Gretta’s Style

Gretta is really starting to develop her own opinion about her appearance, what shoes she wears, shirts, pajamas. She loves to wear hats, crocs, purses and the latest one….lipstick! She found a tube of lipstick in my purse the other week. I came in to the kitchen and she has pink all around her mouth. Since then she will ask for her “lips”. So, here are a few pics of Gretta and her style.
I love her curls!


State Fair

We made our annual trip to the Indiana State Fair. It was a beautiful day. Gretta enjoyed seeing all the animals, but did not however, enjoy meeting Alpha Pig(a character from a show that we watch on PBS). We had to bail at the last minute in line right before we got up to get our picture with him. She got a little scared, but continues to talk about him and how she got to see him. Crazy kid! We had the pleasure to go with Sara & Noah which made the experience even more fun. We love hanging out with the Farnys!!

Birthday Party


So, the birthday party was tons of fun! Most of our friends and family were there, but we were missing a few important people. Some we got to celebrate with later. I had lots of fun decorating and had lots of help thanks to Carrie & Mom. So, here are the pics as promised. My Mom made the cake and I decorated it, it turned out really well. It was so much fun, I love birthday parties!

Brookville Camping Trip 2010


So, for the last several years we’ve been going camping in Brookville, IN with Gretta’s Grandma & Grandpa Welch, Paps & Grami (Gretta’s Great Grandparents) Uncle Caleb and us. We have a lot of fun together. This year I tried a couple new recipes with the Dutch oven, both took longer than expected but turned out to be really delicious, if I do say so myself :p

WOW...it has been too long!


So, it has been too long since I've blogged about Gretta. We are all doing great. She is growing like a weed. She changes all the time. Her vocabulary is unbelievable to me. People ask me all the time what does she say, if you can say it she can say it and she probably will, so be careful :)

She knows the alphabet song and can count to 13. She definetly knows the colors pink, blue and brown. We are still working on the rest. When in doubt she picks pink. Such a girl!

We had the Toy Story Birthday Party, it was a blast! I will try to post some pictures. We went to the State Fair last week with Sara & Noah which was really fun too. We've been camping in Brookville which was more fun with Gretta this year.
She is such a joy to have and I love watching her personality develop more each day. I love it!! Well, I gotta go, but hope to write more later.
