Gracie’s Party at Chuck E. Cheese
The past couple years, Gracie has had the “big” party with friends from school and church but this year my Mom wanted to keep it smaller. When she asked Gracie what she wanted to do, Gracie said she wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese. Really? Chuck E. Cheese? She had never been and a friend at school had told her about it so Mom planned her party there this past Friday. Word of advice…don’t go to Chuck E, Cheese on Friday night. For the adults, we were less than satisfied. It was pretty cheesy {no pun intended} and it was PACKED. But Gracie had a blast and that’s all…
Happy Birthday, Gracie Lain!
Eight years ago today, Gracie {my little sister} graced us with her presence almost 4 weeks early and I’d really like to know where the time went. She can’t really be eight, can she?

I feel blessed to have had a great Labor Day weekend but the weekend before was just as good! Two weekends ago we spent the entire Saturday in Heaven my parents pool.

On a hot Summer day, I can’t think of anything better than getting to spend the day floating…
Work it, girl.
Hey y’all! I’d like you to meet my sister, Gracie. Yes, you heard me right. Gracie is my sister. No, she is not adopted. Yes, we have the same mother AND father. Yes, there are 18 years between us. To say that she was a surprise would be a huge understatement. Want to hear another huge understatement? She may be a little spoiled. Ahem. Can’t really blame her, though. She’s the youngest of 5 children and sweet as sugar. Whatever Gracie wants, Gracie gets 99.9% of the time. This past weekend she was in her first fashion show. Belk hosted the show and allowed the girls to…
