THREE

Three. I can't believe Gracie is three. There is something about your first born getting older. For me, I hate it. I love it, but I hate it. Grace and I are buds. For two whole years it was just the two of us. Running all over town, shopping, walking, killing time. She is amazing. She has been the best natured little thing from day one. I knew her personality before she was even born. She is stubborn, and I love her for it. I can't believe that I was able to luck out with such an amazing little girl. I love her so much. Is it possible to be best friends with a three year old? I crack up at her all day. She always says "ahhh mommy, am I driving you crazy today?" She knows. She knows the days she drives me crazy. Tonight when I kissed her goodnight I said, "Gracie, thank you for being my little girl. Thank you for all of your help with Mike and for all you do for mommy." She quietly replied, " thank you for my chapstick" I love her so much. SO SO SO MUCH. Happy Birthday baby girl.

Happy Birthday Grace! I LOVE the donut beehive. That is so creative and cute! She is such a character. She sounds a lot like her momma =) The Joe Dirt outfit made me laugh. Why does the time go so fast?

That Joe Dirt picture is so funny!! I love it! I love that she said thatnk you for chapsitck haha that is so cute! How fun that you have such a sweet little girl! And I totally think it's possible to have a 3 year old as your best friend. It just means you are really a kid too :D

Grace is so lucky to have a fun mom that cracks up at her and does her hair so spunky. By the way, you look fine in the picture at the basketball game when grace is a baby. Talk to you soon june.

That donut beehive is sweet! Your little girl is darling, & I hope she had a wonderful birthday. PS. I was in good ol' Spanish Fork yesterday with my sister-in-law getting our toe nails painted! We were running low on time or I would've called and found out where your humble abode is! I was up there for the So You Think You Can Dance Tour..it rocked.
