Kesiah turns 6!

So the Philpots are rounding out the busy first quarter of birthdays with Kesiah's sixth!! Kesiah is currently in coach pitch softball which is pretty fun as it is her first year. She is also nearing the completion of her dance class and Kindergarten! Kesiah has been a bundle of fun since the day she was born. She has always had a natural determination, which as a parent can be kind of frustrating when her will is pitted against yours, but to see it at work in the world is pretty phenomenal. When she first found out they had to write their numbers from one to one hundred to get into the "100 Club" in Kindergarten this year, she came home and started practicing so that the first time she tried at school, she made it! It's a blessing to get to share in her life.
So pictures:


First we have her "cousin" birthday party she shared with her Philpot cousin Lila. There are fourteen kids under the age of 11 on Jerry's side (most living in Utah) so cousin parties abound! She got called up during the magic show and although it is a poor picture, when he removed the board she was levatating! Pretty cool.


Then ironically, Opa J. (Or Grampa John) sent her a magic trick set for her birthday which the whole family has been loving - the tricks are great. Here is her masterpiece performance with the jewel-in-the-box!



Here she is with her five little friends for her "Friend" birthday party. She is the one in orange. (I know, don't get me started, we go overboard for birthdays!) It had a bear theme and I am posting the bear cake I made because I mean, seriously, that is pretty good right?





Her birthday gift was a bike her size and she is just cruisin' now that she has wheels!

Happy (very belated) Birthday Kesiah!! I cannot believe you are only six!!!! And yet you are six!! You look so big and yet seem so small...ah the contradictions of life.

Anyway - glad you had an awesome few days. I'm going to have to hire your mama to make my kids' birthday cakes from now on!
