Here Is An Update

Wow...I can not believe that the month of September is almost over. Things are moving really fast these days. I thought some of you who check our blog are thinking "what has happened to these two girls?" Well, things are going great!!! I am so thankful to report that Graci is loving school and going to Mrs. Jackies. She has really been a big girl about having to go somewhere everyday. I am so blessed that she can adjust to change.
School is in full force for me right now. I can not wait to be done with school and hopefully teaching somewhere this time next year!!! I am having a great semester so far and am learning a whole lot. This past week and weekend Graci and I helped Adam and his family move in his new house. He is really excited about having his on house. Graci is also excited about Coachs new house she really loves playing in his backyard. I guess that is about it for now for the update. Maybe my next post will be more fun and I will have some pictures to put up.

Sara Glenn and Graci

Amanda and I have had several people think that Graci and Sara Glenn look like sisters. I have never really noticed it until this picture I took of them the other night when we went to watch Chris' football teams first game. They really do favor each other.

Graci at Open House and First Day of School

I have been crazy busy with school getting started so these pictures are very delayed. Graci is going to Calvary Baptist 3 year old Preschool. She loves her teachers Mrs. Rinehart and Mrs. Betty Gail. This has been a big transition year for Graci and I so I am very thankful that she loves school and her teachers. I can't believe my littlie girl is growing up.

Pontotoc Bodock Twilight Festival 5K

Friday night Adam and I ran in the Pontotoc 5K with three of are friends. The race started at 8:00 that evening. I know that was going to be a challenge becasue I don't ever run that late I am normally in bed by then (I know mylife is not exciting). We had been told that this is known as a challengeing 5K because of the big hills in the race. It was challenging to say the least. We all had a great time doing it but I am not sure if we are going to do it again next year. We stuck around afterwards to hear the results of the race. To our amazement Adam and I both got first place in our age group (Watch out 2012 Olympics here we come) ha ha...jk. Two of the friends that we ran with also got medals. So we celebrated by going to Subway and eating...watch out we are party animals. ha

Cadie Turns 1!!!

This past Saturday Adam, Graci, and I loaded up and joined the rest of his family in celebrating Cadie's 1st birthday. Cadie is Adam's niece. We had cupcake's and ice cream sunday's. It was a great afternoon filled with a sugar overload. Happy Birthday Cadie I am so glad we got to share this special day with you!!!

Our Black-eye & 1st Dentist Trip

Last Thursday our day did not start out the smoothest. Graci is in a routine now where she likes to get up at 6:30 or sometimes a little before....I am thinking about moving her to the Brashier house since they are all great early risers. Its hard for some reason for me to get up 7. I just can't seem to pop out of the bed if the clock is saying 6:30. So, Graci got out of the bed and BOOM, BANG, AHHHH, MOMA!!!! I shot out of the bed. Graci, had trip over her rocking horse and fell on her piano and hit her eye. Well, my first thought was "I hope she is ok" and "great we are going to the dentist this is going to look real good."
After we calmed down from our fall we made it through the rest of the morning and went to the dentist. I will be honest I have not looked forward to taking Graci to the dentist at all and that is probably why I have put it off as long as possible. I decided that we would Dr. Ritter in Saltillo. He is a relative of Sarah's so I figured he must be a good doctor and he was. I was very pleased with Dr. Ritter and his staff. They were great...Graci was not so great. It was a disaster needless to say. I am so sorry to the sweet nurse who tried to clean Gracis' teeth. She tried to bribe Graci with everything to get her to open her mouth for a cleaning and she would not. I had to take her in the bathroom and she got disciplined and that still didn't work. I know that when I left they probably thought I gave Graci that black-eye and were calling DHS because we were not doing good at all. After the dentist I thought it would be a great idea to give Graci and I time to ourselves. I dropped her off and mothers day out and came home to a quite house. I was only able to get one picture that day and yes Graci is smiling in it but please don't let that smile foul you because it was taken before we left foe the dentist. Maybe next go around will be better...I hope.

Wal-Mart Trip With Graci

This morning I needed to run and get a few things from Wal-Mart so Graci and I loaded up in the car and went. I let Graci set in the big part of the grocery cart because I did not have much to get and that is her favorite thing when I let her set there. I was pushing through Wal-Mart not paying much attention to what Graci was doing but I know I heard her carrying on a conversation with someone. I looked down and yes to my surprise she had a 8oz package of Philadelphia Cream Cheese up to her ear talking on the phone. I that point I realized...you know what she can keep talking on that cream cheese phone of hers as long as it gets us through Wal-Mart peacefully, and it did.
