Birthday!

For Katelyn's 3rd bday party, she asked to have it at a park in Wilson that is new and has alot for kids to do. She also wanted ladybugs as her theme. Not sure where this came from except for the fact she loves to look for them out in the yard. So I went and reserved the shelter for the park and sent out these cute invitations to the kids in her class and some of her friends, but who would have thought a tropical storm would decide to come through on May 30th! So this changed our venue to my parents house. I did it there to make it easier for everyone in town to come, which it worked out great! We had 10 3 year old and 4 babies there and all went well!. In the midst of the change of venue i had to come up with something for the kids to do, so I downloaded ladybug coloring sheets for them to paint or color. We also had pizza, cake and ice cream.

Katelyn was so so excited to have all her friends coming, she was bouncing off the walls! She kept naming everyone that was coming! Thanks to all who made it in the down pouring rain and celebrated with us!

Invites!

3 years old




I can't believe we have a 3 year old!!! Katelyn you have grown up so much this past year it is just amazing how much so. You are becoming a beautiful little girl, my baby has gone. You make us laugh with your silly sayings and then show us your sensitive side too by easily getting upset over things. You are trying to show more of your independence, but still like to be near mommy and daddy too. You love playing outside and inside with your doll house and kitchen. Most importantly you are so sweet to your sister and she just lights up when she sees you. You are a wonderful big sister. My prayer for you both is that you will continue to love each as much as you do now and always be there to help each other out.

Weight: 30lbs (50%)

Height: 37 inches (50%)

Clothes: 3T and 4Ts

Food: You are a pretty good eater with a variety of things you will eat. Your favorites though are pancakes, yogurt, chicken nuggets, vegetable soup, fish sticks, pizza, quesadillas, and anything SWEET!

Sayings: Your sayings these day are so cute. Prononuciation of words like donuts is "nonuts". We have finally got you saying quesadilla correctly, but there for awhile you were saying "quesadookie" but you really thought you were saying it correctly. Marshmellows are warshmellows, at one point you called them watermelons, but you figured that out too.

Precious God moments: This morning when i put Katelyn's dress on her for church, she immediately asked where Daddy was to show off her dress to him. When she found him she twirled around and said " Look at my dress daddy!"

Sleep: Most of the time you will sleep 8pm to 7am with an hour and half nap, most of the times though I get you to fall asleep in the car and i transfer you to bed, which you are great at. You stay in your room well and have only tried to venture out a few times, but this is mostly at nap times.

School: You have absolutely loved it! And you have learned so much this past year. Thanks to Ms Dshay and Brenda. You love all the kids in your class too and know them all by name. You can count to 20 pretty well. Know all your ABCs by site and saying, colors, shapes, and animals. You are starting to socialize more with others. Your imagination has also just come into full swing with playing with pretend food and cooking for us, playing with your baby dolls and stuffed animals, you also love to read to Haley now.

Characters/Shows: Your favorites have gone from Micky Mouse, to Polar Express, to Curiuos George, to Toy Story, to Veggie Tales.

Being a great big sister

Memorial Weekend 2012

Memorial Weekend means fun at the beach! Katelyn and Haley both love the beach, which is a huge blessing because David and I love it too! We got there on thursday with Ahma and Connor and went to acquarium, then they had to head back home on Friday, but we had lots of fun on Friday down at the beach and flying kites! David came down friday, then Gigi got there on Saturday. It was a beautiful weekend though Saturday was windy, but Sunday and Monday were great. The biggest thing Katelyn will remember is that she lost a shoe to the ocean. I think everyone she has seen has been told about it and she keeps asking when we are going back to the beach to go find it. Poor thing, but she got some new shoes for her birthday that she enjoys wearing now too.

Katelyn also receieved a kite from her end of school party, so she was able to fly it down at the beach. She did pretty good with it! It was a nice fun weekend to kick off the summer!

Last Day of 2 year old Preschool

Katelyn loved going to preschool this year. She loved the crafts, the music, playtime, but mostly the kids and her teachers!

The last day of school the kids did a little program where they sang a few songs and then went out to the playground to play with bubbles and just have some fun!
