Grandpa and Amare Everyone focusing and working hard
Gracies finished project - it is hard to tell - but it is a kitty - and she was so excited about it she wanted to sit by it, get her picture by it, but she wouldn't stop swaying back and forth- so that is why she looks retarded in the picture- but oh well she loves it - it even sat next to her in the car on the way home!My finished pumpkin- a scary MONSTER!

Bens finished pumpkin - the grill on a jeep!- those circles are suppose to be headlights!

10K

That is me running my first race ever! a 10K - i got it in my head that i needed to participate this year in peach days and so i signed up! I have been saying i want to do it for the past few years and i was happy i finally did it! i decided six weeks before the race so i started with a mile and then would add one every week - and i did a walk/run thing because i don't think i could have ran the whole thing straight! but i did it in an 1:08 - which i think is good for my first run- next year i will have to do better- because it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be - the only embarressing part is the last mile you run with the parade and so i could feel everyones eyes on me! but that is the great thing about an ipod- i just turned the music up! but it was cute ben brought gracie out to the road and so when i ran past i gave her a kiss and then i kept going but apparently she started bawling and crying for her mom- so her aunt breanna picked her up and ran with her for a while to try and catch up! it was cute but it was fun to accomplish a goal!

pretty princesses

This is gracie and her friend Haylee- they just had to put on pretty princess dresses and dance around the house! so sweet Gracie loves being a princess! sometimes when we are leaving the house and i tell her to go get ready she will put this crown on and insist that it is what she needs to be ready! i love it!

Mom got her the pretty purple dress for her birthday and she loves it and i made(attempted) to make the cinderella dress for a princess birthday party gracie went to! they both just look so great
