Grace Turns 8!

July 1st Gracie's 8th birthday!  How she is already 8, I have no idea.  But we had the busiest day ever.  First up, we went to breakfast at Panera.  The birthday girl wanted a chocolate chip muffin.

After breakfast, and even though it was cloudy and cool, we went to the pool to swim.  Our friends Meryn and Piper came too.  The girls couldn't get enough waterslides that day.




After swimming for 3 hours or so, we headed bowling.  In the summer, I sign us up so kids bowl free!  

After that, we went to eat at Cici's Pizza.  Gracie loves their pizza and brownies.  Plus it's all you can eat!  You can't beat that. There was a balloon artist there as well and Gracie got a parrot!

After that, we headed to Presley's t-ball.  He loves his baseball and Gracie was mad that we had to go there on her birthday.

But after t-ball, we headed home to open presents.  Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Amy came over too.



Gracie had a science party this year.  She got really into experiments and that. I'll post pics from her party later.  She got a science experiment book,
a new camera, 


and evne a big bag of science experiments.  Our kitchen has been quite the busy place this summer filled with things growing in bowls and all kinds of goop.

One thing she really wanted though was a Lego Friends cruise ship.  Well she got it and we built it and she loves it.

We sang "happy birthday" to the birthday girl.

She made a wish and blew out her candles.  I wrote her a poem for her birthday but I will need to find it to post.

The next day, Gracie got to have a small sleepover with her bestie. The littles packed up for a sleepover at Grandma's house.

Gracie invited Jackie, Lily, and Meryn over to sleep.  The girls had hot dogs for dinner.

And then we made a s'mores for dessert.



Gracie loves these girls and I do too.  They are a great bunch of girls and I couldn't be happier that she has made some really wonderful friends! 


Happy Birthday Gracie Girl!
