New Pictures!

Marley Man just turned 2 1/2 and he has grown up so much in the last 6 months! He is all boy and loves balls, getting dirty, and getting into mischief. He's definitely 2 but such a joy in our lives!

New Pictures!

Since Gracie turned 5 recently we had her pictures taken and it just made us realize how big she is getting. She is a joy in our lives and we're grateful to have these pictures to remember her at this moment in her life.

After party family time

After Gracie's party, we spent time together as a family. Grandma and Grandpa Williams and Uncle Leroy came into town for the party and we enjoyed being with them after all the chaos died down.

Gracie was all smiles with Uncle Leroy, but Marley wasn't feeling so good.

He just wanted to snuggle with Grandpa.

Leroy gave Gracie a digital camera and she
enjoyed praticing her photography skills on him.

Gracie's Birthday Bash

The long awaited day for Gracie's birthday finally came. She was trying to be patient, but it's hard when you're 5! Gracie requested a Horse party complete with balloons, piniata and cake. I did my best to fulfill her requests and the party turned out really fun and really crazy. We had 27 kids show up and it was chaotic but very exciting for the birthday girl.

We colored stick horses and then did barrel racing.(around cones) The kids each took their turn and loved being cheered by their peers. Then the kids cracked open the piniata and dashed for the candy. We ate pizza, sang to Gracie, opened presents and then had cupcakes. Gracie recieved so many nice gifts and enjoyed spending time with all her friends. It was a beautiful day and a bit windy, but perfect for making memories and celebrating how big our little girl is getting. She's growing up so much! Thanks to everyone who came. We love you Gracie and we're so blessed to have you in our family. You are an amazing girl with such a beautiful spirit. 5 years have passed so quickly and they have all been wonderful!
