Joy

These pictures bring JOY to me!

I have posted this picture before, but it needed to be repeated!

My newest picture of sweet Kadence.

At church one Wednesday night we traced the children. This was Emma Klaire's. She started coloring herself. Don't you just love the multi-colors???? I decided to take a picture of it in case it gets torn.

So until next time............find JOY!

Build-A-Bear and Birthday Day

Ella Kate decided she didn't want a party this year. (It was actually kind of bittersweet for me...ha!) She decided to take Elizabeth Grace and Emma Klaire to Build-a-Bear. So last Saturday we got Elizabeth and went to build a bear....well actually they built a cat, a dog, and a rabbit.

Rubbing their animals' hearts.

After we ate lunch and went to Build-A-Bear, Norman, Emma Klaire, Pepaw, and Memaw went home. I let the girls roam the mall a bit (with me of course), and then we got yogurt and went home. Elizabeth Grace spent the night with us....so of course they had a ball.

The day of her birthday was super busy.It started with a few presents before school.

                                           A birthday hug from sister.

Then it was off to school with cookie pies. I made three cookie pies for her classroom per her request. Her class sang to her, and I got to pop in for a few minutes.

After school we went to Nana's for a hotdog supper, cake, and presents. Always such fun!! She requested a red velvet cake and Nana didn't forget of course.

After Nana's we went to church and then to Memaw's and Pepaw's for gifts, and she got another piece of red velvet cake. Memaw didn't forget either. 

So Ella Kate had a great birthday!!!!!

We are still having a family get together this Saturday! So there will be more birthday pictures to come.

So until next time...........have joy!

ELLA KATE....BIRTHDAY GIRL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA KATE!!!

JANUARY 25TH

Dear Ella Kate,
   I can't believe that you are 10 years old. I so wish I could freeze time...however I also can't wait to see what God has in store for you as you grow into a young lady. Every year on your birthday we are reminded of how small you came into this world (2 lbs. 14 ozs).  You now are a healthy, beautiful girl! This year you welcomed a new baby cousin (Kadence), got braces, started taking clogging and baton, and continued piano and Upward basketball.
   Your daddy and I are so proud of you. You work hard in school and try your best. We have started a chore chart that you compete for a commission which you are enjoying and so am I! Always be kind to everyone and keep your eyes on Jesus. Always remember that we love you so much and always will. We can't wait to see what this next year brings. Remember you are kind, you are smart, and you are important!
                                                                   Love,
                                                                       Mama

I really wanted to scan some baby pictures in, but life got in the way. Norman did get three scanned in from a scrapbook page I will share. This summer I hope to organize pictures and hopefully I will be able to share then.

This picture was my first Mother's Day.

So until next time .......Find Joy!

Katherine......KK

More Pictures of Kadence's Visit to MS

These pictures were taken while KK, JC, and Kadence were home. They are in no particular order.

Kadence got her rocking chair from Nana and D for Christmas. Nana and D gave each grand girl a rocking chair their first Christmas. So we brought ours over to Nana's to try and get some pictures.

             Some of the many expressions of Kadence.....

Love this one!

PRECIOUS!

I think I am finally caught up. I don't think there are any more pictures to upload. These last two posts have probably been picture overload, but that is how I roll.  Pictures, pictures, and more pictures. ha ha ha


So until next time...................have JOY!
