On Friday, we drove to Atlanta to surprise Andrew's sister for her birthday. His grandmother was also visiting, so we got pictures of all of the cousins with grandma and great-grandma.
We met Oni & Jeanette's new baby, Cameron.
Brothers and babies.
Katherine is currently obsessed with stickers.
She almost took over Grace's birthday present.
Monday, we cooked out at the Howard's house. Andrew had to grill in the rain.
We were able to get in a little swim time before the rain.

Big smiles!

Since we did not have power, we spent Monday night at the Howard's house. Amber & I got home around 10pm from a meeting with Jen about flowers for Holly's wedding. Katherine and Andrew were sleeping downstairs. She had never slept in that room, so she didn't like it. The rest of us went upstairs to talk and didn't hear Katherine crying. Andrew brought her up about midnight, dropped her in the middle of the bed and went back downstairs to sleep. The other girls left to go to bed, and I stayed to sleep with Katherine. She had other plans and didn't go to sleep until 3:30am. At 6:30am, she sat straight up and said, "Mama, I need milk!" as if she'd had 12 hours of sleep. 3 hours of sleep didn't sit well with me, so I spent Wednesday sick on the couch.
Thursday, we took Katherine to the Birmingham Zoo. Mimi went with us, and we took her to lunch afterwards for her birthday. We've been spoiled by San Diego, so after an hour and a half we were finished. She did enjoy the "gee-raffs" and "os-tich."
Katherine really wanted to see the monkeys. These were the funniest.
For some reason, Katherine would not walk on the smooth sidewalk. She wanted to walk in the rocks.
It's becoming obvious that Katherine has a lot of my personality traits. We butt heads just a little. :-) Here we are having a discussion about why she needs to get back in the stroller. It ended with Andrew pinning her down while she screamed and tried to escape. I know ... mean parents.
Andrew did a lot of yard work on Friday & Saturday. Katherine was a big helper. She likes to carry the flowers to be planted and then carry the little trays back.
Everything must be neat and in order for Katherine.
Our church hosted the event at a park in town, and we had over 1000 people in attendance. 
Katherine really enjoyed eating the candy inside the eggs. One of her favorite phrases of the weekend was, "I need chocolate!"

Andrew took Friday afternoon off work, and we went to watch them practice instead of going Saturday with 90,000 people.
Two of the planes are flying upside down here.
It kept snowing most of the morning. Katherine played in the parking lot during the last part of Sunday School.
Brandon was attacking people with snow balls as they arrived to church. Of course, this is at the back door to the music suite, so he knew most of them. Later in the day, Brandon let go of the Wii controller while bowling and busted the TV. Yes, it can actually happen, so wear those wrist guards!
After lunch, we went out to Amber's house for an afternoon of fun.
The "kids" found every bit of snow they could before it melted to have a big snowball fight.
Lauren, Brien & Coy win the prize for biggest snowballs.
