The day she turned 2,191 days old...

Caitlin has had a big month!! As of her birthday (which was May 7th)---She was officially 2191 days old (I think we have only had one leap day since she was born) or in other words 6 YEARS OLD! I cannot believe it has already been six years. Time really does fly when you are having fun.

My friend Kari helped me with her birthday cake (actually 2 cakes) the evening before the party. I baked all 6 of the cakes (you will see pics of the inside of the cake on the party post and you will see why I baked 6 different cakes) on Thursday so all we had to do Friday evening was to stack the layers and ice the cakes. Kari is a perfectionist and what I thought would take 1 hour turned into a very very late evening.

Kari makes me laugh because she made about enough icing that night to cover a football field and it was just for 2 round layered cakes. She would put icing on and then pretty much scrape it off because she was not happy with the look. :)

Here is Miss Kari several hours into the icing epidemic...

 Here I am just wanting to get the cakes over with, I am not a perfectionist and thought my handwriting on the cake was just fantastic (even if it was off-centered).

Dots ALWAYS make everything look better

This is the cleanest the counter looked all night. This picture makes it look like we are very neat when we bake but that is definitely not the case.

 We were feeling a bit goofy by this point in time.

You would never notice the "Happy" was off-centered because I put a smiley face on the cake. ***See Kari, to correct icing mistakes just put a smiley face and everything looks great. :)

Here is the perfect cake- this is the one we showed off at the party.

The girls were helping us at the beginning and crashed... so we decided to have a sleep over.

After we spent 5 hours decorating her cake(s) for her birthday party she decided she wanted to go out for a big breakfast. Following in Kate Middleton's footsteps she decided she wanted needed to wear her princess crown, earrings, and fabulous necklace to breakfast. Everyone oohed and aahhed over her jewels at the restaurant.

They always know how to take a good picture...

When we got home the mailbox was literally bursting at the seams with presents and cards for Miss Caitlin

Caitlin's cousin Jonah (he is 2) made this card all by himself.

He also picked out the jewelry and a zooble

Jackpot!!

She had an awesome day! I will do another post with the birthday party on it- it was a blast.

Breezy pants

Have you ever wondered what breezy pants are?

STEP 1: Take a normal woman and dress her in radical white linen pants.

STEP 2: Add wind and a sexy model stance and there you have it... BREEZY PANTS!!!

This post is dedicated to Miss Kari and her awesome breezy pants. I hope the two of you have fun on your  vacation at... Mountain Home :)

There is a spider in my castle...

Let me paint the picture of my household tonight...

• My hubby is the yard working really really hard to make my little princess (and me) happy. When he got home from work he immediately went out to our pool and started prepping it for the season. Last night he filed it up and today he had to let some of the water out to clean it (therefore making our entire yard a BIG mud puddle)
• My two dogs have been running in and out of the house and meanwhile my kitchen floor has turned into a new shade of brown from all of the mud they have splattered everywhere. They now look like they are wearing brown boots.
• Caitlin is sitting in the living room "teaching" her baby dolls and the poor dogs (that are not allowed to leave there desks). She also has brought out her "castle tent" that has been hiding behind her headboard for the last year.

The next turn of events went like this...

Caitlin ran outside and screamed DADDY, THERE IS A SPIDER IN MY CASTLE!!!

Aaron runs inside soaking wet and grabs a paper towel and without hesitation went to her "castle" and got the spider.

Ahh, another evening of bliss in our household. My fav part is the fact that he did not even question what castle she was talking about. 

Mom, when will I get my butt?

My daughter is a very petite girl. She is a really good mixture of myself and my hubby. When I was her age, I was petite (I wish I still was but that is just life). My hubbys family is also petite.

Anyways, the other day Caitlin, my mom, and I were shopping at a kids resale event and out of nowhere Caitlin asks me

"Mom, when will I get my butt?"'

Haha!!! Women, we are never happy... we always want what we don't have.

Tuesday.

If you give your trust to someone who does not deserve it, you actually give them the power to destroy you.

That is my major thought for the day. Needless to say, I did not have a great day at work.

The End.
