Here's the Birthday Girl! Katie is 3 years old today! Some of you may remember her birth story....
I had worked all day and was picking up fish from SAM'S on the way home. I had some doozy of contractions on the drive home, and even better! My water broke on the way out the door! So, I rushed home, we took the kids to some friends that were at the restaurant-which THANK YOU GOD THAT I STOPPED!! or we wouldn't have had anywhere for them to go. So, anywho-we took off for the hospital. Merrill thought he would drive 55-60, well, you know, you don't want to drive to fast while YOU'RE EATING! So, while I was dying/hyperventilating, I asked Mr. Frame if he could possibly DRIVE FASTER!? Well, he decided that maybe he should, since my contractions were going from 5 min. to 1 min. apart. I had called my midwife before I left, so she was already there. Good thing! As I was sitting, yes sitting, in a wheelchair, facing a bathroom, little Miss Hurry Up decided maybe we best hurry up! I delicately SCREAMED and the ER people decided they might hurry up and get me somewhere, which was the Emergency Room. The ER Dr. looked as though he might die. (I think he'd rather see a severed arm) Stephanie, aka the midwife, came running. She was just in time. Katie came about as quick as Stephanie walked in! We hadn't found out the sex of the baby yet, so Merrill's first words to me were "TOLD YOU SO!!" IT WAS A GIRL! 7 lbs. 6 oz. 20 1/2 in. long. What a sweetie. She has brought this family much joy. She's ornery, and sure can scream, but that stubborn spirit will get her far in this tough world.
She loves to sing, play outdoors, read, go to church, wear dresses, love on her baby sister, and loves to eat RONI CHEESE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!
Here's a picture with one of her favorite people! GRANDMA! They are great buddies.
Here we are getting ready to go get ice cream for Katie's birthday.

Love the new family blog!! I think they are so much fun and a great way to keep in touch with family and friends who don't live to near to us!
Happy Birthday Katie! You are such a sweet little girl!
Didn't she just turn one? Hello? Someone, stop the world from spinning so fast.
Happy Birthday Katie Patatie!! Aunt Char (Travie, Ty-guy and Miranda) sure does love you. Sonya...woohoo on the family blog!! I love it.
Um, I think you left out the part where your friend thought of the perfect middle name that very afternoon. Hmpf.
That's the trouble with blogs. People can write complaints for the whole world to see.
