My Baby turned 4!

Yesterday was Graci's big day. She made the comment half way through the day that she didn't feel any different. She still feels like she is three. How profound for a three year old, oops, i mean four year old. That one is a tough one to explain. I still feel like I am twenty most days but occassionaly do have days that I feel my age and they are getting more frequent. Graci was very specific as to what she wanted on her Birthday cake. Princesses and Bubble Gum. Thanks Layton for making such an awesome cake! Graci received a princess blanket, a light bright, some TinkerBell toys and the cutest outfit from Grandma. Thank You Grandma! You are awesome. We had a fun party. Graci was very happy.
Four years ago at this time was a very crazy time. We were making the decision to move to Green River. The day after Torrey brought Graci and I home from the hospital, He left to come to Green River. He stayed at the Oak Tree Inn for three months and would come home on weekends. I had to stay and finish the kids in school and sell the house and that meant trying to keep it clean during this process. I remember everytime I would go to lay down and try to get some rest, the phone would ring and someone would want to come and look at the house in 30 minutes and that meant cleaning and also getting out of the house so we got really good at. We definately had to have a strategy. I believe that Graci spent most of her first few months in her car seat. We finally sold the house the middle of June and then lived in a hotel for a few weeks in Rock Springs and then finally found a trailor to live in. We were so thankful for that. We were all ready for some home cooked meals. I never thought that I would ever want to eat out again. Graci has definately kept life exciting since the day she was born. She has been my buddy over the last four years and I know that it will be so hard to let her go off to school all day every day. I seriously will be lost for a time. I just love the way she thinks. She is so much fun and just keeps me smiling. Happy Birthday Graci!! We love you.
