Katie's trip to Grandma and Grandpa's

Katie spent the last week of February with Tom's parents up in Spartanburg and she had a blast. They took her to Chuck E. Cheese's twice and to the mountains of Pigeon Forge, TN. When she got home she talked endlessly about all the stuff she did and how much fun she had. She especially loved riding the ponies. Here are some pictures Grandpa sent us of her riding on her ponies.
Remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. By the way, the man in that picture is just the guy running the rides. I didn't want anybody to think that was my father-in-law. My father-in-law is handsome....looks just like Tom. ;^)

She had a blast up there and they enjoyed having her but I think they now realize that when we say she is a handful, we really mean it. She is nothing like Brittanie. Brittanie was calm and mello and obedient. Katie is just the opposite. She is a ball of fire. She has her sweet side but she is quite a pistol 90% of the time. For those who knew me growing up, she has my attitude when I was 14. Unfortunately, she is only 3. I can't imagine what she will be like as a teenager.

We have all been sick in the house and we finally all got better and then Katie came home and caught it and got her first ear infection since she had her tubes put in last year. She is hard to treat because everything upsets her stomach. Right now we are giving her Zithromax and chasing it with Imodium to prevent stomach cramps but it doesn't work 100%. Thankfully she only has one dose left! But she is feeling better. She picked a fight with Brittanie on the way home from school today. So things are getting back to normal. LOL
