My Gracie

This is a conversation Gracie and I had last night getting ready for bed, that I never want to forget!

Gracie: I love you more than all of the ice cream in the world!

Me: I love you more than all of the chocolate in the world!

Gracie: I am happy you're my Mommy, are you happy I'm your Grace?

SNIFF!

Me: Yes I'm happy your my Grace, I love you more than anything!

Gracie: Yeah, that's what I thought!

Picnics, Looking Back, and Pony Rides

Saturday, we decided to go to Cades Cove and have a picnic, and from there we would just go on to Pigeon Forge and see what we could find to do. We did the loop at Cades Cove, saw a lot of deer, even a baby really up close. We stopped about halfway through and had a picnic in the field. After we ate, we had watermelon, then loaded back up and went to the place Bobby and I got engaged. It really was beautiful the day we got engaged, it was December 23rd, and it was snowing, the ground was completely covered in snow too. When we left Cades Cove, we were on the lookout for Ponies. I wanted to take the ponies home with us, I felt sorry for them just going in circles all day! We will be on the look for a good pony for the near future. Mom is going to get them one. We had a really great day!

Wiley surprised us and loved riding the pony!

Gracie could have stayed here all day.

Looking for deer, it was really cool to watch our kids play at the exact spot we got engaged.

More running!

Gracie and Wiley climbed a tree (with Daddy's help)


Silly girl!

A few of my favorite faces!

Wiley called the deer a goat, and Gracie said, "Wiley, that's not a goat, that's a deer!"
