Katelyn is 9

My little girl turned 9 yesterday!!! These last nine years have flown by and she has made leaps and bounds into the little lady that she has become today!! I am so proud of all her accomplishments. First, Katelyn is in 3rd grade and has gotten perfect attendance!! That is a whole school year without getting sick or missing a day!! I am so proud of her for this!! For perfect attendance at school she gets a certificate for a bike and helmet!! Way to go sis!! Then also, at her school she has received the superintendent award!! The requirements for that were doing work with great attitude and doing what she needed to go on to the next grade!! She was one of the highest ISAT scores also in the 3rd grade!! She is an absolutely amazing kid. On top of her academic achievement, she is in baseball, which is coming to an end but let me tell you she has come a long way!! She is our little catcher and she beings so much fun and excitement to the team!! She is a great hitter and when she connects to ball, look out outfield!! She is an awesome basketball player and she has so many great things ahead of her!! If only she would leave the boys alone. She has had a crush on the same boy for almost 2 years. They are really sweet together and play extremely well together!! Gavin is a Hoot to have to our house!! As everyone has read in past posts we are moving and she has such a great attitude about it!! She listens to everything that is being said about this new adventure and she looks to all the positive about it!! And she keeps reminding me of all the great experiences that we will have!! She has been a blessing to me and life without her wouldn't be as fun or entertaining as she gives to us now!! I am so proud of you Miss Katelyn and I love you so VERY much!!!

A recap of her birthday.... She had a friend birthday at Edwards movie theatre and saw shrek the final chapter. She had about 15 kids and they all seemed to have a good time. She got some neat things from friends and she loved being able to start the movie!!! Then next day we had a family party and received some nice gifts, along with a nintendo dsi XL!!! she loves that thing!! She is a lcky little girl!! Then for her birthday I took treats into her class and got her some flowers and balloons in the class as well!!!
