Kristen Turns 5!!! (July 18th)

This birthday was all about Princesses and so Kristen requested a Disney Princess cake this year. This is just before her friends and their families came over for a swim party.

Kristen loves swimming and just recently has discovered the fun of the diving board.

The next day, we celebrated with family. Kristen got this crown from her friend the day before and wore it around proudly for most of the day. It was pretty cute!



So..... here's 5 things about Kristen I want to share.
1. Kristen is persistent, and has been since she was born. When she wants something, she'll work on it, or bug you for it until she gets it!
2. Kristen loves to swim. She is my fishy and has loved the water since she was a baby. She swims around the entire pool and we have to force her to get out when it's time.
3. Kristen is sharp! She can already count to 100 and knows all her letters and phonetic sounds. She is ready for kindergarten!
4. Kristen has already lost 2 teeth! She is the earliest of all my kids to lose her first teeth!
5. Kristen loves her older brothers! She calls Nathan and Grant "my boys" and wants in on all the action that they get into. Consequently, she loves Star Wars and can burp quite well!
Happy Birthday Kristen Grace! We love you!!!

looks like a lot of fun. My kids would love to have a a swim party, although I think I'd be nervous to have one with a bunch of 5 year olds. You're brave Susan!
