Kathryn Page Hawes is 9 years old



Kathryn drinking some water before heading off for her soccer game on her birthday. Notice the beautiful roses behind her to the left...her Aunt Magdee gave those to her.

Kathryn turned 9 on Thursday, October 11. She had a great day, despite the Math Benchmark testing that she had in school that day. She thinks that she actually did better because it was her birthday.

As you can see from the pictures above, she had a soccer game on her birthday. It was a great game and her team won 1-0. She has become a very good defensive player playing either sweeper or center-back. Her team sang "Happy Birthday" to her after the game which was really sweet. After the game, Chris and I, Aunt Magdee and her dad Matthew took her out to dinner at Red Hot and Blue which she really enjoyed.

She had a great day and got some wonderful presents: books, matchbox cars, Hannah Montana hair, roses, a basketball hoop for the driveway, a savings bond and money. On Friday, she spent some of her birthday money on some very nice books at the Book Fair at school.

On Saturday, we had a family lunch for her at our house. It was a lot of fun. Then Kathryn, Hannah, Mom-Mom and Granddad went to IKEA and Chucky Cheese. Then Mom-Mom and Hannah spent the night as Chris and I went to a birthday party and a wedding. Then they got to hear Kathryn's choir sing this morning at church.

Kathryn said that she had a great birthday and a great weekend!
