Jayda's Birthday

We did most of Jayda's birthday in San Diego for my family, but on the actual day of her birthday, I thought we should still get out and do something fun! We met over at Houston Park with some friends where they have great fountains to run through. The kids can't get enough, and it's free! They enjoyed some birthday rice crispy treats and playing on the playground as well.









I can't believe my baby girl is already five! She is such a joy and full of all sorts of surprises. Here are a few facts about Jayda:

She is comprised of 100% imagination. She is always telling stories, or singing songs she has made up. Sometimes I think she even goes to an imaginative place. It makes it hard for her to focus sometimes, but it also makes her adorable, and full of excitement.

She LOVES to color. Find an untouched picture and she will be sure to add color to it. She is also very into accessorizing and decorating. Sometimes is works, sometimes it doesn't.

She is a very good big sister, even when the younger kids aren't her brother. She likes to make up fun games and ideas to keep kids around her occupied. She's very sensitive to other's feelings.

Jayda is such a sweetheart, and as fun as it is to see her go off to kindergarten, it's just not the same at home without her.

Jayda loves food about as much as I do, including all of the fun cooking shows on TV. She really threw me for a loop when she requested chicken ravioli with red sauce for her birthday dinner. It was the first time making homemade ravioli, but it turned out great and ended up being a lot of fun. Jayda was an excellent helper!
