Luv this kid












I am feeling very thankful for this beautiful, smart, funny, little four year old. After a few tough days I have been subtly reminded how lucky I am to have her in my life. I love her eyes, her smile, her sense of humor, and yes even when she "toots" like her dad. I love hearing her sing songs she has learned or made up. I love when she just moves her lips when she doesn't know the words to a song. I love watching her dance around the room, play house with friends and most of all I love it when she says you are the best mom in the world and gives me a hug.

Birthday girl.


Lets start at the end.
Mermaid pinata (no pictures mom was done!)
Kitchen floor=mashed cupcakes

We had pizza, fruit and chocolate cupcakes.
Opened presents, and danced in a circle around the birthday girl.

Crafts on the deck: coloring hello kitty and making butterfly hair bows

13 screaming girls and monsoon weather hits.
Water balloon fight, mini pool and slip n slides.

All = one very happy 4 year old.

Kate was so excited to have a birthday. We made a paper chain so she could keep track of the days. One day she woke so early and had our swim suit on ready to go. Every morning the first words out of her mouth were can I go rip it now. Meaning ripping off a link of the chain.

Kate received wonderful gifts and I think had a pretty special day. She has many friends many ages and the older girls helped me keep order and helped the little ones with their crafts.

It was a super special day for Troy and I too. We are so blessed to have this little girl in our life. It wouldn't have happened with out her precious birthmother. We are so grateful to her and love her very much.

I have to add a few funny things that Kate has said lately. She was playing with a doll and there was a boy friend mentioned. I asked Kate what is a boyfriend? I don't know. Is it a boy who is your friend? No. Well what do you do with a boyfriend? You kill him!
laughing: that is right.

She also tells me she can do what ever she wants because she is four. She doesn't want to be a teenager. And she doesn't want to die. Although when she plays with her friends they sure do "die" a lot.

The other day I walked in the room saying I am so hot. Troy said, I am hotter. (as in good looking) Kate then tried to say she was the hottest but said. I am very very warm.
She makes us laugh a lot. She is growing up way to fast.
