Gracie's Birthday Week...

Pictures of Gracie's 9th Birthday Party

Gracie just posing!

What's a Pajama party without playing Truth or Dare?

The girls loved it!

During Truth or Dare Gracie had to dance with a broom and she was rockin out! Way to go Girl!!! You just make us

The girls headed outdoors to hold a sign up to see how many people they could get to honk at them. They had a blast doing this. It was so fun to watch. Even the ambulance from across the way got involved and headed over to make the girls evening, he turned on all the lights and sirens and held the horn while going by real slow. They loved it!!!

Gracie getting her hair done. (Look at that smile she is loving all the pampering!)

I was in charge of painting all the "16" girls' nails! The girls had fun picking out all the crazy nail polish colors. The crazier the color the better!

All the girls dressed up for the fashion show

Happy 9th Birthday Sweet Grace and Happy 16 Month Birthday Baby Silas!!!

Today my sweet baby girl turns "9"! Wow how the time goes by so fast. She is growing up so quickly. Grace has a "big" heart and I am so proud of her. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!! We love you very much!

(Here is a picture of her eating at her favorite restaurant for her Birthday. Grace just loves her Mexican food... yummy!)

Today our baby boy turns 16 months old. Silas has been home with us for 10 months this week and he is doing great. We love you buddy!

* I will be posting Grace's Birthday party pics later this week. Oh, what fun she had! She had a "Wear your favorite P.J's party" and it what a "hoot"!!! So more fun pics to come later...

I hope everyone has a Happy Tuesday! We finally have some sunshine here today and I can't wait to enjoy it!

I am back after a long break...

Wow...

It's been six months since I blogged last. I am so disappointed in myself for not keeping up with this, but I plan on trying to get better. I can't keep any promises, but I am going to try.

A year ago we got our referral for Silas. This is the first picture we saw of him. He stole our hearts and changed us forever. It's been one of the best years of my life. Silas is so wonderful. He is doing so many new things. He is running everywhere, saying several new words, he is signing more, please and thank you, he has a laugh that is so contagious and can make anyone laugh, he just goes with the flow (thank goodness... because he has two sisters that are in everything) and he has a smile that just melts our hearts. Gracie and Emma ask what did we do before we had Silas? Cory and I ask the same question. He is such a blessing to us and we thank God everyday for bringing Silas into our lives. We love you Silas!
