Thank You, Aunt Debbie!

Last Friday and Monday Katlyn's Great Aunt Debbie took care of her while we were at work! Lu Lu and Pop had gone to Florida for the weekend to celebrate some good friends of ours, The Halderman's, 50th Anniversary. Mom knew this was going to take place way before Katlyn was even born and had arranged for Aunt Debbie to come and take care of Katlyn! We don't just leave her with anyone, so you can see how much we love Aunt Debbie! It was so nice to be able to go to work and know that she was home being spoiled just like when her Lu Lu has her! I think they both had a great time and we are so thankful we have such great people to help spoil our Munchkin! Thanks again and again, Debbie! We love you!

Here is Aunt Debbie and Katlyn! I think this is a sweet picture!

Looks like Katlyn had a great time!

Happy 1st Birthday, Miles!

Today we went to Katlyn's first kiddie birthday party! It was for Miles' 1st birthday and we had a great time! Here are some photos from the party!

Mommy, Katlyn, Miles, and Lauren...getting all four to look at the camera at the right time was nearly impossible!

Big Sister, Lily, checking out the big yummy cake!

Katlyn and the TV

Katlyn enjoys watching TV...A LOT!!! She turns her head towards the tv whenever it is on to see what is happening in the world. Her favorite channel seems to be Fox News Channel. Maybe because of the words all over the screen or people like Beck screaming! In this picture she is watching Hannity discuss health care reform. Interesting.....?

Katlyn on her horse

Here is a picture of Katlyn on her new horse that her daddy made. She cannot quite rock yet, but will be able to soon! This horse also converts to a desk and into a high chair as you can see in the pictures. I have made three of these horses. Lulu has one and Larue (Tracy's aunt) has one. I know Larue's has been used! Lulu's and this one still have to be put to the test! The horse takes about 12 cumulative hours to make, with the longest part being application of the laquer (sanding and reapplication). The actual construction of the wood only takes about 3.5 hours.
Katlyn seems to love it!
