    Happy Birthday Katie Lynn!!!

    Katie Lynn is turning into a little girl right before our very eyes.  We had a very busy birthday weekend and she loved every minute.  Katie Lynn started with celebrating at school with her class.  Then we took her out to dinner, she got to pick anywhere she wanted to go and she picked her favorite, Chick-il-a.  After dinner we headed up to Monica’s work, her school had a big 10 year celebration which the girls enjoyed.

    Next we headed home and Katie Lynn got to open her gift from us.  We already had it together and set out for her.

    Next it was off to bed, someone needed their beauty sleep before their party the next day.

    Party time! Katie Lynn had her party at a girly dress-up place.  Her and some friends got to dress up, eat cake and dance.  They had a blast.

    After the party we headed home, we had a nice evening and Katie Lynn opened her gifts. This is one from Karyn.

    Katie Lynn had such a great birthday.  Thank you to all our family and friends who came out to celebrate with us.

    Happy Birthday Princess, Mommy & Daddy love you!

  2. Halloween:2011

    November 12, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    What a busy, busy weekend.  There was so much to do and not enough time!  The girls loved every minute of it and that might be because of all the sugar they got!

    Thursday night we headed to our family Y to join in their festival.

    Both girls played the cake walk and both ended up winning, yummy stuff with way too much icing.

     

    Friday night the girls school had a fall festival, we of course went.  The girls got to dress up in their Halloween costumes and Monica’s parents were able to come and join us.

    Granddad and Katie Lynn.  Karyn is not very into pictures right now, she runs from the camera.

    Saturday night Tom and I went to a Halloween party, Steve Jobs and an Apple.

    Sunday the girls had a birthday party to attend, they had so much fun!

    Monday night rounds out our weekend, we took the girls trick-or-treating and Tom’s parents were able to join us.

    The girls started off a little slow and unsure but after they got the hang of it, they were off! Katie Lynn would look at us while waiting for Karyn and some friends, “Come on! We need to get candy”.  There was also a house with no lights so we told Katie Lynn that no one was home and that we needed to go to the next house, she says “we just need to knock on the door” Silly girl.

    Down the street there is a huge spider we drive by, last year Katie Lynn wouldn’t even walk up to the spider, this year both girls went up to it.  They were sad when the spider went away till next year.

    We had a great Halloween and I think the girls enjoyed trick-or-treating the most.

  3. Happy 4th Birthday, Katie Lynn!

    November 5, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    Happy Birthday to our favorite 4 year old!  It is hard to believe that Katie Lynn is 4 years old,  it seems just like yesterday that we were getting ready for her arrival.  Four years ago today we had our sweet baby girl and little did we know what a roller coaster that first year was going to be.  Katie Lynn persevered and overcame every obstacle in front of her, she is our little miracle and we thank God everyday for her.

    Katie Lynn has continued to grow and we have enjoyed watching her every step of the way.  She is such a big girl and is so independent. She can spell her name, all of it and when she writes it, you can make out that it says Katie Lynn.  We are still working on the K, it is one of the hardest letters for kids to get.  She likes to ask a lot of questions and expects you to know the answers, I don’t know is not acceptable.  Katie Lynn is very observant of her surroundings.  The other week she let us know that the green circle at the store is where people go in and the red circle is where people come out.

    Katie Lynn is such a blessing to us and we can’t wait to see how much she grows this next year.

     

    I took this from a friend and though it was a neat idea.  We will be answering these questions each year with the girls to see what they like and how they change through the years.

  4. San Diego:The Trip North & The Trip Back

    November 2, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    Now that it is November and our summer trip was back in August, I figured I would go ahead and wrap it up.  After our fun weekend, I headed north with the girls.  We went to stay with my friend Melissa, we have known each other since Kindergarten.  I enjoyed getting to catch up with Melissa and letting our girls play together.  Here are some photos from our fun adventures….

    We took a trip to the pet store.

    The girls spent a lot of time playing and enjoyed eating together.

    Melissa’s husband is a pilot, he let us know they were going to be doing drills.  We took the girls out to the air base to watch the jets, we ended up seeing several fly by.

    We had pizza/movie night.  We made pizzas from scratch and watched Tangled.  Katie Lynn’s new favorite movie.

    All four of our girls hanging out on the couch.

    We even got a picture of the two of us together.

    We finished our visit by taking a trip to the park.  Aren’t they so cute!!

    They are 3 months apart in age.

    These two were 2 peas in a pod.  It was amazing how much they were alike.

    They are just a day apart in age.

    The trip home was very uneventful…thank goodness.  We had a great time.

    We saw a ton of trains throughout the whole trip, the girls would call them out and talk about whose side the train was on.
