Compromise

Kaitlyn Elise was making me a nervous wreck rolling blading all over the house. So naturally I told her, "KK, if you're gonna roller blade in the house at least put on your helmet so I don't have to take you to the ER." Compromise. The beauty of happy parenting.


Hugs, Angel :-)

Kaitlyn's 1st time diving!

To understand the significance of this video you must understand something... my sweet Kaitlyn is terrified... well, of a lot of things. It's funny really. She'll jump on an insane roller coaster without a second thought and then scream bloody murder walking down a long flight of stairs. Curious little critter- our KK. Water makes her a nervous wreck. Anything that is high up makes her triple nervous. So a DIVING BOARD.... that's a big deal. As you can imagine I am one very proud momma! OH! And- special thanks to Mollie and Justin who are the kind of friends that will sit in a pool cheering for your scared daughter for 10 minutes straight while she works up the courage to actually try a dive. THAT'S a great friend. :-) I had to video tape the 3rd dive. The first 2 took WAY LONGER to accomplish.

7 Years Ago Today My Favorite Little Diva Arrived!!

My precious Kaitlyn. She's 7!!!!!

I can't believe it! The years are flying by me so fast. I am CRAZY grateful that God gave me this little diva girl. She is compassionate, cuddly, killer smart, crazy funny, cute as a button... not to mention highly entertaining. It's hard to be with Kaitlyn Elise and not be charmed! Whether or not she is ever on stage she will always be a star. I adore you my little KK. I thank God for giving you to me 7 years ago today. The day you entered my life is the day I became "Mommy" instead of just plain old Angel... what a blessing you are every single day.

This is one of my favorite videos of our KK... cause it's just SOOOOO her. It makes me smile EVERY TIME I see it. :o)

Happy Birthday Baby!

I treasure the days with you knowing how fast they will go.

Love always, Mommy

Take A Bow!

This is 6 year old Kaitlyn's dramatic interpretation of "Take A Bow." Just love watching this girl sing it. She is awesome.

Toothless!

A few weeks ago Kaitlyn lost her FIRST TOOTH!!!!

Even cuter... her BFF Madeline lost her first tooth the SAME WEEK!

It doesn't get ANY more adorable.

I can't believe they are old enough to lose teeth now.

I'm not gonna lie.... I almost cried. So proud of our big girls who are growing so fast.

Being toothless is the best!

Diva ya think?

BFF Birthday Celebration!

My sweet little baby is just NOT so little anymore!!!!!!!!! She turned 6 years old on June 7th and I can hardly wrap my mind around it. Kaitlyn and her BFF have birthdays only one day apart and it's a tradition to have some birthday fun together!

Kaitlyn and her best buddy Madeline....

are EXTREMELY refined young ladies..

but even the MOST refined young ladies need a break once in awhile!

Thanks for the adorable pictures Nonny! Those are two fabulous little ladies. :0) Angel

Kaitlyn's Bedtime Prayer

Jesus, Please keep Belle safe. Please keep Ariel safe. Jesus please keep my Barbie safe. Jesus, thank you for Zoe. Keep Guatemala safe that it won't rain so much- just a little bit. In Jesus Name, Amen.

That girl understands a lot more than we give her credit for. She is 3 years old one minute and 30 the next minute. I almost started crying. Angel
