Happy 6th Birthday Naomi

We celebrated Naomi's 6th birthday yesterday. She is so much fun to have as part of our family. Naomi is spunky, self-assured, creative, determined, adventuresome, a bit sneaky and ready to play all the time. To celebrate, Naomi took treats to daycare, then more treats to Kindergarten where they have a birthday song tradition of using the first letter of the birthday kids name to replace the first letter of every word in the birthday song, so the Kindergarten class sang "Nappy Nirthday No Nou!" to Naomi. She loved it.

After school it was hailing outside, so Naomi chose to watch a Scooby-Doo in Hawaii movie while eating her favorite meal, Kraft Mac and Cheese. We then went to Grandma and Grandpa Pitcher's house for a family party. We opened presents and had butterfly cake and Little Mermaid cake. It was fun to create a special day to celebrate Naomi!

Enjoying childhood

It's so fun to see kids just let loose and have fun. Here are a few shots of the kids enjoying life.

A few weeks ago we acquired Guitar Hero and Graysen has been absolutely loving it. No one at our house can come close to playing at his level. There have been some funny questions asked of Kory and me about "music when we were young", like "did people really jump all over the stage like that?", "did people really break their guitars by slamming them on the stage?", "did people really dress like that?" all of which were answered in the affirmative.

Naomi has been perfecting her head stand. Now she has moved on to cartwheels, but those are harder to capture with the camera.
Naomi and I went to Disney Princesses on Ice with her cousin Stephanie. They loved the magic of Disney and I'll admit that it was much better than I was expecting!

(yes, the crown does light up and yes, hundred of crowns were flashing all through the show) Thank you to Kelli for the crowns and the fun trip to SLC!
