Happy Birthday Kathrine

We decided to dedicate the next couple of posts to our beautiful, never boring Kathrine for her third birthday. Wow how life goes by so far. We were so excited when we first found out that we were going to have a child. Mark found out on his birthday which was the best present ever. We wanted to make the first one a surprise and it was so much fun just waiting and wondering boy or girl. March 16, 2006 Kathrine Helene Weeks was born at 9:14 am at 7.14 lbs and all cuteness. We were so happy to be blessed with Kathrine and she has brought us soo much joy. Enjoy the next posts.

Hello little one

Daddy was the first to hold Kathrine, he deserved it. It was sweet watching them look into each others eyes and say nothing at all. Priceless.

Daddy's Girl

Dad was soo happy to get his little girl. The spirit was so strong when she came into this world, all we could do was just look at her and smile. We watch every first move and she watched our every move. She did this funny thing with her mouth where she would make a funny popping sound as she would breath while sleeping. We loved to watch her sleep so calm and peaceful. We will never forget her special day of birth.

Sweet little Kathrine

Our little angel, so cute.

Papa, Nana, Patrick and Paige at the hospital

Papa, Nana, Patrick and Paige couldn't get enough of Kathrine.

Little Kathrine comes home

Look how tinny she was, just barely fitting in her car seat. We couldn't believe that she was ours. It was hard getting used to a new born baby, but we picked it up fast. The long nights were all worth it. Actually, Kathrine slept through the night quit quickly. We found out that we had to play with her and wear her out.

So many faces

These are daddy's favorite. Daddy grabbed the camera and just clicked away. She was making the best faces and it was so much fun taking her picture. Which one is your favorite?

Treasured pictures with Kathrine

We took so many pictures of Kathrine, well we still do. She is too cute not to. These two are some of our favorites. She liked to sleep with her arms up close to her face. Daddy loved to hold her in his arms while she slept. The bottom picture is great with Kathrine giving her first shout out to her Mommy and Daddy.

Kathrine's first Easter

Our little Kathrine had a special first Easter posing with mom and dad, posing in a chair and best of all in an easter basket. We are crazy and love to pose her in all the cute ways.

Bath time

Kathrine loved and still loves to take baths. We always had fun in the bath especially when you break out the bubbles.

Mommy's little angel

Another favorite picture of ours. Kathrine loved to be wrapped tight to sleep. She is so cute.

Fun times with Kathrine

Here was one of Kathrine's first adventure. We took the Max train to the Rose Garden for a dance festival, and boy was that a hot day. Kathrine loved being outside and had so much fun with Papa and Nana on the train. She was such a good baby, and we took her everywhere as you will see by all the pictures.
Words cannot discribe this picture. Just throw your head back and laugh.

Kathrine was being adventurous here and climbed into the diaber box. Then once the camera was she gave us a big grin.

Some random great shots of our cute Kathrine. Which on is you favorite?

Kathrine always brings us so much joy and happiness.

Good times with Kathrine

These was Kathrine first trip to the famous Tillamook Cheese factory. It's an on going joke that we have to stop by the factory no matter which beach you are at.

Kathrine's first of many camping pictures. We decided to start her young and she loves to go camping now. Auntie Paige was cleaver and rigged up some toys for her to play with in her pack and play and the camping chair. She was good sport and let us change her diaber outside and then fell asleep in the back of the car while we took down camp. It was also her first time a daddy's favorite spot the punch bowls. Daddy and Paige jumped in but nobody else. It was a success and we haven't stopped camping since.

One of daddy's favorite picture while camping at the punch bowls.

Kathrine learning how to stand on her own. Kids grow up too fast and some times you forget about the small things like standing for the first time. We are glad that we took these pictures.

More fun with Kathrine

The pictures are not in order, but who cares. These were taken the day we moved in to our new house. Kathrine was excited to have a nice shaddy back yard, she loves playing outside. She also loved the bigger house compared to our old apartment.
Kathrine's first experience with snow and she sure loved it. Just like other times with new experiences we had to drag her back inside kicking and screaming. Kids just don't get cold.

The first time Kathrine sat up by herself was on the 4th of July.

First time in the swimming pool, and she swam like a fish. The cold water didn't even bother her. This was a lot fun and we were happy that she liked the water because we both like to swim.

Birthday Party for the Three Amigos

All cousins got together to celebrate Kathrine's, Chase's, and Elie's birthdays. All the kids scarfed down the cake, opened presents and Kathrine jammed out on the guitar. Fun family Fun.
Pinatas are always a big hit and luckily no kid got hit.

Day at the Beach

This was Kathrine's first day at the beach and man she loved it. Up top was our campsite and she ran of to explore. She came upon Patrick's car and climbed inside and then wanted to stick her head out of the sunroof. She is crazy.

Once she got the beach there was no holding her back. The water was cold and of course it was raining but Kathrine went straight for water. She got all sandy and wet, daddy loves sandy kids. Then she got the famous shower at the beach to clean her up, of course you never get all the sand out. Kathrine still loves to go to the beach and play in sand.

Classic.

Priceless!!

Too much fun.

Kathrine growing up so fast

These are some of our favorites. Kathrine just wanted to help rack the leaves and she did a great job. Kathrine doesn't mind the cold, the wet, or anything, she just loves having fun.
Kathrine's first and second Halloween. Her first Halloween was soo cute watching her catch on to the whole idea of getting candy and each house. It was sad when we had to finally take her home. but daddy, more candy please. Needless to say we didn't let her have all the candy, that is what parents are for, to eat all the left over candy.
Our little princess. This is the dress she wore for Aunt Aubrey and Uncle Tyler's wedding.

These were taken at a pumpkin patch in St. Helen's when the whole family got together for Addison's blessing. We had so much fun counting the pumpkins and spending time with family. Kathrine loves all her aunts and uncles and especially Papa Y and Mema and Papa and Nana.

What are you girls doing?

Kathrine and Addison just looking out the window, maybe at a squirrel, or a cat, or a cute boy walking by.

Kathrine, why are you so cute?

This is when Kathrine first started using the potty, as you can see, she was very excited to learn to use the potty. Now when daddy comes homes, she tells him still that she went potty in the potty.
Crazy faces while waiting for dance class, we think we got all her emotions.
Our little dancer. Kathrine is loving her dance class, she has had two classes now and is ready to start her tap/ballet class next month.

Heel, toe, heel toe. Good job Kathrine.

Kathrine started a tumbling class this year. It took awhile for her to get into it, but latter she really loved it. We will see if we will sign her up for another one or just stick with tumbling.

Her first dance class finished, daddy was able to see her last class and she her perform. It was really special to see our little Kathrine all grown up. Addison is following fast in her footsteps.

Kathrine's first haircut. We forgot how long it was. This is when she started looking so grown up. It's bitter sweet.

Hey, your shoes match your shirt. We loved this outfit and we can't wait until Addison can wear it.

Uncle Patrick and Aunt Paige has a corn snake and we thought that Kathrine wouldn't like him, but we were wrong, she loves it. She holds it and pets it and watches it eat. She is daring and crazy.

The good ol times out swimming in the backyard. It is nice having a backyard to play in.

All the crazy times we have in the bath tub. Bath time is so much fun at the Weeks home.

Some of our many trips to the zoo. Kathrine is an animal lover, it doesn't matter what kind. She loves the chickens, the birds, the monkeys, but sometimes the big black bear scares her.

"It scares me mommy"

Yea we know, she is crazy. Getting dressed for bed after bath time can be hard. We have to remember to just relax and have fun with our girls. Kids will be kids. There is something about not having clothes on that makes persons crazy.

Kathrine's first birthday and she is really catching on to the idea of getting presents, wit already one birthday and two Christmases. For her second birthday she got TMX Elmo and she had lots of fun with him, Addison did not. She was terrified of him. She also got lots of princess stuff. It was so much fun watching her open all her presents, she has the best reactions.

One evening we decided to make some yummy red potatoes and Kathrine jumped right in to help add the seasoning and shake the potatoes. She gets excited at the simple things. Uncle Patrick had fun helping her.

One night after unloading all the groceries we found Kathrine stacking the cans and the boxes of cereal. She had so much fun and she thought that she was the coolest kid. Well of course she is the coolest.

Mommy and her princess Kathrine.
