Iley's School Party ~ 6th Birthday

I dropped the girls off at school at 12:30 and forgot to ask the teacher what time snack time was.  I ran to the grocery, and then stopped by to see Ellas new paint job in her living room.  She was just headed to our house so she followed me home.  We got there around 1:20ish.......I messed around rounding stuff up and stirring up the dip......then i thought I better text the teacher and ask her what time I should be there for Iley's party.  She had already text me....it was 1:31 when I checked~ we were supposed to be there by 1:55.......YIKES!!  Poor Ella, she had barely walked in and I start asking her...can you put the fruit dip in these little cups, and cut the bananas, while I cut up the apples....and go along and take pictures...Bless her heart, she was great help!  We dashed around then ran out the door....  and made it just as they were lining up to come in from recess....whew!

I think Iley had fun, she was much more subdued at school than she was at home on her own turf, but she seemed to enjoy it.  Wren on the other hand acted like she was being rejected and forgotten.  I showed her her school party pictures today, and then Iley's.....hopefully that helped.

Singing Happy Birthday.

Checking out what's in the prize box........she couldn't decide what she wanted!  She remembered exactly what Wren got.....and there wasn't anymore......This girl doesn't forget details!  She kept asking me where the bag of candy was.....I forgot that I brought tootsie rolls to Wrens party.

....just pick something already!

Wren still feeling a bit sad....we made sure she was in the picture too.

That seemed to help a little.

The whole class...minus one or two I think.

Poor Shaylee.....she wasn't allowed to have any milk products....which was everything but the apples and bananas.  The girls both wanted her drink though!

This girlie loves bananas!........and giraffes.

Iley's cute little blonde friend.

More please!

They dipped their chips in the fruit dip......??

Mrs. Betz, Iley and Me

Miley and Wren

Love that she's looking at books!  What a world will be opened to her when she learns to read!

Bye, time for mom and Ella to go now.

at least she's smiling now!

Pictures were all compliments of Ella:)  I took a couple when we first got there, there was even one of Ella.....but she had a funny look, and her eyes were closed so I didn't post it.....you're welcome El:)  See you don't need to fear my camera:)

Happy 6th Birthday Iley!

We have been counting down the days till her Birthday since Wren had her party.  Every day we crossed off a day on the calendar so she could see it getting closer.  This girl totally gets what a birthday is all about......CAKE and PRESENTS and ME!  She was adamant about wanting a green cake with giraffes......a Daddy giraffe, a Mommy giraffe, and a Baby giraffe. 

 ......and while NO this wouldn't make pintrest......Iley was happy with it.

The guest list:

Mom, Dad, Harrison, Sherman, Wren and of course.....ILEY

Thatcher and Kyndahl, and  "Aunt" Suzy

Grandpa and Grandma Deaton (Grandma was sick with sinus junk and couldn't come:(  missed you Gma)

Uncle Lane, Aunt Lucy, Evie, Grace and Hans

Isaac 

Ash and Ella were in Ohio visiting her family. Missed you guys too!

The Kid Table

Singing Happy Birthday.....She was so excited all evening!  Poor Wren, when she tried to blow the candles out before we even sang, got so hurt/embarrased when we all said no no no, it's Iley's turn.  She got over it quickly and was sure to get in on licking the cool whip off the giraffes feet.

The cake was truly Green!  Jello cake.

 I have 2 videos of her opening her gifts but they would probably take an hour each to load, so no go.
Somewhere between cake and opening gifts Wren threw up!  Right behind Thatcher....who does NOT deal well with throw up.LOL  She has been super crabby all day, and just not herself.  She was sick at her party too!  Poor baby.   Once she "got it out of her system" she went on to play half halfheartedly..... and so far.....hasn't done it again.

Puting puzzles together with 'aunt' Suzy and Kyn. 

Both girls love Ike, and all their big brothers!  They are all so patient with them.......

........and let them use their phones......which they LOVE.....and are scarily adept at.........

 Gotta love the hair! But look at that cute little lip and hand:)

.......and they LOVE rough housing with the big bro's too!

Pardon the belly show.....

Iley LOVED this!  I can't imagine trusting someone enough to let them do this to me!

 The elusive Harrison.

 love those dimples...chin and cheeks;)

Love em all!

They were all watching Harrison play a game on the computer.


Ike and Thatcher were making fun of the girls on facebook!  At first Ike said, "I refuse to do that pose!"  But Thatch talked him into it they could neither one keep a straight face though!

Iley HAD to be in the picture with them.....I think it's so sweet how she's holding both their hands.......look how tiny her hands look in their big ones:)  They don't even think about it, they just go with it......sweet boys.

Wren was wilting by this point, and was latched on to Aunt Suzy in the other room....Harrison was reading a book.

Iley had so much fun being the center of attention!  She hammed it up, and was her usual dramatic silly self.........amped.  I should have bought her the shirt I saw with a llama wearing a crown.....it said "Don't feed the Drama Llama!"   But........when I was tucking her in bed I asked her if she had a fun birthday and she said "YES!!!!! Thang you SOooooo much"  You're SO SO welcome sweet Baby girl. Love these precious Asian Beauties!  Days like this, and times like that (well minus the puke) make all the HARD days worth it:)
