My BIG little 5 Year Old!

Kylie turned 5!  She is such a light in our family and we love her so much.  She was 8 weeks premature (by far my most terrifying delivery) and I am so blessed to be her mother.Words to describe Kylie are: fun, girly, dainty, determined, beautiful, smart, strong and loving. 

 She was a beautiful baby and loved so much by Mason and Taryn.  As you can see, Taryn loved to push her in the stroller.

 Love this picture of 3 of my kids when they were all under 5.

 2 1/2 and so pretty!

 A great big sister too!

Kylie in front of the SD Temple.  She always has such a sparkle in her eyes that can light up a room.

This school year Kylie started afternoon preschool 3 days a week.  She LOVES it and has learned to read.  I can't believe in the fall I will have 3 kids in school.  Kylie loves to dress up, play Barbies, dance, and loves picking out her clothes for the day.  Once in a while she still wanders into our bed at night so the deal is that if she stays in her bed all night, she gets to pick her outfit for that day.  Her favorite food right now is Sweet and Sour Meatballs with rice.  For being such a tiny little thing she eats the most meat out of my girls.  She is funny and smart and doesn't like it when anyone calls her little.  She had a Strawberry Shortcake cake and got some "fancy jewelry" she wanted, a Zhu Zhu pet, and an outfit.  We are taking her to Monkey Island (a bounce house) with the family to celebrate!

Happy Birthday Kylie McKay Banks!  We love you so much!
