Mani Pedi Birthday Party

For Avery's 6th Birthday I decided to try a party at our house. This is the first year, I have always done something at a different place. I was trying to be thrifty and thought I could seriously do this cheaper and easier. UMMMM NO!! I had to clean my house twice, once before and then once after. I bought a bunch of stuff to do hair and nails, and paid some students to come over and help. By the end it was almost the same as some of the places we had been in the past, where I did not have to clean up, make a cake, or buy goodie bags!! I have decided it is better to go somewhere else :) I love just leaving and coming home to a clean house :)

We did have a great time with 16 little 6 year olds getting their hair and nails done.

Happy Birthday Avery! Avery at her Kinder class...she got to where a crown for the day!
Even Marley got to be invited to the party!

I love all the pink hair!

Birthday Girl!

Best part is opening the presents!

Happy Birthday Avery!

My sweet, sweet, little Avery. She is one of the nicest little girls around. She tries soo hard to be a great friend and person. Avery is a great big sister and she is Marley's little idol. Avery has been a complete joy. I cannot believe it has been 6 years that she has been in our lives. It makes me sad that the time has gone by soo fast. I love spending time with her and we are now having great conversations. She has recently started having a little attitude and thinking for herself, which sometimes is not fun :) It has been soo much fun to watch her grow from a fat little baby into a kind and thoughtful little girl. Avery, your daddy and mommy love you soo much!

HOCKEY!!

Troy is on an adult Hockey team, where all of his old Steelhead teamates and himself play a couple of games through out the year. It is fun to get out of town and support Dad. We had a great time in Sun Valley. We went tubing saw a couple of games (never made it through a whole one...sorry Troy). We had a great time seeing old friends!!

PS. All of the players decided to grow mustache's. They looked like a bunch of 1970's guys out there on the ice. Thank goodness that thing is gone now!!
