Is She Really 5 Already?

Princess Cake per the Princess's Request

She IS! Big girl. I can't believe that in just a few short months, my firstborn will be in kindergarten. Kindergarten! That doesn't seem right. Her cheeks are still too chubby...too much "sweetbabyfaceness" ......but she did read 4 pages in her book last night, with little help from momma..... so, sniff....I guess she is ready. Blow'em Out!

We had her fifth birthday party at our local Kiwanis Park. It was just how I like parties -simple, short, and sweet! The kids just played & ate cake. Can't get any better than that!
The Partygoers

Grace has also started to play t-ball. If you are ever in a sour mood, go watch a little girls t-ball game. If all the kartwheels and flower pickin' in the outfield don't get you laughing, then surely seeing a 4 year old running from first base to second base to third and then....straight to the dugout! Tears running down my face. :) First Hit
Grace likes it....likes, not loves. She'd much rather talk to mommy & daddy through the fence. But right now, the thrill of hitting the ball and stopping it every now and then entertains her plenty. Babe Ruthie? Maybe not just yet.
