Time for another Birthday

Today is Miss Kourtney's 4th Birthday! This little girl has been counting down the days till her birthday since Drew's birthday a week and a half ago. The first thing she said to me this morning when she woke up was, "Mom, look how tall I am now. I grew like 40 inches because I'm four now. I'm serious, I'm not even lying!" Then she proceeded to tell and show me how she can run faster, jump higher, and sing louder now that she's four.

Since Jeremy had a church meeting tonight, we took her on a lunch date today. Aunt Meggie watched Drew, and Lexi was at school, so it was just mom, dad, and the birthday girl. Kourt was in heaven and loved every minute of it. All she wanted to eat was Taco Bell and get a 'cheese crisp' (quesadilla) . I wasn't too keen on that idea, so her dad convinced her that the cheese crisps were much better at Costa Vida......now that's better. Her favorite part was getting a root beer all to herself and not having to share it with her siblings!

Before Jeremy left this evening, Kourt opened her presents. All she wanted was some pretend flowers (go figure), so her daddy was sure to get her some. She was thrilled!

I sure love this silly little girl, and it has been quite the adventure with her over the past four years. She has grown up so much over the past year, and is no longer my mischievous little toddler, but a sweet and helpful young lady. I sure love my girl.

Happy Birthday Kourtney!

She's so cute.

Do they get better at four? Because 3-year-olds are evil.

Shar, four is so much better than three!!! I love 4 and 5 and I'm thinking I'm going to love 6 too....I'll let you know in a few months. Both of my girls starting outgrowning the 'evilness' around 3 1/2. By the way, I think 3 year olds are way harder than 2 year olds! So good luck for the next year.
