Polka-Dot Legs

That's what Isabel called them.

While we ate snack on the couch one day

she lined them all in a row  

and announced "Polka-dot legs!"

Then ate them all gone!

Cute as can be.

First Day

Its the first day of school!
And here she goes growing up on me n' all.
How dare she do that.

FOURTH GRADE

                                                                       Have a great time!

I hope 4th Grade blows your mind!

Grace's Birthday

She turned Nine!

Nine things I like about Grace:

1.  She is so full of life
2.  She is fun!
3.  She has a great sense of humor and often cracks me up with her smart wit
4.  She is very competative and passionate, and because of that is a great athlete, and very fun to watch   play sports
5.  She is a hard worker and will give you everything she's got
6.  She has a heart for worship and a love for the Lord
7.  She is a great decision maker
8.  She is an encourager.  Often what she says is wise beyond her years.
9.  She is bold and I love it when she prays for me
and just one more,

10.  She forgives so easily

the athlete

I can't believe it is already the end of July.

Where has the summer gone?

It feels like it is slipping through my hands

when all I want to do is hold it tightly.

The girl's gotta have her boots...

Isabel loves her cowgirl boots.
She wears them a lot.

They use to be Gracie's and are still a couple sizes too big,

but that doesn't bother her.

She plays in them and wears them out
doesn't matter to her
just gotta have me some boots.

My Birthday

Today is my birthday. 

I am having salmon for dinner and this drink. 

Yumm!

Happy Friday!

Bowling

Gracie's strike in photos:

and celebration:

Isabel played a game, but after that, was not interested.

Gracie played the extra games and finally got a strike.

It just wasn't coming easy that day.

So when she did get it, it was worth celebrating.
