Kizzy picked out all of her decorations and food. She looked at pictures on pinterest with me and planned out everything that she wanted. The exception being the rainbow balloons in the picture below. I will take credit for that. I did not see it on pinterest, I just thought it up and surprised her with it.
The inside of the cake was different colored layers. I forgot to take a picture of the inside.
Kizzy's Rainbow drinks.
We surprised her on her birthday morning with a balloon cascade. She loved it.
She took the opening of presents very seriously. No matter how excited she was for what ever was inside, she just plowed through until they were all open.
And finally the surprise of her life. She had been begging for a scooter earlier in the summer and I kind of suggested that she wouldn't get one. So she was very very surprised to open this PRINCESS scooter. She was one happy girl. Happy Birthday to my big 5 year old!

Preschool is over, now on to Kindergarten!
Back in May Kizzy graduated from Preschool. She is officially done, and will be a kindergartener this fall. She is enrolled in Connections Academy, the online public school. We had some major concerns with our school district's schedule and bus system so we researched what our options would be and found Connections Academy. Kizzy will be a very young 5 when the school year starts, so if online school is not a good fit for her, the worst case scenario would be a repeat of her kindergarten year. Most of the children the same age as her within a week or two of her birthday are starting next year anyway, so repeating Kindergarten wouldn't be so bad for her. She is ready for the academic challenge though, and we are excited for all that CA has to offer.

Home
People have requested pictures of our new home, so here they are!
Dining Area -note my fireplace in the corner
From this view you can see our sliding glass door and our patio beyond
My kitchen as viewed from the dining area. Forgive the mess, I was taking pictures while baking cookies. I love this room! I have so many cupboards, all the cupboards have pullout drawers and organizers. I also love my low bar stool area, it's so nice for kids art projects and lunches.
View of the kitchen work area.
The entire kitchen/dining room
This is the living room. It's too large to catch the whole room in one picture, so this is the front half.
This is the second half. The wall backs up to the kitchen if you are wondering about the layout.
View of the entry of the living room. That door you see is the coat closet at the top of the entry stairs.
Basement guest room. (Also being used as an exercise room)
Downstairs guest bathroom
1/2 of the family room, with the window seat. We have painters tape up because we are working on painting the trim and eventually the shelves. I plan to cover the window seat with new fabric. And hopefully soon we will have our couch down there and the tv hooked up!
The other half of the family room. Above the fire place is the cut out for the TV. The room opens up into another area we've named the "library"
Kids area! I love that it's down in the basement and I'm not tripping over it all the time!
Our "library"
Downstairs bedroom turned play room
Downstairs bedroom turned office space. This room is still a work in progress. So far Kyle does his personal studying down here, It still has a ways to go before it can be used as a home office for either of us. And when the kids get older it will probably be the first to be turned into a bedroom.
Back upstairs this is Kizzy's bedroom
Directly across the hall is the kids bathroom. The bathtub needs to be replaced and is unusable, but the rest of the room is exactly what the kids need. Behind the door is a linen closet that is huge!
Karter's side of the boys bedroom.
Kendal's side of the boys room.
This is a fraction of the walk in master closet. I couldn't get a good angle of the rest of the closet, but it is enormous! There's a window, built in ironing board and more than double the amount of organizers than you can see.
Master bathroom. The tub is jetted and there is another sink I just didn't take a picture of it.
The master shower. Around the corner is the separate toilet area.
The master bedroom. I love our stained glass window.
This is currently our only hooked up tv, so this area of the master gets pretty messy from the kids. The door you see leads out to a patio that over looks the swing set. If you look in the ceiling you can see our skylight. It's hard to see, but Kizzy is sitting in the lovesac watching something.
The other half of the master bedroom.
The first patio off of the kitchen through the sliding glass doors.
The second patio from the other kitchen door, the steps up lead to the area outside the master.
The view of the swing set. I love that I can see it from the kitchen and the bedroom.
