Katie Lady Turns 3!

Our little red head turned three the middle of last month. She is a smart, fun, strong, busy, loving, little girl. It has been amazing to watch her grow up and learn so much. She says some of the funniest and cutest stuff, such as while standing at the living room window watching it snow and singing I said "What a beautiful song!" She replied "I'm not singing to you, I'm singing to the snow." Also while driving one day she told John " If you see a dinosaur, turn!" This is actually one of her favorite games when we are outside on a walk or driving some where. She tells us there is a dinosaur and lets us know the color, green ones are mean but pink ones are nice and if she sees any other color we just have to turn. Katie is a great big sister, she always wants to play with Abi and will bring her into her play world, which is only a problem when Abi wants to be left alone. Katie tells us often, "I love all my family!" Her favorite foods are cheese, chicken, crackers, juice, and chocolate milk. As of late she prefers the color purple to any other. She will say her favorite movie is "The Wizard of Oz" and she also loves "Wall-E" but most any "kid show" aka cartoon she tends to enjoy.

Katie had 3 parties this year. One with my family and we celebrated my dads and my oldest nieces birthdays as well, one with Johns family, and one with some little girls from our ward. I have pictures of her Tinkerbell party with her friends.

Here's the kitchen all decorated.

Water bottle bowling was one of our games. The girls all seemed to enjoy it.

It was the first friend only party we've done and it went great! The group of girls were very cute! Little girl parties are fun!

Little Lady is 1!

A year ago John and I became new parents. Katie was so small and fragile to us, we were elated to be mom and dad to such a beautiful baby.

On Saturday we had a Birthday party with family and a few friends. Since we call Katie our Little Lady the party was Lady bug themed. We had a lot of fun although Katie had a couple moments when all the attention was too much. She got a lot of gifts and loves all of her new toys, clothes, and books. Enjoy the Slide Show from her party.

A great birthday

I had a great birthday this year, I spent the whole day with John and Katie. We had a relaxing day of no cooking we ate out all three meals. Lunch was spent at Murray park, Katie loved crawling in the grass and putting her fingers in the dirt under the tree we were by. We had dinner with John's dad and siblings at the U hospital. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, cards, and gifts.

Katie is soooo big!

Katie helped dad blow out the candles.
Aunt Aileen put a party hat on Katie, making her look like a garden gnome. A very cute garden gnome.

Last week John turned a quarter of a century old we celebrated with his family, thanks to them for all the good food especially Tommy and Dan for hosting us. John is a great husband and dad, we love him so much. He takes such good care of us!
