Eight is Great!





It's hard to believe that my little girl turned 8 years old this weekend! What a big day. I can remember like it was yesterday holding her in my arms for the first time and what the first few sleepless nights were like. I can't believe that was 8 years ago! Then I look at the 3 cute little boys I have and it gives perspective to me. I can see exactly how much has happened in the past 8 years! It's hard for me to accept the truth ...that I'm growing older right along with them. Grace had a party with her friends and with the Moore's and Smith's - it was a Very Busy weekend! We are so grateful to be so close to all of them. It's always fun to gather with cousins, aunts and uncles. We have been so blessed! For Grace's birthday, I wanted to list 8 of the MANY reasons I love her so much.




1. She has the cutest, most contagious giggle!


2. She is an excellent student- Straight A's (let's hope it stays that way!)


3. She is the BEST big sister and a Huge help to me.


4. She likes to read her scriptures and tries to do what's right.


5. She likes to do crafts, just like I do!


6. She loves to help out in the kitchen with any baking, cooking, or cleaning I'll let her help with.


7. She loves to play games and is very patient with the boys while we all play.


8. She reminds us to have FHE each week and even helps out with the lessons.




I am one lucky mom to have such a TERRIFIC daughter. I am so proud of her! I love you my sweet Gracie girl!
