My little twinkle toes...

I didn't get a chance to post these in May when Gracen had her first recital, so here they are.

As we enjoy our Labor Day weekend, I will be posting more from our summer adventures.

Have a great Labor Day weekend.

Such a cute little ballerina. Oh, what a sweet night.

Ready for our tap number "Shake Your Groove Thing" and boy did she ever.

I can't wait until next year...

Friday Flashback to Summer... First 4th in Savannah

Some of our 4th of July highlights from our first 4th of July in Savannah, Georgia...

Seeing the Oscar Mayer weiner mobile and

waiting for the big fireworks show on River Street.

A little tooth drama....

If you know Gracen you know we have had our fair share of drama. Well hello drama, AGAIN! We can't just loose our first tooth and it be a positive happy experience. No, Gracen has another tooth pushing out her first baby tooth. To her this is the worst thing that could happen. She is so mad at this "big" tooth for pushing the baby one out, but most of all she doesn't want the tooth fairy to get her tooth or pay her for it. In fact, she says that she is going to hide it so the tooth fairy can't find it. I have never heard of a child not wanting money for their teeth. Go figure... I know she walks to the beat of a different drum, but it never makes sense to me. I guess in a way, I am glad that she doesn't do what other kids do. She is definitely one of a kind and I love her for that!

2nd Day of School... First bee sting

Today we got a call 20 minutes before school was out from Gracen's teacher telling us that she had been stung by a bee. If you know Gracen, this immediately sent me into Mommy MODE. I was out the door and half way down the block before I even heard if she was OK. Not only was she OK, but she never even cried!

When I got to the school she was waiting in the office for me with her little ice pack and she is so proud of herself. When I asked her if she was OK, she said "Sure Mommy, they have a little hospital in the Principal's office." Which made me laugh and I knew then she was just fine. She also told me that while she was waiting for me to pick her up, she told the office staff all her bee sting stories. The story of when Jamie was stung at the beach this summer and best of all... when I got stung "in the bottom." Told her that I got stung in the bottom of the leg not "in my bottom" and then she says "Well, Mommy that is OK they probably weren't listening to me anyway."

I love this kid!!! She wanted to make a little video to share the experience. The link is below...

First Day of School....

Ready for Kindergarten!

We filled out paperwork, got our supplies, packed our lunch box and backpack, picked out an outfit, got a great night of sleep, and we were ready for our first day of school. Our new teacher is so sweet and G had a great day. My favorite part was seeing her walk home on the path... It is so hard to see her grow up, but I am a one proud Momma!

A moment I will never forget!
