Happy 10th Birthday to Kylie!

Happy 10th Birthday, Kylie! 



Kylie made her own cake - a marble layer cake with chocolate buttercream frosting!



Kylie got her ears pierced! She was so brave!
And now she looks so grown up!


Kylie is so sweet, kind, smart, and joyful. She is a wonderful helper with the little kids and a great big sister to Brooks. She is a dream of a daughter and has been since the day she was born. We love our oldest with all of our hearts!

What do you want to be when you grow up? a baker and actress
What did you eat for dinner on your birthday? Chester's

A few other things she likes...Reading, computer programming, going to school, baking, biking, playing board games and card games, basketball, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, eating dessert (especially chocolate), making crafts, drawing, helping out around the house, and playing with her friends.

A few things that she dislikes...Saying good-bye to visitors, getting in trouble (which doesn't happen too often), brussels sprouts, raspberries, blackberries, and most melons, wearing jeans, and having her hair combed.

I'm trying to think of a few milestones over the past year. She has continued to make great progress at school. Her cursive handwriting is beautiful. She is also really progressing in sports and athletics. Both her volleyball and basketball skills have improved A TON in the last 12 months. It is really fun to watch her play. She can run well over long distances. She ran a mile in 8:44 this summer. She has been playing piano for almost 3 years now, and she has grown a lot in her musical ability. She started playing in the school bad this fall, and she has chosen to play percussion. She is loving it. She also likes to bake and is easily the best baker in the house! She got her ears pierced for her birthday and she is looking so grown up!

Kylie still likes to sleep, and sleeps from about 8:00pm-6:45am. She goes to school from 7:35am- 2:45pm. She has always been a good eater, and happily tries most foods! She likes both school hot lunches and cold lunches from home. She has lost 12 teeth, and has 4 more loose ones. She is still a teeth grinder as well, but it seems to be getting better as she gets older. 

She recently weighed in at 77 pounds, and she is about 59 inches (4'11") tall. She is wearing mostly size large/xl or 10-12 clothes, and size 5/6 in shoes. Her feet are officially bigger than mine, and I'm sure she'll be taller than me in a year or two!

Kylie is so special and we are so proud of the young woman she is becoming!
