Happy Birthday Kyra

My Ky Baby turned 7 last week!! I can't believe how time flies--7 seems so old!


Chaly made this cute birthday banner for us-thanks Chal!


For Kyra's birthday we headed to grandma Camme's pool for a swim party.

Ava


Mazie


Bree loved Kris throwing her up in her floaty


Kyra was able to invite Sadie and Halle to come to grandma's and they had a GREAT time!

They all had some great moves off the diving board.....

even BRee.....






Kyra and Madi

Bree


Uncle Jess and Bret were great to play in the pool with the kids

Rayanay's first pool experience



Halle and Kyra
Kyra, Sadie and Halle had a fun little game of jumping off the side holding hands and giggling!

Both families were there and it was LOTS of fun!

RIck and Lacey

me and my little bro-who shouldn't be taller than me! (Don't you love his shirt?)


Papa Steve -thanks for keeping your pool so warm for us to enjoy!


Uncle Curt wanted to swim so Steve rigged up a way for him to keep his foot dry

Steve and Camme

Grandma and cousin Rayany
Andrew

After swimming we had a BBQ. We had a flip flop theme for the party with

Flip FLip cupcakes.....


FLip Fliop notebooks for the goody bags......


Flip FLop ice crean cake on a graham cracker "sand"...... (So there is no side view of these because of the little mishap with my freezer. I made the cakes the night before the party and put them in the freezer overnight and in the morning we learned that a breaker had blown over night on the circuit with the freezer so they were melting. ALl the candy had slid down the sides. Luckily we were able to salvage them for the most part)
and we had a flip flop pinata!
THe birthday girl!

Jess's glasses made it to the party guests


After eating we opened lots of fun presents.....



After presents we had fun with the pinata!!!

It is scary how old makeup makes them look!






Bret and Jess brought the girls flowers back stage before the show started (apparantly Jess's glasses are the new "thing")


Halle and Kyra

She was all smiles too






She must have learned her moves from me-look at those hops!

Of course if there is a camera nearby Mark will find it----and start undressing...
