Lauren's class party

Lauren wanted a party with her whole class, so we decided a bounce house party could handle that craziness. All the kids had fun and worked up an appetite for the Funfetti cupcakes.

Little brother, all smiles

Birthday Girl

Our girlie is now seven years old! Here are a few shots from her birthday.

Getting ready to head out to school.

Lucky enough to sneak in a quick visit with Great Grandma after school.

The night before she and Daddy had made their own one of a kind birthday cake: two chocolate bundt layers with strawberry jelly in between, and they tinted some Funfetti icing pink.

Blowing out seven candles

Obligatory cake shot for Auntie Michelle!

Daddy even made her some pink milk to go with it!

A wind chime from Great Grandma

New Tinkerbell summer jammies

A mosaic art project from Auntie Louie - which Lauren finished that very weekend!

Stirring peanut butter, the manly way

Down to two wheels after about 10 minutes with Papa

Heart attack

From another room, as I'm in the kitchen making dinner: "Mama, I can skip!"

"Sis, don't be silly, you've known how to skip for years."

"Yeah, but I have my roller skates on!"

Best Mass of the year

At Lauren's school every class is responsible for putting on one Mass per year. 1st Grade was in charge of May's and they did a fabulous job, so full of enthusiasm! Lauren was part of the bell choir.
