HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS P!!

How can it be that my baby has to use two hands for her age now:( Her Birthday was kind of fly by the seat of your pants this year. We got home from Myrtle Beach the night before and I was truly just not ready for it, which is soooo unlike me. I love and I mean love throwing parties we had all these grand ideas for her then reality hit me and I knew I needed to eliminate something or I was going to explode (mind you I was heading into surgery the next day) So my sweet...sweet Peyton the morning of her Birthday I said can "we invite 4 friends and go do a spa day" she happily accepted and we were off. Even though that was the easiest and quickest Birthday party I still have guilt and will NEVER do that again, they only want Birthday Party's for so long.

 Birthday morning waking up with the "birthday blanket"

 I also redid her room for her Birthday.

I am of course not 100% done but she LOVED it and that's all that matters.

 I love, love, love the bookcases (thanks to my Dad) and the bench seat

I still need to find bigger baskets so you don't see all her clothes

 I love this tree as well

 She requested Waffles and chocolate milk

Don't worry about her make-up she got a kit for her Birthday and she wanted to "look beautiful"

PARTY TIME

 We stopped at the good old Mickey D's for lunch

 Breann and Peyton

 Peyton and Kam

(We missed Hailey she had School)

 Annie, Peyton and Mylie

 After a hard day of playing we of course had to end it with ice cream

SPA TIME

 The girls waiting oh so patiently for their pedicures

 I loved this picture of these two...just totally checking themselves out in the mirror

 Rough life getting pampered

MYRTLE BEACH

My Mom planned one last vacation before Kendall leaves on his mission. We had an amazing time..relaxing,  swimming, laying out, boogie boarding, eating, shopping and enjoying a tropical storm one day. 

 Myrtle Beach here we come!!

 The view from our balcony was AMAZING!!

 The first couple of days were FREEZING, so of course we had to have new matching sweatshirts

BOOGIE BOARDING

 Working the waves

 MINI GOLF

Their Mini Golf courses are nothing like we have here

 Caleb and Dad ready to putt

 Grammy and Peyton

Me and Peyton got a Hole in One 

Then both my sisters got a Hole in One...so needless to say girls ruled this hole

 One day Quinn went running and he called my phone and 

told me and Peyton to come look out the balcony. I'm thinking "oh sweet Quinn did something cute for me"....nope just writes his Princess's name in the sand.

So the next day my Sisters were  nice and wrote this in the sand

"WE LOVE U KELLI"

(even if Quinn doesn't)

 One day a HUGE storm rolled in and my awesome, smart husband decided that he out of the 1,000+ other people, or even lifeguards, who would not even go out in this storm was going to go out and catch some "sick waves". He quickly found out that the ocean will win the fight every time and lets just be grateful Quinn is here today.

WE PLAYED IN THE SAND

 Tackle Football

 

 They buried Caleb and gave him some "extra parts"

  Princess was content just doing her own thing and NOT getting buried

 We hit up some great restaurants

 Went shopping

RIPLEY'S AQUARIUM

 We came in very close...too close for me contact with sharks

 Peyton wasn't such a fan of it either unless she was in Daddy's arms

 Caleb LOVED every second of it and wanted to touch every creature known to man kind

 I'm fascinated by Jellyfish

 We even watched "real" mermaids 

NIGHTTIME BEACH WALKING

 Every one decided to go crab hunting one night. So we just told Peyton "we were going for a walk" Then she came within 10ft of one and her life was over and she lost it. Only problem is we were at least a mile back to our condo.  So I promised her crabs only like water so we decided to walk more in the sand but of course one dumb crab has too run right in front of Peyton on her foot. So needless to say I think she woke everyone up with her scream and the best part her screaming/bawling "I hate crabs, I never want them" at least me and Quinn got a good kick out of her. :)

 Caleb was in heaven and even held one

 We found a really cool seashell to try and take her mind off of the Crabs

 Luckily Daddy came to the rescue and carried her back home, once we hit land she was a happy camper.

 Showing Peyton our room

 The gorgeous pool at night

 Our treasures we found

SWIMMING TIME

 Obviously the sun was a little bright

 Just hanging out

PIRATE ADVENTURE 

Last night there we went to a real cool live Pirate themed show. The kids were mesmerized by everything and their favorite part was the live Seal who break danced.

Picture is crappy but it really was a cool show...highly recommended
