Happy 5th Birthday Ailey
Ailey turned 5 years old on Thursday and she wanted to plan her own "day of fun" this year. She was in charge 100% of everything that we did. She did a great job.
We started off at our favorite downtown park. Ailey loves the carousel there and likes to ride it every year on her birthday. She rode it many many times. It is really starting to feel like summer. Lots of people were at the park and things were very festive. We ate Ailey's very favorite snack/treat POPCORN!! This little girl can consume more popcorn than anyone I know!!
Ailey, Kameron, and Reilly in a row
Bryn wasn't impressed. She slept through the whole thing!!Then we were off to swim lessons at the YMCA. Both Ailey and Kameron are doing great!!
Next stop the mall and Ailey's FAVORITE store Build-a-Bear. This store is like a little wonderland to Ailey. She loves going there and looking at all the animals and outfits. It is a cute store and Ailey loves Christine that she got there once before so this time she decided that she wanted to get another family member for Christine (her ballet bear) but she couldn't decide if she wanted to pick out a sister for Christine or a husband!! She ended up going with a sister. Ailey picked out a dog that she named Sparkles.

... and fluffed
Ailey picked out a swimsuit and swim goggles for Sparkles
All done and a very happy AileyNext stop...the DREADED...Chuck E. Cheese!!
Three very happy kids...and one sleeping baby sister
These pictures are proof that we actually let them come...Tyler and I usually try to avoid this place like the plague...and try to get them to go out for sushi or something. No such luck!!
It actually turned out better than expected. There is a new Chuck E. Cheese in our area and it is clean and nice. The pizza tasted better than it normally does and as we went on a Thursday it wasn't as crowded as usual. It really reminded me of going to Showbiz Pizza in Orem as a kid. Good times!! Tyler and I actually left saying that we had fun and needed to come back again soon. UNHEARD OF.Then it was home for presents and birthday cake...and the BEST part of her day...listening to all her birthday messages from family members.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!! We love you!!

as quite the birthday celebration! I love little Sparkle's swimming goggles. We have yet to go to Chuck E. Cheeses with Kaiden. I guess his next birthday will be the year. Miss you all tons. Can't wait to come up in two months!
So it's WAY late, but I HAD to see what you are up to. Your fam is sooo dang cute, & I miss you guys & Spokane like crazy cakes. Bryn is soooo beautiful & HAPPY! I miss little Ailey - I LOVED your anniversary gift to yourselves & I'm wondering how the heck your bday was? Love me
That is seriously the ultimate birthday celebration at that age. You are such a cute Mom! I especially loved the cake with the long candles. How do you pull all of that off with a newborn??? Are you trying to make us all look bad? :)
Happy B-day, Ailey!!
Glad you guys had fun- Ailey picked some good birthday activities. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AILEY!!

Happy birthday!!!! This is Olivia... I am just wondering who this "Chris" guy is from the little book that you made about him and going to that lake. I found it in my mom's yearbook, and I read it... SO DRAMATIC!!!! I was just curious. :) When did you write that?
Hi Livvy-
So you found my story huh? I wrote that little gem in I think 7th grade. I do have a flair for the dramatic but what you don't know is so did your mother!! She wrote a lovely tale for me called "As the Dell Turns". I have it still. I hope you had a good laugh because we sure did when we read it. As for Chris...I'll let your mother fill you in. :) But I am a TREASURE TROVE of knowledge about your mother in her teenage years (there's the dramatic side of me again) next time I see you I will tell you some new stories that are true!!
Thanks for leaving me a message. I hope you are having a fun summer. Tell your mother who once went by the nickname "Nifty" that "Kool" says hi.
