Treasured moments/ Sleepover!

Gracey and I were together tonight and she was rubbing my back and I was just asking her what her favorite part about today was. Her favorite part was, in her own words: *"Um...our walk...and suckers..."
Then I asked her if she had any other favorite moments from our day and she said.."Um..playing with Daddy. Daddy come home. On our walk, hurry because of cars getting us (then she giggles). Walk with suckers and Hazel and Audrey and Daddy and Mommy. Then come home and eat suckers all gone..."

I also can't even describe to you how special this moment was. I love moments like these when I can have conversations with my girls. That is when we bond the most! She is such a great talker. She puts sentences together and a lot of the time she says things the proper way. It's crazy. She surprises me everyday when she puts words in a sentence that are more than 3 words long.

Gracey has also been asking the "why" questions for quite some time now, and even more lately. I love it right now because she genuinely just wants to know why certain things are how they are. She has that desire to learn and understand how things work and why they work.I love it!

*Just to recap mine and Gracey's conversation : Hazel came over tonight to have a sleepover and we decided to take a walk to the Maverick and get the girls a treat and come back home. They loved it! There were so many giggles during our walk. I wish I had my phone or camera with me so that I could take pictures of them. I do have a couple pictures of them doing a craft when we got home. It was such a fun night tonight! I love that Hazel and Audrey still have such a close bond with each other. I really hope it will always stay that way.

This little girl has developed quite the little attitude lately. Sheesh! But on a more positive note, I LOVE this smile and everything about her. I am such a lucky Mommy to have her as my daughter too! She makes me so happy. I love her cute little personality. She is such a sweet, sassy (yes you read that right.) STUBBORN, happy, curious, smart, and beautiful little girl. I am so lucky to spend every waking moment with this little girl even when it's the hard moments we have been having lately. It makes me so happy that I get to take care of her and watch her learn and grow and succeed in life. But most importantly, it makes me so happy that she is mine forever and ever! She will always be in my life...always! Such a great feeling.

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
