Bruiser

This is what happens when big sister Katy opens the car door while little sister Maddy is standing in her car seat and hanging her head out the window. She hit the concrete pretty hard.

Little Miss

Katy loves to play dress up with any adult clothes she can find. The dress she is wearing is her grandma Roxanne's (Nanny). Nanny cut up this dress to make it a perfect fit for Little Miss Katy. And of course…she had to pose for some pictures!

Katy's 1st CrossFit Workout

After watching me do CrossFit for so long, Katy really wanted to give it a try. My workout partner Kelly and I designed a very "kid-friendly" workout for Katy to try. The workout was called "Katybug" and consisted of 3 rounds of 10 Pushups, 10 Jumping Jacks, 10 Situps, 10 Box Jumps and 10 Ball Squats. She did great and finished in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. She was so proud of herself!! I was proud of her, too! Of course Madison had to try out a couple of exercises, too. And no worries...Katy will NOT be lifting any type of weight. I will clarify that ahead of time! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

CrossFitters...Katy and Kelly

Nothing like overhead squatting a 5-year old! This is Katy and Kelly...and Kelly can REALLY overhead squat 200 pounds!

February Sticker Chart

Katy earned a sticker for every single day in February!! We are so proud of her! For her reward (per her request), we are having a "Mommy & Katy Day". We are going to have lunch, do a little shopping and get pedicures! Stay tuned for the pictures!

Lil' Cheer Camp

Katy attended the Meridian Lil' Cheer Camp and then cheered during halftime at the Boys Basketball game. She definitely has the loud voice going for her...

Pajama Party

It's a Pajama Party! At school! Naturally she HAD to wear her all-time favorite jammies which she wears almost every night. Tinkerbell. And her outfit couldn't be complete without her pink, fuzzy slippers and piggytails.

Maddy-Bear

Just looking at these couple of pictures reminds me of how onry Maddy really is! I took these pictures in February to document her "curly" hair turning into "straight" hair. She was so sad when she looked into the mirror and didn't see her curls. One morning...very sad-faced...she begged me to make her hair curly again. I am happy to report that the curls have returned! Maybe it was just a few bad hair days??

KLH

I posted a few different pictures of Katy. The first picture was taken right before she attended "dance camp" at Meridian High School. She got to perform with the Meridian Dance Team during half-time of a basketball game. The second picture is Katy with her completed January sticker chart. She earns a sticker every night for good behavior. I really enjoy making these charts for the girls...and they both love to see what I come up with every month! The third picture is Katy and her cousin Marissa lounging on the couch. The last picture is of me and the girls...hanging out and watching the movie "Annie".

A Birthday "Tea" Party

On January 30, 2010 the girls attended a friend's birthday "tea" party. They enjoyed getting dressed up in dresses and hats, wearing a little bit of makeup and had loads of fun playing games with 30 other little girls.

Build A Bear

On January 2, 2010 we took the girls to the Build A Bear Workshop in Springfield. Talk about spending some cash!! Wow!! Why weren't there shops like these when I was a kid! It was our first time to the Build A Bear Workshop and the girls thoroughly enjoyed picking out their own bear, stuffing it, cleaning it and picking out an outfit for their bear to wear. It only took Katy 40 minutes to decide which outfit would best "suit" her bear. I can only imagine what life will be like when she is 10 and picking out her own clothes!
