Happy 9th Birthday to our K-Doodle!

We are having fun here at the Pappa house celebrating K-Doodles Birthday!
She had a very fun birthday celebration this past weekend which we will tell you about soon.
Until then....Here are nine facts we just love about our K-Doodle!

1.  K-Doodle is such a happy girl!  She wakes up early with a smile everyday.  She is an early bird.
2.  K-Doodle is very artsy.  We call her "Doodle" because she started doodling at age 1 and never stopped!  She draws, doodles and creates....ALL THE TIME!
3.  K-Doodle is the youngest in the family.  The end.  The caboose.  Our "baby".  We just love that about her.
4.  K-Doodle is very compassionate.  She cares about other people and is such a kind girl.
5.  K-Doodle has a ginormous sweet tooth!  (just like her momma)
6.  K-Doodle plays the piano and the recorder and loves to sing.  You can find her singing to herself in the car often.  I especially love to hear this when it is just a K-Doodle and Mom day.  It makes me smile.  Big.
7.  K-Doodle wants an I-Touch really bad.  She is saving every nickel so that she can buy one herself.  Wish her luck!
8.  K-Doodle was born on a snowy day in Illinois.  It was VERY cold.  In the teens that day.  She has warmed our heart ever since.
9.  K-Doodle has the cutest, silliest giggle in our family.  We love to tickle her, just to hear it.

So K-Doodle Bug - Happy Birthday - We love you so much!

A reflection on turning twelve........

We celebrated the birth of C-Sunshine for the twelfth time by going to the local bowling alley, not to bowl, but to play miniature glow in the dark golf with family friends.

 After golfing, the arcade was hit by a boat load of tokens being used to try and win those precious tickets for prize purchase.

 After the games, we had pizza and snacks.

 Then it was off to "The Mix", our favorite ice cream spot,  to create a concoction of yummyness........

C-Sunhine got sorbet!

At home, C-Sunshine had her annual "treasure hunt" for gifts and the traditional cake and ice cream with family.  She opted for a chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  We even found some scrumptious non-dairy cookie-dough ice cream for her!  Maybe being allergic to milk isn't so bad after all!

A Birthday Remembered....

On July 15th, our C-Sunshine obtained the status of "double digits". She turned 11. Eleven years that have just flown by. It seems like yesterday that she was organizing all of her toddler toys by color and size. This was a definite precursor to good things to come and the fact that she is a type A personality living in a type B house. :) (Although we do have some type A tendancies).

C-Sunshine spent her actual birthday having a special lunch at Panera Bread just with Mom, with her family going to see Toy Story 3 at the movies, and returning home to eat a yummy dinner and a birthday cake and ice cream. The following day, she had a "Movie Star" birthday party with a few friends. They made a movie upstairs and then we had the "Premier" when the mom's returned along with an award ceremony. It really was a lot of fun and a day enjoyed by
all.

I am so very proud of my C-Sunshine. She is a sweet, smart, faith filled ray of Sunshine.

K-Doodle Turns Six!

Today our little K-Doodle turned six years old! She had a fun day with the family at home and then went on a surprise trip to Medieval Times in Atlanta. The whole family went, including Nanny and Grandaddy! Both K-Doodle and C-Sunshine really got into the battle of the Knights. We were rooting for the Red Knight, but unfortunately he was defeated in battle. It was fun seeing the Knights after our study of Medieval History last year. K-Doodle's Big sister Amber was here to share in the fun.
