Camryn and I took lunch to the birthday girl.

Kate got a Blardigan for her birthday.  Twinkies!

Kate is EIGHT!

Our Katerbug is EIGHT!  Eight!  She seems so big and so little all at the same time.  It's so fun watching her grow up and see the girl God is molding her into!  She is so full of energy and joy, loves adventure, and loves learning! 

We took a few pictures while we were in Austin...

 Camryn wanted a pic too...

It took forever for her to kick this sickness.  This is pretty much what we did for a week.

I thought Amy and I were going to have to UBER home so Parker could fit the TV in the car.

Finally better!!!

Brynlee's first sentence. She was so proud.

Dot day at school.

Lunch with my 2nd grader.
