Our little Mika is growing too fast right before our very eyes. We had a little party for her with family and a few close friends on Saturday. It was pretty much chaos and nothing went as planned, but at least the kids had fun and that's all that matters.
I love this pic, because Mika loves Kaylin's friend Gage. He's in Kaylin's class at school and at church. He is so sweet to her. She usually yells at him, but whenever she sees him she screams "Gaaaa!"
She loved all her presents, but she did stop opening the rest after she opened her new cell phone. She walked around for a while talking on it. It's conversations like, "HELLO! Um Hi Mommy, Da, Bubby. My pone (phone) yeah, Bye."
Mika had a blast. She went around singing a fragmented "Happy Bertday...Mita" even though we have no idea if she knows what it means, she did know however, that all the presents were HERS. This is her singing Happy Birthday along with the rest of us.
Blowing out her TWO candles...
And enjoying some frosting. On Sunday when we had more cupcakes, she licked one cupcake clean, pushed it away and said, "Don't want it." Then she walked over, grabbed another cupcake and proceeded to lick the frosting on that one too.
Yeah....chaos. I didn't even get a chance to thank everyone for the gifts, there were so many kids helping and asking to play with the toys, while I was trying to keep Mika interested...so sorry! She loves them all! When we got home, she had her stroller with her baby and doggie right next her, plopped herself on the ground adorned in all her new jewelry and dress up shoes, with her computer on her lap along with her cell phone, goodie bag and played music from her computer for her "audience."
Happy Birthday Mika! Can't believe it's already been two years since you came into our family! She definitely adds some spice and laughs...we can't imagine our home with out her!
I asked if he wanted to get some of his friends to take a picture with and these girls flocked around him!
We took some pictures outside afterwards. I LOVE THEM!
Congrats Bubby!! We are proud of his hard work and all he's learned this year! On to Kindergarten! He can't WAIT to ride the bus with Kaylin!
Travis even got to come by at lunch. We had a fun day just being there to support Kaylin and her friends. I love dragging Mika with me, it reminds me of my mom dragging me around to Elementary Schools all growing up.
The kids love jumping off the back of the boat.
Travis and Kaylin tubing, yep it's my camera phone again, so it's not a great pic, but I keep forgetting the other one. I didn't get any pictures of Justin on the wakeskate (although I'm REALLY kicking myself on that one!) or of Travis on the wakeboard, but they did awesome and I'll take pics next time!
Ethan loves the boat. He's been daddy's helper getting it ready for the summer. I've been proud of him for how brave he is. I think it helps that all the other kids are getting in. I've got him enrolled in swim classes in June.
We are getting very excited for Memorial Day at Lake Wedowee. I think it may be another heaven for the kiddos. Travis coaxes me there by saying I can read anytime I want! :) So I've got my great new books from Mother's Day and the huge comfy chair waiting by the door.....
We wanted to get her a tricycle for her bday and she insisted on trying every single one. She actually didn't really care which one we got --which was a surprise-- she just cared if there was a bike in the cart or not.

This is the only pictures of Travis and I that turned out! Bubby was a champ trying to take it! I think we are tripping over my heels! Thanks babe, for such a great day. Loves.
Kaylin showing Meagan our very pretty card....
Wendy's first time on the boat and in the lake! It was a little cold, so she just dipped her toes in.
Here's a photo op gone wrong, or gone cute, you be the judge. They can't keep their eyes off Wendy!
When my kids are asking to hold her, I am. I love this little thing!
Kaylin is very sweet to her, loves holding her.
Cute cousins (minus Henry) All the girls are in matching dresses!
