Finally -- Gracie lost 1st tooth!!

Yesterday was a big day for Gracie. She finally had a loose tooth and she pulled it out at school yesterday! She could not be more excited! Especially when she showed us the dollar the Tooth Fairy put under her pillow. I've never seen her so perky in the morning! She is even more excited that the tooth next to it is loose as well. I am not surprised since the tooth coming in seems HUGE in her tiny mouth ~ if you look close you can see it in the picture. Our little girl is growing up.......

Happy 7th Birthday Gracie

Gracie turned 7! How quickly the years go by. 1st grade is going good. She has picked up on her math quickly ~ a little slower on her reading but she will get there I am sure. Other Gracie news: She finally has her 1st official loose tooth. She is so happy you would think she hit the lottery!! She asked me if I was going to try a string to it and shut the door ~ too funny. Of course I said "sure if that's how you want it to come out". She backed out of course. HA!!

Hope all is well with all of you. Love, The DiOrio's

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008

In the years past Gracie has been something cute for Halloween. Ladybug, Tinkerbell, Kitty, etc. But this year she told me she wanted to be something scary. She decided to be Vampira. As Halloween approached she could not wait to get dressed up and specifically reminded me that she "gets to have blood on her mouth". Yikes!

Thanks again to the Hayes for letting us crash your neighborhood. Gracie loves trick r treating with Maddy and we love the pizza and beer!!

I hope everyone had a goulishly good Halloween!!

Annual Spooners Pumpkin Patch

We met the Wadleys, Steiners and we brought 2 of the Scanlon kids to Spooner Farms. We do this each year to get out pumpkins. The weather could not have been more perfect! We love this tradition and it amazes me how the kids change each year.


Jake Scanlon "pushing the envelope" He kepe BEGGING to get to go in the mud! He just stood right at the very edge. Too funny.

Coy Steiner looking adorable with his pumpkin.

Jaiden Scanlon and Gracie. So many pumpkins to choose from!

Say cheese! Jaiden and Jake Scanlon, Gracie and Kamy Wadley

Jake, Kamy, Jaiden and Gracie hangin' with the cow. MOOOOO!

Annual Puyallup Fair

Here I am! Did you miss me? HA! Here are just a few pics from the fair. Did not get too many this year ~ but a few cute ones on the swings with Carlie, Gracie and Maddy and a video from the slide. Gracie as usual wanted to go on all the biggest rides she could. If she could just get a few more inches....
She did not get that from me...I like my feet planted securely on the ground!
