Fifty nine

So this morning I'm driving to the grocery store, pull in the parking lot and notice I have a friend traveling with me hanging onto the 'oh sh*t' handle. At least GI Joe will protect me and keep me safe!

The boys belt tested tonight! Zachary is testing for his senior yellow belt and Cooper is testing for his blue belt. The boys did great and they will find out next Saturday at the belt ceremony how they did! Good job guys! Your mama is proud :o)

Today Gracie and I met friends at the park. She was playing, I was looking for her after she had gone down the slide on the other side and I could not find her. So I started looking and she was on this spinning apparatus! It is tilted so that it spins when you sit in it and if you can not touch the ground to stop it, it will just continue to spin. So I find Gracie just spinning away. I was laughing so hard to tell you the truth. So of course I have to take a picture, so I set the shutter speed real slow so that I can get her in motion, but I don't have my tripod so this is what I get! But I love it! So after I take a few pictures I ask Gracie if she wants to get off. She of course is trying to tell me yes, so I stop her from spinning and take her off. That girl couldn't stand up to save her life, me again laughing!

All I can say is that there is a large need for chocolate at my house ;o)

A little project I worked on today. I took apart an old photo screen, painted it and put 10 current black & whites in it. Troy then hung it up for me! I like it a lot and I feel good that I recycled! Gracie is also excited b/c even though I constantly am taking pictures of her, I'm not very good at having them printed and so there is not a ton of pictures of her around the house. She always says to me, "Where am I mama?" So now she looks at it and says, "there I am mama!"

Gracie loves to ride the skateboard down the driveway! So easy to capture her happiness when she is outside playing! I think that is when she is the happiest!

I met all these great women this weekend! Too much fun, and thanks again Debbie!
