Six Years Old



Yep - Anna and Adri are still donning crazy hair from school. Mars decided to take a bath and wash her hair so she didn't look silly at her party!!



The kids were so cute about the presents. They started all spread out but with each present they got closer and closer around Mariah and they were screaming and oohing and aahing about each present. They were as excited as she was!


Mariah is 6!!

All of our kids get a birthday party when they are either 5 or 6 so we planned a party the last day of school before spring break.

We did a cowboy/girl party and it turned out really fun.

We ended up with more kids than we expected - 15 showed up - but the more the merrier right?!!!

We really need a bigger house! I love having parties, but this house is not the greatest for entertaining! Maybe next year!!

The kids dressed up like cowboys and we played some fun games like.....pin the star on the sheriff hat, pin drop in a cowboy boot, shotgun shooting, and we made some cute horse bag puppets.

We also had some western grub (hot dogs, beans...you know the stuff!) and the kids ate surprisingly well!




We celebrated her real birthday by going to Farr's for ice cream and playing wii with our family (Mariah's favorite thing to do). She also got to go out to lunch with just mom and dad.


What I love about Mariah at 6 years old:

Her toothless talking

So many questions

Always writing and sounding words out

Makes cards for everyone in the family every day

Loves to play games

Loves being with her whole family

So helpful

Wants to hold Lea ALL THE TIME

Adores her big brother


good things:
lots of friends & lots of presents!

twangy cowboy music (only during the party though)

helpful older children to make the party run smoother

I can't believe that she is already six! What a fun party. I love the crazy hair too.
