Happy Birthday to our 5 year old girl!

It was G's birthday on July 24! When she was born fireworks went off (literally-it was Pioneer Day)! And, we've felt like that about her ever since. She is so spunky, joyful, intelligent and precious. She is kind, compassionate, and so capable. Some of Grace's favorites at 5 years are:
Polly Pockets
Sushi
Horses
Giggling
Dogs
Dolls
Bike Riding
anything glittery
lip gloss
BOOKS!
drawing
doing experiments (usually including all my baking supplies)
wrestling with her brother
setting up forts for her baby sister to try to get through
swimming
The library
suckers and ice breakers
Everything...she's so joyful and always excited about life!
Love you Gracie girl! You make us so incredibly happy!

You make we want to move to Oregon, graze through tulip farms, eat zucchini, and devour raspberries. You lucky girl. Have you met up with the Richard's yet? I think they live in your home town. (Lake Oswego?)

Happy Birthday Grace--even though I'm 10 days late! Grace and I like a lot of the same things--I always wanted a Polly Pocket--those things are so cool. What a darling little girl! I can't believe that she'll be starting kindergarten in the fall!
