Brilee's Birthday Party

My little princess is about to turn 5!! Can't even believe it, but 5 is a big one so we had a big party, underwater style!

I had so much fun decorating for it, seriously, so much fun, what in the world did we do before Pinterest?!?!

My friend taught me how to do the rosettes, I think they turned out pretty cute

 I had another friend make the dinglehopper cakepops, they were super cute too
 The girls had table settings
 I just think this was so cute, I hope Brilee loved it

 My almost 5 year old

 Everything was ocean themed - Sea stars (watermelon) drift wood (pretzels) sea foam (popcorn) crab legs (carrots) sea cucumber (cucumber slices) crabs (sandwhiches) coral (rock candy)
 And then we also had ocean punch and ocean water
 But the highlight - Ariel came!
 Pretty princess got her face painted
 Brilee and her bestie Bria
 This handsome dude thought Ariel was pretty special
 Brennar and Eli, not so much - shouldn't have invited them silly boys!
 She was wonderful, seriously, the way she talked and sang
 and danced
 Brilee's princess ceremony





 I sure hope this princess remembers this party for years to come, I put so much into it and I think she noticed:)  Happy Birthday to my one and only princess!

My favorites

 These kids are the best, so lucky they are mine




Stapp Family Pictures

 For Christmas last year I gave Art and Debbi a gift card to get our family pictures done with our awesome photographer. These are all of my very favorites, but I don't think there was any bad ones:)



















Trip to MN

Brilee, Brexten and I made a trip out to MN for my cousins wedding mid-July.  We had the best time.

We were delayed about 90 minutes on the way out, but we made the most of it, by getting snacks, Factiming our brothers and buying presents:)

Brilee enjoys taking selfies...
...and pictures of whatever she can find
Brilee has a thing for the gymnasts in the Olympics, so she was excited to find this
She was so beautiful at the wedding
And I was sure lucky to get this dapper dude as my date
Brilee and Tristan - they are the best of friends
Too bad they are cousins;)
