Happy Birthday Chelsea!!!!

On July 1st Chelsea turned 6 years old. She has such a love for life that is is great to see her blossoming into a young girl. Last year I didn't throw her a friend birthday party and I ,to this day, have not heard the end of it. ( I think it will probably follow me to the grave) We had a wonderful day filled with all the fun things that Chelsea had planned for us for the day. For the first time since Chelsea was born, I had to work on her birthday. It really SUCKED!!!!!!! I have always been the one at home with the kids on their birthdays. Now I know how Aaron feels. So the fun things that happened without me were, The kids and Aaron Went to the Middle school for lunch. ( During the summertime, the City of Logan feed children from 0-18 for free Monday - Thurs. Its great for the pocketbook! Not to mention the kids absolutely LOVE it) and then went and did some other things ( which I can't remember because I have waited too long to put this post up, go figure!)After I got home Chelsea wanted to go for a bike ride, at first it was just going to be her and me, but then Chelsea decided that her siblings should come as well. We went to the park where we played with Tennyson and Carolyn-Kate. Tennyson shared Otter pops with us in lue of the hot afternoon and we were So excited to get to spend time with our friends. For dinner Chelsea wanted Fried Shrimp, Boiled Eggs, Hot dogs, and BBQ chips. What a dinner huh?!
For the 2nd year in a row Aaron has called Chelsea's name into the local radio station to wish her a Happy Birthday.And for the 2nd year in a row she won the daily drawing. Around here that is known as the Coltrin Luck :() So she got a free birthday cake from a local Bakery, a surprise gift from Coppin's Hallmark, A free ice cream from Caspers and a free lunch from Papa Kelseys. She was totally excited! She got a Ty beanie baby teddy bear from Coppins and a beautiful cake with red roses on it from the Bakery.Of course we had cake and Ice cream on her birthday but I wouldn't let her open her present from her Aunt Kalinda and Uncle Brad because unknown to her and the other kids, My parents and Kalinda were coming up to help Shannon and Larry move into the house that they just closed on yesterday July 9th. And keeping with my tradition I am going to make a list about Chelsea. So without further ado here I go...

1. I love that Chelsea is willing to help me non-stop when I am working in the garden.
2. Chelsea has a love for life. She never slows down.
3.She is a girly-girl through and through. Sadly this year I was not able to dress her all up and do her hair for her birthday, but non the less . Bling all the way baby!!!
4.Chelsea is learning how to do chores and help me around the house. Vacuuming is the hardest thing for her to do. ( don't tell her but, It is so cute to see her try and push the vacuum but keep the handle high enough to let the vacuum make contact with the carpet.
5.She is VERY stubborn. There are times when she will do something similar to what I did to my mom when I was young, and I will call my mother and tell her how sorry I am for doing that when I was young. ( my mom just laughs and say in a cute voice, I understand )
6.Chelsea loves loves loves to draw, color, and write. She ALWAYS has a pen in her hand. I love the little notes that I constantly find on my pillow and the cute drawings that I get on the fridge.

I have a wonderful little girl. I am truly blessed to have her in my family. Jesus and heavenly father have been constant companions to our family and always will be. What a wonderful gift to know that me family will be with me for all of eternity.

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Athena Winter Farnsworth made her debut on Friday September 5, at 2:44 pm. We couldnt be more ecstatic. Kyah did really well. She was induced, she went to the hospital at 6:15 and even before starting patossin, she was dilated to a 3 and contracting.  She asked me to come with she and John to help support her through her labor. I was more than happy to go. I was ready for the long haul, because i was in labor with her for almost 18 hours. But she progressed so steadily. She was at a 5 busy 12, and by 2 was pushing.  She did so great. She was a trooper through it all. It was such a special experience to be able to document the day for them.  She of course has my nose 🥳... the genes are strong for that one. Aaron and I are just elated  to be a grammy and grumpa again!  She is home now and we are all smitten with her. We are very blessed to have those little one join our family. Congrats Kyah and John!  ...

AND THE VERDICT IS... A mix of # 4 and # 5. I went to the hair stylist and hacked off 12 inches of beautiful hair today. When she did it I almost got light-headed. It is very different, When I walked through the door, the first thing Aaron said to me was ... " I DON'T LIKE IT ! " Well I knew that he would react this way because he LOVES long hair. I LO VE it though and it took about 5 minutes to style( which is a far cry from long hair that you have to blow-dry, straighten and then keep out of your face all day) I am very excited about this new look . I told Aaron , Just look at it this way... Look at all the money I am saving us on shampoo and extra water for the time it took me in the shower.... He didn't appreciate my humor. Oh well. ;O)
