Kaiya's 7th Birthday Party

 Kaiya celebrated her 7th birthday today with friends . . . yes, a full two and a half weeks after her birthday!! She woke up this morning and was a little concerned. She asked, "Mom, are you still coming to the party because you are sick?" My response was, "Kaiya, who came to your dance recital after giving birth to sister, when she was suppose to still be in the hospital?? Who came to your 1st grade program when she was sick and really really needed to be in bed?" She responded, "You."  I then asked, "Kaiya, Mom will ALWAYS be where you need her, because you and Kaelani are the most important to me, even if they wheel me in on a stretcher I will be there for you girls." Oh how I really just wanted to rest today . . . but I didn't!! I didn't even go to the party with my hair in a pony, no make-up, and comfy clothes . . . why??  Well, I have a little girl, who just turned 7 that has expressed, "I like you better when you do your hair and wear make-up." So, I got myself all dolled up so Kaiya would like it better just for her birthday!! I love her honesty!!

Needless to say, she had a blast!! It was a busy day, she had a swim party early this afternoon for one of her best friends birthday, and then hers!! She invited 15 friends and 11 friends were able to come. I think all the girls had a great time!!

Coach Kaysie (taught Kaiya swimming since she was 16 months old), Kaiya, ?, and Nick, helped the party be EASY for me and FUN for Kaiya!!!

I believe this would be considered HORSE/COWGIRL oriented party #4 of 7!!

Happy Birthday!!

She blew each candle out individually, I think she thinks if she does that she gets 7 wishes!
