Happy 9th Birthday!!

Dada's bday party finally arrived! And celebrate we did! I am actually sitting here right now enjoying the quiet! Something I haven't gotten a whole lot of in the past 24 hours!!

Aaron and Lorrie were kind enough to let us ship Brother off to their house during the slumber party. He kept asking me where he was going. I think he did NOT want to be around with a bunch of girls, so I am thankful that he was able to spend some time with Gus.



We had 5 girls stay with us. 6 rowdy, hyper, happy girls.



While they were running around....I mean playing, the movie Ice Princess was on. Needless to say by the end of the day they were doing triple sow cows and double lutzes.



They were very hard to get to actual sleep.



Even though I was exhausted, I really tried to enjoy there giggling and "whispers."

But by 1 I was ready for bed! ;) Thankfully Hunny just had to tell them once to settle down, and I didn't hear much else from them!!





Morning came and some of the girls BEGGED me for coffee!! I couldn't believe it. But I let them. Sorry Moms!! :)



Daddy entertained the girls during lunch. Kids are so drawn to him!!



Then we went swimming! The part they were most looking forward to!!

I love this picture of DADA.



The girls found another frog.



I like the girls faces in this next picture as the frog was trying to jump out of the bucket!!



I think I have bragging rights.....Kayla told me I was her favorite Aunt, and I didn't have to bribe her with cake like I have to with Eli!! ;)



My 9 year old!! I can't believe it.....



With all the heat and humidity, the icing I made just didn't turn out tonight. But Dada didn't notice. She thought maybe it was just the candle that melted the icing. She told me she better blow the candle out quick since the icing was melting!! :)

This is also her favorite cake these days. She really likes strawberries sliced and put in the icing. It is actually really good. This is the cake that was gone tonight!



Present time!!!



Safe and secure in the arms of Grandma's!!






Tonight was a very different bday party for me. Hunny was called into work and wasn't able to be at the party. He was really missed. But I am thankful for his job and the ability to work.

I have to brag on Hunny.....while I was taking the girls swimming and when he was supposed to be resting, he picked up the house from the slumber party. He took such a load off of my shoulders and made my evening so much smoother! He is so good to me!!

I hope Dada had a great bday. She is so special to us and we couldn't be more proud of her.
