~Kimbri~
Some things about Kimbri lately:
- She's very excited about primary, especially when she gets to help and talk in the microphone. For example, she got up to do the testimony moment in sharing time a couple weeks ago (I was subbing as the pianist that Sunday so I got to hear what she said), and she said, "One time I was at the YMCA and was scared so I said a prayer and I know that Jesus loves me." It was so cute and precious hearing her say her testimony experience. She is also getting very good at learning the primary songs that they are practicing for their program. She is particularly good at the words to Follow the Prophet, Gethsemane, and I am a Child of God.
- Her favorite foods right now are salad, spaghetti with sauce and cheese, carrots and peas, olives, applesauce, grapes and popsicles (we eat those often because of the hot Arizona weather! haha).
- She can't wait to start preschool! And I can't believe she's gonna be a preschooler! Meet the Teacher night is on August 27th and her first day of school is August 31. So it'll be here before we know it. Kimbri is always asking when she gets to go to preschool and I keep telling her, as soon as Brenna is born, it will be really close to you getting to start. She seriously can't wait!
- Speaking of Brenna... that is another exciting thing for Kimbri. To get a new little baby sister! She will sometimes just come up to my belly and rest her hand on it. She will be such a great big sister to a new little baby :) She's especially excited about the matching outfits that we got for the two girls!
- Kimbri definitely has more of a strong-willed personality but she is also so sweet and kind. Yes, sometimes she gets absolutely distraught over something kind of silly but it goes both ways.... she will turn around and display SO much excitement for the littlest things in life and it has really taught me to value the everyday things even more. I recently bought her a couple new shirts at Walmart because they were all on clearance for $2. When I showed them to her the next day to try one on she put it on and said, "What?! You got this for me?! Thanks mom! I love it so, so much!" Again, she teaches me to be grateful for the little things in life :)
- Kimbri also had her 4 year old check-up and she is in the 80th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. She had to get 2 shots at her appointment and it was a terrible experience for her, as I'm sure it is for any kid I guess. But it was so sad to see her in pain with big alligator tears streaming down her cheeks with her lips quivering. She was so brave though and we went and got her an ice cream cone afterward to help her feel happy again.
- She loves playing with play doh, dress-ups, reading books, riding her bike and going to the children's museum. Kimbri often asks Garrett if he will be her prince and dance with her. In fact, today she put on a white Sunday dress and got a fake dress ring and asked Garrett if he would marry her. Haha! Garrett kept running away saying, "No! I want to be Batman!" So she would say, "Fine, I guess I'll marry daddy." Haha. She says the funniest things.

| She emptied the toy basket and put her babydoll in it and told me that it was Moses in a basket. |
 |
| She loves her primary teacher, Sister Hogle! Her teacher sent me this picture they took in class one day. |
 |
| She loves snuggling/sleeping with her big stuffed bunny. |
 |
| That sassy pose... ha! |
 |
| She tried on one of my church dresses one day and said, "Look, I'm mommy!" Bahaha! |
 |
| Trying one of Brenna's headbands on her baby doll. |
 |
| Kimbri made this guy out of play doh and said, "Look mom, I made a guy with a mouth, eyes, a nose and poop coming out of his bum!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I laughed SO hard. |
 |
| Another play doh creations of hers... without the poop, thank goodness. |
Kimbri is seriously such a joy in my life and I simply can't imagine life with her. She is beautiful inside and out and I'm so happy that I get to be her mother.
I love this. She is so stinkin' cute! I wish I could have spent more time with your kids when we were all there at the wedding. I can't believe how grown up she is!!
