He is the love of my life and I hope to spend many more years together!!! Love you Brad!!!

The Birthday Party!!

Here are the pictures from Gracie's birthday party on Saturday. She had lots of friends who came to celebrate with her!!! The day started off with the delivery of the bounce house!!! She bounced all day!! This year Gracie wanted a princess party. Everything turned out very cute!!! She was worn out by the end of the day!! My friend Amy was the photographer for the party. I have found out that if you don't get someone to help with photos, you don't have time to take them yourself or to really enjoy the party! Thank you Amy for your hard work!! I know that 6 little princesses and 3 princes were not easy to photograph!!!

The Birthday Girl!!

Gracie started her weekend with a fun filled party with family at Calhouns on the river!! This is her favorite restaraunt. Brad and I even took her there when she was just a week old!!! Gramma, PopPop, Mimi, Papa, Uncle Eric, Aunt Autumn, Madison, Uncle Wes and Cassie all came to celbrate with us! We had a great time watching Gracie get her new bike!! She wanted the Barbie(darby)bike as she calls them!!! It is very pink!! Her birthday party with friends and more family was on Saturday where she got to bounce all day in the bounce house!! This little girl was worn out on Saturday night!! I may go overboard on the birthdays, but Gracie will only turn 4 once and we love to celebrate that God has blessed us with this precious little life!!! We finished the weekend with a bike ride, soccer kicking time at the new Tommy Shumpert park. Plus one of Gracie's favortie dog showed up to play, Macy!!! What a great weekend we had to just play and spend time with family and friends!! God is great!! Hope you enjoy the slideshows of pictures!

Happy Birthday Gracie!!!

Today you are turning 4yrs old!!! Tonight at 11:25pm you came into this world 4yrs ago by C-section. You suprised us by coming a month early!! You were already being a little stinker by coming early, but you also did not want to come out!!! The past 4yrs has been the best years of our life with you!! You bring so much joy and laughter to everyone around you!! God has blessed us with a sweet little girl who is growing up way too fast!! Happy Birthday Boogie!!!!!!!!!!

Remembering When........

This time 4 years ago, who knew that Gracie would come into this world a month early!!!! I could not believe it, even when I was in labor!!! God blessed us with so much joy when Gracie arrived, words cannot express it!!! She is our ray of sunshine everyday, even on the days when the trials of parenthood seem to get you down!! I thank God everyday for a healthy daughter whom I pray will grow up to be a woman of God. When I had Gracie, it really made me realize how much my God loves me!! The love that I feel for her is awesome and he loves us so much more than that and forgives us everyday of our sins!!!!! We serve an awesome God!!! I know that I say this everyday, but I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by!! My little girl is turning 4!!! She had her 4yr check-up today and she did wonderful for the doctors and nurses! Just when you think they will not mind, she amazed me at how well she listened!! She will start preschool next week and this will be her last year at preschool :(!!! On to kindergarden next year!! Here are some pics of Gracie celebrating her birthdays!!
