Katelyn: 3

She's 3 and none of us can believe it! What a special little lady we have. She is my sweet/sassy girl.
She is intense about everything in life. Whether she's happy, sad, mad, excited, cold, hot, tired, you name it, she will give it everything she has. You will never wonder how she's feeling, you will always know! 
She has NO fear. 
She loves to swing and can pump herself.
She loves to swim and put her head under the water over and over again.
She loves gum and snacks.
She regularly falls and/or gets hurt. And loves bandaids.
She loves "shows."
She is just a tiny little munchkin.
She has natural curly, curly hair that I just can't seem to cut.
She loves to dress up, sing, and play music.
She does everything Allie does.
She always want to listen to books and memorize them.
She loves animals.
She is starting to tell stories that somewhat make sense.
She wants to do everything on her own. She is very independent.
She fights and yells at us most of the day.
She runs on her little toes and it's super cute.
We love this little darling!

Visitors & The Little Bug Turns 3

Doug's parents came over on Thursday night to see Katelyn and give her lots of birthday love! We went to eat at Carino's and loved having them back in Boise!
The girl's made their Pa's some fabulous, blinging ties for Father's Day.
My parents came on Friday and we went out to PF Chang's sans kids.
Got a little goofy...

We went to Monster's University and saw this cool snail to sit on

Then we had Katelyn's birthday party. My parents, Ben, Mattie and the kids made it to the party. We had dinner, cupcakes, popsicles, and played at the park, mostly on the splash pad. It was a perfect day to be out and we all had a blast!
When she opened our gift we went straight for the gum!
She made sure she gave everyone there a great hug!
Cupcake TIME!
She blew out pretend candles (AKA popsicles made out of Mike and Ike's)
And had no problem eating every last crumb!
Okay neither did I!
How Allie ate hers

Catch Up

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks:
Went out for ice cream
Smiled really big
Drank a DP...or two...or three...
Got messy
Had awesome morning hair
Made a summer bucket list
Got a great tent from my parents. Cleaned said tent
Read together
Had an awesome sunset
Went to the leg doctor...AGAIN
Stayed with Nanny and Pa at the farm. Mom and Dad went to Girl's Camp
Celebrated Father's Day with the very best one
Played Motor Boat
Floated like Super Woman
Floated on the back
Loved swim lessons

And the above little knocked her front tooth loose. I don't dare explain it because it will make your teeth hurt just from hearing it. Her bone is cracked but she should be fine. Oh dear.

Life Cycles

We had caterpillars and then we had butterflies! It was just fun to watch the girls with their little pets. Here are some pictures when we set them free. (Katelyn's hair is a total mess...but what do you do!?)
