Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream for our Strawberry Princess
(Kirby was so excited to attend the game, as we went through the turn-style, she said, "This is incredible!!!)

Obviously, the only way we can celebrate the birthday of LSU's #1 fan is to attend an LSU game!

Happy Birthday, Jason! We love you!

January 6, 2009, LSU vs. Utah @ Utah. We tucked our two littlest beans into bed and with the help of our awesome neighbor, (Thanks, Jae!!!) we ventured off into the night with our biggest LSU cheerleaders. It was so fun. We brought all of our gear, and had a blast. As we were leaving, people said, "Well you guys sure look cute, even though your team lost!" It was a memory, that's for sure :)!

Final Score:

LSU 61 - Utah 91

Geaux Tigers!!!

(We are not bandwagoners!!!)

Happy 6th Birthday, Kirby!!!

Kirby received a birthday hat from Miss Giesa. The class sang to her, and she got to be the line leader, and pass out Tootsie Pops as a birthday treat!

On Kirby's Birthday day, she was testing for ALPS, so she dressed up fancy and wore her birthday hat the entire day. The ALPS testing group sang to her. She was very proud. After the test, I took her to McDonald's for a happy meal and a cone. We also played in the play land. It was a special day for just us!

We later took the entire family to see A Tale of Desperaux at the movie theater. Of course there was popcorn and pop. We got ice cream and came home and made pizza and had cake. It was a special day that we will always remember as a family.

The following week, Kirby and I went shopping with her birthday money. We shopped 'till we dropped, literally. She wore me out!!! 5 hours, 40 outfits, an ice cream trip, and and a Toys R Us run later, we were home. It was a fun date together with just the two of us. I love you, Kirby, Happy 6th Birthday!

Love,

Mom

Happy 6th Birthday, Big Girl!!!

My sweet Kirby Bug is 6 years old today! That is incredible! What a sweetheart. She wanted a "Curious George" Birthday.

Hope you love it in the morning, angel. Have a very Happy Birthday!

Love,
Mommy

A Parenting Milestone...

Christmas of 2008 will forever hold a special place in my heart for this scene seen here. It makes me realize that through all of the tribulation, trials, effort, ups, downs, etc., my sweet children, if but for a small moment, understand where importance lies.

Reflect on "Reflections"

Kirby's Reflection Art Project that won entitled "Wow...I Like Puppy Dogs!"
Medium: Oil Pastels

She walked in our house holding her TWO ribbons and said, "Mom I just feel so proud."

Kirby's Literature that won entitled, "Wow...The Two Little Kittens Got Lost."

We saw this winning literature first, and later saw that her art work had won as well!

Kirby, we are so very proud of you. You are doing great things. Keep working hard, know that Mommy and Daddy are so happy to have you in our lives! Wow...We love you! :)

Kirby entered the PTA Reflections program at school. (This year's theme: "Wow...".) I had never heard of it, so I had no idea that it was a competition. When we went to turn in her project the PTA mom said to me, "Just so you know, this is a competition, and the chances of winning are slim-to-none, as they only pick five kids from each grade level."

Well, Kirby made it look easy by winning in both of the categories that she entered!

Way to go, Kirbs!

She brought home a notice in her backpack that she was a winner. I was excited to know which category she'd won in. Turns out it was both! We saw the literature right as we walked into the display room. Jason kept walking with the little kids and hollered at me, "Jamie, her art work is over there, too." I could not believe it! It is extremely difficult to win at all much less twice in one year! Kudos to Kirbs!

Two other children from our ward won: Hannah Dobbins, and Lexi Lambert. Also, a good family friend, Kelsey Workman was an actual medal winner! Way to go, guys!
