Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!  

 Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn,

and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.  

You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.  

We are so glad you are a part of our family!

*You love to play outside.

*You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess.

*You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.  

*You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy.

*You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice.

* You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb. 

*You love the computer.

*You love to shop.

*You have one year to be ready for your baptism!

*When you fall asleep, you are out like a light!

*You love your teacher, Ms. Bair.

*You need a bigger bike.

*You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb.

*You draw people really well, and even when you are mad as a hornet, 

you draw pictures of our family, with hearts.

*You know several of the Articles of Faith.

*You are a very good helper, when you want to be.  Brooklyn and Jocelyn adore you.

*You carry Brooklyn around like a little mom.

* You often choose healthy foods over sweets, even though you love a good piece of candy.

*When you are happy, our whole home is.

You weren't always a big girl though.  Shall we look back??

You have been a perky, chipper, loving, and fun 6 year old.  

You have also been emotional, irrational, and unexplainable at times.  

 

As a 5 year old, you nearly drowned, but BJ saved you.  

You wanted a cash register so bad, and 

were pretty happy when you got it!  

You were a fun little Kindergartner and you loved school.  

As a 4 year old, you were busy and social and funny!  

You posed for the camera lot, but frequently shied away as well.  

Now, you always pose and never shy away.

You had lots of little friends, still do, and we had them over for a party.

As a 3 year old, you met our next door neighbors and friends

--The Kearsleys--

and we discovered taht you and Emily share the 

same birthday!   I can't help but look at you and see the 

Larsen side of you in this photo.  

You look like Kevin to me!  And it's evident, that the little curls 

you barely had a babe are long gone.

 As a 2 year old, you were into everything, eager to earn money 

and liked Landon for the most part. 

We loved you little smile and dimples.  

You won everyone over that you met with those big blue eyes too!

 

As a 1 year old and baby, well we just couldn't get enough of you. 

We didnt' own a digital camera until you were a few months old.  

So I have very few baby/newborn photos on the computer of you.  Boo.  

But I do have some that I love!

You were a high strung baby, with a squeal that would turn heads. 

It was so high pitched, and that my dear, 

has not gone away in the 7 years you have been in our home.

Since your birth, Janelle has been sending you cards and gifts.  

I think she really likes you!

We loved your doctor, Timothy West.  He was very good at what he does.

You were a beautiful chubby baby with lots of love to give.

We wecolmed you to our home with love, and still do.  We can't imagine our lives without you.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!

 

Born March 19, 2003 at St. Lukes in Boise, Idaho.  

You arrived at 2:05pm, and weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces.  

You were 19 inches long.

It was that day,we became parents.

And we will always be happy that we made that choice.
