Kiya turns 7 (almost)!

My baby is turning 7! Kiya decided for her birthday party, with friends, that she wanted to go to the Seattle Center and do the rides and miniature golf. She was able to invite 2 friends (Lousie and Mia) along with our family. We did a deal where we paid one amount for 1hour of unlimited rides and golf. Unfortunately, the kids were to short for the big rides and had to stay mainly with the kiddie rides, but they still had a lot of fun.

You can barely see Kiya, but her arms are wrapped tightly around her daddy.

Here are the kids on the Frog Hop. They went on this ride 3 times in a row.

Kiya and her friend Louise on the animal ride.

Kiya did the rock climbing. She never made it all the way to the top, but she tried hard:)


Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, Dear Kiya! Happy Birthday to you!


After a long day of rides, golf, presents, dinner, and cupcakes, the party was just starting.....with an art project. They each painted a sign with their names on them.



Next came the manicures and pedicures. Beautiful nails ladies!! At this point, it was well after midnight. Kiya then wanted to do makeup and hair..."Aren't you tired?" Even though they said they weren't, I talked them out of the hair and makeup and finally put them to bed.

10 Minutes later: Not tired? Yeah right!!
Still looking beautiful in the morning...even with only 6 hours of sleep:0
