Kate is 6!

We celebrated Kate’s 6th birthday two days early since Mike was going to have to be out of town on her actual birthday.  She requested haystacks and ice cream for her birthday meal.

On her actual birthday, Aunt Tessa graciously met me at IHOP (Kate’s choice) to celebrate, but I didn’t get a picture.

We like to stop out often at Uncle Brett’s building site and check out the action.  The basement walls are now done.  Grandma giving them a wagon ride to check it out.

We went to CEFCU night at the Peoria Chiefs game, but the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac turned it into a rather wet affair.  =)  The kids didn’t seem to mind in the least.

I am amazed at how well the kids swim.  Kate is now fairly good at swimming with an actual stroke and just yesterday Lincoln took his belt off that he has worn all summer and was swimming.  They both do so well and I’m grateful, it makes swimming with littles so much easier to know they can swim so well on their own. (note, while I think she looks great, I did crop A. Tessa out of these pictures so she wouldn’t be mad at me).  =)
