Happy "LATE LATE" Birthday Katelynne

This past year I had alot of fun going through old pictures and blogging them on everyone's birthday..........sad to say when you have birthdays around the holiday, they just get rushed through! Sorry Katelynne for taking so long to blog your birthday pictures..........I had sooooo much fun remembering your years growing up...........you will ALWAYS be my baby girl!!
You always have had a beautiful smile!

Mommy & Me!

Daddy & Me!

One of my sisters..........and me!

This was your baby dedication dress & hat made by Nora Lee (of course I still have it)!

Always...........two peas in a pod!

Luv the smile!

You loved "Coco"

Birthday #1! You remind me of Emily in this picture..........of course Ashlie was singing her heart out...........she loved your birthdays too! Lots more toys for her to play with. You got the winter toys and she got the summer toys...........perfect fit!

Family affair! Brian was finishing the decals on the horse, Sarah busy fixing you doll.........not sure what Matt was doing.

I remember this picture as if it were yesterday..........you've always had a thing about putting things up your nose!! We even made a couple of Emergency Room runs because of it!! You kept putting this Christmas light up your nose and your nose would glow red! Of course it didn't help that you had so many older brothers and sisters that thought it was quite funny!

Birthday #4

Oh...........this so reminds me of Claire!

One of the few pictures you have with Grandpa Johnson! He always loved having the grandkids around!

We always called you Kat-i-did........our little Kat-i-did!

The last time Grandma Johnson babysit you............you had a tea party and she let you keep the tea set...........you loved it! I still have it for you.

Oh, you LOVED you baby dolls!!! Sarah bought you and Ashlie one this year for Christmas! I think this one was always your favorite!

Ahhhhh!

Perms were never your thing! We tried everything to make you happy.......Sarah kept you busy while I rolled the curlers.

Always a cheerleader.............never enough waist to hold anything up so your skirt is rolled to keep it up................funny thing..........did you roll your cheer skirt in high school?

Always flowers from daddy on your birthday!

Katelynne you had the best imagination.............here your talking on the phone, using just the cord ..........who knows where the receiver is!!

Always, always playing house................

or teaching school.............didn't matter who the student was.

Love, love the drawing!

Another tea party........as you can tell you always had playmates!! The best kind, they would do whatever you told them to do! Notice the 3 tier bunk bed!! Remember when?

Always something to do............outside, then it's time to cook!

If I remember right you were watching Winnie the Pooh, and it was raining in the story.............like I said, great imagination!

Tea time! Notice the vacuum cleaner.............your quite the little mom!

School Pictures!

I was put on bed rest (I was pregnant with Cody) this was the day of your party so your big sister Sarah came home and gave you your party .

For your 12th birthday all you wanted was a dog...........so Abbey came into our lives.

Best friends and a litter of pups! Luv that BLUE room!

Your quickly growing up..........one of my favorite pictures!

Best friends since kindergarten.................you both have something very special

That senior year was oh, so fun!

Forever friends!

Always having fun............no, they didn't know the driver.........just being goofy!

You will always be my little Katie...........you were my surprise, but what a blessing you've been! I remember long walks while I was pregnant with you talking to you, knowing you were special!

You've grown into a beautiful woman inside and out.........Happy 20th Birthday (very late)........I'm so glad you moved back home for a while..........I love being on this next journey with you! You are a blessing to me!
Luv u, Baby Girl!
Mom
P.S. Watch for Matt & Jaime's Anniversary blog.........hard when they celebrate Anniversary's and Birthday's on the same day!

Great pics. I always have loved that first one or Kate. It was so weird to see Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's front door. I'd recognize that anywhere but I haven't seen it in years. Happy late Bday Kate. We love you.

I can't believe how many 'relatives' I can see throughout Kate's childhood photos. There's one photo of Kate with on a rocking horse that looks so much like Keagan at a year. Kate, it is just evidence to me how much influence you have in All of our lives. You are a rich blessing to us all and I have enjoyed watching you grow up since birth. Happy birthday! I love you so much!
