Father’s Day, Cupcakes, & Catch Up

Father’s Day 2011

Dear Gracie,

Did you know that you have the best Daddy in the world?  There are a lot things that make your Daddy super special.  First and foremost, he loves you so very much.  You are his world.  Your Daddy is your hero.  He goes to work everyday as a soldier, a hero to our country, then comes home and becomes a hero to his little girl.  Daddy loves to spend time with you and Mommy.  We love to laugh and watch you grow up.  You are becoming a big girl right before our eyes.  It is bittersweet, but we have the time of our lives watching you growing up.  No matter what, your Daddy will always be there, loving you, even when you are spreading your wings.  Just remember that you have a very special Daddy.  You are one lucky little girl!

Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes!

Ok, I have not shied away from the fact that I have an easy job.  That doesn’t mean that it is not rewarding or it is not important.  It’s just that it is not the most challenging  job I ever had.  Having said all of that, I have never had a job that has allowed me to bake or do fun activities like we do at this job.  We had a very small version of a cupcake war.  It was so fun!  Basically, we made 3 different flavors of cupcakes and built a display.  Jamie came through with the display.  I definitely lucked out having a friend who majored in set design in college!  So here is the breakdown:

Theme: Candy Shoppe (name Sweet Grace)

Flavors: Lemon Drop, Caramel Vanilla, & Lemon Drop

Results:  I totally rocked it!  I got 1st place!!!!

Catch Up

So, it seems like I was not the only one that seemed to be lagging behind in posting, which just means we have been busy with our families.  Honestly, I have started focusing on getting into the gym.  This means that I am just simply EXHAUSTED by the time I get computer, I can’t put one thought together.  Ha! 

There is really nothing new going on.  Gracie is still pulling new things out of her cute little mind left and right.  Her favorite thing to do now is when she is feeling like “come on guys!” she will put one hand on her forehead, take a deep breath, shake her head, and say “well, what are we going to do about it!”  It is so funny!

Here is my favorite picture of the week.  Gracie has been all about her puppies lately and the puppies have been attached to Gracie!  This picture is worth a thousand words!
