Birthdays and Beehives

Our baby girl, Sydney, turned 6 on Friday. *sniff* The first thing she said when she woke up was, "How much taller am I today?" I squeezed her so hard you'd think I wanted her to go back in the womb. Of course, I had to play it up, so I purposely found a dress in her closet that I knew would be too small so she could try it on and I could go on and on about how much she's grown. heeheee



Her birthday party was at our local kid's gym on Saturday and boy, did they have a blast! All of her BBFs were there...





All of us adults were tired out just from watching them jump...



... and run...



and jump some more for over an hour.





But come on... who wouldn't love to hang out here all day?! (and I'm not just talking 'bout kids here...)



After getting all sweaty and stinky, Sydney made her wish...



... blew her candles...



... ate to her little heart's content and posed for group pics...



Of course, we had to get a silly one in there...



Then came home and played with all her new gifts until waaaaaaay past her bedtime! :)

One of Sydney's favorite gifts was this paper guitar that plays several songs from the 80's...





Boy, she totally thinks she's a rock star! LOVE IT!!!



And speaking of 80's songs, rock stars and beehives (yes, there was a purpose to that silly title!)... I went to see the B52s last Wednesday with a few girlfriends. Oooh, it was sooooo much fun!

We partied like it was 19..... 89! haha In this picture, Dawn, Nikki, me and Wendy.


Beehive on my head courtesy of Em & Em! Yes, they can do hair too....BONUS!


The fabulous Dawn Bergeron, photographer extraodinaire and sweet friend, took these amazing photos at the concert.




And as much of a blast as we had during the show, the real treat came afterwards, when we got to meet singer Kate Pierson and get our picture taken.



She was as short as Nikki and I, can you believe it?!? And super sweet to boot!



Here's a little video clip I shot of my favorite song, Private Idaho!

Enjoy!!!
