Kassie's 7th Birthday
Saturday, September 13, 2003
Skateland U.S.A.


As it goes with kids, Kai quickly gave up on the Ice Skating and moved on over to roller skating. So, she picked Skateland for the location of her 7th birthday party. For a theme, she LOVED Lizzie McGuire. And I do mean LOVED. I can honestly say that I can recite the words to "The Lizzie McGuire Movie". She watched it 24/7. We saw it at theaters too many times to remember. We even kept seeing it when it hit the dollar theater. Above are the invitations that I made for the party. The information was printed on white vellum and tied together with a tulle bow. We made the felt candy bags of Lizzie's face. I had a Lizzie cake made at Fry's, and other than that, Skateland took care of all the rest. The kids had a great time skating and playing video games. Notice the hulk plates on the tables. Kassie made me buy those because she said that the boys in her class were not going to want Lizzie plates. So we had both. She let Nachito pick them out, and since he loved Hulk at the time, that is what he picked.

Ok, now I have to tell this story because well.....it really is a funny story. So you see this little three year old with that Hulk that is his size? Maybe a bit bigger when the skates come off. That little three year old is Nachito. He skated for a while, and then Buddy won him that Hulk. He was thrilled!!
And as it so happens at birthday parties. You get busy serving cake, opening presents etc. etc. Buddy should have been watching this said three year old, but somehow, he managed to escape onto to roller rink, in tennis, and with Hulk. All of a sudden, the place is howling in laughter, and bodies are falling like bowling pins on the rink. We look around, and all you see is this small green Hulk running into people. (He was body slamming these people with Hulk) Some people see him with time and avoid him, some are not so fortunate. Obviously the people laughing were part of the audience, not the skaters. Buddy and I look at each other in horror. "You go get him". "No, you go get him". Neither one of us wanted to claim "Hulk". Finally my niece ran after him, and caught "The Hulk" and he was done with his destruction, but not after a few casualties. And now, after so many years, it is a funny story.
Next weeks theme: Diva Rock Star Party

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Joining in with Alicia again. Head on over to her blog to participate. You can get there by clicking here . As promised, I will countdown Kai's birthdays parties every Friday from now on until we reach her 13th Birthday. Come join in Disney fun as Kassandra Paulyna turns one! Saturday, September 6, 1997 From day one, Kai was always smiling. Her cake was made by my sister Ana. Her piñata was bigger than she was. Two pages from her scrapbook, which I haven't kept up with, hence the blog. Kai's first birthday was bitter sweet. I had been planning it for about four months. At the time I was a stay at home mommy and I had nothing better to do. It was bitter sweet, because my dad had passed away two weeks prior to her party. We really considered moving the date or cancelling the party all together, but my mom said that my dad would not want that. So we went ahead with the party. At the time, we lived in Douglas, and parties in Douglas tend to be pretty big. We rented a dan...
