Legit

For some reason I can never get used to saying "Legit".  It just doesn't flow naturally from my lips.  Yet another year and another awesomely entertaining performance from our girls.  You just had to be there.

If you weren't able to be there, here are their video performances!  You can thank me later for the laughter you will be experiencing.   I am so glad our children make me smile. :)

This years theme was Totally 80's.

First up, Laney's performance with the other Kindergartners and 1st Graders.
She is at the far left with her blonde hair in a side pony tail and some mad Robot skills.

Next up, Kadie's performance with the other 4th and 5th graders.
She is close to the front right of the video most of the time with her crimped hair, cute glasses and CRAZY moving hips.  It may be too early to tell, but I think she has Josh's dancing genetics. :)


I always think, we may pass on doing it next year.  Then they perform and we have such a great time watching that I know we will sign up once again next summer.

You Go Girls!!!

Double Digits!

Kadie is 10 years old!!!  I can't believe she was born a decade ago.  She is seriously the perfect first child for me.  Helpful, funny, motherly...she definitely brings joy into our lives.   She had begged and begged for a sleepover, and although up until this point we had a no sleepover rule, I felt like she was maturing beyond her years, so we said YES.  We kept the group small and tidy to do away with drama, and it worked.  All of the girls had a blast, but more importantly, Kadie had the time of her life and said it was even more fun than she thought it would be!  She even inspired one of her soon-to-be-10 friends to have a similar party!

Because I am still feeling a little sick with pregnancy, we kept the decor simple, but super cute!



 

We started off the party with the girls making their own jewelry.  Moved onto making mini pizza's and drinking fancy cream soda, and ended with ice cream Sunday's and watching the movie "Mirror Mirror".
A few of the girls had to leave after the movie, and that left 4 girls (including Kadie) to the sleepover craziness.  The party was pretty mellow until the sleepover.  Then the squealing and high pitched laughter started and didn't stop until midnight. 




A few days later was Kadie's actual birthday, and we celebrated in Laney fashion with yummy cake, and fun gifts.  Kadie was so excited to get her own Oreo Pie made by Aunty Morgan!




She got so many cool things!  A squinkie cruise ship from Grammy and Grandpa Laney, some real chocolate turtles, a Xia Xia pet, tons of craft things, and even a pottery wheel from Grandma and Grandpa Waldron.





The night of course ended with Cade being a jungle gym in the regular fashion.


We love you Kadie!  Happy Birthday!!!
