Happy Birthday to ME!

My family surprised me at snack time with cupcakes for my class!

And Fire Chief Harrison helped hand them out to my friends:

They were delicious :)

Harrison not only gave out cupcakes, he entertained my teachers and friends too!

Now to go to the restaurant of my choice for my birthday dinner - need you even wonder - of course I picked Waffle House like always!  And I got a storm trooper from Harrison!

And of course we aggravated Daddy until he tickled us!

This is what FIVE looks like!

Our First Rodeo!

To end my party day with a bang, we met up with the Agan family in Newnan to go to our first rodeo.  We met at La Parilla and played in the tree out front while waiting on a table:

We finally got a table and then devoured 2 bowls of queso in under 4 minutes.  We were quite proud of ourselves:

And then it was off to the rodeo - we were mesmerized - we had never seen anything like it:

And to end the night, we pulled this little stunt:

We got her good!

Birthday Party Day!

Happy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday party day to me!!!!

I can't wait to eat some cookie cake!

I'm going to get my wish!

I wished for cookie cake!!  (kidding):

I CANNOT WAIT THE SUSPENSE IS TOO MUCH:

I even licked the bottom of the decorations:

Time for presents:

One of the best things about my party day is that we got to meet Angel and Nadira - the awesome kids that Uncle Jeremy & Aunt Lucy's are adopting!  We have to wait until they are "officially" adopted from foster care before we can show their face in pictures online, but they were there and we loved them instantly!!

Harrison and Angel playing with one of my new birthday toys:

After everyone else left the party, we went in the backyard and played.  I instantly took to Nadira and we walked around the yard and chatted:

Then we broke out the chalk so we could draw on the fence:

And my awesome big brother drew a heart with an 'A' in the middle - we already love Angel & Nadira so much and are excited to have them as a part of our family!!!

Kindergarten Prep Graduation!

Walking out looking cute and proud:

Taking my turn at the mic - I told everyone what school I was going to for Kindergarten, and that I wanted to be "a police" when I grow up:

Happy that I aced the speaking part:

When I got fidgety, I curled up in my seat:

Luckily, big brother was making me laugh while sitting in Mama's lap:

My class and my awesome teachers!

Quick break for family pics:

After some snacks and a slideshow, it was time to go eat with Papa & Bebe - YAY!!!  And just take a look at what is happening behind me...

Happy Mother's Day!

We decided to make Mama a "surprise party" for Mother's Day by drawing a bunch of pictures and hanging them around her room and by her bed - and it worked because she was surprised and she loved it!

Then we took a trip up to Chestatee Wildlife Preserve to spend the afternoon with some animals we hadn't met yet - and it was awesome!  We started by talking to these guys for a while:

And then visited some turkeys and emus - look at my face when I spotted one hustling over to us!

These guys were probably our favorites - we picked tons of grass and let them eat from our hands and they walked beside us all up and down this fence:

We loved these parrots too - they were so talkative and we had some interesting conversations with them!

Checking out the tiny alligator:

And taking a swing break before lunch:

Lunch!
