SEVEN!!!!

I have a SEVEN year old!! Holy moly....it seems just yesterday I was a scared, first time mom, giving this sweet little girl her first bath when we got home from the hospital...then all of the sudden, BAM...she is SEVEN!!! Happy Birthday Kylee...we love you so much and are so thankful you are in our family. You are an amazing girl...so sweet, kind, thoughtful, smart, beautiful...we are blessed to have you as our daughter and you are a wonderful big sister to Brooklyn and Kaden!


As usual, birthdays aren't just one day around here...they last a whole week! We went to Olive Garden for dinner, no pictures for that one! Dad took her to IHOP for a birthday breakfast, again, no pics...and of course we had presents and parties!! Opening some of her family presents....she also got a new bike!!
Cute sister girls in their jammies....
This girl LOVES to read...so some new chapter books were perfect

A new DVD...
LOVE this picture...proof that they DO love each other!
Squinkie cupcake toy!

She wanted a candy party...so we got lots of candy to give away to all the party guests! It was quite fun to watch all the kids faces when they saw ALL that candy! Pretty soon we won't be able to use cupcakes anymore...no more room for candles! SEVEN!!!My sweet mom drove all the way up for the special weekend! She was a GREAT help at the party! :) Thanks mom!!

All the cute party girls!

3-legged races....

water ballon/spoon races....There were a few water balloons left...so we got Dad! Good Shot Elsie!! My friends made this mirror for Kylee for her birthday...isn't that awesome!?!?

Blowing out her candles.... Enjoying some cupcakes!



THANK YOU to all her awesome friends who made this day so special for her! We truly are blessed to have such wonderful friends!

Such a beautiful girl. I wish my kids were born in months that we can have birthday parties outside. It would be such an easier clean up :)

A candy party?! Wow... I'm positive if my kids knew there was such thing we would never have anything different! Just wait till she's 8 and you plan a baptism and start activity girls!

Wait, what?! Really? Seriously?! SEVEN?!!!??? Is that even possible. I think you got your math wrong. That is just CRAZY to me! She is one cute 7 year old. I especially love the picture of her hugging Brooklyn. Sweet sisterly love. You are so creative with your kids parties. How adorable did that table look?! Love it! And you!
