Gracie is ONE!

She is the definition of HOT MESS. 

She's the reason we can't have nice things. Or even normal things. Our house is almost completely puppy-proofed.

If she feels as though she isn't getting enough attention, she will grab something "off-limits" and run around with it so we will chase her. I think she also does this when we're working/walking around the house...she feels like she needs to be doing something, too. 

She is so naughty. But so sweet. She loves everybody and everything. She even lets me brush her teeth!

Happy birthday, sweet Foose. We love you!

An example of her being naughty... I was folding laundry. So she grabbed a picture frame. 

And proceeded to carry it around the house. :-/  Good thing she's cute!

Friends!

They are a sweet, hard-working bunch of kids!

Gracie is always hunting something. If it moves, it's hunted. And sometimes eaten. Favorites: lizards, iguanas, frogs (both big and small), dragonflies, moths, butterflies, ibises (white birds with long, curved beaks), squirrels...

She found a heron on our back fence. :)

dance friends: Bella, Karly (who actually now does cheer), Lainey, and Victoria :)

I was fortunate enough to see some Texas friends who came to Miami for a few days! 

Gail (in blue) and friends flew in to celebrate her 50th birthday. I met these ladies through our amazing preschool in Plano 10 years ago!

There was a man on the wall behind us. We didn't know until we saw this photo. :)

With Jessica - She is Kaitlyn, Brayden, and Camryn's mom. One of my favorite, best friends.

We had dinner at an amazing restaurant in Miami called Juvia.

Pictured: Melissa, Marianne, Natalie, me, Gail, Holly, Me, two girls whose names I can't remember, Jessica, and Natalie :)

So fun! We all felt so fancy! :)

Last Saturday, we went to dinner to celebrate my friend Natalie! She's the one in the purple tracksuit. It was her birthday, but she wanted us all to dress like "old ladies." So we did. And it was hilarious! I know these friends (Michelle, Natalie, and Micah) from dance. :) 

I sent this photo to my family.

Happy Birthday, Natalie!
