Best day of Rose’s life, hands down!

Thanks to all of our friends and family that came out to play with Rose. You made her feel soooo special!

Cousin Harper, Rose, and Noelle getting their play on!

Anna Kate and Malia, future kindergarteners, class of ‘15! I think they’re ready!!!

Cutie Kate, Rose with a million things going on upstairs, and sweet Landon doing their thing!

Cousins Saylor and Harper drove a long way to come play; We love you guys! Bekah Boo’s still got it!

Sweet Noelle living life to the fullest! (Pray for her expanders if you think about it. She’s in pain off and on these days. So thankful to see her so carefree in this pic!)

Noelle and Emily!!! I love going down those big slides with my babies! It’s FUN! Pump It Up does adult parties on weekend nights. I’d love that!

One minute Cerly and Rose are climbing a big mountain, the next Rose head dives down the other side. This.kid. Scared me to death, but apparently she knew what she was doing.

Noelle and Georgia had a blast playing too! Auntie Monster Momo with baby Saylor and my first baby!

Katie arrives on the scene! How precious is this!?!

We LOVE playing monster at home! It’s one of our favorite things so it just made sense to bust out the monster gear and play monster!

Rose… makes the world go round!

Noelle, Lesleigh, Anna Kate, and Jillian! These girls are precious and our girls admire them so much!

Silly faces!

Rara and cousin Harper ready for some pizza! Although parties are always a blur, these pictures make my heart full as I remember all the happy kiddos!

Shout out to the party star as she says “ta-da” right back to her sisters! Anna Kate, Jillian, Malia, Lindy

Brianna, Emily, Avery, Lesleigh, and Noelle

Most hilarious blowing out the candles ever!

You just HAVE to see the video! It was adorable/hysterical! And of course, our baby picked a chocolate cupcake, her favorite!

Reading cards and opening presents turned into a team effort! Rose was in heaven. Thanks for the pictures, Bekah Boo!!!


The party star chair keeps us coming back to Pump It Up so everyone can have their special day in the chair! Our family rule is the birthday girl gets to sit in the chair to eat, sing, and have cupcakes, but when present time comes, it’s a sister privilege. It is all about the chair, go figure!

Miss Kara (Rose calls her Ka-wa) has the best style! She used to own Ella Bella before she sold it to manage her bro earlier this year. Right now, I’m coasting on my previous Ella Bella purchases (I even bought their Easter dresses and summer fun clothes last spring). Kara ran an awesome boutique, and we are so grateful for everything she picked out for the girls! Not a day goes by that a Pond girl is not wearing something Kara personally picked out for her store and suggested to me. I miss that, but she’s rockin’ it out doing her thing, and I’m like a proud big sissy!

Books from Aunt Sharon and the crew and puppy purse from Berkley and Hudson!

Dance time! Mike got video of this that I can’t wait to see! These kids are so spontaneous, fun and happy! Love them all!

For party favors, we had several different types of rings, and called them Rosie’s rings! It was cute and the kids liked it. They also got to take home monsters that were on the tables. When I saw this sticker, I knew Rose had to have it for her ring pops! It is just so totally Rose. She did her deep belly giggle when she saw these stickers for her favors!
