592.  Five year olds.  Today is Katelyn's 5th birthday.  Five???  Really???  Seems like yesterday she joined our little family! Today she stands at barely 3 feet and 35 pounds, has the best blond curly hair and brown eyes around.  She is our little pint sized, full of life beauty.  And we are so thankful for her.

Some of Katelyn's favorite things at 5: soccer, playing Barbies, Ava, Olivia, Mommy and Daddy, mashed potatoes, rice and shrimp, staying in hotels, swimming, Sleeping Beauty, singing "Call Me Maybe", spending time with family at home, white, picking out clothes to wear (multiple times throughout the day), dancing and singing.

Some of our favorite things about Katelyn:
593.  Her sweet, loving demeanor.  She really is sensitive to how people are feeling around her and wants to always make sure that people feel loved.
594.  Her gorgeous smile and laugh.  She is so witty and comes up with the funniest stuff sometimes.  She keeps us laughing for sure.
595.  Her determination.  She is a determined little thing!  When she gets in her mind that she wants to do something - there's not much that can stop her from trying.
596.  She is our little snuggle bug.  Katelyn loves to fold up in our laps or by our sides on the couch.  Nothing better than snuggle time with our Katie Kate.
597.  Her heart.
598.  Watching her grow.
599.  She often talks about her love for Jesus.  Often times we'll be driving in the car and she'll talk about how beautiful God made the trees and the clouds.

And so today we celebrated.  With a backyard summer party full of pizza, fruit salad, pink cupcakes, a bounce house, a pinata, follow the leader, Simon says and multiple dance parties.  I think she had a great time!  We love you Katelyn Jane!
 Jet and Olivia wanted in on the action too!
