I'm having mixed emotions today. Kaitlyn turns 4 today. I remember when it was just the three of us, when she was so tiny. I can't believe we are only one year away from kindergarten. Oh, it makes me want to cry. I miss taking naps on the couch with her. Now, I have a hard time getting her to take a nap at all. She is such a sweet little girl who really loves making her mommy and daddy happy.

Here she is around one and a half. This was the first time I was able to pull her hair up in pig tails!

Again, around one and a half, sitting in the sink, brushing her teeth. Love it!

Last one of her at one and a half. I just love her eyes.

Now, here she is the night before turning four. So much bigger, and messier! Ice cream on her face and Kool-Aid on her shirt. They were being rewarded for being so good....I'm glad we decided to do this outside! Ignore the date posts on the rest of these. They are all wrong!

This was such a cute pic of Abby on the 4th. She just loved watching the fireworks. She sat with Miss Liz (one of the other firefighters wives) the whole time and had a blast.

Kaity fell asleep on Daddy just before the fireworks started. So cute!

We woke her up and she loved them. Seeing their faces was well worth driving an hour after the show was over.

Kaity took this one of Abby and I, hence the shadow over half of my face!

Here are the two munchkins waiting (patiently?) for the fireworks to start. Kaity can be such a ham sometimes.

So, the day before the fourth, we found this HUGE frog in our backyard. I had Travis put his hand down next to it so you could see just how big it was, and Kaity decided she had to put her hand down too. I don't think I've ever seen a frog this big before!! I think he may have been hurt, though. Travis tried to nudge him to see how far he could jump and he seemed to get mad. He puffed up really big, so we left him alone.

The girls next to the frog.

I know this is from forever ago, but I just realized I never put these on here. While I was staying at my parents house in May, we painted my dad's office. This room has been pink since we moved into it (about 16 years ago). It has been used as a bedroom for some of us, but has been an office for my dad for the last.....I don't even know how long! It's been a while. So, as an early father's day gift, we painted the room and bought some new bookcases. The girls decided they wanted to help with the painting, so we let them help with the first coat. They really had a good time.

This one is even older than the last one! We were still living in Louisiana. It was a HOT day and the girls were just dieing to play outside. I let them play for a little bit, but their faces were so red, I made them get into their undies so I could hose them off, lol. We don't have a kiddie pool, so I filled up a bucket for them to splash eachother from. Appearantly, splashing isn't enough, and before I knew it, they were climbing in the bucket! I ended up having to get another bucket so they wouldn't fight over the one.
