Happy Birthday Grace!

Well, Grace is finally (really) 7. We have had many, many celebrations for her, but she is so very worth it. These are a few pictures from her little (4th!) party last night. Yes, I made the cake. and Yes, it looks much better from far away than up close. Happy Birthday Grace and mommy loves you so much!

Big Girl Grace is (almost) 7!

It is so hard for me to believe that Grace is almost 7 years old! It seems like she should maybe be 5. She is such a sweet child and so grown up now. These are just a few pics from her bouncy house party this past Sunday. She had a great time and is so excited for her real birthday this Sunday. Happy Birthday Grace!!!!

Finally!

I know it has been a very, very long while since I have posted. I have been so busy and of course a little lazy too:) Anyways, very exciting news!!! Grace has finally lost her front tooth. As many of you know, this has been a stubborn tooth and would not come out for anything. I guess I should correct myself and say that she didnt "lose" her tooth, her mommy yanked it out tonight. Yay, Grace! Look out for the toothfairy dust tonight:)

Zoo Party!

The girls were recently invited to a "zoo" party at a friends house and LOVED it. It was so cute, and they had a huge petting zoo in their backyard! Graces favorite was the bunny, and Mady was mesmerized by the goats. She spent most of her time in their cage (until they started playing with one another, and she was stressing to get out)! The horses were a hit too, and Madeline had no fear of riding them. Fun day and very good weather:)

School Time!

Im a little late, but here are the super cute pictures of Grace and Madelines's first day back to school! Both girls were pretty excited, and Madeline did excellent with this being her first time at First Baptist! Grace was a little excited, too, but had first day jitters in the car. She was so worried that her teacher was going to be "mean" if she wrote her letters backwards. Much to her delight, she came home happy and has been that was since. But, of course, 3 weeks of school in, she has started the classic "my stomach hurts" before school 2 days a week. All in all, however, school has gotten off to a great start!

Puppet Show!

We went to the library last Thursday for their first Puppet show of the Summer! It was cute, and the girls loved it. ( Well, mainly Grace. Mady lasted the first 9 minutes) Grace was thrilled when she got called up to play the part of a whale! She did a great job... but showed she is just like her mom when they had to politely tell her to stop talking to her neighbor at the end.:)

Summer Lovin!

The girls are starting to get a little tired of staying inside so much....so once again we resorted to going outside on the Dora slip n slide. They do, however, love this and get a kick out of of sliding down it. They were too cute today and decided they loved each other after all this afternoon. Enjoy!
