Party Time!

From reading friends blogs and seeing other kids Kai's age it seems they are all into things like tv characters or certain toys like cars, dolls, etc. Kai isn't so much into anything, she has never really watched tv and therefore knows no characters, she likes her toys but isn't really into any of them so when it came time to plan a birthday party for her there was only one thing we could think of that she would love and that is swimming so we had a swimming party!

Here is the Birthday girl enjoying a few fruit snacks compliments of Diabetes

This girl loves her water so away we went to the YMCA which has a really awesome indoor pool. They have a huge slide for bigger kids and adults which Jared thoroughly enjoyed and then tons of other stuff for smaller kids.

Some of the friends who joined us for this celebration!

Getting ready to go down the slide!

After Swimming we headed out to eat some yummy Cake.
The kids made this throne for Kai to sit on!

 I was having the hardest time trying to think of a cake for Kai and my friend Sadie suggested a swimming pool since she loves to swim so here it is. This was by far the biggest cake I have ever made. Took me about three days and three batches of frosting to do it and Three layers of cake Yellow-Chocolate-Yellow!!
If you can't tell the middle part is cut out!

And like last year we decorated the side of cake with our favorite things about Kai!

 

 AIY-Ice, she has to have ice in her water and freaks out if we don't have any! 

Potty-or Poppy as she says it since she is just learning to go potty!

Cheese- the kids eats so much cheese we should invest in a cheese company!

Car-she loves to play in the car.

 Raisins-We should also invest in a raisin company, I guess it keeps her balanced against her cheese             consumption.

Stroller-she loves her little play stroller!

Mommy-She calls everyone mommy from friends to even Jared!

Mom-more-Instead of just saying more she always says ma-more!

 Noo-Noo- One of her newest words which means Noodle

Mine- She sounds like the seagulls on Finding Nemo whenever she has to share her toys!

Mermaid-To represent her favorite toy her mermaid car and the 1000's of times Jared an I have heard the song " I am little mermaid down in the sea" this past year!

Tantrum-she loves to throw them and we just think they are so darn cute- most of the time!

Peas-Probably her favorite food- she'll eat them in any form from baby food, to frozen, to fresh straight out of the pod and she finally just barely learned to say them. Now every night for dinner we hear Peas-peas!

 Cheerleader-Her favorite activity to do with dad

Buckles- because she is obssesed with them

No-her new favorite word of course!

 Kisses-she loves to give kisses and we love to get them!

Squirt- her nickname

Thank you- or as she says tank you!

Shoes- she loves to wear all of my shoes and likes her own as well

Pig tails-her classic and favorite hair style

 Wa-wa- Water which she is obsessed with and pretty much the only beverage she will consume of course it has to come with Ice now as well!

Bath-her favorite time of day!

Teddy Bear-she loves to read and Teddy Bear Teddy Bear is one of her favorite books right now!

Purple the only color she fully knows how to say and pick out!

Treadmill- was and would be still to play on if she hadn't hurt her hand!

 Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday!



Kai had no idea what was going on or how to blow out the candle. Rowan her buddy helped her. My favorite quote from the day came from him he told me "This is the best little kid birthday party I have ever been too" apparently his family had never been to that pool and he loved the big slide! So funny!

 Enjoying the cake and ice cream!

 Present time!
It was so cute how all the kids helped her even though most of them are way older than her!

  I realized the night before the party that we probably should get party favors for the kids. I think they turned out super cute and actually matched my wrapping paper perfectly! If I was a kid I would have loved it, curly straws, play dough, sixlets and the parent's favorite punching balloons!

 We ironically enough forgot to bring our presents to the party so she got to open them up later.

Playing with all her new toys!
