Fairies and Princesses....

For her 7th birthday, Kerri Ann wanted a TinkerBell party, again! This year we invited all of the girls in her class (8 counting Kerri Ann), 2 of her friends from church, and the big sister of one of her friends, who is the same age as Emily. We invited 12 total (counting KA and Emily) and ALL 12 were there! They all got along VERY well and Kerri Ann had a great day! The party was from 2pm - 4pm, parents could drop off their little fairies.

For the Craft/Goodie Bag we made Necklaces and Bracelets using the box of 5000 beads that I had bought.

Stringing the beads .


Such concentration!

She was concentrating hard too! I got a picture of each

child and in each picture this is about how they all looked!


Most were finishing up at this time.

Next, I had put together a "coloring book" of fairies for them to color. This also gave me time to set up for cupcakes and ice cream. :-)

Coloring away. I offered to let them stand at the table,
they all said no they wanted to stay on the floor!

Cupcakes. Of course what would a cupcake for
KA be without something purple!

Kerri Ann's cupcake!

The inside of the cupcake!

The table set up. Centerpiece had all 12 cupcakes
on it.

Singing to KA.

Blowing the candle out!

Time to eat! Since we don't have 12 chairs I had
the girls stand. One of the little girls asked if
they could all please sit down. Nope sorry we don't
have a place for all of you!

I think they are enjoying the cupcakes, even
if I did make them stand :o)

All of her gifts! She LOVED everything that she
got! But most of all she LOVED having her FRIENDS
at her house to play with!!

All the 1st grade fairies and princesses! I meant
to get Emily and her friend and somehow they got
away without getting in the picture!

It was a wonderful day for Kerri Ann. On her actual birthday I took chocolate chip cookies to the school for her class to have at lunch time. I also let her pick out what we were going to have for supper that night, she picked pizza!

7 years old!!!

(Kerri Ann's Birthday is November 8, 2003~ but I put the pictures up on the night before, so the date above is not her actual b'day!)

WOW!!! Has it really been 7 years? I hope you have a great birthday Kerri Ann!!! We love you bunches!!

The past 7 years in pictures:

I had so much fun looking through these pictures! It is always fun to go back and see how each child changes through the years!!

I will try to get pictures of Kerri Ann's party on the blog soon!

More Tooth Fairy...

This time Emily lost a tooth! This is the 3rd one that she has lost this summer. Before that she had not lost one since she was in 1st grade! For some reason I did not take a picture of the last 2 that she has lost :-( They are on both the same side as the one that she just lost, but they were on the bottom and this one was on the top. One of the ones that she lost was in June while she was at Nana and Poppa's house (that is why I don't have a picture of that time!).


Looking at her it is the top left.

SOCCER!!! GAME TIME!!! KA's team the Tigers!

******There are 3 OTHER POSTS AFTER THIS ONE!!!******

Kerri Ann's team are the Tigers! There are 3 boys and 3 girls on her team! They are all just learning, but are pretty good at the same time! I think that both girls are enjoying soccer this year! I have a group picture of KA's team, but not Em's, she went to get ready for her game before KA's team was finished.

The Tiger Girls (Tiger Lillies as one parent called them)

BFF's Love how their head is tilted the same way!

Silly girls!

The Tigers! (missing 1 girl)

The girls defending the goal! Don't you love how
KA put the shirt on :-)

KA was moving back and forth in front of the
goal the whole time!

Take her turn on the bench.

Waiting on the ball to be thrown into play.

Go get the ball KA!! KA is #2

SOCCER!!!! GAME TIME!! Emily's the Bucks

Emily's Team is called the Bucks! They play the whole field. They played a pretty good game. When we first started watching Em play this is what she was doing....


Just standing around. She was on the defense and
the ball wasn't coming that way, but she didn't
act as if she was actually going to move from that spot.
But once her coach started encouraging her to go after the ball,
she stepped up and did a good job.


Waiting for the ball to be thrown into play.




Going after the ball!

Running hard. She was even able to get the

ball away at times!!

She is right there with them in this one.

GOALIE!! Mommy was worried about her playing
in this position! But I shouldn't have been! She
stepped up and stopped the other team from getting
a goal! This picture was after that play! WAY TO GO
EM!!!

Her time on the bench. She needed it after all the
running and stopping the almost goals!

No score is kept in Upward. But the teams did tie!!
