Friend Party

Today was Staelie's 1st friend party. I know I know it sounds so bad that she is 7 and this is the 1st friend party but it is and she had a blast. We invited Synara, Sadie, and Makayla to her party. We had it at Evans Beauty College. The girls got their hair styled and their nails painted. They loved it. Here are pictures of them waiting for their turn and then getting their hair and nails done. Sorry this post has a ton of pictures.

They all looked so beautiful. They loved having their hair curled. I think the nails getting painted was actually the winner. They were so funny trying to decide what color to get. Synara was so funny she was wanting to match her dress and couldn't find the right color. So I had to remind her she wouldn't be wearing the dress tomorrow. So she decided on blue cause she would wear blue tomorrow. They loved watching each other and talking about what they were each getting. They all got along perfectly. Such cute fun girls. After the trip to Evans we headed home to have cake and ice cream. I had made cupcakes, I colored icing purple, pink  and blue. I had chocolate icing and every kind of sprinkles. There was also candy. I gave them each a knife and let them decorate their own cupcake. They loved it. They wanted to decorate as many as they could. They didn't even care about eating them. They were showing each other what they had done. They created some fabulous cupcakes. After cupcakes and ice cream.  It was time for presents. Staelie has some really thoughtful friends. She got some great stuff. Thanks for all that came, you helped make it a wonderful day. Here are the pictures of them getting ready to decorate and opening gifts.

Happy Birthday again to my Staelie. Hope you had a fabulous birthday with your great friends. Tomorrow is the family party with my family since Jose is out of town. This has been a birthday week. Oh well you only turn 7 once.

Oh My Heavens Look Whos 7

7 years ago at 11:12 pm this beautiful blond little girl joined our family and life just continued to get better.
Staelie turned the big 7 today!!! She was so excited. She could hardly wait for this day to come. Before she went to school she got to open a few gifts, of course new clothes. Here are some pictures of her before school.

We made her purple rice krispie treats for breakfast. She is having a party with her friends tomorrow and having cupcakes and a family party on Saturday with cake. I thought she would like a treat for her real birthday so we made rice krispies in her favorite color. We then took donuts to her class at school for her to share. She got to be queen bee of her class for the day. Her teacher gives them a crown that says Happy Birthday that they get to wear all day. Here are some pictures of her wearing it after school.

After school she got to open the rest of her gifts. She got a new Wii game Just Dance Kids, new lip gloss, earrings and fingernails. Here are some pictures of her opening her gifts. McKall is in the pictures with her and every time I went to take a picture McKall did something funny so don't mind the pictures of her. When McKall saw them she laughed and wanted them on the blog. I think out of all of them I got one good one of her. Its a good thing these are Staelies pictures.

When the gifts were opened we still had a busy day ahead. Jentrie had piano, Staelies friend Synara came with us. We went to the park while waiting for piano to get over. After piano it was off to baseball for Jentrie. While she was at baseball we headed to WalMart to finish getting the last min things for her party tomorrow. We then picked up Jentrie and the poor girl had dance. We dropped her off at dance and headed to Apple Bees to have dinner with my dad and sister Ashlee. Staelie loves Apple Bees because they sing to you for your birthday. So they sang to her and brought her ice cream. That made her day. Here are some pictures actually quite a few pictures of Staelie, Synara, Stockden, McKall, my dad, Ashlee and me at dinner.

I think overall it was a pretty great birthday. We are so lucky to have Staelie in our family. She is such a sweet girl. She loves to write and color. She loves animals all kinds. She is always checking out different animal books from the library. She had a poisonous animals book this week. She loves to play dress up, outside, dolls, trucks, in the dirt, soccer and swim. She is quite the fish she loves the water but has no fear. She is shy and friendly at the same time. She is a great helper, she can entertain herself but loves to play with others. She is my easiest to please and mellowest kid. I think the lord knew I would need her before Stockden came. She is a great big and little sister and loves her family. I love you Staelie and am so lucky and proud to be your mom!! Happy Birthday!!!
