Cindy's Wedding in SA...Kate had so much fun dancing with all the little girls!
Daddy and Kate
Lydia, Kate, and Zoe at Cindy's beautiful wedding!
We spent our summer in the the pool for sure especially during the month of July! Kate and Foster took swim lessons from Mrs. Brenda and WOW that sweet lady can teach swimming! Kate became a fish and Foster did great too! They both jumped off the diving board. 
Kate is posing in her swim gear!

Sweet Caroline, Emily, and Melissa! We love those precious girls!
This pic above was from a very neat friend of the family, Kimberly. She had a wonderful idea to make a precious video for Nani's "Pre-Chemo Blessing Party"which I will be posting on my blog. Friends were invited, many of which Nani hadn't seen in quite some time. Each guest was asked to bring a blessing for Carolyn. It was a very special gathering for the family! Now, Carolyn only has two chemo treatments left and she is doing great with the exception of being sick after each treatment.
Our sweet Nani!!! We love her!
Ummm....yep, just now posting these pictures from this past Easter which was in March and this is June. That should describe my last few months of this past school year! One word...BUSY! I love this little picture with Fos' tongue!
Sweet and Precious to me!
Friends....Mrs. Conner made them all precious shirts with each child's handprint! I love it!
Obviously I have been or was SUPER BUSY this past spring as I was seeing that 500 Seniors graduated and coordinated the Honors Program for those seniors...whew..lots of fun, but lots of work. So...I am about to catch up on our past three months all at once!!! Our Sweet Mrs. Conner who definitely made her mark on our little Kate!
Last time for "circle time" with Mrs. Conner! She had each child come up and get the small figurine which represented their future career path. Guess what she predicts Kate will become...a Teacher! Imagine that! She sent them home with many great memories and lots of love and songs written on their little hearts. We are so grateful for this past year! We love Dallas Christian. 
We are all dressed in "Blue." We love our Mamaw!
Thankfully, my mom came to help us!
Thank Goodness it was over at this point! This is the Annual Fashion Show at Christian Care Center where Mamaw Capshaw lives. It is pretty special to get to have clothing picked out for us all to wear and walk down the runway with Mamaw. That isn't really my cup of tea as I don't enjoy being the center of attention, but it's a neat thing to do with Mamaw! We arrive an hour before it starts, get dressed, model the clothing, and eat lunch. Last year wasn't so hard since Foster was only a few months old, but this year was a much different experience. 
Kate loves to go look at Uncle Severne's animals when we go to Blanco. She really loves getting to feed them so here she is feeding the goats. 
What is he NOT up to?!?!?! He is my mess-a-roo! If he's not climbing up on the kitchen table and crawling in circles around the center piece, then he is putting something smaller in his mouth, showing me while making a mischevious noise, and then running off so I can chase him down! Oh MY...he is WILD! He is sixteen 1/2 months old and MISCHEVIOUS is his middle name. His only words are "mama," dada," and "ball." I kiss on him CONSTANTLY! I adore him...his has many spankings coming his way! :) 
If she has said it once, she has said it a thousand times...."I just want to be a mommy when I grow up." Here she is posing as a "mommy" and sitting like a "lady." 
I love this precious picture. This is the adorable daughter of my wonderful friend, Amanda! Kate loves loves loves playing with Elise. I love playing with Amanda! :) 
At the age of 4, Kate loves her little brother, Foster! She loves listening to music especially, "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho." She loves singing, loves making cookies, loves eating birthday cake, loves her cousin Zachary, loves her friend Hudson (all we hear about is Hudson, Hudson, Hudson), loves bouncing on her bouncy ball, loves watching "Care Bears" movie, loves playing in her tent with Foster, loves playing outside, loves visiting Pops and Kekie's house, loves ice cream, loves going to her class at church, loves her school, loves her lovie, loves to eat baby food squash and sweet potatoes(at least she still gets veggies) and many other things which I will add as they come to me.
Kate really wanted to have a "Tea Party" this year, but we decided to save it for the fifth birthday. Instead, we took her to "Build-A-Bear" which we aren't sure why it's called that because she chose to "Build-A-Kitty." She knew exactly what she wanted..didn't take her long to choose the clothing either. She named the "Hello Kitty" that she chose "Dora Beth." She loves taking care of her babies and when we got home, she realized that she had a baby "Hello Kitty." She was so enthused about that...now she had a mommy and baby. After we built her kitty, we had dinner at Gloria's where we sang Happy Birthday and had yummy cake. She had lots of sugar that day because when we she woke up that morning, I suprised her with whipped cream topped pancakes. She loves pancakes and that isn't something we have everyday around here so it was a treat for her. She was served on the "You are Special Today" plate. The day ended with us taking her to James Avery. For every birthday, we add a charm to her charm bracelet. I got that idea from one of my very special friends and love doing it. I try to choose a charm that goes with what she is most interested in that particular year. This year, I let her choose it and she chose a microphone. That definitely went with what she is in to right now. She loves, loves, loves to sing! The other night, we had a very fun night singing Karoake together that my parents had gotten us for Christmas. That charm bracelet will one day tell a story. I still have mine that was started while in high school. I love it. Thank you Nani and Poppy for our charm and thank you Kekie and Pops for our cake and adorable new outfit. Happy Fourth Birthday, Kate!
Mommy, Kate, and "Dora Beth."

Kate loves stamps and as you can see, her mouth is blue where she stamped it earlier that day. I tried and tried to get it off, but it wasn't happening.
This past week, Kate's K3 class led chapel at DC. They were precious! Tyler played Daniel and did such a great job..so cute! Kate got to hold the American flag while saying the Pledge of Allegiance. We really enjoyed going to big chapel...such a neat neat school. I think I would rather go without another pair of shoes forever (would probably take a little more than that :)) than Kate not getting to go there. I just love it.
The little Lions GROWLING!
My precious little Lion.
Mrs. Conner and Kate...she is fabulous and we are so grateful for her.
