Jasmine's 5th Birthday Party



In Jasmine's words.....It was the bestest birthday party ever!



We had an awesome day Saturday. The only snag was me spilling half the crock pot of cheese for nachos in my van while loading up. After cleaning up that mess we were on the road. It was super cloudy and we were praying the rain held off until afternoon....and so it did. As we were loading up the van in the afternoon, it started to rain. Praise the Lord!!



Without further ado, here are the pics....(and some brief commentary)



Making cupcakes Friday night
(Ms. Bailey spent the weekend with us and was a big help - her sister is the one who had heart surgery and btw should be out of the hospital tomorrow or Thursday, thanks for all of your prayers - they are appreciated!)








On our way to the party destination
(can you stand the excitement)




Can't you tell they LOVE each other




Lazy river


My 89 yr old grandmother made it to the party and even swam a bit.




Grandpa & Cash




CHEESE
(literally, can you tell we had nachos?)


1,2,3-jump





Cash ready to slide - but not alone...


...he insisted mommy and daddy go w/ him...


...at the end he'd quickly jump up and say 'let's do dat again'!


It was a little too windy to actually light the candles, so we just sang!


Yum, strawberry and chocolate cupcakes.
(wish I had one right now!)


Looks like they were a hit...












Wonder why everyone is just standing there....


....waiting for the big bucket to dump!!!

Here is the slide where Jasmine spent a lot of her time. She has definitely come a long way since last year when she'd barely go down the kiddie slide alone.


(Not so) Patiently waiting her turn...


...there she goes...


...awww


My daredevil 3 yr old nephew also enjoyed the BIG slide


Gramma got Jasmine her first real Bible, and she LOVES it!

Shoes are always good too.
'Oh, they are beautiful'




In case you were wondering diving is a spectator sport.


Yeah, more than once she landed on her back. OUCH!!!

And here is a shot of the ride home....passed out!



We had a super duper awesome time and can't wait until we can go back to the water park.

And just in case you were wondering, the backpack has not arrived yet and her birthday is TOMORROW!! ARGH!
