another birthday!

so im a little late in posting this but as most of you know on the 24th of july we celebrated my kaylee jaynns birthday! my baby girl is four!! she had such an awesome week! yes you heard right,..week. her last 3 birthdays have been not fun, we've been in germany, no family and very few friends, whom we love and miss dearly, but lets face it.. it wasnt as much fun as it could have been. anywho, so, we had a huge family bash this year, all of her cousins on corys side of the family showed up, and it was so fun. on her actual birthday we did our own little quiet happy birthday, its tradition, i got some cupcakes because i was planning on making her cake and didnt want to over bake myself..:)...... i dont like cooking......anywho. so heres the results of that fun night..

my girlie is four! and yes i admit, in the pictures i took before this one there was only three candles........i was in denial i think...


nikoy, my messy little monster...gotta love her..



Cayden LOVED the pink cupcake.... can ya tell? BATH TIME!


the girls having "quiet time" yes the DS kaylee is playing is one of those stone age original ones....
so the weekend after kaylees birthday we did her party, lots of food, still have lots of food from the party...ew... anywho, so heres her cake, keep in mind, i dont like to cook, i can cook,very well in fact, i just dont like too.. this is really technically my first cake that involved writing... i usually pay someone to write on it for me.. and my cursive rivals that of a 5 year olds so dont laugh..



see? lovely! anyone who knows kaylee knows she thinks shes cinderella... so she LOVED this cake...on with the presents..


yeah, remember that stone age DS she was playing with earlier? she has proven herself capable of being about as responsible as a four year old can be.. (thats not saying much is it.) so we got her her own blue one..


PLAY-DOH!!!YES!! a fantastic new mess for me to vacuum out of my carpets!!!


some of the cousins...


kaylee opening one of the gifts from nana...(yes school clothes!!)


kaylee opening some games for her DS


and her most favorite gift of all.... hello kitty!!!!


and finally a necklace i made for her... yes i made it... cute huh? 3 hours of straight beading...i hate cooking, but i love beading... sweet..
all in all i think she brought in a good haul..we have decided that birthdays we go all out and Christmas not so much. we don't want our kids to learn that Christmas is about gifts, so we'll have gifts, just not so much that we're buried in gift wrap for 3 weeks after..... any-who... that's my Kaylee, she starts pre-school this august, Nikoys in kindergarten, it'll just be me and my boy for most the day.. fun stuff. so yeah.. :) till next time...I'll try not to let it be to long, but you never know whats going to happen between now and then so.. yeah.
