Today was Natali's big day. She is officially 6! WOW. We had a fun packed day. It started early with french toast and off to swim lessons. After swim lessons we went to a friends swimming pool...unfortunately that pool was closed. So we loaded back up and headed to ANOTHER friends pool...that pool was closed till 2 for cleaning TOO! So we settled on a local splash pad. (apparently I'd ruined Natali's birthday, or so I was told) We ate lunch and played with friends while staying cool in the shade & water. We went home, got Spency down for a nap, and I let Natali finish opening her presents. After naps I tried to redeem myself and I took the kids back to the pool. This time we actually got in and did some swimming. The kids were anxious to show off her their "new" swimming skills. We were all pretty hungry after all that swimming so we picked up Happy Meals, ate picnic style at home while watching a movie. Followed up by cake, reading new books, and getting ready for bed. It was a GREAT day. Only bummer was that Ben didn't get to spend any of it with us, out the door at 6am and home at 9pm. Happy Birthday to my sweet red headed Natali Lynn! You made me a mom, you keep me on my toes, adn I love you!
"Mom, I want a chocolate cake with pink frosting and a crown on top." Sorry sweetie...that's the best I got!
Little brothers were eager to help open presents and celebrate the special day!
Both sporting new "summer" buzzes. Natali actually on her own accord offered to let each boy open one of her presents for her. Sweet girl.
New rain boots (funny since in NEVER rains here), but she LOVES them!
We LOVE books around here.
Birthday cake, birthday cake, birthday cake!

WOO HOO! So glad she had a fantastic day! You're the hero and saved it front being tragically ruined! (lol...don't you LOOOOVE the dramatic conversations that take place at this age?!)
SUCH FUN! And I am dying to hear how you like Goldilicious...worth buying?
She is adorable. I love the fancy party too!
Happy Birthday Natalee! I love the cake and "Mcdonald's picnic" idea. Sorry I took part in almost "ruining" her birthday. We will have to try again when my kids are healthy and my pool is actually open!
I still can't believe Natali is 6!!!! You are such a cute mom. Sounds like her birthday couldn't have gone any better, especially picnic style McDonalds. Doesn't get much better than that. And her cake was adorable. Good job Becca!
