(Holly W., how am I doing on my 4th post ever?)

Our kids are growing up so fast and sweet times like these are few and far between. Gracie idolizes her brother and he is getting to the age where loving on his sister, "is not cool". Of course, behind closed doors, Elijah loves on his sister and looks after her. I hope that continues.

That's right folks! It is a snake! I moved my garbage can to take the trash to the street and this is what was under the bag. I called Jeff freaking out to tell him to come kill it. I asked him what to do and he said, send me a picture. Why did I get the feeling that he was excited and not worried about the well being of his wife. This is the picture I took and sent. I am not used to this country life yet!



Gracie is such a ham! If I had to guess right now what she will be when she grows up, I would have to say an actress. She loves drama, singing, and hamming it up with her friends. This was at her friend's princess birthday party. This was also a very hard night for me. This was the first night she spent the night at a friend's house for a slumber party. Hillary, who she spent the night with (in the pink dress and pearls), only lives around the block. However, I stayed home all night..."just in case Gracie needed her mommy"!

So, so, so sweet! Elijah wants to be just like his daddy. I caught him shaving in the bathtub!

By far, one of my all time favorite things! This is a "Buttercups" cupcake! Of course, they are delicious! The best ever made. In fact, the owner of this store was on Cupcake Wars last week and although she didn't win, it was not because of the taste. There will be buttercups in heaven, I am sure of it! When I took this picture, I had to turn the cupcake around because I had already stolen a bight.

Sweet memories of the last few months
