6 years old! Can you believe it???

This post is a few weeks over due but I wanted to make sure I got one of Katey's Birthday. Better late than never, right?



Katey had an arts and crafts themed party this year. We painted, played with play-doh, made homemade toothpaste and decorated their own cupcakes. I think over all everyone had a good time.

Katey was very excited that she got her American Girl doll.


I'm not really sure what happened to the past 6 years...it sure doesn't seem like it's been 6 years, I still remember so clearly holding my tiny little 4 pound baby girl in my arms for the very 1st time.... I guess I blinked.

I'm a big boy now!

I'm happy to report that we FINALLY got Jack potty trained. YIPPEE! This is the 1st time in 6 years that we aren't buying diapers. Again, YIPPEE! So, now that he's a "big boy" we also got him a "big boy" bed. We moved Katey into her own little room. And when I say little I mean little, she has what used to be our computer room. All we can fit in there is her bed and a small dresser but she loves it and it's very easy for her to keep clean. :) Once we moved her I painted Jack's room. What a difference! So, here are a few pictures of our "big boy" in his big boys (that's what he calls underwear) on his big boy bed.





I know that someday he might want to kill me because of this but he was so proud I had to share it!

My Guy and Me Dance

Katey and Chad went to their 1st Fater/Daughter dance on Saturday. It was a Girl Scout event and she was so excited. Of course we had to get a new dress for her and Dad wore a suit. She was so funny she told Chad that he looked like the president. I guess she's not use to seeing him in a tie.They both said it was fun, actually she said it was the best night EVER! I think it was right up there for Chad too.
