Birthday girl!

What a fun birthday week Caylin had! It started off with performing at the Fair. Caylin has been anxiously awaiting the day to wear her costume. I hadn't ever seen her get into the dance she was going perform so I imagined she'd get on stage and just kind of stand there, but I was wrong. She knew more of the dance than I thought...and couldn't get enough of being on stage! (as soon as I figure out how to post the video off the camera I will).


After performing and coming home for lunch and naps, we headed back out to the Fair to party with buddy Kaylee. Aiana came along with some friends and hit up the big kid rides while we stayed over in kiddyland. The girls had a blast together. It was a perfect way to spend the day.



















































At the end of the week we had a Teddy Bear Picnic party. All our friends brought their fuzzy friends to dance and sing with. Mr. Will was there to entertain and give wagon rides...which ended in the kids giving him a ride!







































































































I always say this, but time goes by so fast! I can't believe only one more year until Caylin is a "school age" kid! But as Caylin told me when I told her to stop growing "You don't control me, mom, God does and I'm getting bigger", I have to just slow down as much as I can and take it all in. The good and the bad, in the end, (most) memories appreciate over time and I want to create tons with my babies.

Wow! What a fun birthday week! This is so, so belated---but, Happy, Happy 4th Birthday Caylin! Caylin is one of my most favorite kids of all time---seriously. I think she is beautiful, such a character, and so funny. I am not surprised she loved being on stage so much. I hope the next year goes a little more slowly for you. Great pictures, as always! :)
