A Minny Mouse Birthday

We celebrated the birthday of Katherine's friend Hadley.  She turned two.

 I thought this picture looked so funny. Gage's head was in the perfect spot.

 Waiting to pull the pinata string.

 Katherine would not join in any of the festivities. She only wanted momma and cried every time I put her down. That was until she got a little cake. Then she was happy as can be.

 Sabrina lost a tooth during the party. She almost swallowed it.

The First NSU Game of 2013

This year NSU won the first game of their season. It was awesome! Triple overtime...which would have been more exciting but Katherine was not happy about it and kept head butting me. Arg. We got Katherine to yell NSU during the game. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get her to say it when I thought of recording it!

Greg and Jacob were both very serious about football.

Katherine is 18 months :)

Katie Kate Kate...Baby Cakes...Katherine...Kate...she still goes by about 100 different names. She is  1 1/2 years old now and we are loving every minute that she is with us.

Ten things about Kate:

1-She loves to read and almost always has a book near her.
2-She loves to play with Jacob and is currently beating him with legos mostly on accident...he is taking it really well.
3-She eats everything if your not watching her closely...crayons...sucking the juice out of the markers...it scares me. I have to watch her really really closely.  She loves to color and do crafty things...she just eats it all!

4-She says a selection of words. My favorites include: Cheese, milk, want some of that, dog, Clara, please and of course her favorite words. cupcake, cake, cookie and anything else sugary.
5-Katherine loves to play tea party with her animals.
6-Katherine has been sleeping in her big girl bed at night. The second night she fell out of her bed (yes even with safety rails) and split her lip open. It bleed a lot and made me really sad. She cannot sleep in her bed during naps. The temptation to play is too great and she will not stop making Dog lunch and serving it to him. Funny girl.

7-She loves to sing and dance especially when daddy plays the guitar.
8-The sandbox is her favorite activity out doors.
9-Her favorite TV show is Daniel Tiger. We call it Tigy.
10-She is the best little kisser ever. She loves to kiss everyone and everything!

Here are a few more pictures. Just love this girl!

First Day of School August 2013

 I thought the picture above was so funny. Yes. It was Greg's first week of school so he got to be in the picture too.  Katherine was so sad that everyone left without her. Jacob was happy to get to play a little on his own.

 But...me...momma cried. I hate it when school starts again.
