Birthday Party!

Last week I celebrated my birthday with family. It was a good time. . .

What's a birthday party without balloons?!? The cousins and I had a good time playing with these. Uncle Jason had to supervise since we would tend to get a little rough at times. Hard to imagine you can get rough with balloons, I know, but we did.

I even got this great big princess castle balloon from Jacey and Morgan. I'm showing Grandpa Ryan all my favorite princesses.

Time for presents!
Look at this great tea pot and kettle set. So much cooking I can do now!

I even got some fun Dora sheets to go on my "big girl" bed.
With Mommy and Daddy's help, I even blew out both my candles.
The cake was delicious and we made a terrific mess!
What was Mommy thinking giving us chocolate cake? I think it has something to do with how much she loves chocolate cake, especially with that growing baby brother/sister of mine.

With Uncle Jason's and Snapper's help supervising again, we spent some time outside to wear off some energy.

What a fun birthday party I had!

A few pictures that Mom forgot to post earlier. . .

Mommy made me some cupcakes to take to my daycare party at Erica's, so Papa and Grammy helped me decorate them. I also got to open a couple presents that day, since I had to wait until the weekend for my party.

Cheesy Smiles on my Golden Birthday

I celebrated my Golden Birthday last week on the 2nd! I've been practicing my "cheese" smiles a lot lately so I had many silly smiles to give the camera.

More pictures from my party to follow soon. . .

Catwalk

I've heard Daddy say that girls change their minds a lot. Well, especially being a toddler, I'm no exception to that rule. Remember how I used to love hats, purses and then sunglasses. . . now my favorite is shoes!

Here I am modeling Mom's work shoes- a favorite because of their obivious simplicity of getting on.

These boots are much more difficult. These belong to Aunt Missy and I think she usually prefers her flip flops over these. I struggled a bit with these but it was worth it.

and one of my all time favorites now is these great rain boots I'm borrowing from cousin Jacey. I think they look especially great when paired with this flashy cowgirl hat.

As much as I love modeling my favorite accessories though, I also still love helping my Daddy whenever I can. Here we are cooking up some stuffed peppers.
