Kater Mac

Meet Virginia

2008-09-07T19:31:00.000-07:00

Well, Kater has gone off and left us for 8 days! She headed out to Virginia with Mimi and Pop to spend some time with her Auntie Chris and Uncle Mike in what they call "Hooterville". hehe
I have gotten a few words over the phone when there are no grapes or yogurts around because then she wants nothing to do with the phone. Here are a few pics of her adventure and look out for more to come. She went out boating today so keep checking back for more pics. :)
Love and miss you baby,
Mama

Kater Tot

Well, Kate has been on the move lately. Here are a few pics of Kater showing some skin and one hanging with Mimi and Cowboy.
See ya~

Nicole's new digs

2008-08-17T09:37:00.000-07:00

We were invited out to a little outing at the Harmon's last night. Kate and Ashton had fun romping around in her playroom. Chris was the grill master and we were able to celebrate Somer's engagement. I look forward to having them out to the house once it is finished.
I also added in a few shots of Kater with her new purse. Here are the pics.

Busy Kate

2008-08-08T12:03:00.000-07:00

Well, we have been busy. There have been a lot of people come to visit us. We have had fun on the Choo Choo, a fun girly day at Libby Lu and on the trampoline at the gymnastics place. Hope you like the pics.

Uncle John's Birthday!

2008-07-12T11:12:00.000-07:00

We are sending out a message to Houston for Uncle John's birthday. Hope you have a great day enjoying your white cake with chocolate frosting.
Love~Kate M. Baker

Hangin' Out Again

2008-07-11T14:02:00.001-07:00

Kate and Ashton had a heck of a time the other night. We thought Nicole was being a good babysitter upstairs while her mom and I chatted. Soon we found out she was polishing her toes while the girls got crazy with lipstick. hehe :)
They actually got a little sneaky and found the make-up. I hope they stay friends forever.

Hangin' out

2008-07-01T07:46:00.001-07:00

Just a few pics of Kater. We went to Barton Springs with some friends this weekend. It was very cold but so fun. Kate loved it and munched on some Veggie Booty afterwards.
Our friend Carrie invited us over yesterday to see their new house and have Kate, Gracie and Che' play.
We are all good. Miss you.

Kate's Birthday present from Dad

2008-06-13T07:37:00.000-07:00

Dave had ordered this darn tricycle months ago and it came yesterday! How cool is that? It showed up on her actual birthday. We went out to eat a bite and came back so we could put it together. She loves it and is just short of being able to pedal.

Blue Hole

2008-06-09T08:32:00.001-07:00

Blue Hole was the destination for Saturday. It is about an hour drive south of us in Wimberley, TX. It is a spring-fed creek and it is awesome! Did I mention it is cold as crap? You feel like you are trying to be Huck Finn. We all got to jump from the rope swing and watch these kids climb these crazy high trees to jump from. I was tempted but never quite made the plunge. All in all we had fun and plan to go back.
See ya~

Summer Kate

2008-06-04T11:12:00.000-07:00

Kate and I have been hanging at the pool and trying out her new suit. Thanks again to Nicole and Ashton. Dave also got her the cutest shades which she insists on wearing every time we go out. Here are just a few pics from today. We met up with a mom's group for some fun with other kiddos.
See ya.

2nd Birthday!!

2008-05-28T07:43:00.001-07:00

We celebrated the big birthday this weekend in Clyde. Kate did a complete nose dive in to her cupcake. No hands required. It was great to see everyone and we had a wonderful time.
Here are a few pics.

Coppertone Girl

2008-05-23T09:24:00.000-07:00

Hey! Here are a few pics of Kate over the last few weeks. Happy Kate and giving me attitude. hehe

She has been out at the spray park a lot and it is showing with her tan. I promise there is sunscreen involved.

We are heading to Clyde this weekend for a Kate Birthday/Memorial Day bash. Pictures to come next Tuesday.

Hope all is well.

Swimsuit Issue

2008-05-08T13:51:00.001-07:00

I love Austin!! I swear, there are so many things to do here with Kate. Today we went to a little spray park over by us. It was so neat and she loved it as you can see. There are over a dozen water spouts which shoot out at random times. I plan to keep going back all summer.
Poor thing, her large belly kept pulling down her suit. hehe

Kate's Big Weekend

2008-05-04T08:37:00.001-07:00

Mimi's Birthday

2008-04-30T09:52:00.000-07:00

Mimi and Pop came in for the big birthday. We went out for a Mexican fiesta as you can see. James and Pat let Kate investigate their back yard. There was so much for her to see. She was trying to sneak up on the Guineafowl.
Also, John came in from Houston to hang with us and it was nice to see him again. Kate really warmed up to everyone even though it had been a few months since she had seen everyone.
So, there are a few pics of it all. Hugs.

Surprise! It's Granny and Grandpa

2008-04-30T09:45:00.000-07:00

Well, we were sitting around in our robes on Monday when we got a big surprise from my Ma and Dad. They drove up from Lubbock to visit us. I had not idea and was so excited since they had not been down since October. We had a blast and enjoyed the patio, grill and a few beers.
Here are a few pics. I have to add that with them came even more spoiling for Kate.

Austin Children's Museum

2008-04-19T09:35:00.000-07:00

So, we met up with a few cuties at the Austin Children"s Museum yesterday. All I have to say is that place is LOUD! My gosh! Kate enjoyed the train, vibration drum and even did a little gig for the "Kiddie Austin City Limits". It was the neatest thing I have seen. They were able to get onstage with their own light show. There were little monitors there showing them as if they were on real stage. So cute. I would have gotten video if my camera battery would not have crashed.

Here are a few pics of all of it. The dudes in the train station are Gus and Ansel. They are the sweetest little boys. Hope all is well and see ya next time.

Stylish Babe

2008-04-17T17:52:00.000-07:00

Hey, Hey! Just a few pics of Kate hamming it up with the camera. She is doing well and getting bigger by the second. #2 is almost here.

Hope all is well.

Hugs~

Fort Baker

2008-04-09T08:56:00.000-07:00

Well, we have been busy lately. Dave and Kate built a fort while I napped on Sunday. I have to have my naps you know! We were invited to a grill out on Saturday at Gale's. Kate had a blast with her son, Che. They were busy rolling rocks down the slide.

Che is a super sweet kid and we got a cute shot of them at the library checking out the snakes. Kate was just a hair shorter than Che and Gracie.

Hope all is well with everyone. We are off to a wedding this weekend so there will be a ton of pics coming.

Hugs~

Easter in Lakeway

2008-03-26T09:40:00.000-07:00

We had a little early Easter fun in Lakeway with the Harmon's and Nicole's mom, Renee. We had so much fun. There is a great park over there near the water where they held the egg hunt festivities. We ended up over at Nicole's later to hang out and hunt more eggs. Ashton and Kate had a few smooches and ran around the backyard looking for trouble. We are so happy to have them close by and feel blessed to be able to have Kate spend time with Ashton. They get along so well and I am eager to see them grow up together.
Until next time...

Budding Artist

2008-03-26T09:30:00.000-07:00

So, Dave bought Kate and easel. I think it has be to her favorite thing in the whole world. She has been drawing on it all morning. Hopefully she gets some artistic ability from her father because I definitely do not have any. :)

Hope all is well with everyone. Hugs.

Easter in Clyde America

2008-03-23T19:42:00.000-07:00

We headed to Clyde this weekend to spend Easter with Mimi and Pop. We kicked back at the zoo and took her out to the egghunt in town. Kate shot across the grass as soon as she saw the Easter bunny there. She is in love with the dang Easter bunny! I asked Dave to dress up as one for her birthday party this year. We may do it. hehe

Other pics are of us hanging and the park and some at home. We had a blast. Happy Easter.

2008-03-20T12:41:00.001-07:00

Easter at the library

2008-03-20T12:19:00.000-07:00

We were invited to the Roundrock library this morning for an Easter party. She did have fun even though she looks very irritated. I think her bottom teeth are bothering her quite a bit so she was not in the best mood.

Either way, thanks to Gale and Che for having us out. The puppet show was our favorite part.

Weekend of friends

2008-03-12T08:31:00.000-07:00

Kate and I are so happy to be back in Texas so we can see friends again. Lynsey or "L-Dogg" made a quick visit to Austin, TX to hang out with the girls and show off her new son, Rhodes. We had a great time and trying to catch up for the last 7 years we missed. All in all it was great and I hope to do it again soon.

I miss her already and plan to head to Cali to see the boy again.
