Gracie loves to go Bye Bye!

I noticed this past week, if I put Gracie in her car seat she will start to wave goodbye. Then other day when I dropped her off at her Grandma Dawna's house, she looked at me and waved goodbye. So now that's her new favorite thing to do, is to wave goodbye anytime she gets the chance to. I took a video on my camera, because it's just so cute!

Gracie's First Haircut!

A week or so ago, I gave Gracie her first haircut. It was really long in the back, so I just evened it up. She did a great job staying still. I have had so much fun styling it!

In memory of Richard Hogan

Over the holidays, we are sad to say that Rick's Dad passed away. He had been sick for over 10 years with lung disease caused from an accident at work. He was the strongest person and hero to everyone that knew him. We are so grateful for the time we had with him and for all the memories we will cherish forever. While I was at work a few days a week, Gracie was able to spend time with him and loved every second of it. He always called her "Baby Lou". I know Gracie will always remember her Grandpa Richard and how special he was. We will always love him....

Fun times at the ocean!!!

Two days after Christmas, we went to the ocean with friends and family. It was so much fun. I hope we will get to do something like this every year! While we were there, the kids went on a treasure hunt and found a treasure box. It was to cold for Gracie to help find the treasure, but she did enjoy playing with it!

Happy Holidays everyone! Sorry about being late, the Hogan family has been through a lot the past few weeks. We will start with our Christmas we had as a family the weekend before we left for Seattle. This is one of the many toys Gracie got and loves!!!

Gracie so far has loved airplanes. She plays for a little while then goes right to sleep(I just hope future flights will be the same). This is on our way to Seattle to spend Christmas with my family. When we arrived in Seattle, there was so much snow. My parents had over 14 inches in their yard. I didn't get any pictures, but it was a pretty white Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went over to some friends house with my family. We had so much fun with everyone!
Christmas morning was so much fun! Gracie loved playing with the wrapping paper and all her new toys.
