HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY ADRI!!!

Here's our cute Birthday girl by the sign Tori made her.  She's had a fun filled birthday!  Saturday she got to go to a party for her friend that has a birthday on the 15th, Sunday night she had a family party, Monday she had a friend party and Monday night she went to her cousin Taylor's party.  Taylor is 2 and it thrilled Adri when she was born on February 16th.  She LOVES sharing her birthday with her cousin!


This is Adri with Grandma and Grandpa Smith - Adri's great-grandparents.  Grandpa Doug is pretty special to her since he's the only living Grandpa she has.  We're so glad they were able to make it to the party.

This is Jake's mom and my mom - Adri's Grandma's!

Adri got new high tops!

She also got a popcorn maker that has been well used!  I think she's made 10 batches of popcorn since Sunday night!  She had her cousins Brooke (below) and Mallory sleep over and they made at least 4 batches that night to watch a movie.

This morning (Monday) they woke up bright and early and made MORE popcorn for breakfast and then got ready for Adri's friends to arrive.  We ate Subway sandwiches - Adri's favorite - and then headed over to Peaks Arena for some ice skating!  Left to right:  Mallory (cousin), Tori (sister and sign maker), Brooke (cousin), Janae (friend), Saige (friend with b-day on the 15th), Adri (b-day girl) & Mallory (friend).

Here's the girls waiting to get on the ice.  Right as we finished the painful process of getting ice skates on everyone the Zambonie (sorry, I don't know how to spell that word) came out.  There was also a girl who was taken away in an ambulance.  Talk about NERVOUS!  So I gave everyone the 'be extra careful talk'.  Luckily all went well in our group.

Jake was a good sport and went out on the ice.  I took pictures and stayed OFF the ice!  Not the greatest pictures however.

They skated for 3 hours!!!  Some had blisters, ALL had sore, sore ankles!  But they had an absolute ball!

Happy Birthday Adri Girl!

These are Adri's birthday Invites.  She picked the colors herself!  LOVE them!

I love that popcorn maker. You and Jake are good sports taking all those girls iceskating. I told Natalie "no more friend parties", too much work, too expensive, etc, etc. Lets see if I stick to it this year?? Ha Ha.
