More of Kathryn's Art work

Charlotte's getting around

Charlotte has really become proficient with her walker.  She's getting so strong.  She can almost run with the walker.   I've taken her to the store and she walked the whole time.   I do have to go when I don't have anywhere to be, because she gets distracted easy and since I can't hold her hand, it's really all up to her.  with a little guidence...

Her vocabulary has also sky rocketed.  Two months ago her developmental Therapist said she was maybe a little behind but now this month she's ahead of the game.   She almost always says she doesn't really need to come but keeps track of the all over picture for Charlotte.   I think she wants to keep Charlotte as a client cause she's so cute and easy!

She's even starting to say multiple word sentences.  

That's mine.  Hold you.   Carolin, Daddy's tickling me.

Her favorite foods right now are string cheese and hot dogs and Cherrios.  She usually wakes up and the first thing out of her mouth is Hot Dog,  or Cherrios!  I like the Cherrios.  Not so much the Hot dog part.

She turns 2 this month.  I can't believe I was in San Fransico 2 years ago.  It seems like forever ago.    Charlotte is such a delight to have in our family.  She brightens everyones day.  Always so happy.  Everyone loves our Charlotte.  Matthew says she's really the only talker in her nursery class at church.  She also know's that after sacrement meeting is over she goes straight to nursery.  She walks right on over with her walker.

Oh I have to mention she LOVES babies! She can make them smile! They all love her too. She's so good with them.

Last years Easter picture.   Heres our beautiful Easter bunny!    Happy Easter everyone!

Kathryn Goes Short

Kathryn Cut her own hair yesterday.  I came home and everyone was just doing what they do and I look at Kathryn and was like 'Kathryn, did you cut your hair?'   She said yes mom.  It's up in your bathroom.

I thought she looked like she had a mullet as she cut the two sides short to her ears and left that back.   I had to cut the rest of it.   Last night I wasn't sure it would turn out but this morning she looks way cute as you can see in the last picture of her.  She actually looks a little more grown up.   I've been wanting to cut her hair a bit anyway. 

Kathryn Fly's and Eye's

We were having some fun one day trying to get Kathryn to jump and me actually get a picture of her in the air.    This was fun!

 Here she goes!

 Up, Up, and Away!

I also wanted to check the Macro setting on my camera so I got some close ups on our eyes.   I can't believe how wrinkely I am.  That was a rude awakening.  Any one know of any amazing eye creams? 



Anyone guess which eye is Kathryn's and which eye is Charlotte's. It actually took me a second to realize which was which.    It's also amazing how gross your eye gets as you age.  Man where did my nice milky smooth skin go.  I'm sure I looked exactly like my girls did. 

Kathryn's 4th Birthday

Kathryn turned 4 this week.  She is getting to be such a big girl.   We brought cupcakes to her class at preschool.  She is the only girl of 9 boys.  She really adds to the dynamic of the class.  (side note, I found out she has a sort of boyfriend at school)  he shares his play dough with her).

She got to open her presents from Carolin first on her birthday.  She got a cute red shirt that glows in the dark and a pretty charm bracelet from Carolin's Parents and a really cute polka-dot dress from Carolin.   She loved the glow in the dark shirt! 

She got some stickers as well.  Charlotte had fun with the stickers.

 I asked Kathryn what she wanted for dinner and she said Pizza at a friends house.  So we went over to her friend Ryleighs and had Costco Pizza and cupcakes.  Kathryn loves going over to Ryleighs. 

 Here is Kathryn's Cake for her birthday party.   I think it turned out pretty good for being my first to use decorating tips and such.  It tasted good. 

The Princess party.  We invited the girls in Kathryn's primary class and one older girl friend.  I liked this party.  Small and Simple.  And they were all so CUTE!  We had 3 sleeping Beauties, 2 Cinderella's and one Fairy Princess.   I put on the invite to come as their favorite Princesses.  That made the party in and of it self. 

 Happy Birthday to you,

 Happy Birthday to you,

 Happy Birthday to Kathryn,

 Happy Birthday to you!

 We painted all the little girls finger nails with "Pal Nelish".  Thats what Kathryn calls it.  She switches the P and the N.  I correct her every time and she still calls it pal Nelish.   It was a fun day. 

Kathryn Sure is grown up.  There are times now that I say you can do this Kathryn your a big girl and she says no mom I'm not four yet I'm only Three and I have to remind her no you're a big girl now you had your birthday.    She likes to reason with you as to how big she is or what she is capable of doing to her age and size.   She said the other day that she couldn't be four cause she wasn't any bigger. 

Kathryn loves nail polish, lip gloss, princesses, strawberry shortcake,  Rugrats,  and pretty dresses.
