Double Digits!

I've totally been slacking and didn't post that my Gracie Jo turned 10 on the 28th! I can't believe we've hit the double digits! 10 always sounded so old when it was someone elses kid but now that it's mine I'm not sure how to feel! What a cute girl she is growing up to be! She has a sassy side but for the most part she is such a sweetheart. Her sisters love her so much and she sets such a good example for them. I am so thankful and proud that she is my girl!

We spent the weekend in St. George at a dance competition. The weekend was definitely too short but we all had a good time and Gracie's team did awesome. They got 1st place in all 3 dance routines. She was pretty nervous but they all did awesome! The girls even talked Greg into taking them swimming while we were down there. The pool was outside and supposedly heated but judging by the blue lips and chattering teeth I don't think it was that warm. I thought Chandler was going into hypothermia but they all had a blast! I wish I would have gotten some pictures. Gregs brother, sister and mom were down for the competition and they brought their kids over to swim and everyone had a great time.

Gracie shares her birthday with her Grandpa Joe so we had a little family party on our way home from St. George. I love that they will always have that special bond with one another. Happy Birthday Gramps! For her "friends party" , instead of a big party we decided to take a few of her friends to the movie 'Hop'. I think they all liked it and had a good time. Seeing her interact with her friends and talk to each other about school and giggle and laugh about things really made me realize how much she is growing up. So I think 10 is old enough. She can stop here for a while and just quit growing up. I am NOT ready for the teenage years!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE! WE LOVE YOU!!!
