Gracie is 8!

I'm struggling right now because my camera is not connecting to my computer. I can not download pictures. I like to blog by putting pictures on and commenting on them. So for now until I get a new cord, I have to write it out.

Gracie turned 8 on the 25th of April. We had a huge Make-over party for her. She invited 15 friends to come and get their toes, nails and hair done. We took pictures of each DIVA and put them in a frame that they each decorated. Thanks to my big girls and their salon-like talents, it was a huge success!

Then on May 9th, Grace was baptized. It was a great event. She looked beautiful in a white dress that my mom made for her. I wish you could see it...dumb camera!!! Anyway, Jack baptized and confirmed her. Maddie gave a great talk on the Holy Ghost and I did the spotlight.

Funny Grace story...
She is our little artist. One day she was in her studio and came out with invitations for an Art Show being held in 10 minutes. She hanged (that always sounds dumb (hanged) but it is correct grammar) her art all over the walls of the office and invited the family to come and view it. She even made note cards for herself describing her art to us! Love the imagination of this little girl.

We are so proud of her for making the decision to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Grace is funny, cute, creative, friendly and an all around great kid! Love you Gracie Girl!!
