Never Grow Up!

Is it that time of year already? Two birthday cakes, two parties & two girls getting another year older! Time does fly.....does life have a 'Pause' button?

Rockstar Cowgirl

This year, both Sydney & Riley wanted "Tangled" cakes. I found this idea online, kinda improvised and came up with my own version of a tower. Turned out decent...at least it passed the little girls' princess test. So we did Sydney's 4th birthday party at a store downtown called Rockstar Cowgirl- it is a jewelry and bead shop. The girls each got to pick a strand of beads they liked & a pendant to go with it. This party was actually an absolute blast! The kids loved making their necklaces & Syd had a very memorable birthday!

These girls even color-coordinated their beads! They amazed us all at how well they did!

Riley, has it been 6 years since we had you? Already?

My sweet, lovable Riley Jo Jo (she does not like me to call her that by the way)....she turned 6 & lost her first tooth all in the same week! She wanted to have her friends all come to a swimming birthday party again this year. And she also wanted a "Tangled" cake, although not "exactly" the same as Sydney's. So, the towers are the same, but if you notice, they are a bit different...at any rate, her party was very fun! The kids had cake & ice cream, opened presents & then swam all that sugar off!

Swimming

I have tons of swimming pictures, but haven't downloaded them all. Here are a few of them though, and once Riley figured out that she is now tall enough to go down the waterslide, it was GAME OVER...I don't think I saw more than a blur of her the rest of the time, as she ran past me to go back up for another ride down!
