Grace's Birthday and Baptism

Once again, blogger hates loading pictures the way I set up.

Last week was Grace's 8th birthday. She was so excited and wanted just a few things. Lego's, pillow pets, clothes, you know, just a few things. She was lucky enough to have some cousins visiting to share the day with. She requested chicken and rice casserole for her dinner with chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting.
Grace and Chris before the baptism. She was a lucky girl and had 19 family members come into town for her special day.

The 3 of us. The lighting was making my camera funny, but I didn't realize until now, but we get the jist of it.

Grace and Jordan after the baptism. They are little buddies and were excited to share the day together. You can't see in this picture, but Grace had a red harbow and red shoes on. She wanted a pop of color to go with her white outfit.

And of course, the random present picture at the end. Darn Blogger!

It is crazy to me to thing she is 8 already. She is so smart and funny and wants to be good all the time. She received a box of books from my parents for her birthday that she is quickly reading. Thank heavens for libraries, or we would spend all our money on books for her.

My Baby is One!!!

So Blogger won't let me load these right, but here they are


My baby is one, it is hard for me to believe. She had a thrilling night of left overs, but what does she know.3 months

6 months

9 months

after her first bath at home

12 months

Her fake sad face. It is all an act. She actually smiles at another person when she is done with this routine.

Not too sure about the candle.
She ate her cupcake like this for about 1 bite, then gave it to me to feed her.

She is such a funny baby, and her brother and sisters LOVE her. She can hardly get a moments peace from them. Some of her favorite things are:
rubbing any piece of clothing on her head
grapes
cheese
cup of milk
my purse and wallet
the bathroom, especially anything related to the toilet and toilet paper

She has the least amount of hair at this age for any of the kids, but perhaps the most attitude, which is saying a lot if you know Olivia.

We love this little girl, she makes our family complete.
