Grace’s 4th Birthday Party

26-Mar-08: On Grace’s 4th birthday… Gracie, Eva & Mommy made cup cakes for Grace to take to her friends at Brenda’s. Grace was so cute, she wanted to be in charge of cooking them, didn’t want Mommy’s help – she stirred everything, helped put them in the cups (licked the bowl!) and then even iced them. Some of her cup cakes had more icing than cake, but hey she did it herself. I can’t believe my little girl is FOUR – crazy how fast it’s gone. And she’s such a cute four, sweet, smart, inquisitive :-)

Grace's family birthday party....

3/23/08: Grace's birthday party w/ my family (Rick, Vickie & of course Nanni, Poppy & Uncle Rob) - we also did Rick's birthday then too! Since he will be 55 on 3/24... Grace loved the presents she got from Nanni/Poppy, Uncle Rob and Rick & Vickie. Below are pics of Grace opening their presents & her budding up to Uncle Rick!

Sugar Bugs

23-Mar-08: Grace wanted to eat candy before bed, and I told her no b/c there are “sugar bugs” in the candy that can cause cavities. She said, “Yeah – they might have a party in my mouth.” So I agreed – hey Nanni & Poppy told me everything was “MAGIC” and I turned out okay, right?

My first blog

My first blog - I'm soooooo excited to get started! I'm always wanting to document everything, and this is the perfect way:-)

Grace spelling her name

20-Mar-08: Note from Brenda, “I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I wrote Grace's name on the back of the paper that she colored and asked her to write it herself. She did the G and skipped a few and did the C so I showed her the R A E and then I asked her to do it herself. SHE DID IT!! I told her mommy will be so proud of her. She is so excited!! She had to show Jarod when he came downstairs. Of course, Breanna isn't up yet. But she will be so proud too. Especially since she worked with her on it.”

He doesn't have panties on?

19-Mar-08: last night Grace talked to Ella on the phone and asked her where her daddy was and Ella kept saying "tanning salon" and Grace kept looking at the phone funny and saying "he doesn't have panties on?" its funny b/c if you say them out loud they sound similar:-)

St. Patrick’s Day... I'm going to PINCH you

17-Mar-08: St. Patrick’s Day – Uncle Rob came home and told Grace he was going to pinch her b/c she didn’t have green on… well, Grace has taken this and applied it every day, she is now telling me, “Mom you don’t have “a butterfly shirt on, white shoes, pink, you name it!” I’m going to pinch you!” She loves it – but doesn’t apparently understand that it’s just GREEN and only on St. Patty’s Day.
