I can't believe Taite is SIX! Every year sounds older & older! She had a great birthday this year. Her birthday fell on a Saturday, so Mrs. Vermeer gave her the birthday crown & ribbon on the Friday before. That same day, Lewis surprised Taite & brought her lunch at school. That was fun. Saturday morning, Taite woke up to a GIANT present in the living room. Check out what she got....Her very own BARBIE house. Now her 40+ Barbies have a place to hang out! It fit just perfectly into her room. She & Lewis (who shares her birthday!) also got Guitar Hero from Paige & I. 
Saturday afternoon was the big birthday party. This year, she wanted to have her party at a "jumping place" (you know, where they have rooms full of giant bounce-houses, slides, etc.). We also decided to invite her whole class to the party. She ended up having 16 kids from her class, along with her long-time friends & all together, there were over 30 kids at the party!! It was a little bit crazy, but LOTS of fun for the kids. The kids were all really good. It was the perfect place to have a party with 30 kids!

Taite & all of her friends really enjoyed all of the jumping. Just watching them made a lot of us adults tired!
I love this picture (although it's blurry) of Taite airborne on the bouncy slide. And, notice Paige in the background...
We also had a lot of fun watching Paige "hang" with the "big" kids. She got right to it. She was right in there with all of them and nothing slowed her down. One of her favorites was this 'rock wall' that had a slide at the top.....
After the kids jumped, they went into the party room for cake and gifts. Many of you know that I ALWAYS make the girls cakes for their party. This year, Taite wanted a Strawberry Shortcake cake. We bought a really cute, personalized icing cake topper on ebay for her cake. It was really easy. BUT, I forgot to take a picture of it! So, you can kind of (barely) see it in her picture as she was blowing out candles....
I wanted to include a picture of the kids eating cake. This is a little over half of the kids who were there. There are other kids sitting at another table in the background. Really - the kids were great overall & it was fun to have them all there!
And, I had to include a picture of Lewis (the birthday "boy") sitting on the inflatable thrown. This is where Taite sat to open her gifts!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAITE & LEWIS!!!

awe, happy birthday Taite!! wow, 6! That's crazy! My dad and I share the same birthday and I love it.. makes it feel even that more special! Tell Taite Happy Birthday for us!
Wow - you are one brave mom! I don't think I ever had 30 TOTAL guests at all four kids' parties in one year.
It looked like a blast! I love it that you make your kids' cakes. :)
Kate & Noah turn 3 next month. They have already requested their parties. Kate wants a princess party and Noah wants a Cars party "at a jumping place." How do they learn so young? It will be interesting to see how Becky combines the princess and Cars themes!
Happy BD to Taite and Lewis!
Love, Judy Newhouse
And now we are six. I can't believe how big she's getting! Looks like ya'll had a lot of bouncy, strawberry fun!
(I love the inflatable throne! There's a joke in there somewhere, I just know it!)
I can't believe she's six either! Wow. She's getting so big. It looks likes her party was a lot of fun. Good times.
Happy Belated Birthday to Taite and Lewis!
P.S. R's birthday is three days after her daddy's. On his birthday, he prayed hard that she would NOT be born that day. I have a different opinion. I think it would be incredibly special, especially since they are just alike.
