Gracie's School's End of the Year Hoedown


On the last day of school Gracie's preschool had a Texas style hoedown. They had a BBQ, pony rides, cowboy ropers, they dug for gold, and of course in true cowboy style they had bouncy houses. Grace spent the entire time riding the pony and jumping in the bouncy house. She had a blast. She cried when we left. It was a good way to end the school year.

Preschool Awards for Gracie




Today Grace's preschool had an end of the year awards ceremony. Gracie received an award for being the most polite. We always joke that she will always say "excuse me" or "please" just before she grabs your toy out of your hand.
Grace had a great first year of school. I can't believe we have just one more year of preschool before kindegarten. Time sure flies.
These are just a few pictures of Gracie and her class at the ceremony. Of course we have a great shot of Grace and her partner in crime Emma. They are so cute.

What Californians Do When It's 100 degrees Outside



It has been way too hot lately so the girls begged to get wet. However the water was entirely too cold and they didn't last long. Also there is no need to place the date on these pictures as the white skin of my children is a clear indicator of the beginning of Summer. I have to be honest they won't be much tanner at the end of the Summer. (Nice leaning palm trees too huh!)

The Big Day!!!



Today Bailey was baptised. This was such a special day for our family. James was able to baptize her and we had many friends and family there to share in our special day. We are so proud of our not so little girl. She is growing into quite the amazing young lady. Thank you all for your love and support and for your good examples. We love you all.

Bailey's Baptism


I took these photos of Bailey prior to her big day and I was overwhelmed by how I felt seeing her all in white. We are so proud of her and she is so amazingly beautiful both inside and out. We love our Bailey and we feel so blessed to be her parents.

Bailey's Birthday Bash

This past Friday night I opened my door to 8 little girls to help Bailey celebrate her 8th birthday. I had no idea what to expect. We had dancing, pedicures and manicures and even a small conflict with some older boys over the fence of our backyard. It was everything I remembered about being a girl and so much fun.
