Happy 6th Birthday Makayla

Makayla Marie is 6 years old today!!!

Our little girl is all growed up!!! I can't believe that you are six years old. Whew!!

It seems like yesterday you were born?? I remember how sweet you were as a baby, you were so mellow, quiet, you hardly cried and when you did it was so soft, you slept through the night from the day you came home from the hospital. You were blessed with such a sweet spirit. Daddy and I knew from the moment we met you that you were special and were going to be so loving with everyone. You have a smile that is so contagious, you can't help but smile back! Throughout these years Daddy and I have watched you grow and blossome into a very lovely little lady. Not only are you funny and love to joke around but you also have a sense of your surroundings. You always know when someone needs a hug, a laugh or a Makaylaism. I swear you're turning 40 for how grown up you talk and act. Daddy and I have been so blessed to be given such a sweet little girl, you are an awesome daughter and the best big sister. We love you so much and can't wait to see what great and amazing things you will accomplish! Happy Birthday Little Lady!

MOTHER DAUGHTER NIGHT-BEACH PARTY

Makayla's school had this on Friday night. It was so much fun! I love doing stuff like this with my girls. The girl in the middle is our friend Molly, her mom couldn't come that night so she went with us. They taught us to Hula, played volleyball with beachballs, made flowers to go in our hair, had sherbet icecream with a chocolate dipped coconut cookie (yum), and had pictures done with a beach background. I almost forgot about it till an hour before and I was scrambling to find something beach or hawaiian, so I ran to the dollar store and bought some fake flowers and got some lei's. I tore the flowers apart and put a bobby pin through them and did each of the girls hair. You can't see Ellies, her pony tail is on the other side with the flower in it and she wouldn't wear her lei. And then I was frantically looking for something beachy and hawaiian to wear...I found two dresses that had palmtrees and such and some shorts that were hawaiian, and a grass skirt and tried to make the best of it..each girl has a piece of what I found...hahahaha not bad for really last minute!!! We had a blast!

Showing off their new flowers they made. Ellie wouldn't put hers on..it was to big she said..and you can't see it but she wrapped her lei around her ankle cause it was to big for her neck to! Kayla's lei ended up around her wrist and then they handed out plastic ones and that ended up around her ankle to..funny girls..already into fashion, what they think will look better!! haha

Here are the girls learning to Hula..I tried really hard to not giggle while I was taping this, Ellie is so serious about learning and Kayla is just doing it..They are so different..
