Changing Colors

A Walking Stick

Grace handles the terrain with ease, thanks to her stick.

The Donnelly Clan

A wonderful couple (from Iowa) stopped to take our picture while we drove to Aspen to take in the colors. What a truly spectacular drive.

Push-ups, Charlie style.

Brotherly Love

Charlie Laughing

Fun with Laundry

A Rousing Game of Gotcha

Gracie raids the kitchen cleaning supplies and takes off running.

Reading Curious George

Look at my Tower

Coloring at Ava's

If one headband is good, two is certainly better!

The Wright Great-Grandkids

Unfortunately little Jack couldn't make it, but five out of six ain't bad.

Yet another way to eat chips...

Great Uncle Joe teaches Gracie that eating chips with barbeque is quite a delicacy!

A Very Proud Great Grandma

Holly and Haylee ride while Great Grandma rocks Charlie to sleep.

Gracie and David Eat

They are supposed to be eating barbeques...but I think more Ruffles were consumed than anything else.

Profile of a Giraffe

Gracie's First Costume

Grace dips her feet

Gracie dips her feet (and her crocs) into the pool

Al and Tim

We Wrights know how to bond...and usually it involves the kitchen!

In the Water

I finally convince Grace to join me in the pool, while Auntie Kim looks on.

Annual Pictures

The last day and the last picture.

Fajita Night

Tim takes a deep breath and tries to share the kitchen during dinner preparations. Thank God for Tara or he would have lost it!

Watching the Rain

Grace inches down the deck to watch and feel the rain.

And She's Off

Come on, admit it. You knew that this was the next step.

Man to Man

Grandpa and Charlie have a heart to heart

New toys and Fun Aunts

Auntie Kim coaxes Grace into the water by letting her play with the bug catcher.

Lounge Chair

Grace takes a break while poolside.

Beach Life

Grandma and Grandpa Wright settle into their ususal positions...I have pictures from last year that would make you question whether or not they actually left!

Napping at the Beach

Next year, going to the beach might actually mean that Charlie will play in the sand...poor little guy barely left the deck.

Life at the Beach

Grandpa and Grandma return from their walk, while Grace explains how the world works to Auntie Kim.

Pretending to Nap

Gracie decides that if she climbs into bed with Charlie she can avoid getting dressed and keep her Nuks...of course her smile just might giver her away.

Ahh...sun, sand, and dump trucks

Gracie plays with her dump truck while Uncle Tim spends some quality time in the shade with a book.

I am getting so Big!

Charlie gives Mom a big smile. Boy he sure knows how to butter up his Mom!

New Boots

Gracie tries on her new boots. She really likes to wear them on the tile because they make such a cool noise.

Even Cowgirls have to shop

Grace loads up her shopping cart with her treasures. Yes, she is wearing a skirt, but when you're in a hurry to shop sometimes you don't properly adjust your clothing.

Ta-Dah!

I believe the direct quote from Gracie goes like this, "Mine do it! Mine do it! TA-DAH, I DID IT!" Not quite climbing Everest, but hey she's only two.

Sunday Picnic

This was the first Donnelly family Sunday outing...unfortunately this was the highlight. Note to self: start early or risk the wrath of tired cranky children.
