I cannot believe that Kaitlyn, our baby, is three years old.  She has been such a blessing to us…


Kaitlyn is a fun loving happy little girls with LOTS of personality.  She is constantly giving a look or a goofy face that just makes you laugh!  She has a very neat imagination that is fun to watch.  There are very few times of the day that she is not playing with one of her siblings… she really tries to hang in there with the big kids.  Kaitlyn was a late talker and we are working through some speech issues.  But that is some thing that makes us really appreciate what Kaitlyn has to say even more.  The sound of her voice is so sweet and tender.  Who knew that her favorite food would be peanut butter and jelly as well as pancakes?  Kaitlyn loves to play on our iphones and our ipad.  She navigates them both exceptionally well!!!

God has blessed us with a very special little girl.

This year, we decided to have a lower key birthday party for Kaitlyn.  It was a fun change this year to have a Mickey Mouse party with breakfast for dinner!!  As I was looking for cakes, Kaitlyn pointed to one on the computer and said that it was ‘my birthday cake’.  And so the girls (Nicole and Pam) and I did the best we could to create the cake that Kaitlyn wanted.

Kaitlyn was really excited to be able to bounce around outside in the bounce house and was even more excited to do that with her friend, Jax.  The two of them can be so cute together!!!

The kids continued to play for a while and the adults ate dinner.  It did not take long for the kids to want to open presents. So we mixed up the order and did gifts and then presents.  It was a fun change!!!

Kaitlyn got lots of fun gifts this year; games, zoobles, polly pockets, etc.   Her favorite gift has definitely been the set of horses from Melissa and Doug.  She has also really taken to her new hat for the winter.

It was a race this year for Kaitlyn to blow out her candles and she was going to make sure that AJ did not do it first.  But it was really neat to see her smile every time anyone sang Happy Birthday to her.  She loved it!!!

Thank you to everyone that help make Kaitlyn’s Birthday such a special day for her!!!

Did I mention who wound Kaitlyn was after the party?  She played ball and ran around.  In fact, an hour after I put her to bed I heard her sweet little voice wanting some water.  Seriously…

And thank you Pam for getting the picture of Nate, Kaitlyn and I!!
