Kaylea's 7th Birthday!

My neice, Kaylea, turned 7 this past Saturday. I totally cannot believe she is already 7-years-old. It seems like yesterday that I was in the delivery room with my sister when she was born. It's just crazy. We went over to Jay to celebrate with her and the fam. She had her birthday party down at Blackwater River. It was a really cool little set-up. They rented a pavilion by the river that had a nice little beach. There was also a really cool playground near by if the kiddos felt like doing that as well. The weather held off for a few hours so everyone was able to really enjoy the party and the water.

The birthday pavillion...

Once again, the Gabster FREAKED about the crabs and whatever else "eating her toes" in the water and refused to touch it again. The daddy was super pumped :) But, at least she would do the float thing....

Gabbie got REAL brave and decided she wanted to ride on a back, too....but her feet could NOT get near the sand on the bottom....

PawPaw hauling all three granddaughters.....precious :)

MawMaw attempting to get everyone to look at the camera...good luck with that!

Silly girl....

PawPaw had to take her ALL the way to the shore :)

Time to eat!! Hotdogs, of course :)

Me and my sweet Grandma...LOVE YOU!

Getting their cupcakes.....

I think they enjoyed them....

Time to open presents!! Kaylea had lots of little helpers, of course :)

She loved her horsie....

and her new pink Bible...

Soon after the presents were opened, another HUGE lightening storm came up....so we decided to pack up the girls in the sexy van and head back to Mobile instead of trying to wait it out. The party was SO much fun! Happy birthday, Kaylea! We love you!
