Six Year Old Well Child Check-up

I can't believe my little girl is 6 years old already. It just blows my mind how quickly it has gone by!! I took her in for her well child visit yesterday and the Dr. says she is doing really well. She is 46 1/2 inches tall (75th percentile)!!! and she is 42 pounds (30th percentile)!! She has stayed right on her growth curve and is doing beautifully! She took her vision test and unfortunately failed it so we are going to have to take her to the eye doctor.  For her right eye it was 20/25 Left was 20/30 and both together was 20/25. I was really hoping that she would inherit my 20/16 vision but that's not the case! Darn it. It broke my heart to see her squinting trying to figure out what the letters said. Other than that she is doing great and I am so glad!! I love my little girl!!

My Second Vinyl Lettering Project

This is my second project. It's on my living room wall. I have been sifting through vinyl wall sayings and when I came across this one I just knew I had to do it! 

 

I am having so much fun with this machine!!

My First Vinyl Lettering Project

When my Mom came to visit she brought me an awesome surprise! She had won a Cricut Expressions Machine at a raffle and she decided that she would give it to me!! I am so excited!! There are so many fun things I can do with it including cutting vinyl to do vinyl lettering. My mom bought me some vinyl and a cutting mat so I could play with it. I have a whole list of sayings that I want to do. Here is my first project! I think it turned out great!

Kennadee's 6th Birthday part 2

The day after Kennadee's birthday we had a family party for her. She got to have all her Mildenstein cousins, Aunt Diana, Nannies, Grandpa Pete, Great Grandpa Mote, & Uncle Johnny. We had a house full that night. It was really fun.

Happy Birthday Kennadee!!

Kennadee's 6th Birthday Day One

Today is Kennadee's 6th Birthday! I can't believe it has already been six years! I also can't remember what life was like before I had her. She has been such a joy to our family and we are so excited to continue to watch her grow and learn. She is such a fun girl!

Since Kennadee loves Toy Story 3 so much and since she loves loves loves her Jessie Doll I decided to make these fun little "Jessie Hat" cookies to take to her class for her birthday. They were really fun to make and the kids loved them and recognized them as Jessie hats right away.

 My Mom and I went to have lunch with Kennadee at school today. We decided to bring Hannah and Nate as a fun surprise and to get them out of the house since they have been cooped up for the last couple weeks. Kennadee was so excited to see them at her school!!

 After lunch we brought the cookies to her class to share with the other kids. They sang Happy Birthday to her and then they chowed down. It was fun to be there for her first in school birthday!

 After school we let Kennadee open her presents. She was so excited to see everything she got. The big bling blue ring on her finger is from her friend Alexis in her class.

 Opening Presents from Grandma Eldredge. She got a diary, sticker book, coloring book, and a Barbie movie! (Daddy is so excited... LOL!!)

 Russell and I got her a Woody Doll and a Buzz Lightyear doll to go with her Jessie. She has been asking for them since Christmas and was so excited to finally get them! We also gave her some Toy Story 3 playing cards and some hair clippies.

 My Mom got her a set of Toy Story 3 figurines that I will be using on her cake tomorrow. She was so excited and has been playing with them all evening.

 This year Kennadee will be having a Family Party instead of a Friend party so since my Step-Dad, Grandpa, & my Brother will get here tomorrow we are going to wait until then to have her party. So we decided that she should at least blow out a candle on her birthday so she had an ice cream sundae with a candle!

 My camera was too slow to get her actually blowing out her candle so this is all I got. At least you can still see the smoke! LOL!!

I will post again tomorrow with pics of her actual cake and her party!

Happy Birthday Kennadee!!

We Love You!!

Valentine's Day 2011

The week before Valentine's Day my sister was doing a bunch of fun things for her family for Valentine's week so I stole a few ideas from her.

First we did a "Heart Attack" for Kennadee Russell and I put some things we love about her on hearts and stuck them on her door and in her room. She loved it!

 Since Kennadee is in Kindergarten now she got to make a box to take to school for her Valentine's party. She had fun putting stickers on it and coloring it.

 Proud of her work!

I got to go help in Kennadee's class for her party. She ate way too much sugar and wasn't feeling very well.

 Once it was time to pass out Valentine's she was super excited.

 Handing out her Valentine's

 Kennadee and her friend Cayde

 That's one full box of Valentines!!

R2-D2 Cake

It has become a tradition that I make the cake for my sister's kids' 8th Birthday parties. I did it for Sam and Patience and this year was no different. Gabe turned eight the other day and is having a Star Wars Birthday Party today so I decided to make him an R2-D2 cake. Thanks to Aubria we were able to pull it off!! I seriously couldn't have done it without her!! I forgot to take a picture after I put the final bit of rolled up fondant around the bottom so it doesn't look as finished in the pics but you get the gist! Happy Birthday Gabe!!
