>We went to my mom & dad’s last night to celebrate Kamryn’s (my neice) 2nd birthday. We had pizza, ate a giant cookie cake thing, and looked at Kelly and Brandon’s pictures from their recent trip to Disney World. It was a great night with family that I’ve really been missing lately.

Dad and Kamryn have this weird little game they play where she will grab the “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” DVD off the shelf, run to Dad, smack him in his knee with the case, and he’ll smack his other knee. She laughs and laughs and LAUGHS, and then Dad laughs and laughs and laughs while we all look on wondering what the heck is so funny. It’s really kind of cute…

Last night Dad was the first to get the DVD out, and he brought it to Kamryn, obviously wanting to play (isn’t this adorable?). She then proceeded to tell us all about the “Bitch” who stole Christmas. Um…WHAT?

Of course, we kept asking her to repeat herself. (Some said they wanted to make sure they were hearing her right, but I just wanted to hear that sweet little voice say “bitch” over and over!) We soon corrected her, and after a few tries, she finally got it.

Have any fun cussing kids stories? Do tell…

>Hi there internets…I’m Katie. Remember me?

I remember you, and I promise I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet. I have mucho blogs stewing in my little brain, and they will surface soon. Until then, why don’t you read some of my friends over there in my linky list? Go ahead…you know you want to…

>Matt and I are leaving in the morning for a week-long trip to Carthage, Texas with our youth group. 14 kids, 5 adults and two 12-passenger vans are heading down there for a mission trip this week. I hope it will be fun, and I hope we get to be Jesus for people for a few days.

That being said, I’m going to be a little out of touch for a week or so. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about taking a couple hours Saturday night to catch up on all the blogs I’ll miss all week! Pray for our group – that we’ll be safe and get along well. Pray for Buster too – he’s staying home, and our friend Debbie is going to be taking care of him while we’re gone. I hope he doesn’t have another raging party while we’re gone. Kids…

Love each other!
