Katelyn

 Not long after Kyler got his cast off, Katelyn fell off the swing in our own backyard and broke her wrist. It was her first official cast, but the third time for her to have a broken/sprained wrist! 

It was a normal school morning and she and Levi were ready early, so they headed outside to swing for a few minutes before we had to leave. Approximately 2 seconds later, she was back inside crying and holding her wrist. She apparently decided to let go with both hands to pull her hair out of her face and fell straight down onto her wrist and nose. Luckily, we knew where to go since we'd just gone through this with Kyler. 

She was so responsible with her cast, kept it dry and clean.  Now that it's off she does the excercies the doc recommended and is building her strength back up quickly. Although, she's really enjoyed being able to sit out of some of the PE games, so she can chat with her friend, Ava, who had a broken foot. 

Board games are her love language lately.....love playing with this sweet girl!

And she actually let me braid her hair one day!!!

Omlet love with Mimi!

She too had her field trip recently. The 4th grade went to the Alamo and Mission San Jose. They've been learning about Texas history this year, so it's only appropriate to go to the Alamo! 

We headed out a bit early from the field trip and squeezed in a little fun before we picked up the boys. Across the street from the Alamo is a Mirror Maze that she's wanted to try for years. It was harder than we expected. Katelyn was way better at it than me, I just let her take the lead and followed her around. It took us maybe 30 minutes to get through the whole thing. Whew, we were a little worried we wouldn't make it out....LOL!

On the field trip she purchased a Scorpian Sucker as her souvenier.....she was determined to eat the real scorpian inside.....until the first pincher started sticking out and she didn't touch it again. LOL...I didn't think she'd be brave enough to eat it....I sure wouldn't. 

She was officially recognized for her 2nd place win at the UIL Ready Writing competition during an awards ceremony a few weeks ago too. This is the best pic I got. :)
