Gracie's 7th Bday

Her favorite, Sweet N' Sassy, making her own lip gloss . . .

Then off to one of our favorite places, Barnes and Noble for some reading . . .

Lunch with Mop at McDonald's!

Gift time!! Meet Sam, Gracie's new Beta fish!

She wanted a chocolate pink guitar cake, so a chocolate pink guitar she got! YUM!

Could those smiles be ANY bigger! I LOVE IT!!

Christmas!

Snow on Christmas Eve just in time!!

We got a Wii!!! . . .

With the Eads . . .

In Abilene with the Straders . . .

"For unto us is born this day . . . a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Thanksgiving - Camping!

Our first time in our "new" camper (again, thank you Lord; and thank you John and Bibby!)! We camped in Dinosaur Valley State Park with Greg's family. We set up our camper and slept in it but didn't use it much for anything else since the Eads had their trailer.

The weather couldn't have been more beautiful! What a fantastic time we had hiking, looking at dino tracks, crossing the river barefoot, star-gazing, eating s'mores and Andy's special campfire cobbler!

Halloween . . .

. . . or as we like to call it, All-Saints Day. Here's our characters:

Gracie even won "Honorable Mention" at her school's carnival!!

A dream come true!

Our precious friends from church felt led to give us their pop-up camper after we had asked about it 2 different times when they were selling it. We have talked about wanting one for years, but knew it would be way in the future with our financial goals to make first. And then look what the Lord did!!

Thanks John and Bibby! You will be with us on every trip in spirit!

Skating!

I had the priviledge of taking Gracie rollerskating for the first time at a Girl Scout event. It was a blast! I think I had as much fun and she did! We also took her friend Sydney, who showed her the ropes!

Isn't this the cutest! It's a little "walker" for newbies!

HSU!

We love us some HSU Homecoming! It's always a full weekend, with plenty to do. Friday night SING, Saturday morning "Kiddie Korral", afternoon football, and seeing old friends - what could be better! Here's just a taste:

Manaw got the best shots at the "Kiddie Korral" while Momma was at a photo shoot. I'll post those if I remember!
