Jewel's 4th Birthday

My little niece Jewels just had her fourth birthday and we went to Check-E-Cheese with her classmates.

Here's the big man himself excited for Jewels' party.

Mommy made a Hello Kitty cake for the birthday girl.

Happy Birthday to you!!

She had so much fun on the large slide with her cousin.

Getting a birthday star medal.

Mommy, daddy, Uncle James, Auntie Karyn (me) and grandma totaled nearly 800 tickets for Jewels. Here she is picking out her prizes.

She got some yummy Mickey and Minnie cookies.

Uncle James put the bag over Jewels body and she climbed on a chair to put the same bag over his head.

The next night we went to Jewels' great grandma's house for another birthday night.

Right before the lights went completely out.

Jewels asked for a pink cowgirl hat and she got one -- and posed for the camera.

With grandma.

Disney on Ice {Fun Stuff}

I got some tickets to Disney on Ice (Thanks Jen) and took my mom, Jewels, Jonathan and Page.

I'll have this blog of "fun stuff" and a "best of" from the night on my other blog (karynlynne.blogspot.com).

Jewels was so happy to be there.

Jonathan and Page told her she could pick one thing from the stands. She picked this Minnie spinning glow stick.

Just having some fun with the lights.

Happy little family. Mom has the shot of all five of us on her camera.

Another shot with the lights.

My grandpa, Aunt and Uncle came down from Seattle a couple years back and here are some of the shots of them (mainly my grandpa) during that trip.

My grandpa passed yesterday and I went in and found the shots from the trip to make this heart-shaped image.


Also in the photos is my mom, dad my brother (Jonathan) and Jewels.

Family fun in the Snow

So here's the final set of photos from our time at the cabin.

Uncle James and Jewels having a snowball fight.

Wow that's a big snowball.

Get ready for this one Uncle James.

Hi Auntie Karyn.

Just liked the lighting on the wood.

A bird feeder hanging from one of the many trees.

Here comes a snowball my way.

Some snow coming down the stairs.

Meeko's first time in the snow

Meeko had his first snow when James and I went up to Page's cabin last month.

Holly came to join Meeko in the fun with the snow.
