Happy 10th Birthday Kassandra!

So I'm sitting here, planning which pictures I'm going to put on the blog of Kassie's Birthday, when my daughter comes up to me and says, "Mom... are you going to put the pictures on the blog?" Now you'd think it was the birthday girl asking me this, but no. It was Madeline. I'm not sure why she cared so much, I mean it's not her birthday. I'd like to think it's because she just loves her sister so much.... (crickets) :o)

Kassie says she can't believe she is 10 now. Neither can I. It's yet another case of time flying by. Ugh... Anyways, much to her (and her sisters) delight, here are some pictures of the birthday girl opening her presents.

And blowing out the candles...

Happy 10th Birthday Kassie!

Happy 12th Birthday, Sydney

Hard to believe. Another year has passed and sure enough, my oldest daughter is now 12. My, oh my. Lord, have mercy on my soul for the years to come. I've been told it's all downhill from here. :o)

Here are a few pics of the birthday girl opening her presents.

New shoes from Grandma and Grandpa

A new outdoor basketball.

A shirt she was "dying" for.

Cash... Look at her expression.

It's almost like she doesn't know what to do with it.

And lastly, the other Nike outfit we got her.

Happy Birthday, Sydney. Please quit growing up.

.....

She makes me feel old.

Miss Kassandra's 9th Birthday

Yep. She turned 9 today! Wowza.

And.... no birthday would be complete without presents and cake, so here's the pictures of both!

Here she is in the outfit and with the flowers

Grandma Shawna and Grandpa Dennis got her.

New Littlest Pet Shop creatures! Her favorite.

Just what she asked for, a new Bobby Jack bed set.

Isn't she excited! This is how it looks on the bed.

And then came the big one.....

A new bike!!!! She'd been dying for one!

Look at her go!

With her favorite new pet.

And then came more Littlest Pet Shop creatures!

The boys got them for her.

Here is her awesome cake. Ice cream cake, that is.

And blowing out the candles on another great birthday!

The 11th Anniversary Of My 21st Birthday

Was so much fun! Andy and I went to the Seahawks preseason game last night against the Packers. It was awesome! Great seats + great game = great time! (Thank you Troy and Dusty for the wonderful birthday present!) Here are some pictures I took.
Then today, Andy and the girls surprised me with a couple of paintings I had wanted. (They're so wonderful! How'd I get so lucky?) Check them out!
Needless to say, I had a great birthday and I can't wait to do it again next year!

Madeline Turns 6!

Oh my gooseness, how time flies. Today, my baby girl Madeline turned 6 years old! That's crazy!!! Here are a few pictures of her opening her presents this morning.

A Barbie, A Pillow Pet, A Tinkerbell Bed Set, and A New Bike. I think this girl is set for a while! She got everything she wanted. (Read spoiled) Lucky duck!!!!

Then, as if she didn't get enough already, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, like she requests for her birthday every year. Here are some pictures of that.

Happy Birthday my big 6 year old!

Sydney's 11th birthday

We had Sydney's 11th birthday dinner for her early, since she will be gone on her birthday. I made her exactly what she wanted, barbecued teriyaki chicken and corn. Yum! I also made her birthday cake. She's so lucky!

The girls waiting for dinner to be ready......

I ♥ them!!!

Sydney is sooooo happy!

♫♫Happy Birthday to You....♫♫

Oops, she didn't get them all!

And then of course, comes the silliness I know and love.

Those are my girls!!!!

Happy 11th Birthday Syd!
