Kelsey's birthday 2008

Well Kelsey is now 7yrs old. She is pumped. Her birthday party turned out great. Opened presents, made bead bracelets, had some pizza, ate cake and ice cream, and it was over. Now that is my kind of party.

Kelsey cracked me up the other day. We were trying to decide what to do for her party and she brought up the goodie bag thing. I hate them but have never told Kelsey my feelings on the subject. So in response to her idea I asked, "Kels, do we really want goodie bags?" to which she responded, "No, they're just full of cheap junk toys." Now that's my girl!!! So, I have now managed to eleminate the games and the junk toys. It makes life and party planning much more simple. Besides, the girls had a blast making bracelets.

Below, a few pictures of the party. Oh, do any of you guys know if it's ok to post pictures of other people's kids? I thought about that as I was posting the pictures of her class and the party. I'm sure if it's illegal I'll be the first to get busted for it. Let me know before something stupid happens.

Can't have a party without a Hannah Montana cake.

Kelsey and her best budd again.

So tonight as I am cleaning Kelsey's room, I turned around to see her playing Karaokee in this get-up. It cracked me up.

Halloween 2008

Started out the day at Kelsey's school. I took most of the day off and helped out with her class halloween party. I was put in charge of the fishing game. It's not as easy as you may think. They had three kids fishing at once, so as I am putting a prize on one hook another one is flying over the top hitting me in the face. It was interesting. The kids had a blast.

The kid's desks were covered in black paper. They were given white chalk to draw halloween pictures on the paper. Cute idea.


Later that day Mom, Shannon, Kynnadi, and Brooklyn came to town to hang out for Halloween and to spend Kelsey's birthday with us.

Here's the three amigos before leaving for the night.




Mom looks cute here.

Got a couple pictures of the girls going door to door.



As usual, we started out the night at the University, headed to the church for trunk or treat, and this year, because of the exceptional weather, we were able to spend a lot of time hitting the houses. It was so nice we didn't even wear jackets. I don't know if Laramie will ever see another Halloween quite as nice as this one. The kids had a lot of fun.
