Sydney's Birthday

Here's a post that is definitely past due.  Sydney's birthday was on the 9th of March.  We had hyped up her birthday as much as we possibly could and boy was she excited when it finally got here.

The party started the night before Sydney's birthday when the kids helped Shawn mix the cake batter.


Then it was my turn.  I saw on a friend's Facebook page, a picture of this amazingly colorful birthday cake.  I decided to do that for Sydney and it turned out awesome!



On the morning of Sydney's birthday she got to open a couple of presents.


Shawn worked from home that day so he was able to spend the day with the birthday girl too, even though he still had to work.

I decorated the cake.


Then, everyone got bathed and we even did Sydney's hair, makeup, and nails.



Before leaving town, our friend Torren came over to ride with us and we picked up Shawn's Aunt Susie.  We headed to Kansas City to Shawn's parent's house.  As soon as we got there, Sydney was ready to open some presents.


We all went to one of our favorite mexican restaurants and the whole group was there.  Both Shawn's family and my family were there as well as our children's God Father Torren.





After dinner we went back to open more presents and do cake.






It was quite a birthday.  I think she had a good time.  She got to enjoy it with her family and friends.  She got lots of presents that included clothes, new bedding for her big girl bed, books, dolls, princess stuff, and dress up clothes.  My kids are completely spoiled by all of their loved ones.  And she had an awesome birthday cake, if I do say so myself.

Happy birthday to Sydney! It looks like it was a great one.

Super cool cake! What flavor was it?

Thank you. It was just yellow cake mix with vanilla frosting. You make the cake mix and separate it into multiple bowls and mix each bowl with food coloring, then pour it into the cake pan in different places, then run a knife through it a couple of times to really swirl the colors a little. Super easy and so cool.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
