Katie's Birthday

Katie is 12 today. It's hard to believe she is my baby. My kids are definitely growing up quickly. It seems like just yesterday when I was sitting in church and then Sonny's at lunch having contractions and putting off going to the hospital. I had always heard you should wait at home as long as you can, so that is what I was doing!! Much to Mike and Janet and Phillip's undoing. They kept trying to rush me out the door as soon as possible. By 10 that night she was born and all was well. I thought I'd post 12 things about Katie in honor of her birthday. (The picture above is us celebrating her birthday while on spring break.)

12 Things About Katie

1 - I think she will end up outgrowing us all. At 12 she is 5' 8" and wears a size 10 shoe. It is nice being able to share shoes:)

2 - Katie has always been our athlete. She has played softball for many years and is currently playing basketball. We're hoping she will one day get a scholarship!!

3 - Katie loves ice cream. That is her favortie dessert. No matter how full she is, she can always make room for ice cream. Her favorite is cookies and cream.

4 - Katie has always had a unique personality. She sometimes marches to a different drummer than the rest of us.

5 - Katie is a momma's girl. She loves to be with her mom, esp. when it's bedtime.

8 - Katie likes to go, go, go. She gets that from her daddy.
