Happy 7th Birthday!


It is hard to believe that Kiah is 7!  She had an amazing year.  She did so well as a first grader.  We absolutely loved her teacher.  We were sad to see her move at the end of the year.  But Kiah recently wrote her a letter, and I am pretty sure we will hear back from her soon.  Kiah got great grades. She was Star Student one month. We are so excited that she loves school so much.  And we cannot believe how great a memory she has!  Truly impressive!

She grew to be just over 4 ft tall.... which allowed her to go on her first grown-up roller coaster back in November.


She lost her second tooth.  She has 3 more that are loose now!


She Sprained her ankle for the first time.

She spent lots of time making her brother and sister laugh!  And she makes us laugh, too!


 She gave a talk in Primary on Service

She had her first speaking part in a school play.


 She still LOVES mints
Was was a little more daring... but only a little.  She only made it about 6 feet up.  But that is huge for her!


She was a lot more daring in the water.  She went on rides by herself.  

She took swim lessons and can now swim unassisted.  




We celebrated her birthday with friends earlier in the year.  But We still wanted to do something for and with her on her birthday.  So she got her hair cut
and some cute little face painting





and...

then...

her ears pierced!

Car Sick

So Chris and I really think Kiah gets motion sick!  This trip we had to stop so Kiah could get out of the car... almost as soon as she did she tossed her cookies!  Chris and I looked at each other and all the other times she puked in the car came flooding back.  Most of the time she was much younger and we just thought it was an ear infection, or some other bug.... but this time there was no mistaking it! Poor girl!

Sprained Ankle


Kiah twisted her left ankle in PE yesterday. She is still limping on it. Poor kid. If it isn't better Monday we are supposed to take her back to the doctor.

2nd tooth

Kiah lost another tooth.  This one has been loose for awhile now.  She showed me how loose it was at one point today.  It was barely hanging in there.  I almost just yanked it, but over the last 6 years I have learned a little about Kiah's personality and I just didn't think it would go over very well.  But then later she talking with me and she realized it was missing.  She had no idea where it had fallen out.  We looked for a bit, but with no luck.  So Kiah wrote a letter to the tooth fairy.  I didn't help her write it.  We have a book about the Tooth Fairy, so I think she used that to get the spelling correct.  I think it is so funny that she misspelled "MY" since that was the first word she learned to spell, after she learned her name.  I think the little southern accent she is developing may have confused her!
