhEc3-p9Vx0rPYlJCEew?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQ31kPKzk3KW6B0izLuxdu5duRJXp5BENCDuVwlM9WPaZFVPltWiVnP-vGnMmlQzosKJmAb8qRFphn7fOBD8dEd04sKrU9pcvYLuA2SBa6qKvvs9AoxfumYyTbHWbDNRPkpsy/s800/DSC_0033.JPG" /></a><br />The Easter Bunny came to the Graham home on Sunday! Addie found her easter basket with some fun goodies. The Easter Bunny also hid some plastic eggs filled with baby treats. I thought Dave and I were going to have to help her find all the eggs, but to our surprise Addie quickly realized that the eggs had yummy things to eat inside. She crawled from egg to egg, eating what was inside, and then moving on to the next egg. It was hilarious...good times.<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xuzSGPnGMXQ4qYGlRcVQjA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIHZYrN2YVL_AhJ-6vefsbDBjFECbba_uBP8GPddfMI-ZoaEERj2wwtSyFlYSko8hc2tkZj2mh7t6zTaosIrrsmsTB4Mnxqb5L9rIkdrM3Y3TDI0MzD8MIRYy0YyLoQPmne0hv/s800/DSC_0059.jpg" /></a><br />Addie loves her Daddy. He usually has to go to the library to study because we have a hard time leaving him alone if he is home. Daddy tried to study at home recently, and Addie wanted to help. Probably not the most effective studying partner, but she sure is cute.<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Z0CUlKHwK2640vjhsF5mrg?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVFqm9cStIvXVizdRLth5muE13M-5WQzBWHZrRKu8bf11RPjjwbSw_VnaVqbMov5fKKeW_x8ot7kRt3vp0gnT5QN598O0oV79fowPUl_nwODVZq2T5j5H3bWdI1Anih1xv7VdJ/s400/DSC_0073.JPG" /></a>grahamkrackershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03905180373336979391noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34380697.post-73453965552629430962010-03-26T22:26:00.000-07:002010-03-26T22:33:29.349-07:00Silly Girl<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/bWyI9db4ECefB1FF0Vnbvw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-V0Mt5qch6RwsGqgKvtz2s43xsq-qU0Ho8pv7f7JnOZlbCpgXIYct_h7juIfTb5f7m0Jfg5DlUnJQkLZv2KXhf54hGP_LZQrwz9paWKK6TXAnUToD_Y2Z4ZG4OQ88mSRdIPI/s800/DSC_0538.JPG" /></a><br />Papa bought Addie these cool sunglasses last weekend.
