Sarah's Swimming 5th birthday

Today was Sarah's 5th birthday party. She shared it with Abby and we had it at the community pool by Abby's house. We had about 40 people there, between kids and parents. We had Chik-Fila, fruit salad, cake and ice cream. It was lots of fun. Some of Sarah's friends from school came and so did her Zaidie.

Making Sarah's Cake

Sarah and I made her pool cake together. Allison Brothers and I baked the cake on Wednesday. Friday night, Sarah and I began to decorate it. I made blue jello for the middle and then added Swedish fish to make it look like they were swimming. Then I frosted the outside with cool whip and Sarah decorated with teddy grahams and life savers and umbrellas. I then wrote Happy Birthday Abby and Sarah.

Sunday

Yesterday, our friends the Norris' came over to play and have dinner. John is a great sport and Catherine gave him a crown to wear and John of course did. We had an awesome time and wish that we lived closer so that we could see them more.

Leaving on a Jet plane (or should it be arriving on ...)

On the plane Sunday, Sarah made a door hanger that she wanted to give to the pilot. When we were getting off the plane she went to give it to her (she was the co-pilot) and Andrea invited Sarah into the cock-pit. Sarah's dad was jealous because he has never been in a big airplane cock-pit before. She got to move the steering wheel backwards and forwards, and push buttons.

One more Phoenix day 3 evening

The scenery was just beautiful no matter where we were. It was a great trip and the relatives weren't half bad either.

Phoenix day 3 evening continued

There was a lighting ceremony and then lots of food and dancing. Up on top of the building was a loft and the adults sat up there to get away from the music. Sarah played with her Zadie.
