GRACEN....YOU'RE IT!

We love our sweet, four year old, Gracen Starr Gunn! She is our native Texas girl and she is definitely all girl!!!! She was tagged by her cousin, Ryder Rockwood. This means we get to tell you 10 things we love about Gracen.

10 things we love about Gracen.....

1.
Gracen is a morning person.
She loves to get up early in the morning and get herself dressed and ready for the day. She loves to pick out her clothes and has a definite opinion.

2.
Gracen loves to do hair!
She amazes everyone with how she can do her own hair. At age 2 1/2, she was doing her own ponytail, and others as well. It is incredible to watch her with the squirt bottle, comb, and/ or brush and a ponytail. She has a definite love for hair, and is insistant on doing it herself! She will come and ask you to sit down so she can brush and style your hair.

The other day we were getting ready to go on walk , I said, "Gracen can you brush your hair before we go?. She ran right up stairs, got the brush and pulled it back in a ponytail, and said, "Look mom, it's beautiful!" She also loves to run her fingers through your hair. She will come to ask you a question , or sit on your lap, and she will stroke her fingers through your hair and behind your ear. I love it!

3.
Gracen is a big helper around the house.
She will help mom with cooking and cleaning. She loves to bake cookies and wear her apron.

4.
Gracen loves to iron...
On her ironing board that she got for Christmas (of course, it is not a real iron, but she loves it!) She told mom if Santa brought her an ironing board, she could help mom with the ironing. When I am ironing, she will get her ironing board out and ask to help with the clothes! She also likes to help fold laundry!
She is quite domesticated! She loves to play, what she calls, "Mom and Dad!"

5.
Gracen loves to go....
To the store, to the park, to the school, to the car wash. She usually doesn't care where we are going, she just loves to be on the go. She likes to go to take the kids to school, and loves to pick them up! She loves when her brothers and sister are home to play with her, hurray!

6.
Gracen loves to sing.
She will sing primary songs, High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, etc. Having a older sister and brothers that love Radio Disney, she gets her fill of the latest hits and will sing them word for word! I love to hear her sweet singing...it brightens my day!

7.
Gracen loves books and magazines!
She has since she was a baby. She would sit on the floor turning pages and looking intently at pictures in books and magazines. She loves to go to the library. She will often remind us if we have not read a book at bedtime.

8.
Gracen ia little computer wiz.
It blows me away, to watch her log on to her account and play her computer games. She loves Webkinz. She will make things and print them off for us to display on the refrigerator. We compete for computer time at our house.

9.
Gracen loves the outdoors
She likes to help water the flowers and plants. She loves to swing on the swings and jump on the trampoline!

10.
Gracen loves movies!
She loves the Liken movie, Esther and the King. She will ask to watch it again and again. She loves to rent movies from Redbox. We stopped to get gas at the gas station the other day and she kept calling ..."Mom, Mom, Mom, they have a REDBOX! Can we get Nancy Drew?!!!"

You can tell she has older siblings, she likes whatever they do!
WE LOVE YOU GRACIE GIRL!!!!!!!
