My 5 Year Old!


5 Years ago today I welcomed our first daughter into this world. I am so glad Kaycie is part of our family. She brings so much joy, love and entertainment.

One of her funny moments this year...One night we were reading in The Book of Mormon and Kaycie was pretty bored. However when Scott started to read verse 17 of Alma chapter 52, "And it came to pass that Teancum made preparations to make an attack upon the city of Mulek, and march forth with his army against the Lamanites..." Kaycie's ears perked up and she said excitedly "Huh! March forth! That's my birthday!" I had never noticed that before. She heard her birthday a couple more times in that chapter and was as equally excited every time.

She's been making her own imovies lately and it cracks herself and us up to watch them. Maybe I'll post one sometime.

She has crossed so many small but significant milestones this year! Here's a list of all her big accomplishments this year and her "5 Things"...graduated to showering, learned to put on her own seatbelt without help, first amusement park ride without being scared, riding a school bus, first public performance on a stage, learned to ride a bike, knows how to make some of her own food, learned how to fold laundry, put her face under the water for 10 seconds (this is huge) to which she exclaimed "Now I can get baptized!", there's more which isn't coming to mind right now but you get the point.

5 Things I love about Kaycie

  1. Her fake laugh
  2. Her creativity and stories
  3. Her sweet little voice
  4. Her hugs and kisses
  5. Her testimony of Jesus

I love you Kaycie!
