Katie's first library card

Yesterday Katie received her very own library card! To celebrate she had her picture taken with the children's section mascot who was, ironically, dressed as a ladybug to celebrate their summer reading program. Katie-bug had a fun time at the library!

Playing in the garden

Last weekend we were preparing the garden to plant some seeds. Initially, Katie didn't want to get dirty but after she saw how dirty Momma and Daddy were getting 'playing' in the dirt she soon joined in. Katie discovered the joy of Daddy covering her feet up with dirt! After having lunch Katie got a bath since she was covered head to toe in dirt.

Katie's spring dance recital

Katie had her second ballet recital. Although she cried at first, Katie decided to join her friends towards the end of the dance by completing a single Grande Plie then all the girls layed on the floor. We were proud that Katie performed more this time than at her recital in December. The stage for the recitals is larger, louder and brighter than where she normally has class.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day Doug took a picture of Katie and I sitting in the front garden while our tulips were in bloom.

Katie even wore her own pearls (costume), just like Mom that day.

A special picture for many years to come.

MS Walkathon at City Park

Katie, Doug and I participated in the MS Walkathon at Denver City Park. A beautiful day to raise some funds for a good cause. Yay, we finished! (we're standing under the 'SH' of the sign)

'Girls' day with Momma

Katie and I had a special moment when we both washed our hair in the kitchen sink. My Grandmother, when I was a little girl, washed my long hair in the kitchen sink so we're continuing the tradition. Still some of the best memories from my childhood!

Arvada Kite Festival

We had a wonderful spring day at the Arvada Kite Festival where Katie spent time flying her octopus kite, 'puppy' watching and enjoying the warm weather.

Dying Easter Eggs

Here are a couple of pictures of Katie dying her first Easter eggs! We had a lot of fun and she treasured eating each one.
