Kate took Mom and Dad went to Indy to be with family and friends for the weekend. Kate enjoyed stopping to see Coach Tom and Kathy Slyder and the girls, Taylor, Mallory and Allie. It was great to catch up with our close close family friends. Kate loved playing with the girls in the backyard. Kate loved being with all the great grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins over Memorial Day Weekend. A very BIG THANKS to everyone for all the food, baby sitting, tickets to the race and love...what a great weekend! It was a great time of rest and a blessing to be with family...we thank the Lord for our country!

My Pretty Aunt Abbie at Prom 2009

Prom '09 (Leopard girl paid $100 to get her hair done!
Abbie already made a hair appt. for next year!! Ha)


What a darling couple!

Aunt Abbie and Emmalee asked their sisters to
do their hair and makeup for prom-what a special
honor for Stephanie and Jamie!

The night before prom "practicing" on the girls!

We thank Aunt Abbie for asking us to come and share in her first prom! What a special moment for mommy remembering when Aunt Abbie was four and came to see her on her first prom. I got to see Aunt Abbie all dressed up and she looked so pretty. When I go to prom in 2023 maybe Aunt Abbie will have a little girl to come see me get into the limo!!! Oh yeah, and daddy says he will drive the limo when I go!!

Indy Visit!

Macy, Kate, and Molly enjoying a playdate this afternoon!


Grammy Briscoe, this one's for you!
Kate sat right down at the piano and played
a beautiful song...you'd have been so proud!


Molly and Kate playing "train" on the slide!


Thanks, Castetter girls for the get together!

A note from Kate:
I miss you daddy! Mr. Cadwell said he is going to get the car adjusted so we can come home to you very soon! I missed playing at the park with you this weekend. I promise to take you to the park when we get back home. Mommy says she misses you too! I have been very busy! Mommy did Aunt Abbie's hair for prom and she looked really pretty in her dress (pictures will soon come). Today Molly and Macy invited me to come over and slide down their slide. I went up the steps and slid down all by myself. Mommy couldn't believe how brave I was! We had a really fun weekend, but it's not the same without you.
Love you daddy, Kate

Happy Mother's Day!

I LOVE MY MOMMY!! Happy Mother's Day!

THANKS MOM FOR ALL YOU DO!!

THANKS MOM for LOVING ME!

Mom thank you for all your hard work!!

I want to thank my Mom for all she does each day for me! I am the luckiest girl in the whole world to have a Mom who loves me, teaches me about Jesus and is always there to support me! My Mom teaches me daily what it means to love Jesus more than anything and to thank God for all the blessings we have in our family. I love you Mom! I hope you have a great Mother's Day! Love, KATE

To all my great grandma's, aunts and grandma's I want to wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day too! I love you all and thanks for all you do for me!! Love, KATE
