Well, I can't believe it... Kelli is 4! I can't believe that 4 years ago this little girl decided to surprise me and come 3 weeks early.. she is always unpredictable and full of energy. She is super smart and has the most amazing memory ever! She loves her family and her friends more than anything in the world! She has always been a litte bit of a daredevil and will climb up, jump off, go around, and try ANYTHING. She loves to learn.. she loves to learn Sign Language and has been writing her name for about a year now.. Once she learned how to sign the ABC's its something she has to practice daily. I taught her how to count in sign language and now if you do "3" wrong.... its almost like she can't comprehend any other form of showing 3 fingers.. if you dont do it right.. there's something wrong with you and she will insist you fix it before she'll listen anymore. Which brings me to my next point.... she's hard headed. She wants what she wants and she will talk your face off til she gets it.. she'll try to brib you with candy and treats she can't buy.. but hey! Atleast she tries right? She is just like me in the sense that ice cream is her favorite thing in the world.. every night she wants it before bedtime and everytime we get in the car she tries to brib me to get her a ice cream cone. I love that if I tell her "the Doctor said"--She'll do it, no questions asked. Her 4 year well check has been a blessing... she wants to be this amazing healthy eater cause "the Doctor said" to eat veggies, fruit, and no soda and little choco milk... and that is what she does! I love that when I tell her to stop talking.. its pretty much IMPOSSIBLE. I'm not kidding either.... I say, "stop talking for one second please" and she says.."Ok mom....(pause)... Did you see that mom? I listened, I said..OK MOM. Where are we going? Who are you talking to?" blah blah blah.. even when I'm not in a conversation with her, she'll tell me what she wants me to say.. (it drives me nuts) She is hilarious, a smart al-lic, brilliant, loving, caring, daring, open minded, eager to learn, and remembers too much for her own good, she loves music and she loves to dance and "shake her booty".. she loves to be center of attention, playing outside, riding her bike, and talking to Uncle Greg on the phone, and put puzzles together and do crafts. but most of all she loves her family, the church, and ice cream!
Here are a few pictures from her Birthday. What a better way to spend your birthday than on Pancake Tuesday with all your cousins?? We even gave everyone hulahoops for party favors..
The best gift we gave was obviously the bike, and it has been the greatest thing to get her energy out and pass the time away. But if you ask her, "what was your favorite part of your bday??" She'll answer, "talking to Greggy on the phone."
