I say it every year but I just can't believe my big girl is another year older! Where has the time gone? It doesn't seem that long ago that we were celebrating her 8th birthday and it definitely doesn't seem like 9 years ago that we walked across the street to the Logan hospital to have our first baby! Gracie is such a sweetheart and has been such a big help to me these days. I'm realizing more and more that I really rely on her for help and it's so great to know she's getting old enough that i can really depend on her to help out. She is a such good student and loves school. We had to talk her into missing a half day of school to go to St. George with us last weekend. She was almost willing to miss out on our trip so she could go to school for half the day! Not sure where she gets that from! In the last year she has really grown up. She is more willing to try new things. She played junior Jazz basketball this year and really liked it and she also started taking guitar lessons. If she can just remember to practice I think she well be good at it. She has also become her dad's number one farm hand and drives the truck for him when he needs help feeding the cows. She is such a good example to her sisters and she loves them very much. She loves teaching them new things and is usually pretty willing to help them out. There are those times when she can get a little feisty and a tad on the moody side but she is a girl after all and we are learning that's what girls do. We love Gracie so much and can't wait to see what the future holds for her..jpg)
