Katelyn is SIX

Wednesday Katelyn turned 6 years old! She is such a sweetie pie and really matured a lot over the summer, it seems. She is 90% for height and 60% for weight. Strong, healthy, and energetic. She loves everything about her American Girl doll, playing with her princesses, doggies, climbing, doing obstacle courses, reading so well, playing with her brothers, and her family. We are so blessed to have her in our family and look forward to another year of exciting adventures!



She requested pancakes with icing and candles just like last year!


Kit goes everyone....even while she's climbing trees!


Swimming the morning of her birthday!



She got a rainbow loom bracelet maker and used made all 20 bracelets it came with during the first 24 hours she had it! She gave most of them away to her friends and family. She worked so hard and kept saying how much fun it was!


The evening of her birthday she had Girl Scouts, so we made cupcakes to take.



On Saturday we had a small birthday party for her at our neighborhood pool.





We were so thankful that Aunt Lindsay, Grammy, Pappy, Mimi and Pops were able to come along with a few of her friends from school, the neighborhood and preschool.





Our little birthday mermaid!



After the party we headed back to our house to celebrate Grammy's birthday too. Her birthday was on the 7th, just a day earlier. These kiddos sure love their Grammy!


Kyler giving Aunt Lindsay some love!


Mimi snuggles!


Matching Jammies!! Thank you Grammy and Pappy, she loves them!


Her first real Lego set....we've held off on "big kid" Legos since Kyler was still putting things in his mouth. Now that he's over that phase, Katelyn loved putting this set together from her friend, Claire. She did it all by herself and played so quietly for an hour and a half! Love it!!


We love you, sweet girl!!!
