Getting ready for school

I took Kya school shopping yesterday.  We had such a great "girls" day.  Lunch at the mall, shopping for clothes and then a fun fashion show.  I asked Kya if she wanted to try on all her new clothes (special thanks to grandmas for some clothes too) and take pictures...she asked, "where are we gonna go for our pictures".  I love that she gets excited about a photo session.  She is such a goon though, most of the pictures she's being goofy in...what a funny girl.

I think this is her signature pose...its all she wanted to do when I would ask her to pose.

Isn't she gorgeous!

And then of course...my little Zander.  He started potty training yesterday and got a big boy bed.  Can't believe how fast they grow.

I bought this train table base at DI about 6 months ago for just $10...painted it to match his room and voila...a new big boy bed.  

Kya's Birthday celebration

Yesterday we had a great day.  It started with Kya waking up, dressing herself and coming through her birthday streamers.

She requested blueberry muffins for breakfast and mac & cheese for lunch and shrimp and steak for dinner.

A fun hairdo

All dressed in purple

Isn't she gorgeous

She wanted her nails done...they last about 30 minutes.

We had a masquerade party with her friends

Cupcakes and party favors...my red eye fix stopped working on her left eye...oops.

Zander fell asleep while Kya and I got ready for the party...just not his thing I guess.  But he sure is a handsome little guy.

5 years ago...

5 years ago on August 2nd...my little girl was born.  How the time flies by so fast.

In just a month, she's going to school. Crazy!

Happy Birthday Kya!

We love you!
