Lilly Katherine’s 5th birthday was August 26th, and we had a family party for her, but she wanted a Build-A-Bear party with her friends. I’ve been promising for MONTHS that we would do it. Last week she asked, “Mama, do you think we’ll have my birthday party before April?” Even though I knew she had […]

A Day to Remember
The date May 7th will always hold a special place in my heart. May 7th, 2008 was an extremely sad day for my family, but it ended with rejoicing. 3 years ago today, my precious cousin, Joel Lee, passed away from heart complications. He was a "normal" kid physically. You would have never known he had received a heart transplant at age 7. He fished, ran, played basketball, … [Read more...] about A Day to Remember

My friends Meredith and … [Read more...] about Tea Parties and Baseball Games

Saturday night at about 10:30, in typical Kate fashion, I was trying to figure out what my kids were going to wear for Easter. I decided they hadn't grown too much since last year, and their outfits from Easter 2010 would work just fine. :) The dress AnnaLeigh wore was a dress I made for Lilly Katherine's second Easter. The dress LK wore was a sweet Strasburg dress that … [Read more...] about Easter Weekend…Wrap Up :)
Easter Pot Luck
Last weekend (the weekend before Easter) we had a huge pot luck and Easter Egg hunt at our church. I love to eat, so what's not to love about an endless table of food? Good times had by all...except AnnaLeigh. There was a clown there, "Stringbini" (string beany), and he scared my little Pinky to death (and she still talks about him every single day). She clung to my mom, … [Read more...] about Easter Pot Luck
