Horseback riding the easy way..

Summer is over but here are a few cute pics we have caught...
This was "horseback riding" in our front yard. How convient!

Tug of WAR!!

On one of these lovely hot Alabama days our electricity went out for a couple hours. And when the electricity is off so is the air conditioner! We decided that it might just be cooler or at least less stifling outside than inside so we enjoyed a pretty summer afternoon outside. We did a little boxing (I'm not quite sure where we got the boxing gloves..), jump rope, AND tug of war! It was a good way to spend the afternoon- participating or just watching in the shade.

Cake :)

To Papa: Thank you so much for my birthday cake! It was beautiful and fit my sweet 16 birthday perfectly! It was one of my favorite yet. Thank you so much. Miss you! Wish you were here.
Love Grace

More Party Pictures

Okay, more pictures :) These include some of my guest.. Do some look wet to you? That's because they were-the water balloons got a little out of hand and I got put in the little water pool(not part of the plan)!! That is why I look kind of scary and wet in my pictures! There is my beautiful and tasty all chocolate cake. And then there is one of me unrolling a roll of toilet paper-it was a genius present that I got that had money(!!) rolled up in it- it had me a little confused at first but I figured it out sooner or later...

SWEET 16 :) Guess Who...

My actual birthday is on Thursday, July 8th-but since I was having several friends being gone at that time I already had my Sweet 16! And it was a blast! So here are a few pictures of the decorations and before the party! My cousin Shauna came down and helped tremendously with the decorations! The yard looked fabulous and the whole luau theme rocked :)
