Katelyn's 4th birthday party

Katelyn's 4th birthday fell on a sunday this year so on friday we took chocolate sprinkled cupcakes (that the both of us made) to her preschool. She loved putting the sprinkles on the cupcakes.
Don't they look YUMMY!!!



So Katelyn told us Friday night that "the birthday girl got put in timeout" I was a little shocked.. don't get me wrong..she acts up but most of the time her acting up is with me and michael.. she is TERRIFIED to get in trouble anywhere besides home. Well she said she didn't cry b/c the whole class got put in timeout b/c they didn't clean up after her birthday party. I talked with another little girl in the class the next day and she said the same thing. So I just told Katelyn to listen to the teacher and clean up when she says too. Her first time in timeout was on her bday celebration.. so of course i couldn't get too mad at her.

On Saturday we celebrated her birthday at JUMP in tupelo with some of her friends. The kids all seemed to have a great time.

Andie Kate and Katelyn- they are in the same class at preschool last year and again this year. We hear about Andie Kate alot at our house.

PRESENT TIME!!







She had a great 4th birthday.. its still hard for me to believe that she is 4. Makes her momma sad that she is growing up so fast.

Katelyn's first dance class

Katelyn started a dance and tumbling class this week. She will go for an hour every monday. She was really excited. I was pretty excited for her too. Here are a few pictures. Unfortunately they didn't want the parents to stay and watch b/c it distracts the kids. But she said she had a good time.

BIG SISTER Katelyn!!

1st day of preschool

Today Katelyn started her 2nd year of preschool. She absolutely loved it last year so I knew she would love it again this year. We had to wake her up a little earlier than normal but she woke up in the best mood. She was ready to go by 7:25, she had to wait on me to finish getting ready though. She is growing up so fast. I asked her if she was scared or nervous and she of course her response was NO. She told us that she wanted Daddy and Mommy to take her to school this morning.. so of course we said that was good with us. Well when we pull in the parking lot she said "I will walk in by myself" It killed me!! But we went in anyway, its her first day!!! here are some pictures.

Visit from Granny and the kids

Michael's mom aka Granny and 2 of our nieces and 1 nephew came from Alabama to visit. We had a great time with them. Katelyn enjoyed putting everyone in timeout. It was good to see them it had been since Christmas. We hope they will come visit again soon.

Back to the blogging world

Ok so I have been majorly slacking with the blogging. I know I need to do better on this. Here are some new pictures.. more to come later


Katelyn at Nana and Papaws house. She spent the whole week with my parents last week in Madison. I missed her so much I could hardly stand it. I knew I would enjoy the peace and quiet at our house but after a day I was ready for her to come back. I know she had a blast. But when I got there on friday she was so excited to see me and gave me like 100 hugs and kisses.

She has been very attached to me ever since the beginning of the pregnancy. She has grown up so much since my last post.. She will be 4 at the end of August. She is about to start her 2nd year of preschool. She loves to sing and play and loves to be the center of attention at all times. She tends to get a little jealous if she thinks the world is not revolving around her.

We went to the beach this summer with Michael's family. We had a blast. Katelyn loved every minute of it. Here are some pictures (thanks Erin) I accidentally deleted all of my 200 pictures on my camera.







While we were at the beach we had our "gender reveal party" for baby SIMPSON. We were so excited for everyone to find out its another girl. No one was more excited than Big Sister Katelyn. Bless her heart she only wanted a baby sister. She told me if it was a boy she was going to kick him out of our house. She wanted a little princess to take care of.






Next week..... 1st day of preschool pictures..
