Birthday girl

Today we had so much fun celebrating Kate's birthday.  She is such a fun, spunky little thing and we wouldn't have it any other way. 

• Her favorite color is blue.
• Kate does not like to watch cartoons, but much prefers movies.  Her favorites right now are the KidSong Kids ones or Mickey Mouse Summer Fun. 
• She has a very good imagination and likes to pull others into her world. 
• Her favorite foods right now would be waffles (blueberry), candy, carrots w/ peanut butter, pizza, hot dogs and fruit snacks.
• She loves going to Sunday School and KidShine at church.
• Her favorite song to sing is "Into my Heart" and "This Little Light of Mine".
• Kate loves using glue, painting and playing play dough...notice a messy theme!?!
• Her favorite game is Minnie Mouse Matching.
• She would much prefer to be playing outside either riding her big bike or playing with the kitties.
• She does not nap anymore and if she does she will be a wild child and not be able to fall asleep very early. :)

On Friday night we went out for supper for her birthday and let her choose the place.  She choose Smokey Row so she could get a hot dog. :)  She thought it was great and was very excited all day!
She had a Minnie Mouse party and we had a hot-digity-dog fun time! :)

Bethan - 8, Jaren - 10, Kate - 3, Erica - 6

Opening presents was so fun!

Everyone had fun hitting the piñata and then the chaos broke out when candy was everywhere!

 

And just for fun...our sweet little girl when she was just 2 days old. :)

Harvest time

Harvest is well under way over here.  This is definitely Kurtis' favorite time of the year even though he puts in many, many hours.  I am thankful for the few rainy days that we have every now and then so we get to spend some time in the evenings with him.

Kurtis spent some time polishing up the tractors so they were nice and shiny for harvest.

 Combining the small field in front of our house.  I do miss the natural fence we had going, but it's also nice to see what goes on beyond our yard.

I thought the sky was so beautiful the other night!
