Another Birthday Girl Bash and More Pics!!!!! UPDATED!!!!!

Happy 12th Birthday to our Big girl!!!! It is hard to believe that Trinity is now 12 years old.....my goodness where has the time gone???? I wish she time would slow down, they all seem to be growing up so fast. So we have finally made it through the month of February and YES we had our very BIG Birthday Party Bash. A total of 17 girls not including our own kids were here at our house and 10 of them ended up staying the night. Plus my good friend Dana from Olympia was staying here with her 2 month old daughter, my sister and also Alicia and my dear friend Tammy. I started with the idea for the party to make cupcakes and to decorate them all with flowers etc., but then Dana came up with the idea of having the girls in different age/grade groups get around the table and have them decorate their own cupcakes themselves. Which was a BIG hit. I set up a lot of things for them to put on their very own cupcake. It was a lot of fun but thank goodness it is over. The sleeping arrangements were fun in itself. We had bodies everywhere!!!! Little girls "k" grade in the girls room, 6-8 grade in the boys room which was very nice of Tristian to clean it up and move out to the cot so that the girls could have their own space, and then my sis on our couch, Dana and baby on the blow up mattress and Zachie in bed with us. It was crazy. Not to sure if I'm doing that again next year.....LOL As you all now we have had a very busy month with my parents and my niece came and visited. That was so great to see them. It had been way to long. Then the following week was Michelle and Hailey and stayed for a few days. I LOVED having them, it was a lot of fun looking through yearbooks and wondering what happened to everyone (besides the ones on facebook/myspace). Getting together with Alicia was a blast as well....playing games, listening to music and acting like fools. Loved it!!!! I can only hope that you don't wait 2 years to come out again Shell Bell....LOL. Then after Shell was Dana and her new baby girl Karysn and the birthday party. We had good times and we loved all the company!!! Here are some pictures of this last month.

Girls Skate Night

So last night was the girls schools skate night at the local skating rink here. Here are a few pictures of them having fun.

Miss Savannah strutting herself around.

Miss Trinity with her big ol' smile.
The two of them grooving.

They had a ton of fun and this morning when they woke up for school they had sore legs. But I know for a fact that they would go back today if they could!

And a hat to match......

Here is the second crochet project I did today, the hat to match the scarf. I started out making this all for Zachie first but the hat didn't turn out boyish enough...lol It turned out more like Strawberry Shortcake hat so now it's Sierra's. So I have decided to make all the girls scarves and hat's first then I will by that time hopefully figured out how to make a boys hat. Wish me luck.

My 10yr old teacher......

I started this last night after watching my 10 year old crocheting for awhile now. Our neighbor Paula had shown her how to because they are both left handed and I am right plus I didn't remember how to crochet so I wasn't much help. Well I have been wanting to start making things and doing things as a family where me and the girls could have fun. So last night she taught her mom yes me how to crochet. So I am making a scarf for who I don't know yet. And once Trinity showed my Savannah our 7 yr old wanted to learn and she is left handed to so it was pretty easy for Trinity to teach her. Trinity is the biggest helper there is and has the biggest heart. My plan this year for Christmas is to make each one of my kids something that I have made by hand, either by crocheting or the fleece blankets and matching pillows I make. Money is pretty tight this year because of my health so we'll see what happens. I'll keep you all up to date with what I make.
