My baby is 4!!!!

Yesterday was Laynee's 4th birthday. Now how did that happen?!!!! Wasn't she just this little a few days ago?....So Laynee shared a party with the twins over the weekend. But we still wanted to make her day special. She had school and brought cupcakes to share with her friends. After school. she REALLY REALLY wanted to go see the movie Toy Story 3 again! We tried to talk her into other really fun stuff but she insisted!!! How could we say no?! After the movie we picked up pizza, as requested by the birthday girl, and had cake at home followed by present opening! I think Laynee had a great day!

So I am NOT a cake maker. They always turn out a mess! But Laynee asked for a ladybug cake and that sounded easy enough, so I agreed. Here is what it looked like...

Laynee was thrilled....

But this is what it looked like when we got home from the movie theater...

Oye!!!!

I can't belive my 'baby" is 4! It's just not fair!!! She was the easiest baby. I swear I feel like she was born just yesterday as I remember the details so clearly!

Sears Family Summer 2010

Dance!!!

The girls had their first dance class at their new dance studio this afternoon! They had so much fun and I am very impressed with the studio. They are going to be dancing at a Diamondbacks game at the end of the month! Isn't that fun?! I can't wait! And don't these girls look cute?! I had the tutus and tutu bags (with their name embroidered on them) made for them for a birthday gift!

Three girls....one FUN party!

Every year we have just one joint party for all three of the girls. This year we decided to do the party at McDonalds and their gym. We almost had a swim party but I am so glad we didn't because it poured all day! Plus, the girls told me this was the best birthday party ever. That is all that matters!!! So we started at McDonald's for some play, food and present opening....

Then we headed across the street to My Gym for more play, games, and cake....

Kyler spent most of the party upside down! lol

Makenzie can do some impressive head stands!

Then the Shamu swing, which the girls agreed was their favorite part of the party (with cake and presents being close behind!).....

And the mommies couldn't be left out. But he made it go much faster and higher for us. It was fun! And a little scary! We nearly lost Amie off the the back!

Then they had a birthday march for the girls. It was so cute! They dressed them up and then carried them in like royalty while playing "Isn't she lovely." The girls smiled and waved at their friends. Priceless!!!

The kids being super sily....

And super cute....

And then it was time for the zip line which is another one of the girls' favorites....

Cake time. The cake was the shape of a monkey to match the gym mascot. It was super cute!!!

Now you have to check out the video that Scott made in the next post. It is so cute! He did a great job!
