Cavan and KaeLynn Birthdays

This year we celebrated KaeLynn's Birthday early because her birthday is so close to the baby's due date. We celebrated Cavan's Birthday late because me moved on his birthday. And her cousin Celeste's birthday was on Sunday so we decided to combine them all together. It was a lot less stressful that way and KaeLynn did not seem to notice any different. We had a pretty good size pool in the back yard with a little water side that the kids had a blast in it! It was perfect for all the adults because we got to relax in the back yard and eat while they all played. Then Michelle made these really good ice cream cake rolls for the birthday cake. KaeLynn had so much fun with her cousins and friends. I can't believe she is turning 3 years old in a few weeks. She is such a sweet girl with such an outgoing personality. She sings all the time and actually knows the words to the songs. She will belch it out loud and clear when she feels like it no matter where we are. In Sacrament meeting it is the hardest. I feel bad for telling her to be quite because she really is so adorable and she is not being bad. But it is quite distracting for others sitting around us. She is a very smart girl and I plan on putting her in preschool probably in January. She loves animals real and stuffed along with baby dolls and nurtures them with so much love. She is going to be a great big sister. She is also the mother when around her friends. Always telling the kids when they are misbehaving or telling them how to act. It is very funny to watch. She is still a snuggle girl and loves her blankie. She has adapted to a smaller version of blankie which is very helpful. We are also trying potty training again. We are making progress, but it still is such a battle. She loves her family so much and ask daily to see her cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I love this girl so much and I am so thankful that I have the privilege to her mother.
