Lucky Number SEVEN!

 Julia had a Pajama party for her birthday so all her friends came to her party in their pj's.  We strung fruit loop necklaces, danced in our pj's at the Pajama Jam, and made sure that we had lots of BIRTHDAY cake to celebrate!

 Getting ready to blow out SEVEN candles!
 Ready, set, BLOW out those candles, Julia!
 Guess it's official, this sweet girl has turned SEVEN!
All the little girls enjoyed the pajama jam!  I just love this picture of Julia!  She's definitely having fun, don't you think?
 There's nothing better than having your best friends at your birthday party!  Especially if you're in your comfy pj's!
 We had a great time celebrating Julia!  She's definitely a fun loving, dancing through life, sweet little blessing!

The Littlest Reindeer

The first grade presented "The Littlest Reindeer" for their yearly musical back in December and it was a success!  Julia was one of Santa's dollies and was one of the cutest little toys in his sleigh!
 Look how animated they all were!
"What, Santa?"
 Smile your "cheesy" smiles!  Great job FIRST grade (and Mrs. Leslie!).  We look forward to many more musicals!

High Tea with American Girls

 We had a chance to attend the High Tea with My Doll & Me and got to see some of our favorite "American Girls" at the tea.  This is one of our favorite events of the year and mommy and some of her friends help host it for our school so Granny got to bring us to the tea.  Enjoy some of our pictures with some of our favorite American Girls.

Halloween!

We had lots of celebrating for Halloween!  Gracie was a cowgirl at her school party
After school, we went over to daddy's clinic to trick or treat.  Daddy was a "sugar daddy," Mommy was a "gold digger," Gracie a cowgirl and Julia was a ballerina.
My little cowgirl and ballerina excited about their first treats!
The sugar daddy!
Pretty pink ballerina!
Sweet little cowgirl!

Ole Miss Football

 We spent a beautiful weekend in Oxford for the Central Arkansas game.  It was a fun fall day with cooler fall temperatures and lots of sunshine!  The girls LOVED their new sunglasses as you can see from these cute pics!

 Kelly met us in the Grove and we had fun hanging out with him!
 These girls love the Rebelettes!  Caught a cute pic of them while they were waiting for the "dance show" to start!
 Posing with one of our favorite Rebelettes!
 Having fun with Uncle Kelly!
 Gracie trying to talk Granny "into something!"
 We ran into Mrs. Vicki (Julia's K teacher) and John-Gregory.  She loves her "little Rebels!"
A fun time was had by all!  We'll be back for the Auburn game, Ole Miss' homecoming!

Rewind-Visit to see baby C

 A little over a month ago, we went to Memphis to see our baby cousin, Charlie!  Granny and Dandaddy were there that weekend visiting so we had a fun time!
 Gracie and Granny being silly!
 Sweet cousins!
 Look at that cute boy!
 We celebrated Granny's birthday (a week early) and she was happy to have all her "GRANDS" with her!
The cousins (and they are all coordinated!).  They love their baby cousin Charlie!

First Day of FIRST Grade!

 Julia had her first (half) day of first grade on August 3!  She was so excited to be in FIRST grade!
 Sweet sisters!  I know that Gracie is going to miss having her other half with her during the day! :)
 All smiles for FIRST grade!
 Meeting Mrs. Wendi, our new teacher!
 It's always fun to have a friend in your class!  These girls will have fun together this year!

Of course, we had to stop in for a picture with Mrs. Vicki, our K teacher!  Happy new school year to everyone!  Hope it's the best EVER!

St Louis Trip

We took a little weekend trip to St. Louis right before the Fourth of July and got to see all the sights while we were there.  It was HOT, but we made an afternoon trip to Grant's Farm, a trip to the NEW American Girl store, the Magic House and a St Louis Cardinals game!
Feeding the goats at Grant's Farm.  It was much easier to do this from the other side of the fence.  They get a little too happy with the small children that are holding milk/food for them so we moved to the safety of the fence! :)
Always time for a carousel ride with daddy!

Stopping for a slushie treat to cool us down!
The girls loved the Magic House (St Louis Children's Museum), they were construction workers, President and a judge!

Watch out, Gracie looks like she has official Presidential business to attend to!

Judge Julia


These girls can find an American Girl store if given the chance, well, really we told them about it!

We had a break from the heat the night of the Cardinals game and they WON against the Rockies!

Ryan and Julia with the 2011 World Series Trophy!  What a great little weekend trip and time spent with family!
