July 22 is Kayla’s 5th Birthday…The party was planned for July 25th since the 22nd was on a Wednesday of this year…At beginning of all parties are the decorations…
Then comes all the guests to the invited event…We came to Kayla’s home for her party from Hillsville, VA about 5 hours away…Some other guests had to drive about 2 hours to come to the event…Others didn’t leave that far away…But everyone who was invited to the party came…The list of guests were us (Poppy & Mommom), Bruce & Peg (Poppop & Grams), Nancy (GG) & Uncle Ricky & GG’s sister-n-law, Marion, Uncle Josh and Aunt Sandy, Aunt Ann & Uncle Ed, the cousins Adam & Nancy and the 2 little cousins, Alexandria & Isabella, Courtney and her 2, William & ?…Once everyone arrived, the food came out and it was time to eat…Robert grilled hamburgers & hot dogs while Brandi & I started to bring down the chilled foods like crab potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs…There was water, ice tea and kool-aid…I think we also had potato chips…
Before all the food was being served, the kids were playing in the yard with the slip-n-slide…They were having a blast…The kids also found the water balloon bucket so they were tossing some water balloons at each other and then refilling some balloons with the spigot at the back of the house…Brandi & Courtney went to Walmart to get a pool for the kids to play in cause the slip-n-slide wasn’t working how it was suppose to work…
After the food was brought out, everyone grabbed a plate and got what they wanted to eat…Some of the smaller kids ate at the children’s picnic table while the adults found seats to enjoy the good food provided…
Once every one was done eating, an ensuing battle of the water balloons began…The kids had found the bucket earlier where the water balloons were stored for the adults to play with and hit each other with the water balloons…Brandi began the water balloon fight with her friend, Courtney…Needless to say, the battle had begun…Water balloons were flying everywhere…Brandi and Courtney were running behind the house, Robert got hit with a few while he was trying to hit a few people…The younger generation of kids were tossing water balloons at each other and was trying to get us but I had a camera in my hand taking all the fun pictures…Robert even got Brandi real good with a really nice filled water balloon right down her back…Then if that wasn’t enough, after Brandi changed her clothes, Courtney and Brandi had a hose fight and the both of them got soaked…It was pretty funny to watch…Courtney and Brandi even tried to Richard…Brandi was trying to get her big brother, Josh, but to no avail…
After all the battles and fun in the pool and cleaning up of the food, it was time to get ready to sing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl…The number 5 candle was placed in one of the cupcakes (Grams made the beautiful cupcakes) and the candle was lit…Everyone sang Happy Birthday and Kayla blew out her candle…
After all the singing, a chair was placed next to the presents for Kayla to be near at so she could open her presents easily…
The time has come now for everyone to sit and watch to see what she got…All the presents had school clothes, school supplies, new shoes, lunch bag, bike helmet with matching knee/shoulder pads and when it was all over and done, a new purple bike from her mommy & daddy…She was so excited…She could not believe that she got a big girl bike…The first thing she wanted to do was go riding out in the street…
Luckily, the street that Brandi lives on is pretty safe for Kayla to ride on… 
As you can see, Kayla was ready to go…Up and down her street she went just peddling away…The kids were all playing after the party and clean up was beginning…Rain was nearing and pictures wanted to taken of Kayla’s GG and the other 4 girl cousins…So GG had 5 great
granddaughters at the party…There was one missing and Laurianna lives in Sicily…After getting a few pictures, the rain came…Kayla’s party was over…
