We did things a bit different this year for Miss Ada Rae. We did the spanking machine a week prior to her special day because she insisted and all willing spankers were able and available. If you could have heard the squeals and laughter coming from Ada, so cute.
The spanking machine ended with Kyler flinging Ada around his shoulders. These two cousins have always been close. For the longest time, you would only find Ada on Kyler's shoulders. I love cousin bonding!!!
Gelsey also celebrates her birthday in June, so she went through the spanking machine as well.
As I stated in a previous post Ada wanted to sleep in for her birthday but unfortunately that wasn't able to be brought to furition with Sierra flying to Thailand on the same morning. Sorry Ada Rae, we will make it up to you. She wanted the tradition of hanging streamers from her bedroom door. Go BYU!
Happy Birthday Miss Ada Rae, can't believe you are already 5. Getting so big and we couldn't love you more.
We headed to the airport, said our goodbyes to Sierra, then dropped Teesh off at work and came home to begin the celebrating. I asked Ada if she would like to select her gifts or be surprised. She opted for choosing them. Teesh wanted to be a part of it so we waited until 2PM and Dad got off work and we headed out for an evening of dinner and shopping and whatever else birthday girl requested. I love this little spunky girl. She always keeps you on your toes. She is a spitfire of love and ambition. She knows what she wants and will go after her dreams. I have always felt like Ada has a special mission to fulfill on this earth as we almost didn't get to enjoy her. She unites our family. She keeps us smiling. She is a best friend to Bria, so loyal and loving.
We went shopping for a baby doll with a play pen. Birthday girl insisted she needed a "Calvin" similar to big sister Teesh. We recently learned that if bring in a birth certificate to prove its your bday, Denny's provides you with their Grand Slam Breakfast. With other coupons we obtained our family ate for less than $20, including tip. Rock Star!!!
Landon was fussy all through dinner. Ada had to stand and rock him constantly. She is a devoted mother. Landon is a lucky baby to have Ada to call his own. Don't you love the barrette in Ada's hair? She loves to do her own hair and it is always a pleasant surprise how it turns out.
Ada wanted blue cupcakes for her celebrating with rainbow ice cream. Teesh was a sweetie and made the cupcakes for us and decorated them as well.
Classic shot with star blankie making an appearance. Bria was flipping it around and Teesh caught it in the shot.
Ada struggled to blow out the candles so I am helping from a distance, if you care at all I did not help! ha ha
my photos are a bit out of order but hey, let's keep this situation real. We had our school uniform sale on Ada's birthday and then we headed to Mc Donalds for some delish food and playtime. It was awesome, for an hour we had the play land to ourselves, yay for birthday wishes.
We are on the birthday list at Toys R Us and if you go in they provide you with lots of stuff like a balloon, a cool crown, a bag of candy and Geoffery the Giraffe calls on the phone and sings to you.
Ada got some new wheels for the occasion and look a seat for Landon to follow behind. It was so cute to see her cruising the store. Ada really has very little fear, which is good and bad.
The final gift was matching car seats for the sisters. Every baby must be safe and be provided with entertainment and these lovelies do both. Best part, Ada can do the straps up herself, bonus!!!
because Sierra would not be around to celebrate, she had her own little photo shoot in our back yard. Sierra and her mini.
I can't believe you are 5, little one. I so remember finding out I was pregnant with you and then almost losing you and I can't believe it was 5 short years ago. Here's to new and exciting things like kindergarten and tumbling.
