August Update

In early August we got to have our 2nd Annual Girls Weekend at Heber.  And as it was last year...phenomenal!!!  I left refreshed, rejuvenated, and amazed by my group of fabulous friends!!!

Ang, me, Lou, Amy, Ali

Our little school girl!!!  Gracen started Preschool this year.  I don’t even have to mention all the tears shed and sleep lost making this decision.  When I told her we were going to go buy her some school clothes, she said, “(Gasp) I’m a big girl now!”  Yes, baby, sad to say you are a big girl, now!  She is growing and maturing right in front of our eyes!  Love this picture of her!DSC_0330_edited-1
Beautiful girl!DSC_0334_edited-1
She was so excited to get to school on her first day.  I, on the other hand, was a basket case.  I like to blame it all on pregnancy hormones, and I’m just gonna stick with that.DSC_0336_edited-1
Before we got out of the car, I was in tears.  But she was obviously fine.DSC_0339_edited-1
When I got ready to leave, she told me bye, waved, and said see ya later!DSC_0342_edited-1
Her first pep rally, sitting in her teacher, Mrs. Corey’s lap.  Not a fan of loud noises.DSC_0347_edited-1
We also made our first trip to Chuck-E-Cheese.  Let’s just say we won’t be doing that again any time soon.  The kids had a blast, but it’s a mad house!  As soon as Jackson rounded the corner and saw all the games, he bolted for them.  It was hilarious.
Gracen’s favorite game was riding the horse.DSC_0381
Jackson made this basket…may be following in our footsteps!DSC_0392
