Fun day yesterday!

Yesterday was such a busy and fun day! It started off with Aunt Nenny's baby shower! It was at our house and she had lots of friends come over to wish her and Anna well! I took a nap during present opening time, but boy oh boy did Anna get some great loot! I can't wait for my baby cousin to come!

Last night we also went to Michael Wests 60th Bday party. He is my best friend Sydney's Papa as I got to see her. It was so much fun! We played and hugged...she even tried to give me a little bite ( I thought she was kissing me though...see below picture)!

Sydney came over to my house today to say "hi" and we played for a few minutes. I can't wait for us to have one long play date!!
Love,

Great Grama and Papa's 65th wedding anniversary - wow!

Last weekend we went to Parsons, Kansas to the 65th wedding anniversary of Papa Horton's mom and dad (my Great Grama and Papa). It was really fun to see the HUGE family and to eat cake and treats!! I had lots of fun seeing everyone!

Shop!

I love to shop and am such a good girl in stores. When mommy puts on my shoes I ask "shop?" because I hope that is where we are going. When we get into the car I say "shop?" because I love to shop! Especially when mommy and daddy buy me something!
Love,

Papa...

I love to blame Papa for everything. Especially when a door is left open - I say "uh oh door Papa" and when the gate is not put in front of the stairs I say "uh oh gate Papa" or when shoes are left on the floor I say "uh oh shoes Papa". Papa does not mind, after all it is usually Papa who did it! I even blamed Papa for leaving a door opened at Wal-Mart and he wasn't even there! haha!!
Love,

Just about 17 months old!

I will be 17 months old in a few day and I thought I would give you an update on some of the new stuff I am doing...

• I love the song :Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys and sing it all the time "Bop bop bop, bop bop bop". I make everyone sing it with me and especially love it when we get to go to youtube.com and watch and listen to the song and see the Beach Boys sing! It is such a catchy tune!
• I also love the song "sha na na na, sha na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye"! I love to sing it!
• I can say "I love you" thanks to the Barney song "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family"! I learn so much from my big purple dinosaur! He is really cool and still my favorite TV show! I bring the "memote" (remote) to mom and dad and ask them to put on "Barney" and they usually do!
• My mom seems to say the same things all the time like "in a minute" and "almost", so I imitate her and say those things before she even gets a chance. "bathy almost?" or "in a minute paci?" are some of the ways I use moms sayings!
• I love to make crazy facial expressions to show people how I am feeling!
• When asked what a sad face looks like I pretend like I am crying, when asked about a happy face I get a huge smile, and I frown and furrow my eyebrows when you ask me to show you a mad face! I learned all this from Barney too! From the "every body's got feelings" episode!! heehee!
• I am also really big right now at asking everyone to "walk" while I take their hand and lead them to where I want to go...often the pantry from some snacks, the living room to read books or the computer to see pictures!
• I also am getting really good at combining multiple words like: "floor sit", "hi daddy"
• I can say Grama (not just mama) and saying "Aunt Nenny" (the Aunt part is new)
• I usually call momma "Mommy" now as I am a big girl!

Mommy and Daddy say I am doing all sorts of new things everyday! They think it is amazing how fast I am growing!

Love,

Kate

Old Time Photo

Here is the picture we took at the lake last weekend! It was so much fun to get all dressed up and get to put on lots and lots of pretty beads! I can't wait until we go to the lake again and get to get dressed up! Hopefully we will be able to convince Daddy to do it again!
Love,
Kate
