Beach Trip

We recently went to San Diego with some of our good friends, stayed in a beach house, and went to Sea World. The kids has so much fun! Thank heavens for modern technology! The DVD player saved me during the 6 hours there and back!

Turning 6

For Gracies 6th birthday she really wanted to have a water party. So, we borrowed Grandma and Grandpa's huge blow up slide and set up a slip-n-slide and the kids had a blast. It was a lot of fun! She invited more kids this year than in years before. So in our little house things got a little loud, but all that matters is that at the end of the day Gracie said, "This was the best day ever! My perfect day!" It made sweating it out for an hour worth it!

1st grade

Gracie started the first grade last Wed. This time I didnt cry, but I do miss her. She's growing up. It's fun, but sad. She likes her class and new school. It's funny the difference a year makes. Last year I picked out her clothes and did her hair how I wanted to. This year she picked out her clothes and was very specific about her hair.
