no way can i have a girl who is turning 14 years old. or, "WAY."
hb to my little katie bird who was my first born beautiful little indian baby. she had a head full of dark, curly hair and the prettiest olive skin. i was a young, vain mother who was worried about birthing an 'ugly child', so i can't believe that someone upstairs didn't teach me a lesson by sending me an unfortunate looking baby. instead, i hit the jackpot and was totally in love.
being first child,kaitlyn has been the guinea pig, which i want to apologize to her publicly for. katie, we haven't been perfect parents, but you know how much your dad and i love you, and we hope that fact will make up for all the different ways we've scarred you over the years.
katie is such a sweet, compassionate, good girl with a great head on her shoulders. she has a little bit of her mother's obsessiveness about things periodically going on. over her years she has been obsessed with all things: titanic, moulin rouge, phantom of the opera, twilight, maximum ride, prison break, and someone with the initials b.s.
kaitlyn gets as brown as a bear in the summer--one of my favorite stories is when she was about 6 years old, her little friend kennedy was talking to her mom about what they'd learned about martin luther king, jr, and the civil rights movement. kennedy said to her mother (kristin), "mom, i'm so glad that we live in this time and not back then, because i wouldn't have been able to sit next to katie on the bus."
katie, i love you so much! i am so glad that you were sent to our family! you make us proud of all the great things you accomplish. i'm sorry that you have a mother who likes to embarrass you while you roll your eyes and say, "mom! you are such a dork!" hb sweetie.
we celebrated katie's birthday with a dinner last night--here she is with her wanksta uncle neal:
aunt megan made you the cutest ginormous cupcake cake:
lots of love from your "peeps":

Yeah! Happy Birthday Katie! Do you realize that Mitch and Katie are only 1-2 years away from how old we were when we became friends? Make you really excited for them doesn't it! I wonder if huge white GUESS bags will come back in style...HAHA! Happy day... Man that makes you OLD having such an OLD daughter. I am glad I was a 10 year old SLUT when my first son was born and that I am only 24.
awww HB such a beautiful young lady you have there.
You must be a lot older than your friend Amy. Wait, can you call someone a friend that puts less comments on your blog than you yourself? I noticed you on your own top ten list for comments. I guess you have to get them somehow.
Is that the original Pizza Factory I spy in the background? Love that place!
Happy Happy Birthday Kaitlyn! You are a beautiful girl. It is so fun to hear about all the great things your mom says about you, you are obviously a fantastic daughter and sister. Enjoy the day!
