Labor Day Weekend / Gracie B Day

Friday was Gracie's birthday and Hayden, Colton and myself had to go get her birthday present.  So I dropped Gracie off with Aunt Sheri and Jessica to play with Maeleigh while we went to Athens after school.  Gracie was a good girl, and she took a long nap on their couch too!  Good thing because she still had a lot to do on her birthday.  All she wanted was a Minnie Mouse scooter, so we got that first and it was  a bargain because it was only $25, so we went to Toys R Us to find a few other things to go with it.  Hayden had to have a zhu zhu pet and case, so we went ahead and picked Gracie out on too...no fighting that way!   We also got her a Minnie Mouse apron and chef hat and a tea set, yes another tea set but she loves them and they are all so exciting for different reasons!  When we got home Hayden distracted Gracie while I got everything wrapped for her to open when Daddy got home. 

 Mimi and Pop took us all out to eat Japanese to celebrate Gracie's 3rd birthday.  Gracie really eats good when eat there, she blinks the entire time that they cook it though.  She is easily scared and absolutely doesn't like loud noises, but she sat in her chair the whole time and enjoyed it.   I had made strawberry cupcakes with sprinkles earlier, so we ate those when we got back home.  We also gave her some birthday presents since Friday was her actual birthday!  She was so excited when she opened all of her presents, she liked all of them but she really loved her Scooter!!!! 

Saturday, we took it easy around the house and watched Georgia Football.  I personally like the later games because I actually get to watch and enjoy them.  The girls wore their cheer leading outfits and Colton wore his Georgia attire too! 

My good looking kids!! As Hayden and Gracie would say "Go Bulldogs"  Mark corrects them everytime and says it should be "Go Dawgs"  oh well it is cute no matter which way they say it!!!

To bad he wasn't on the team, I bet they would have won!

Sunday, we went to Mimi and Pop's house to celebrate the holiday with all the family.  It was supposed to be a pool party but the weather had other plans.  The pool was a little cold, so the girls enjoyed the hot tub and they got to play with Katelyn. Gracie really enjoyed playing tea party with Katelyn and showing her how to run all around Mimi and Pop's house.  This year Hayden played more with the boys, they played a lot of TAG and for some reason she was IT a lot.  She will figure out how to trick those boys too in just a couple more years!!!  We had lots of good food and fun. 

Today, we are getting ready for back to school.  Tomorrow Hayden is turning in her second set of site words and 3 challenges.  I hope she does good,  I know she knows all of it as long as she doesn't freeze up!

Also on May 24th, which is Colton's birthday, we went to have some professional pictures taken, which we just got a copy of.  I had to stop at my Mema's house to shower before my doctors appointment and thank goodness I did because my doctor sent me straight to the hospital.  It was fun though and something they will never forget, they got to paint Mommy right before baby brother made his arrival!!!   Wow, I sure was BIG and I knew he was coming that afternoon!!!
