Happy Birthday Katelyn

Katelyn turns 3!

Katie is such a tender and feisty little girl. I cannot believe the time has passed so quickly. I can still vividly remember bringing her home from the hospital on a sunny December day. These are a few of our favorite things about Kate! One minute she is smiling and the next she is snarling.
She is full of expression and wears it on her sleeve! You always know what she is thinking!
She loves her brother Jack!
She walks on her tippy-toes... even when she is not dancing! She adores her sister Olivia...most of the time!
She likes to make a mess for no apparent reason!
So, so sweet...
Giggly....
Pouty...
Mad...and Happy!
Just to name a few of her everyday emotions!

She does not like to Smile for the camera-almost always!
She loves to wear a hat-but not for too long!
She is Potty-Trained and proud of it!
She is Beautiful!
She likes the sand but not the ocean!
She loves to spend time with Daddy-even when it is 100 degrees!
She like to play with her friends!
She likes to do crafts!
She loves, loves, loves STRAWBERRIES!
She loves her cousins-especially Justine!
She was so excited to meet the "Witch" at Disneyland.
Her first really scary accident! It all turned out okay!
She ate cotton candy at Disneyland for the first time and loved it!
Kate is silly!
She loves to swing and always wants to go higher and faster!
She is very curious!
She has a hard time waiting for her cake!
She loves to be without clothing or in PJs'!
Kate is a sweet and spicy little girl. She loves to be on the move and tries very hard to do whatever her sister is doing. She likes to play with Jackson and is his best buddy. She likes to play with little itty bitty toys and things. She loves pizza and pancakes, but she says her favorite foods are green beans and marshmellows. Her favorite color is blue for today. She loves to watch movies and asks for a "moody" first thing every morning. She does not like to clean up and does whatever she can to evade it--like go to bed! She loves to dance and play with play dough. She loves to snuggle first thing in the morning. She loves to give kisses, but only on her terms. We are so blessed to have Katelyn in our lives. She has taught me so much.
We love you Katelyn,
Happy 3rd Birthday!

Picnic in the Park

The sun was bright, the air was cool, the skies were blue and the air was clean-somewhat. So we headed to the park
Earlier this month we had several cool and rainy days and once it warmed back up we took a trip to the park. There is nothing better than a picnic in the park (at least to my girls). This was a new park that we had not ventured to before and it turned out to be great.This is a quiet little park. We had the place to ourselves. They couldn't wait to check out the water feature!Jackson had just woke up from a nap in the car so he was content to just sit and look at the water, Thankfully!Now these are the days that I look forward to all summer long!

Face Painting

Daddy decided today was a great day to do some face painting and what a great idea it was. We had a fantastic time getting our faces painted.

Olivia the Snow Fairy
Kate trying her hardest to stay still-not an easy thing to do!This picture is so funny. Jon asked her if he was hurting her, and she said "no it tickles"!
Kate the Diamond Princess
Jackson held very still while Jon was painting the red triangle. He was almost in a trance. But then...He started to get silly. The video is at the bottom!!
Jackson as SupermanSuperman and UnderdogKatie said I looked "scary and cool"
This is what she calls "The Flying Bat"
Jon said I was a "Warrior"
We decided I was a Princess Warrior named Flying Bat!!
I just love my husband. He is so much fun. Thanks for the great idea and the fun evening. We will have to do it again tomorrow!!
