Rylie's Birthday

Rylie's birthday was on Saturday.  She is now a whopping 4 years old!  What a big girl.  We had Garth's parents over and his sister Jana was able to come with her three girls - Nati, Payton, and Harley.  Rylie also had one of her little friends come over, Taie Day.  

Rylie picked her cake out weeks ago from the Family Fun magazine.  She picked out a sand castle cake, so we had a little beach theme going on.  The girls played out in the dirt for a while and then came in to watch Rylie open her presents and have cake and ice cream.  It's kind of funny, but my girls mainly only like the frosting on cakes and things.  Sooo, Rylie mainly liked the idea of her cake.  When it came time to eat the cake, she wasn't too interested because the frosting was covered with crushed up cookie - at least that's what I think.  

She received some cute things.  Lots of toys and clothes.  I think her favorite gift of all was the roly poly playground.  Rylie loves roly pollies and we have some great little plants in front of our house that are a full of them.  She filled it full in no time.  It was fun to watch her go.  She is pretty particular about her roly pollies.  She makes sure they have enough wet dirt in the bottom of the dome and that they stay in a cool place.  It's cute.

Anyway, I think she had a good birthday.   Here are the scrap book pages.  After the party, ALL the girls went over to the farm to help Grandpa pick up sticks out in the field, but I think it got a little to hot for the girls to be very effective.  I heard that it was "hard work" picking up those sticks.  

If you want to know the truth, I'm starting to get birthday burn out.  I have two more left to do.  This is such a hard time of year with school getting out and recital just around the corner.  My life is stressed at the moment.  Big changes are coming though (more stress).  I'll keep you posted.  I hope you all have a great weekend!
