Happy Birthday to Me!

Hi everybody!

Today is my birthday!! I am now three years old!

Yesterday we had my birthday party and boy did I have fun. It was a princess party -- I had a princess hat and mommy made me a a princess cake. We went to the state park and had bbq hamburgers and hot dogs and played in the water park. It was great fun as you can see by all the pictures, in spite of the rain.

Almost all my cousins came to my party -- so did alot of my aunts, uncles, and my grandparents (all those who did not have to work!). We have a pretty big family so that is a lot of people!

My aunt Michelle and uncle Mark brought a princess pinata and we all took a turn hitting it. In this picture you can see my brother Garrett giving me tips on how to hit the pinata.

Everyone sang happy birthday to me. Then my cousin Bethany and all my family dared me to put my face in the cake and eat it.



When I wouldn't do it, Daddy, and then Bethany put icing on my face. I returned the favor to Bethany and we had a cake icing face painting contest with each other.


It sure was funny. Below is a picture of my brothers enjoying my birthday cake.


Afterward we all played in the waterpark. Everyone had fun running through the water. My brother Garrett is waiting for the bucket of water to dump on his head!

We climbed on the frog and turtle. In this picture my cousin Regis and I were playing with the turtle.


Then I got into a watergun fight with some of my cousins. We shot at each other with the big water guns.

Then we all went to the play ground and played on the slides. After all that I was pretty tired and needed a little rest break. Nothing like a great big daddy hug when you've been partyin' all day!

The last picture I have to share with you is one of me and my cousins who were able to come to my party. I told you I have a big family!!

Today I go to Hope Lodge with mommy. We will be staying there for the next four weeks because I have to have radiation treatments everyday. Daddy and brothers will come and visit me and mommy during the week, and we get to go home on the weekends. I promise to give you updates on how things are going.

Thank you Jesus for healing me.
Love and kisses to you all!
