Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Happy Birthday to my dear Grandmother.  While she is no longer on Earth with us she lives on through all her children and grandchildren.  She taught me how to sew and told the best stories.  I hope my Mom, her, and our other family members are celebrating tonight in heaven.

The other day someone mentioned that you should google your name and click images.  I did this and a photo of my dear Grandmother popped up.  Brought back so many memories.  Miss you Grandma!

Gracie

Don't forget to take time to stop and pick the flowers(or weeds in our case)!

Happy Birthday Gracie Mei!

Our Gracie turned 9 today.  Oh the excitement!  She has been counting down for days.  What a big day she had.  Gracie was smiling most of the day.  When Zachary surprised her with a Barbie cake she was so happy!  She even put up with me taking some photos of her.  Oh, how we love this girl!

This and That

I have blog posts swimming around in my head but I never seem to take the time to actually write them.

We increased the boys' time at preK to MWF last week.  They are also staying through lunch.  They seem to have a great time but Jacob always cries when I drop them off.  When we pick them up Jacob isn't ready to leave school.  We are working on potty training with the boys too.  Not going so great.  I just don't know if they understand to tell us they need to go.

Grace slept over with a friend last night for the first time.  She was so excited and had a great time. Alyssa slept upstairs with Julia since Grace was gone.  She thought she was a very big girl.

Kristopher came home from Spring Break for a few days.  It was nice having him home.  Jacob always gets so excited to see him.  And yes Kristopher needs a haircut.

Zachary was in his first high school musical, Oklahoma.  He was in the pit playing his trombone.  Dallas and I went last night.  It was an excellent performance.

First Day of Preschool

A couple of photos from today.  I will add more later.
