Our daughter is growing up way too fast. She will be FIVE this month! Sniff, sniff. While thinking of her birthday — I NEED HELP! Seriously! What can we do for her birthday? I need party ideas and quick. Birthday #1 – family; Birthday #2 – mountain house with friends; Birthday #3 – miserably HOT party outside with bounce house; Birthday #4 – Little Gym … now Birthday #5 and I don’t have a clue what to do. HELP. (Oops — ok, after this posted I decided what to do! There is a historic home in a town near here where the owner hosts “Princess” parties! She provides the costumes, does the hair, fingernails, jewelry, etc … I am very excited! You’ll see pictures!)
Here are some pics from this weekend in the mountains.

This is what I see most of the time: My husband on the phone! 
Who needs botox to have duck lips?
Our Princess is such a monkey. Look at that silly face.
Ok, I have an appointment with my hair stylist on Thursday. Wow, my hair is STILL way TOO blond and it sure is long in the back. It looks like a horses mane. I don’t know what to do with my hair. Sigh. I don’t like short hair on me. Oh — and note, HUSBAND IS STILL ON PHONE!
Just so you know, I am starting WEEK 6 of the Couch-to-5K plan! I am pressing through and proving to myself that I can do it! However, nobody warned me that I’d be TWICE as hungry.
Beautiful land!
Lets see, we had a bowling party, a skating party, and my girls went to a spa party once. They took them to the beauty school and they all got pampered.
That's all I can think of.
When I used to work out, I was always starving afterwards!
Good for you, Beth! Are you losing weight on the program? If not, you might not be consuming enough calories to account for all the extra activity of running. I've been studying up a bit on it, and they say that your NET calories (what you eat minus what you burn) should never fall below 1200. If it does, your body might go into "starvation mode" as a protective factor. Just a thought… You are awesome, woman! When life slows down, I think I might want to try out that program, too! :o)
Cute pictures! Whatever you decide, I'm sure she will love it! And, FIVE!?!?!
I am not sure if my comment went through the first time my computer has a mind of its own sometimes….but anywho…Love the pictures…and you can always do a Disney Princess theme…and have everyone dress up as their favorite disney princess…cant wait to se pics from your little one's bday party!!!
Wow, fun party idea! You little girl is beautiful. My phone is either glued to my ear or my hand for texting. Can't wait to see the princess pics.
Really enjoyed this post sis. I loved the pictures. Asking God to give you just the right plans for your daughters birthday.

Thank you for sharing Beth. Your daughter is so care-free. What beauty in those pictures. Blessings to you and your family.
My daughter had my 5 year old grandson's birthday party at ChuckeCheese last month….only 10 of us there…costs over $95.00!!! I almost flipped out!! I thought the guy had rung up the order wrong!!
I love your hair!! and just a precautionary measure….never…NEVER use the word "cut" to your hair dresser!! They go wild!! :o)
Great pics, by the way!
