Reality Shows

The other day we were having a discussion with Andy's parents about reality shows. They were teasing Kyndall about that she should be on 'Dancing with the Stars'. Kyndall quickly responded 'That would be nice, but I think I would rather be on American Idol.' With which Grace perked in and added... "Well, I'm gonna be on Biggest Loser!" I think I've ruined my 5 year old!!! She did not see why that was so funny to us!!! Funny girl... her brother who is 3 years younger than her is already the same weight that she is.... she has a lot of work to do to make it on that show!!!!

NO TRAINING WHEELS

Grace had a flat tire on her bike, which we hadn't fixed because of the bad weather, there was not a reason to fix it yet. So today, Wyatt decided to fix the flat tire for her. While putting the bike back together, he didn't put the training wheels back on:) Grace didn't miss a beat. She just got on and rode off. I guess being child number 4 I hadn't taken the time yet to work with her without training wheels, so she is quite a bit older than the rest were at this stage, I guess it just clicks at a certain age huh? Being the MOM I was worried about the gravel road being a problem, or turning, but it was all a piece of cake to her! We couldn't get her off of the bike! (Don't notice the lack of helmet.... thank goodness we live in a rural area, you can get a ticket for that here! Oh, and her outfit just screams..."It's Sunday and Mom and Kyndall were at choir practice when I got home from church so I could wear anything I wanted!")

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!!

CAUTION: The following post contains A LOT of PINK!!!
Yesterday was the BIG, much anticipated, Fifth Birthday of our Miss Grace!!!
Happy Birthday Gracie Boo!!! Grace is such a great child! Full of personality and life! Everything is fun and exciting to her. She is always the center of the room when she goes out:) Funny thing about Grace and living in a small town, Grace is pretty sure she knows everyone in town because EVERYONE KNOWS GRACE!!! Really, truly, we can go anywhere and people know who she is! Funny girl! Grace adores her older siblings and is Dallins very best buddy ever. Daddy's Princess, and Moms Bestest Buddy, we truly do EVERYTHING together. I can't believe she is a big 5 Years old!
Here are some shots from the Birthday Party (it's been being planned for only 5 months! She was SUPER excited!)

The Birthday Girl in all her Glory!! (Why is it when you want a great picture they don't want to cooperate...)


This one is a shot of all the girls at the table working on their crowns and making their "kiss" for the pin the kiss on the frog game! We put some bright lipstick on them and then they kissed the paper to make their kiss. She had a great group of girls come. So fun!


The Cake she ordered back in January... she is a planner:)


Blowing out the candles...



Hitting the Pinata... this was all she talked about the rest of the day. Had I known that we would have just done a pinata and had cake!


These were the Birthday Bags for each of the girls. I ended up making 10 of them (so Kyndall could have one and an extra in case one got messed up) After the 3rd I was rethinking my plan, but was commited at that point! I was super excited about these though. My Dollar Tree Placemats worked pretty well!


These two are for Grandma and Grandpa. This was one of the only Birthdays that they haven't been here to watch the kids open their present. I don't know why I just didn't have her do it at Easter weekend while we were there, just wasn't on my mind at the moment I guess. She was ecstatic!!! Look at that face!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!
