First Day!

When I asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up she said, " I want to be just like my mommy!" Needless to say I had the biggest smile ever!!!

Today was Gracie's first day of K-4! Ahhhhh! I can't believe my baby is going to school. She couldn't be more excited. When we dropped her off this morning she gave me a big hug and said bye mom I love you.... Oh, talk about melt my heart! But I didn't cry just yet! Nope not until I talked to my mom on the phone and told her what Gracie said then the tears started! She was miss chatty Kathy when I picked her up and the entire ride home.

Our Spontaneous Camping Trip!

On Friday last week Tommy called me about two o'clock and said he was leaving work early and bringing the camper home so have our bags packed we are headed to Santee for the weekend! Last week to say the least was a rough challenging week so to hear we were getting out of town just the five of us was music to my ears!!! Here are some pictures from our weekend!

Nothing better then coffee in the morning!

Pretty sure this was not how he was taught to make a fire in Boy Scouts!

I Love this curly red head!

Our view

Making S'mores!

Pretty sure she just shoved the entire marshmellow in her mouth!
