Kyra is 4

I'm a little late in posting this but just haven't had the time. Kyra turned 4 on the 21st. She woke up that morning and asked if she was now 4. The next day she woke up and said, she was still 4. I love this age and their excitement. We had a joint birthday party for her and Kyleigh. Kyra had a unicorn birthday and Kyleigh had a whale birthday, so we incorporated the two into one cake. The leaning unicorn was my construction and we prayed it would stay upright until the party. The girls had a great birthday and we had a full house.

Kyra continues to amaze us with her vocabulary. She uses words we don't think she should know the meaning of. She loves to talk and sing. Just today she woke up and talked to Mark for a 1/2 hour in the bathroom while he was getting ready for work and then came out to the kitchen and talked nonstop for another 15 minutes to me. She is our social butterfly. She is excited to go back to school in a couple of weeks. She was a princess for her birthday and got all dressed up and completed the look with a tiara. She also loves to draw and color, anything to do with crafts. She is finally riding her bike with confidence, she got a bike helmet for her birthday.

Mark and I had a great anniversary. The Ingle's watched and fed the kids for us while Mark and I went out for supper. We then stayed for a couple of beers. It's hard to believe how far we've come in 10 years. Neither one of us would have said we would be celebrating 10 years with four kids and one of them turning 9. We are looking forward to the day when we will be done with diapers. Mark starts classes again this week and Mason has his first football game on Saturday.

Mason is home sick today. He's been running a fever off and on for about 10 days now. He is also complaining about his stomach hurting again. I am hoping it is nerves from school starting but this is exactly how his stomach problems started last year. He has an appointment on Friday.
