Tenlee is 5

I cannot believe that my little girl is 5 already!! It literally seems like yesterday that my mom looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "you have a little girl!!" and then they placed in her my arms and I instantly fell in love with the most beautiful baby girl. I never knew how much I could love someone until she was brought into our lives. She is the most thoughtful, kind, respectful, helpful, loving, and funny little girl. She loves pleasing you and doesn't like knowing she done something wrong. She is so ehlpful around the house, she LOVES being in the kitchen and baking anything! She is also a great helper with laundry. Her job is to put all of the towels and the kid's pajama's away and when she sees me folding laundry she immediatly starts putting things away, without me asking her to. She is also a second mommy to her little brother's. She is bossy with Kooper, but then at the same time she will geton her knees and grab his hands and talk very softly to him and explain something or tell him why she yelled at him. And with Tucker, she loves picking him up and holding him, and whenever she walks past him she always goes up to him and kisses him and then will sit and talk to him. It melts my heart seeing her love on them both, in very different ways:)

Her favorite things: Snow, playing Wii with daddy, animals-especially horses, baking, her Wiggles (her dog she has to sleep with), coloring, puzzles, shopping, being read to too, campfires, her babies Emma and Tatum, ANYTHING PRINCESS-She literally wears a princess dress almost everyday

I was inside with the baby and Tyler came up and told me that 

Tenlee was driving the bobcat..Papa is teaching her young

She loves to draw!! She drew our family and gave us all
yellow hair (blonde) and was so very proud of it!

 We had a girl's date night. We went out to eat at Applebee's and then we watched the new 

Cinderella movie at home in our pjs and popped some popcorn. We had so much fun!

 She planted these pumpkins this summer with papa and it was 

finally ready to pick. She was so excited at how big it had gotten. 

She was so excited that daddy got his first deer this fall, she cannot wait to 

go hunting next year with daddy and shoot one with her bow and arrow. 

 Her first night at Cubbies this year..she was so excited to start back up

One of her favorite things to do is help me in the kitchen. I am not the best cook and actually I don't really enjoy it so I let her help as much as she wants, even if a mess happens because I want her to grow up loving to cook and hopefully she will be a little better than I am:) 

She had so much fun staying up till midnight

 

  Oh, that is something I need now (She said this after seeing an ulta commercial with makeup)

Mom, look at my whole adventure of pine cones! (She was under a pine tree and saw dozens of pine cones) 

Sorry I would love to help you guys but I need to keep writing in my book (She said this when we asked her to help us snip beans) 

This is my friend mom. She came from heaven where she lives with Jesus She got hurt. She went back to the woods to go hunting and she hurt her leg. I told her to lay down and take a napy and she would feel better, and you know what mom...she feels all better!

Here's the deal mom...when you don't want to be sick you have to eat healthy..so...I'm hungry!

Mommy I don’t want you to go to Walmart in this weather.(super windy and dark out) I don’t like storms, but you know what Mommy, it’s ok cuz Jesus is with me EVERYWHERE!

Kooper comes up to me and says "Hi Kellie", I ask Tenlee if she told him my name. She said no and then a few seconds later said "I think Jesus told him your name mom".
