Beach fun!

The girls and I decided to head to the beach for the morning!

It's wasn't particulary sunny, but it was warm and not too cloudy. We had a blast playing in the sand, jumping the waves as the tide came in and throwing rocks into the water.

When we were getting into the car B turned to me and said "Mom, you always know what will make us happy..." Awww I love her!

Not-So-Secertly, the beach makes me super happy too! I swear it's the cure to anything!

They grow too fast...

Today at 7:34am my little girl turned 6!

Happy Birthday to our big girl B!

Party!

B had her birthday party today!

First we had a family breakfast with pancakes, fruit salad and our favorite Applewood Smoked Bacon. She got showered with many lovely gifts and we had some mini chocolate cupcakes with a buttercream swirl icing and little buttercream drop flowers so we could sing "Happy Birthday".

Then when our family headed home we finished setting up the backyard and getting ready for her friends to come over. 9 of her friends came and splashed in the splash pool, jumped on the trampoline, threw themselves down the slip and slide and made up games! We also did a take-home-craft instead of goodies bags and the kids got to color and design their "very own" coffee mug. They were all super excited to have their own mug! She again got some wonderful gifts and was so happy to spend time with all of her friends at once! We had more of the mini cupcakes and I made B the cake she had asked for... A Princess Castle!

It was a great, tiring and fun day!
