I have picked certain years that my kids get to have big birthday parties ( friends, decorations, etc.). So this is Jessy's first big party....Her 5
th birthday! I decided to be a little bit better and actually theme her party. Poor Kaitlyn has the oldest child syndrome, I try everything out on her. Anyways the theme was "Under the Sea".
I had Kate invite a little too many friends last year and I was a little overwhelmed so we kept it to how ever old you are is how many you invite. She was really excited for all her gifts that she got (yeah more teeny tiny toy pieces to clean up).
When she as done opening all her presents I sent them all on a treasure hunt to find the
goodie bags. I had typed up these clues and decided to make them look like "real old" clues. So I got my BBQ lighter to help authenticate these clues. Yeah, so computer paper burns really, really fast and when you have a large flame trying to blow it out doesn't work ( sorry I was
blonde when I was younger). Thank heavens I was by the kitchen sink for a quick extinguish. I think I
singed my eyebrows though; I hope they'll grow back!
In the
goodie bags were these earrings so I lined everyone up to show off their earrings. It kind of turned into a goofy pic. I guess some of them thought I was taking a mug shot!
Don't gasp in awe, I did not make this cake. I did that last year with Kaitlyn's and this year I thought better of it. Jessy totally loved this cake, it was really cute and yummy too (Ryan really enjoyed the yummy part)!
FYI: I now have two 5 year
olds and they are
not twins! What a fun thought!
It's a boy! Yes, we finally have a boy in the house. We named him Casper. He is so cute and sweet when he is sleeping! 
He loves to play with all of the girl's toys............okay, okay so this was our first cat. I guess there is a reason we have no boys in this house. Our little Casper was kind of crazy. After we had him for a few days we figured out that he really didn't like to be petted. We tried to hold him and all he would do is bite us. I know that kittens like to bite and play a lot but my gosh we couldn't sit down without being attacked. I remember seeing Nicole running for her life with Casper nipping at her feet; that was the last straw. I marched over to my neighbors house(that's where we got the kitten from) and picked a different kitten. I decided to be safe and pick a girl, sorry Ry! Here is our new kitten......Jasmine
As you have noticed Ryan loves to tease our little kitten and put her into various objects.....okay so I am guilty of laughing too. Jasmine is a little bit more mild mannered. While she does like to play she seems to know the difference between us and our girls. It's a little hard to get used to having a pet in the house though. Sometimes I wonder if she likes to be stepped on or kicked across the room. And the attacking us at the bottom of the stairs...there's some awesome jumps and leaps going on in our house. I'm sure there will be many more blogs to come with our new family pet!
