Happy 15th Birthday Kailee

The girls after they finished their dinner
our little mini subway sandwich shop...

presents....
Ashton gave her pickles a princess crown & reese's {cuz it's mini max, she has a pillow that looks just like the reese's that she named Max...don't ask, she's weird}

from Teya...a charming charlie's gift card which she is excited to use!

Carolynn gave her a bear with a cute note attached that said "this reminded me of you cuz you give the best hugs just like big bear hugs!"

Sarah gave her an itunes gift card and headphones since the last headphones she had were "ugly" Sarah said :) This is the card that Sarah's dad wrote...he calls her Kailee Sue

The girls....Quincy {which I didn't have a picture of her gift but she gave Kailee makeup!}, Sarah, Carolynn, Teya, and Mary

Playing the skittles game....you have to pick up 2 skittle without looking and if you get the same color you can chew until someone else picks up 2 of the same color, if you pick 2 different colors you just have to hold them in your mouth! This was a fun game to watch!

mouths are getting full...check out the cheeks!!!

I had them show me their "wad" when the game was over....gross!

trying to make a star with their feet

the sock game....sooooo fun and hilarious to watch! I gave all the girls some cute socks and you start by sitting in a circle. When you say "GO" all the girls have to try to get the other girls socks off but try to keep your own on. The last one with a pair of socks or sock on, wins! There were lots of crazy moves...the girls had a great time! There were some rug burns! {oops}

Shawn was laughing so hard watching the girls...he didn't want to miss out on the fun so him and Kailee went a round to see who would come out on top....

Once Kailee got him down all the girls dog piled him and he went down!!!

exhausted after 4 rounds of the sock game!
but time for cake

sparkler candles

it got a little smoky!

tired but having fun! It was such a fun night...after cake and ice cream they watched a movie...I think all of the girls fell asleep at different times throughout the movie for a little cat nap!!! What a fun pajama party!!! and a fun group of girls...everyone got along really well!!!

Randomness

Look at what I found at Sam's Club!!! Do you hear it too? The angels singing and the sound of popcorn popping in the background! Oh my heck!! This bag is going to be one of many that end up in my food storage! We all agreed that we would be perfectly content to live off of popcorn if it became necessary!!

50 POUNDS people!!! Life is good!!!!!!!

This is what Kyler did while we were painting the office! He played with the packing peanuts {that I hate} and he had a ball!! He kept himself entertained for quite some time!

Tyson LOVES to help dad fix stuff! He was soooo eager to help patch up the holes in the wall! He did a really good job! Do you just love that little tongue hanging out as he is concentrating so hard! :) Reminds me of my brother Adam! {I know he will love and appreciate that!...luv ya Adam!}

So when I wasn't looking Shawn told the boys they could help paint and after they were done they told me to look!!! This was their idea of helping to get it painted!! :) stinkers!

This is our cute little friend Ruthie! We had her family over to play and watch movies and she just loved cuddling up with Bella! Bella loved all the attention too!!! Too Cute!

The Dog

I guess since Bella is a part of our family I should give a little shout out to her once in a while! I have to admit this little stinker has wormed her way right into my heart more than I expected! She is really such a fun addition to our family!! Bella and I have a love/hate relationship though....I love her all the time EXCEPT when she tries to lick my feet!!! I HATE IT!!!...even more than being tapped on the shoulder!!!!!!!
Bella LOVES to go to the dog park...her favorite thing to do there is swim! One of these days I have to get a picture of her dive into the pond...it's pretty crazy. She is loyal to her ball when she is there....it rarely leaves her mouth! I like to go and walk the track and Bella is learning that there is more to the park than the pond. She loves to come outside with me when I am bringing groceries in the house. She comes to the car, waits for me to load up and then she runs back to the front door and pushes it open for me! She really is a good dog.

Kyler just adores Bella and he loves it when she licks him! {{so gross}}
