Aug 28, 2010                   Party Time

Today was my birthday party! We got to eat and play at Peter Piper Pizza. A lot of my friends came and we had such a fun time. Daddy made my yummy cake and it had two of my favorite things: A rainbow and a pony. My friends Brooke and Gracie gave me my very first Barbie Doll and a gymnastics leotard for her! I love her more than my new hula-hoop.

That Triple Decker Cake looks really yummy.
Aug 14, 2010                   Day at the Lake

Check my sister and I out! We love going for rides on the Sea- Doos. Don't worry Mommy and Daddy won't give us the keys until we're quite a bit older. It's a lot of fun when Mommy and Daddy take us out into the lake and let us jump in the water and float out by the boats in our life jackets. We also played near the shore and in the sand while Daddy grilled some hotdogs for our lunch. Luke just hung out in his jungle swing the whole time. Maybe next year he'll play in the sand and water with us.
Aug 18, 2010                   Happy 5th Birthday!

Can you believe that I'm 5 already!! Mommy and Daddy keep telling me that I'm growing up too fast. Daddy asked me what I wanted for breakfast and I told him pancakes. If you can't figure out what the shape of my special pancake, then you'd better head back to Kindergarten!! You'll have to check back in a bit to get a glimpse of my Birthday cake since it won't be ready until later.....
Aug 16, 2010                   Bubbles and S'mores

After a hard day's work of dancing and hanging around, it was time to relax by the fire with some bubbles and some s'mores. Most of the s'mores made it into our tummies, but if you look closely you'll see that some stayed on our cheeks!
Aug 16, 2010                   Hangin' Around

Mommy put me up on the bar and Daddy said I he wouldn't help me get down until I gave him a pretty smile. After about 5 pictures I finally gave Daddy a smile good enough for him to help me get down off the bar.
Aug 16, 2010                   First Day of Dance

About a week ago Mommy took me to a new dance place to see if I would be interested in taking dance lessons. (if you didn't know, I've been dancing a lot around the house recently) I fell in love right away and wanted to start that same day. unfortunately I had to wait, but today was the big day and I had a blast. I can't wait to go back again next week!!!
Aug 09, 2010                   Sticker Mania

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to put some stickers on my Dad today........in retrospect, that my not of been the best idea. Unfortunately these stickers were super sticky and Daddy had to be very careful to take them off so they didn't hurt. He showed me how taking a sticker off fast is much better than doing it slow.....just like a band-aid!
Aug 08, 2010                   Time for a Bottle

As I'm sure you're well aware of by now, I love to help out with my baby brother Luke! Today was no exception. Daddy was getting ready to give Luke a bottle when I told him that I wanted to give him a bottle......and I think I did a great job!!
Aug 01, 2010                   Snuggle Time

Most of the time Mommy, Gramgo or Daddy get all of Luke's snuggles, but not right now. Today it was my turn to have snuggles with Luke and I think he liked it a lot. Before you know it, he'll be way too big for this so I better get them in now.
Sept 2, 2010 8:59am
Aunt Jill:  
Looks like a real snuggle bug!
July 31, 2010                   Yummy for my Tummy

Since it is almost time for Gramgo to go home, we decided to treat her to a BIG Texas dinner!! Apparently Gramgo isn't the only one that got a BIG Texas dinner. Believe it or not, I finished pretty much everything on my plate!
July 25, 2010                   Holding Luke

It might look like I'm getting ready to pinch my little brother but I'm actually be a really good big sister and holding him. I'm even making sure that he doesn't lose his pacifier while he's on my lap.
July 24, 2010                   Snapshot

Since Daddy was gone, we didn't mind smiling for him in front of the camera. He thought it would be a good idea to get a picture of Luke with his two big sister and we were more than happy to cooperate!
July 24, 2010                   Welcome Home Daddy

After being gone for awhile on a trip, Daddy finally made it back home!! We thought it would be great to surprise him with his very own ice cream cake......that Mommy made from scratch! It's really good and we don't think it will last for very long.
July 23, 2010                   Jungle Gym

My sisters might get to ride bikes, but I get to hang out in the jungle! You might think I'm too little, but I'm pretty tough! Sooner or later I'll be strong enough to crawl around in the jungle and I can't wait.
July 23, 2010                   Slumber Party

After riding on our for bikes so long we got pretty tired. We took a quick shower, brushed our teeth and hopped in bed. Shortly there after it was story time and then we both drifted off to sleep to dream about bike riding!!
July 22, 2010                   Three Wheelin' it!

I might not be able to ride on two wheels yet, but I'm going to blame that on the designer of my bike. I'd like to see anyone try and ride my style of bike with two wheels.......EXACTLY. Don't worry, my turn to ride with two wheels will be here before you know it!
Aug 13, 2010 11:17am
Pop:  
Kate, you are looking really good. I hope that you can catch your big sister.
July 22, 2010             Two Wheelin' it!

Riding horses wasn't the only thing we did while Daddy was busy flying.....Mommy has been busy trying to have me work on my bike riding skills and all that hard work finally paid off. Now the picture doesn't show it all, so be sure to click on the video to see my new skill!!
Aug 13, 2010 11:15am
Pop:  
That is some NICE riding Kirsten. It looks like that seat is ready for a little boost up too.
Aug 14, 2010 2:03am
Daddy:  
Daddy agrees, but the low seat helps her with starting and stopping for now.
July 17, 2010                   Giddy Up (part 2)

Don't be fooled with my small size. Kirsten wasn't the only one that got to ride on a horse. Sometimes I have to keep reminding everyone that I can do everything my big sister can. However, I still like to ask for some help every once in a while.
July 17, 2010                   Giddy Up

While Daddy was off flying, Mommy decided to take us horseback riding. We got to walk around the ranch to see the horses and animals that were there. After we were done looking around we got to ride one of the horses! I had so much fun that now I keep asking Mom and Dad for a horse!
July 13, 2010                   Getting Clean

I don't get these very often, but I smell really yummy when I'm done getting one. I don't seem to mind them right now as long as I get wrapped up in my towel as soon as I'm done. The warmer I am the happier I seem to be!
Aug 1, 2010 6:55pm
Pop:  
Well if you like to be warm, it is a good thing that you are in Texas because it is really HOT there.

Aunt Heather:  
I like the new Blog title!!
Aug 12, 2010 2:06pm
Aunt Jill:  
You look just like your Daddy!
July 12, 2010                   Holding Luke

I'm always asking to hold my baby brother Luke and someone was quick enough to get some pictures of me while I was holding him. He was being nice and wasn't squirming around too much which makes me happy.
Aug 3, 2010 10:27am
Jen:  
So cute! And I recognize that cute little outfit Luke's wearing!!!
July 12, 2010                   Rockin' it!

We got to stay and play after we were done with our gym class today. They people at the gym pulled out all kinds of toys and I think our favorite one was this rocking toy. We were ready to rock on it all day long!
July 11, 2010                   Swimming Observer

Although I don't head down to the pool when my sisters do, Mommy takes me there later so I can watch them swim. Apparently I have to wait until I'm a little bit older before I get to go swimming......and I can't wait!
July 11, 2010                   Pool Time

While Gramgo's been here visiting she's been very good about taking us to the pool each morning to go swimming. During our time at the pool we get to play, but not until after we are done practicing our swimming skills.
July 05, 2010                   Gramgo's Helper

We both know that Gramgo is good with babies so we decided to seek her advice on how to take care of our new baby brother Luke. So far she's been really helpful and has given us lots of useful tips.
July 03, 2010                   Hi There!!

Daddy was busy taking pictures so I thought I'd get up and close so he could get a really good picture of me! I think it turned out great and I wanted him to share it with everyone, so here it is. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Jul 20, 2010 1:41pm
Claudine :):  
Like it very much!
Aug 1, 2010 7:18pm
GRANDMA JUNE:  
Oh, My Goodness Katelyn, WHAT BIG CHEEKS you have. I just love them and wish that I were close enough to give them a kiss. Tell your Mom and Dad that they are really doing a great job raising you children. Much love to all of you!
July 02, 2010                   Peach Pie

Mommy decided to surprise everyone with some fresh peaches today. Not only did she get fresh peaches, but she asked us to help her make a peach pie. It turned out really yummy and it's almost gone already!!
Jul 6, 2010 1:39am
Daddy:  
....now it's gone. Had the last piece tonight!!
July 01, 2010                   Pizza Parlor

Gramgo surprised us with ingredients so we could make our very own pizza! In case you're wondering, you're probably not seeing things. we actually like having broccoli on our pizza. Daddy wanted sausage on his half, so we saved some room for him too.
Jul 27, 2010 6:34am
Aunt Heidi:  
Your pizzas look yummy. We love veggies on our pizza too.
Jul 27, 2010 6:34am
P.S.:  
Looking very snappy in those aprons!
June 28, 2010                   Tower Builders

Gramgo and I were working hard on building a nice block tower when I decided that the tower was getting to tall. I'm sure you can guess what happened next! Not to worry though because I don't mind making a new tower.....just so I can knock it over again.
June 27, 2010                   Chillin' Luke

Just hangin' out and chillin' in one of my spots. Things are pretty good when you get to eat, sleep and have everyone else take care of you. I'll occasionally give a smile here and there, but they're kinda hard to come by. Daddy is still trying to get a picture of me while I'm smiling. He claims it's just a matter of time.....
June 26, 2010                   Birthday Cookies

We had our cake and ice cream and managed to make it all better still with cookies we decorated ourselves. As you can see Kate is concentrating very hard and Kirsten has managed to fit in all of the colors very nicely. Even better though is the way they taste.
June 26, 2010             Happy Birthday Kate!

Yes, that's right. I had a party for my half birthday since my real birthday is the day after Christmas. It was a blast. We had a Piņata, decorated cookies, and played in the ball pit. Check back soon so you can see a video of everyone singing happy birthday and of the really cool cake daddy made for me.
June 28, 2010 8:19am
Heather:  
Happy 1/2 birthday Kate! Kevin, I want details on that cool cake...very nice!!
Jul 4, 2010 1:34pm
Kevin:  
I'll be sure to hook you up! Of note, I just posted the video of Kate trying to blow out her candles!
Jul 27, 2010 6:36am
Heidi:  
Kevin--this looks like one of your best yet!
June 18, 2010                   Hangin' w/ Mom

I think this is Daddy's favorite picture so far. I think Daddy was super happy that we all cooperated and gave him some nice smiles! In case you're wondering, Katelyn also had a turn holding Luke, and Daddy will post that later!
June 27, 2010 4:15am
Aunt Heidi:  
All of you look great!
June 30, 2010 4:43am
Sis:

June 18, 2010                   Up Close

This morning we went back to the hospital to visit with our baby brother, and we got to get up and close with him. Mommy said we have to be good listeners, and so far we've been pretty good!
June 19, 2010 12:05am
Karen, Jared and Becca:  
Congratulations!! We're so excited for you guys!! Keep up the good listening skills girls and enjoy watching your new little brother!!
June 17, 2010                   Nursery Visit

Now that I've spent some time with Mommy and Daddy, it's time for me to head off to the nursery. They'll give me a check-up and a bath, and then I'll get to go back to Mom!!
