My baby girl turns 1 decade! ! !

This year Kassidy had her party at the Y indoor pool.  She was able to invite lots of girls from school and cheer and they had a blast swimming and playing games together:)  What happens when you put a bunch of cheerleaders together...they do stunts of course!

 They even let Kaleb in on the action because he is so light:)

 Such a great group of girls:)  Top row Erin, Nishi, Kassidy, Abbi, Sara, Gracie.
                               Bottom row  Taryn, Hannah, Caroline, McCauley, Cadence, AnnDee, and Payten.

 So silly!

 

 We were so excited that Daddy was able to come home when we had the party!!!!!

 I was there, too:)

 #10 Birthday Morning:)

New outfit from Grandma and Grandpa (one of many!)

 New cover-up, bathing suit, and flip flops from Mama

 Bracelet making kit and scrapbook kit from Aunt Beth Ann

There were tons of other special birthday cards, gifts, and sweet messages for our birthday girl from friends and family.  She is very blessed to have each and every one of you in her life (as are we!).  It's hard to believe that we had her TEN years ago!!!  Wow, does that make me feel old!

Kassidy has had a super year so far in 4th grade and has made the A-B honor roll each quarter.  She continues to be responsible at home and at school.  She gets up each morning with her alarm clock, can do her hair by herself, helps make lunches, does her own wash, and helps me with so many things throughout our busy week.  She has done a tremendous job keeping up with her school work even though she is busy with cheer practice three times/week and out of town for competitions a lot lately. She's pretty mature for her age and gets along well with her friends, always trying to be the peace maker when problems come up.

Of course with any tween comes a smart mouth and sassy attitude...luckily we have many more kind, sweet days then sassy ones:)  God has a unique way of testing ME through her!

Kassidy and I get a lot of time along together with Keith being out of town and the boys having each other to play with.  We've had a really good time hanging out and talking and just being together.  I am thankful for this chance to be close with her because I know as she gets older and busier those moments won't come nearly as often.

Well, Happy Birthday my sweet, loving, kind hearted, beautiful little girl!  Mommy loves you SO much:)
