Baylee turned 9 on her birthday. It is hard to believe how fast she is growing up. This year we did not have a big party since Sydney's birthday is 3 days later. We have decided to have a big party for her every other year and on the off year she can pick any friend do something fun. Baylee's friend, Lily, came over for a date night with Baylee and her Dad. They had dinner, went to a movie and then Lily spent the night. They had a great time! Baylee actually had a birthday weekend starting with the special night with Lily, then on Saturday we took cupcakes to her soccer game, and then Baylee and I had a special night of shopping, shopping and shopping. She got a gift card from one set of Grandparents to Justice and then got cash from the other set. We had a lot of fun going from store to store and she loaded up with new clothes and shoes. Sunday was her actual birthday and Grandpa Risenmay was in town so I made her all of her favorite meals. We had German pancakes for breakfast and chicken from the crock pot, rice, rolls and broccoli for dinner. I also made cupcakes again for her to take to church to share with her class, Travis is her teacher. That night I had made another cake for us to share as a family. Baylee loves cake and cupcakes!

Jake and Baylee wanted to put their faces in the cake, why not?

Jake's pumpkin had a "knife" in his head, Syd's had lipstick and Baylee's pumpkin was fancy with eyelashes.
Brynley could not wait to drink her bottle.
Sydney as a bride.
Baylee was Alex Russo from Disneys' Wizards of Waverly Place also known as Selena Gomez.
Jake was a skeleton and loved it! Our neighbor, Connor, was also a skeleton.
Jake thought at night his skeleton costume would come to life while he was sleeping so he would hide parts of his costume all over the house under things so it would not get him. He has quite an imagination.
Bryn was a cute little Halloween pumpkin but did not want us to take her picture.
On our way to Trick or Treat!
