Kelsey is 6

Kelsey turned 6 a few weeks ago and since we were headed to Girls Camp (yes, both of us since he's in the bishopric and I am Beehive advisor) on her actual birthday, she chose to have her party the day before. With a summer birthday it's kind of a bummer to not have school friends come, but she had a few that have kept in touch so it was fun to have them come. Even with a lot of people out of town that she wanted to have come, she still had 4 friends come and it made for just the perfect group.

She decided on a swim party again and I love that because it is just so easy and the best way to cool off from this hot, miserable weather we've been having lately. It made it even nicer that Dave had the day off from work in observance of the 4th so he was able to take Addison while I was outside with the rest of the kids.

All the moms cooling off by the step.

Kelsey and her dear friend Riley. They were two peas in a pod in kindergarten together.
Elizabeth and Samuel. He was the only boy to make it and found out that he and another friend she invited from school, but couldn't make it will both be in her 1st grade class this next year. She is looking forward to school much more since we found that out.
Kelsey's other good friend and sister that although they live far away always make up for it playing and getting together in the summer.Happy Birthday Kelsey!! We are so proud of you and all you can do. You are growing so big and into quite a beautiful girl. Thanks for always being such a big help around the house and playing with your little sisters. You are so friendly to everyone around you and get along with everyone. We love you. Love Mom and Dad
