They Keep on Growing!

He climbs on everything, adores his dad, says only "ball" "dada" and "more." He smiles constantly and just had his first birthday 2 weeks ago. We like to call him Jimmer.

She will only wear dresses, tells me how to do her hair, eats mainly carbohydrates, and bullies her brother (and older sister.) BUT - she's quick to say she's sorry, rocks a baby doll like the most seasoned of mothers, has a contagious smile, is constant spunk and energy, and is nurturing when someone is sad or hurt.

Her Primary teacher calls her "Perfect Katie." Derek said, "Not quite," but the teacher replied, "She's as close as you're ever going to get, Buster!" We don't deserve this child, but we are grateful to be blessed with her presence. She can be a bundle of emotions, but she LOVES to follow the rules, has a sensitive personality, gives constant "Sunday School" answers (which is SO cute!) tries to hard to be helpful and be a peacemaker, draws beautifully, and LOVES the Gospel. Almost 5 is a GREAT age for this girl!

The oldest is the life of this family. Things mostly revolve around him - his schedule, his interests, his STRONG desires at any given time. He is becoming very helpful, is a great student, is super creative with his Legos, and is still a very active and strong boy. He outsmarts me often and always keeps me on my toes. I LOVE this kid!
