lacey and friends

i honestly feel truly blessed that lacey is able to go to school at our church. i absolutely love our preschool. it's the reason we joined our church and have the most wonderful and caring friends in our life, so it holds a very special in my heart. lacey even has the same teacher that lela had - "miss" mary who we love dearly. last week lacey's class, all twelve of them, went home with bradley to celebrate her 5th birthday. (thank you blake, you're a braver woman than i'll ever be.) here are a couple of pictures from that afternoon. lacey with the birthday girl, bradley herself and then a picture of the entire class including bradley's little brother, henry. take a look. if you look closely you'll notice that there are eleven girls in class and one special little boy, charlie.

sleepover at my house

that's exactly what we did last night! lela finally got to have her spend the night party for her birthday. i know it's a little late, but with all the excitement that has been going on this weekend seemed to be the best. the girls - all five including lil' sis - were such a joy to have and honestly i think i could do it again. i was in such a creative mode that i even made the goodie bags for each of the girls with their initials and bows on them...too cute, uh? not mention i had them each decorate a "night" shirt to sleep in as a memento of the party.

parrrrrttttty!

yes, we had a party this morning at jumpin' jellybeans for lacey. finally, she had a real birthday party with her buddies. she was so excited! and boy did she have a blast! i'm exhausted as i'm writing and so wishing for a nap. the house is completely quiet. the girls went to aunt kim's straight after the party, so i truly wish i could take advantage of the fact we have a house with no children. but as you might have guessed there is always something going on and today is no exception. later this evening, we are headed to kevin's 20th high school reunion. yippee! (yes, that is sarcasm you sense.) i'm sure it will be fun, well at least from the perspective that i'm sure i'll have something to blog about tomorrow. i always enjoy that....
