I haven't been good about blogging lately! I'll try and do better! I didn't have a lot of time so I'll post pics to show you what we've been up to the last couple months!
Kaylee fell asleep in her closet waiting for me to come home. (She was hiding so she could jump out and surprise me.) Aww..
Happy Birthday Gracie! She turned 6 on August 10th! Mason wanted to bake a cake by himself as his gift to her. She wanted a Hannah Montana cake but, we couldn't find any of those cake topper thingers. So, clever Mason went to the toy aisle and bought some Hannah Montana lip gloss and nail polish and used that to decorate the cake!
Gracie gets a little help from her brother reading her bday cards.
Gracie and Kaylee doing the "banana split" on the swings in our from yard.
Papa Larry put these swings in the tree a couple years ago! The kids LOVE them!!
Mason in some of his football gear. Yes, he's playing tackle this year. Ugg.. He is on The Desperados team. He plays center and middle linebacker! I'll put up some pics from one of the games soon!
We FINALLY painted the girls room!! I HATE to paint so, the girls room has stayed blue for many years. Not just any blue but a dark, very hard to cover up blue. Thank goodness you can buy Kilz in colors now. We chose blackberry smoothie. We are all happy with it!
Grandma's birthday was on August 17th! Happy Birthday Grandma!
Family! We had a tiny family reunion of sorts when Aunt Lyn and Uncle Joe came to town on business. We got to spend time with Uncle Brian and Aunt Sylvia too! We had a really nice time. I wish we all lived closer to one another.
First day of school!!
My BABY started kindergarten this year! :'(
Yes, Gracie gets two pictures. Didn't you read the caption before this? MY BABY STARTED SCHOOL!! I'm having a mini mid mommy crisis about the whole thing. Don't worry I'll be fine. Well, until next year when Mason goes to junior high anyway.
My big 2nd grader.
Masons in 5th grade already! Last year in elementary school! Oh boy.
Kaylee walking her little sister (MY BABY!!) into school.
Gracie's backpack is as big as she is!! hee-hee! Too cute!
Gracie at her desk in her classroom.
What's this! No tears!?! No hugging Mommy's leg? Come on! Gimme something! Nope not a thing. Just a "see ya later mom!". Gracie has actually know her teacher. Ms Waddell, since she was a baby. Mason had her and Kaylee did too. Gracie has always loved her. Ms. Waddell said she HAD to have Gracie in her class! She wanted the whole "Graham set".
Alright guys that's all I got for now.. I'll post more soon!

Hooray for a new post!!! I check all the time you know! :) It is hard to believe that the kids are getting so big. Brian will be 6 next week. I can remember when he and Gracie were just babies together! My how time flies!
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT POST!!! Thanks, Katie. You guys have been up to A LOT! I loved all the pictures. I can't believe Mason is in 5th grade, and that your BABY is starting school! I can remember when YOU were starting school! (my, that really dates me, doesn't it??) Tell your Mom "HI" for me...and Happy belated Birthday, too. Tell your Dad "HI" for me, too. The years are really whizzing by here.... Katie, try to post more often. I love to read about the kids. :)
Oh, I forgot to say how sweet that was with Gracie asleep in the closet and that cake Mason made was absolutely the most dear thing I can think of. You are doing such a great job with the kids, Katie. I'm so proud of you. I love the color of the girls bedroom and the room decorations and etc. look adorable and so girlish.
Oops...I guess that was Kaylee in the closet. Kaylee is getting so big, too. She looks the most like you. :)
Hee-hee.. It's hard to tell which kid is which when they are wedged in a closet! I can't belive the kids are so grown. I remember you telling Kristie and I to "get closer together so I can get a picture of you girls with your babies".(Gracie and Brian)Now they are in school!! AGHGH!
I guess I'll just have to stick around to take pictures of you and Kristie with your GRANDBABIES, too!! The time is flying by and before you know it, it will happen. (I know, you are laughing, but I'm telling you....time HAS speeded up!!)
