All about Kelsey!

Braden seems to get way more face time on my blog than Kelsey does. But only because he's at the cute toddler stage where he does something silly every day. Kelsey is 9 now and much more grounded than her brother. But if I'd had a blog when she was little, you can bet I'd have been posting just as many silly stories about her as I do about Braden. To prove it, here are just a few of her being silly as a toddler before I get to the real point of this post!
Of course when she was about 2, her dad taught her to do the "loser" sign, which became her favorite thing to do.



This... well... I don't know.... she was just silly!



Here she was with Lizzie, who was scared of the vacuum and this is what she did when I got out the vacuum.

As you can see the "silliness" of my daughter is still intact! Actually, this is from "crazy hair day" at school and a friend did her hair. I missed it, I was already down at the property (see previous post) but luckily a friend got a picture for me.

Anyway, the entire point of this post, is about Kelsey and how proud I am of her. She's in 4th grade and has always had excellent conferences. All her teachers have had good things to say about her and this time was no different! She has excellent grades and acts as a leader to her peers, encouraging them to do better on their assignments. He also said he felt she was destined for student government. This surprised me more than anything because I was never a leader and didn't even consider running for any student government positions. She is awesome at math, which we can thank her dad for. So even though we aren't perfect parents, it seems she's turning out alright! Hopefully we can do as well with Braden, although with his activity level... it remains to be seen how he will behave when he gets there.
