 Below is a bit about Anne Banan at this age and a few pictures. 

Annie loves all animals and thinks Goldie is the best , cutest, smartest dog ever. 

Pretty Princess!

This girl sure loves her horses!

Rock on

Father daughter banquet in February 

The kids played spring soccer through PCS. Nothing super strenuous, and the girls got to be on the same team. It was the perfect speed for our family. 

Annie adores kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Killough. She does great on our 2 homeschool days, but makes it clear she’d rather be at school! She started kinder on 9/1-no fear, only excitement. I hear her playing school at home with Ruby and pretending to be Mrs. Killough.she sounds bossy:)

Grandma made her an amazing “Laura and Mary” dress as Annie calls it. Adorable! 

Celebrating the 100th day of school

Annie has always had her own language that cracks us up. She doesn’t let not knowing a word stop her, and just makes up something close because the girl is gonna TALK. She is such a talker! Some things I’ve written down are: 

Why not? We’re on convation!! (Vacation)/Look there’s mr mayor! (Talking about mr Swanner in carline)/Shucks“Kuh tater bus” for Decatur bus/Round of a clause for round of applause/Apple critters for apple  fritters/Gasp! What communion elephants??? When communion elements were mentioned at church/Beef turkey for beef jerky/Ice kickles for icicles/She nippled me (trying to say Goldie nipped me)/Do they have peanuts on the Bread?! (Talking about Sesame seeds on her hamburger bun which evidently she loves)/This one is flated (for inflated)/Praying for everyone we are “sheeping” (we are part of a shepherding ministry at church and pray for our “sheep”)/Great Friday for Good Friday/samage for massage/fairy go round (for a merry go round) 

Getting us to practice “he is risen” motions for Easter service 

Kids saying she’s a pot head (literally-she had a pot of her head and was being goofy)

Onomatopoeia-learned from her teacher and kept talking about it!

She loves to read and has made progress to become a great kindergarten reader! She quickly checked bob books off the list and loves picking easy readers out at the library. She reads with a lot of expression and volume as you can imagine. 

I had put her to bed and was in the hall doing laundry. She came out to go potty and said, I already miss you! She is very loving and demonstrative about it.

Slowest eater ever-still have to set timers to make her hurry up. If it’s something she likes it’s no problem, but otherwise it’s torture! She does not like pbj which is a problem bc we have it daily. She just has to suffer through it.

Loves playing basketball in driveway-she’s more competitive and worked at Getting baskets in hoop. Loves family bball games when we play

Signs of summer-Line on nose and green chlorine hair

Lost first tooth on 8/7 while camping, 8/21 lost her second tooth while golfing in Decatur! 

She’s a great cleaner still-I can put her on any cleaning task and she’s fast and does a good job! She’s also good at organizing and keeping things neat. She organized the attic for me once! For fun!

Very sensitive to movies and sad stories right now-Cried hard about benji-very sad about animals being separated from owner or mom and babies, cries about watching Alice in wonderland and similar “scary “cartoons, yet loves watching Star Wars. She’d rather watch a show than movie bc she’s not as emotionally invested. 

Can you just glue hot it back? (For anything that breaks around the house)

Accepted Jesus-1/5/21 after big talk w Steven (she had been having more and more God talks with us since the summer), baptized 1/14/21

“I gotta scream my screams out!” (dance party in the living room )
