Big Day

Kate turns 4...



I walked into kate's room one morning and this is the face I found...This is still my favorite picture.
kate tidbits
lOVES
At four kate loves barbies, princesses, swimming, riding her bike, playing endless games with her mommy and COLORING!!
quirks
She is my little prancer and always lets me know when brooke is doing something wrong. (Oldest child trait) Kate is also my little turtle. She takes her time to do EVERYTHING. The Lord knew I need to learn patience somehow..
food
She loves to eat yogurt, chocolate doughnuts, and rootbeer.
not so favorite
She does not like the "tickalish"- when her daddy cleans her teeth....ok lets be honest- fill her sugar bugs.
short story:
One day me and ezra we have a "discussion" and I was complaing about something he was NOT doing and Kate piped in and said. " mom you just have to forgive like Jesus". Shut me up.
quick thoughts:
I feel like I just had her..so cliche but I think this is why I love big families and why I want one. They grow so FAST and it is hardest thing anyone does but it is also the BEST. And plus I think I might miss the caous a little...
Ok so here is the three party run down
On sunday we celebrated Cason, Kate and Uncle Brendon's birthday. Kate got her "barbie" cake which her Aunt Jenni insisted that she have one.


Cason and Cooper going for Thomas..who needs bowls?

Last night we had a little party for ezra's family. Kate's favorite cake is this honey bun cake..ooh so yum..someday I will post the recipe..


The fabulous four cousins.




Grandma and Grandpa cheesing it up.
And then sadly this is the only picture of have of kate's party at the park. Yes once again Hayley forgets her camera. But it was fun. Cupcakes, pinata, loads of sugar. A kid couldn't ask for more. Instead of kids bringing kate a present I told everyone to bring a book and we had a book a exchange. The kids loved it! Everyone got a book to take home. And kate decorated these lovey cupcakes. I think they need a few more sprinkles....

Ohh... so fun! I'm so sorry we missed out! My kids went to naps at 1:30.. I was thinking they'd get plenty of rest before the birthday party. Uh.. I think around 3 I called Jenni and said they were still sleeping, and Hayley!...they slept til 5:00!!! Little stinkers :) I hope Kate had a fun birthday this year! We'll have to do another playdate so the kids can play again. :)

Jennilyn said...

Love that picture too! Just seems like the other day mom and I were picking you up at the airport and I met the little baldy for the first time! I was the best babysitter that Christmas! Since Coopie was not born yet! I loved taking care of her that Christmas!

Emily said...

I can't believe it, either! I vividly remember you giving me labor tips right after you'd had Kate. Crazy! She is so cute, Hayley!

Hayley tell Kate Happy Birthday from her Iowa friend Lili! We looked through Lili's pictures today and there are so many cute pictures of them when they were so little. I love the book exchange idea...I'm going to have to steal that one. Oh I just love Kate's cute smile.
