Kylee's 7th Birthday Pow Wow

We celebrated Kylee's 7th Birthday this weekend with an Indian themed horse riding party.  The party was amazing. 

Here is the invitation I created.  This picture was actually taken a year ago Halloween.  But she hasnt changed much!

My little indian birthday girl:

The cake and Buffalo Patty Cupcakes (lol), also the only glimpse of the book we used for guests to sign in:

The birthday banner I made on my Cricut:

The party favors were dreamcatchers that I found at Dollar Tree:

The set up:

The bucket of 100 cake pops and 50 smore pops:

Close up of the Cake Pops and Smore Pops:

The birthday girl posing:

There were too buckets of rocks, one with animals names on them, and one with adjectives, etc, on them.  The kids drew one rock out of each bucket to form their "Indian Name" for the party.  It was very funny.

A close up of a couple fo the Indian Names.  My niece wore hers on her hiney since that is what was most visible, lol.

The birthday girl on her horse:

A bunch of Wild Indians on horses:

The cowboy holding up the Indians!

As many kids as we could get to stay still for a pic:

Blowing out the candle:

She made this face after each gift she opened.  She got 3 "debit cards," as she calls them, lol.  She is so precious:

And one more shot of my Indian Girl:

Her party was amazing.  I think all the kids and adults had a great time.  There were so many that helped out, I am so appreciative.  So thank each and everyone of you all!!

Kylee's 7th BirthDAY

Here is my SEVEN year old:

Her BirthDAY was so much fun! It started with pink chocolate chip pancakes, homemade whip cream, and a birthday button (and a few gifts of course):
Then pizza for lunch at school with me, Dad, Bubby, and her cousin Dill Pickle:

Then I took cupcakes to her class at 2:15:

After that we went to Bealls (the only place in our town to shop for shorts besides WalMart) and she ended up with new tennis shoes and 2 new shirts. Then we drove thru McDonalds for ice cream cones. The day ended with more pizza, a visit and gift from Mema and Pop, and more cupcakes!!

SEVEN

In just 23 short days, my little cowgirl will be SEVEN years old!  Can you believe that?  I know I can't!  We had fun taking some quick photos this weekend while Bubby was taking a nap.  We hope to get a chance to do some more at another location, but for the mean time, here is a preview...

1st Grade Bento #42 - Polar Express Bento

Today, Kylee got to wear her PJ's to school for Polar Express day.  They will get to watch the movie, read the book, test on the book, and just hang out in their PJ's all day.  So, I thought I would make a Polar Express bento to go with it.  I got in super late last night from an awesome Girls Night with all the ladies from our church, so I put this together this morning.  I think Im getting better at morning bentos!  But I dont want to make it a habit!

and a Chocolate dipped peanut butter cracker.

And here she is in her pjs.  She is not a morning person, so of course you get a very fake smile.

Kylee's Letter to Santa...

Kylee lost her 3rd tooth!

(Please note the fairy dust on her pillow.  I think she gets more excited about that than the money.)

Kylee's Open House

1st Grade Bento #24 and Picture Day

I forgot to take a picture of this new box I found at the Sanrio store in San Antonio this weekend. Kylee loved it. It is Hello Kitty and has a fork/spoon holder in the lid. They had lots of bento boxes, but they were kind of expensive.

Ham and Mustard Sandwich

Grape Kabobs

Cheese Bats

Mini Club Crackers

and Candy Corn

And today was picture day! Kylee actually ASKED to go to the mall yesterday after her doctors appointment to get a new outfit for picture day. Well she HATES shopping and I have NEVER had her ASK to go shopping or get new clothes, so of course I had to take her! I wanted her to get some color since this is the headshot picture, but she was stuck on this outfit that she picked out the pieces to. I thought she was adorable! It was kinda dark this am. Hopefully I can get a photo shoot out of her in it some other time.

Fire Prevention Poster

Strep has been running wild through our household.  I think I was hit the longest, but the hubs was hit the hardest.  He was finally feeling a little better last night, so he helped Freddi with her Fire Prevention Poster.  I was so proud of the idea she came up with.  And she is quite the artist!

How we spend our evenings...

He wants to ride!!

Kickin up dust!

Helping push the barrels out for his Sissy.

He finally got his turn.

Aren't they adorable?!
