Happy 5th Birthday Grace!

Elizabeth Grace Conver turned 5 years old Wednesday!


Tuesday night we had a birthday party for her at Mimi's house.

Then on her birthday we took a big bowl of fruit salad plus mini brownies to school. Then I brought in Hamtaro the Hamster to see her class right when everyone was waking up from naps! 

Grace got to go home from school at 2pm instead of 5pm or some days 3 when Thomas gets out.


Next we took tiny cupcakes and juice to ballet where she got to have lots of fun and celebrated 2 years of ballet classes! She started ballet on her 3rd birthday! After class they all had a mini-party and even sang Happy Birthday!

We then all went to Grammy and Aunt Leslie's church for a pot luck dinner, Gracie got fried chicken -which she loves- and everyone told Grace how much they loved her beautiful Cinderella dress.

Finally we went to Bible Study at Forestpark and took big yellow iced cupcakes with Tinker Bell rings on top for her friends.


Tomorrow Grace is having a big party for all her friends from school: 


Princesses and Pirates!


When: Feb. 4th, 2012
Time: 1:00pm
Where: Forestpark Community Church
Address: 5012 S Watterson Tr


Instead of gifts, please bring a wrapped Children's Book labeled with a approximate age range. We will place all the books on a table, and every child will get to pick a new book to take home! If you don't like the one you got, there will be time to trade!!!


I will send pictures later too!!!

Grace's 3 Year Check Up

Grace had her doctor's appointment on 2/5/2010.

She loved her "special dress" she got to wear. It had whales, pen-guons, and aldogaders.

She was mad at me though in the end because I had told her she wouldn't have to get any shots (that's what they told me on the phone) but she actually had to have her finger stuck for a blood test, and a second dose of the H1N1 vaccine.

She screamed at the lady when she was trying to take blood, "My Mommy said I don't have to get a shot!"

I had to tell her, "Mommy didn't know. I'm sorry. Now do you want to know what they are going to do next?" (H1N1...) She said, "NO!" But, after a few minutes, I gently let her know that she didn't want to get sick like Mommy was last week did she? And she said no, so I told her they'd be back in to give her a shot so she'd stay well. She had seen me with a bad cold 2 weeks ago, in which I totally lost my voice. Didn't stop her screaming at the next nurse though...Oh well..

She was 80% for height: 3 foot 2 inches, and 10% for weight: 26 lbs (or 28, I can't remember!)

Grace's First Ballet Lessons

On Grace's 3rd birthday, at 4pm, she had her first ballet lesson! It was so cute.

But she was about a year too little to be in that class. There were mostly 4 & 5 yr olds in there. During the class, the little kids teacher was watching through the window with me, and he went in and worked with her! She actually picked up a lot.

After class, he came and asked if I could bring her to the 7:30 class the next week, which had one 2-yr-old and one 5-yr-old (her sister). So, this past Monday, she went back (before the major snow) and tried again. This time she had even more fun because she knew she was in the right place!

2 Videos of Ballet Class. They take a minute to load but are pretty cute!

Here Comes Halloween Here Comes Halloween...

Emily had a big Halloween Party, we Carved a Pumpkin, Mom had us all over so that she and Gannie (and Vera) could give the kid's their Halloween treats, and then today Thomas' Class went to Gallrein Farms! (It was VERY muddy there!) Here are some pictures!
