15 Years

First, I have not written on this blog in almost 3 years...wow.  So sorry.  With the use of Facebook and Instagram I don't think many people use blogs these days...but maybe I am wrong.
Second, today is Steven and my 15 year Wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been 15 years.  It almost seems like yesterday that we were walking down the aisle but yet so much has happened in this time.  I am so thankful to have a faithful and loving husband.  We are blessed with three beautiful children and we still enjoying spending time together.
Finally, maybe I should update the world on our life. What do you think?  I will try...but I don't have a lot of time. I will see what I can do.
Love,
Katrina

Peyton Update

As I mentioned in my last post a LOT has happened since I stopped blogging last year.  One important thing to note is that Peyton continues to grow into a lovely little girl.  She is now 4 years old and is full of energy and creativity.  She just started Pre-K this week and is doing great.  She loves to color, play with her stuffed animals, and make up stories with her princess toys.  She also loves all things princess as you can see from her beautiful dress.  I will continue to post images from her daily activities (I now have a blogger app on my phone).  Enjoy the photos from her first day of school. 

I love this headband - it is perfect for our little Peyton. 

Preston and Peyton love each other so much!

Back to School for Preston

It has been over a year since I blogged - bummer and I am so sorry.  I thought I would kick things back up with some back to school blogging and an update on ALL that has been going on in our family.  A lot has happened since my last post.  Let us start here with some pictures of Preston on his FIRST day of FIRST grade!  Crazy. 

 our easel broke last year...so we just made our own sign this morning. I really miss the easel.  Oh yes, notice how TALL Preston is.  I think he is the tallest student in First grade - no joke. 

 He is SO proud to be in First grade. I know he is going to have a great year learning! 

He has had this backpack since his first year in Preschool.  This will be year four and it is showing its wear.  I know he will be excited to have a new backpack next year... but just one more year with this backpack would be nice!

 He is so nice to take a picture with mom.  I think he knows that this will not always be the case. 

I hope this 'back to blogging' will continue.  Maybe I will share some thoughts on life and social issues...who knows. 

Birthday Party

Wow, I have not posted in so long….can't even begin to explain why.  I don't even know why.  Well, here is a post with a few pictures from my niece's Birthday party over the summer.   The kids went to a Gymboree and had SO much fun.  Enjoy!!  

Photos for Mom

From time to time I bribe my children to take photos for me.  This is one of those times.  Every year I wait until my neighbors bushes are blooming with lovely white flowers and then I run outside with my kids and my camera to document the moment.  This year the shoot went ok.  Our neighbor, Mr. Joe, wasn't home at the time and he is always a big help in getting my children to smile.  Anyway, here are some photos just for mom.  Here are those lovely white flowers!!  

Preston did very well

 Little Peyton the princess 

These 2 are some cute and crazy kids.  I love them.  

 I let Preston take my picture this year - not bad!!
