She's 4!

How did my little girl get so big? Kate turned 4 on July 17th! She had a great birthday. Since David was working nights on Kate's birthday we just had a little family party for her on her actual birthday. She requested her favorite dinner...chicken wrap ups, she opened up a few presents and had cake #1! It was a nice relaxing day. Kate's favorite gift was by far the hand crafted wooden bunk beds and high chair that the Ebert family passed on to her! Her dolls are in heaven and so is she!




Kate insisted on having a friend birthday party this year and since she has never officially had one we obeyed. It was to be a Strawberry Shortcake party and I think we pleased her. I had to order everything online and it arrived the night before the party! We had a strawberry pinata, played pin the strawberry on Strawberry Shortcake, ring toss and freeze dance. We had pizza, strawberry fanta and chips for lunch. Her cake was of course strawberry and the ice cream...strawberry. What more could a little girl want? It wore me out!







After the party was over, Kate and I headed to the doctor for her 4 year physical. She was an angel! She got 4 shots and didn't even flinch. In fact, she smiled while two nurses simultaneously gave her shots in both legs! And boy was she excited to get those 4 Dora stickers afterwards. And can you believe that we actually have a child on the growth chart? She is 39 1/4" tall (39th%) and weighs 32 pounds (24%). She just may outdo both of her brothers! We love you Kate. You are one of a kind!
