My Katie Turns Three

Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday.  We went out for a quick photo shoot up in the Daybreak area, since it’s really close to our house.  Every day we drive passed this sign that has a big K in it and she has been pointing it out to me a lot lately, so I wanted to get her picture by it.

I was so surprised with how excited and willing she was to have her very own photo shoot.  It just made me laugh how she would try so hard to do a cute pose.  I guess I should take her out more often since she was such a willing subject.

She was doing so well, I took her to another couple of spots.  And her puppy had to come along.

Just a little back-story on this puppy.  His name is Puppy (or sometimes just Pup), and she has had him since her first birthday.  She sleeps with him every night and he also goes to daycare with her every day.  He’s been to Disneyland twice and it’s always very concerning when he gets a “bath” in the washing machine.  He’s ratty and dingy and she loves him to say the least.

And because she did so well with her birthday pictures, she was rewarded with a cookie. (A delicious raspberry-filled sugar cookie topped with powdered sugar from Swirly Girls Bakery.)

Happy Birthday, my Little Bug.  Momma loves you.
