Katie Girl

My sweet daughter Katie is a little big of everything!

This post is for her.

....because I am proud of her,

of who she is on the inside...

....ok...and the outside too!

For those of you who may have never met Katie...

genetically speaking, she got my hair...

 and everything else from her dad, including those long arms and legs.

It worked out just fine for her!

...as you can see!

Also....she does everything she can to straighten or cover up her curly hair

(which she got from me...

I already said that didn't I?)

She is a loyal, true....and tall....friend. 

This was taken after her community theatre debut this fall.

She knows no fear when it comes to tubing...there she is on the left.

"Bring it on..."

Be aware of that if she ever asks you if you want to go tubing with her.

Consider yourself warned.

She loves flowers...

....games by candlelight during storms...

....summer camps....

and...NOT horseback riding!...

Here she is attempting to save the life of a small bird by taking it to a wildlife rescue

...the bird died 5 minutes before we got there...dramatically.

Yes that's a hat box with a frying shield over it.

Tough morning.

She's an excellent lemonade stand manager...

...one ski water skiier....

ok to be honest we are still working on that skill...

...loves gardening..

...and eating...

...and friends.

Love you Katie,

Mom

p.s....Katie...please don't be mad at me when you see this.  :)
