JADYN'S 6

Our little Jay-Bird is now 6 years old! All I have to say is - WOW!! Where did the time go? And at the same time - wasn't she 6 two years ago? I can't believe it's been 6 years. Yet, she hasn't changed much in the past couple of years. Erik & I laugh all of the time about how she's been the same for awhile. I guess that's what happens when you start walking at 10 months or because you're talking in complete sentences at 18 months. Or when you basically potty-train yourself at 2. Maybe it's because we did nothing to help her learn how to read or write. Or since she knows how to add & subtract without even thinking about it. She's just a smart little kid. We love her dearly & she's such a joy in our home!!

The festivities began with a birthday party on Saturday the 30th with some of her friends....



This was my attempt at making a birthday cake. Keep in mind that I've never taken a class or anything. I just assumed I could maybe do it because I watch Ace of Cakes all of the time. HA! It was hard & didn't come out anything like I had planned. It took a majority of my morning on Friday to make & I almost threw it out because I was getting fo frustrated with it. Oh well! Some people liked it & thought it was cute. Just don't look too close!



Mimi & Papa even came to her party. We couldn't find Papa for awhile & we found him here...


The morning of the 31st - her actual birthday - began with breakfast in bed.


Kylie even read a book to her while she ate. Then came the presents. After which it was time to get ready for church & then we spent the rest of the day after church packing for our trip the next day!
