Rebecca's Golden Birthday


Our sweet Rebecca Lucy was born on the 4th of July, 4 years ago, so today she is celebrating her GOLDEN birthday!!! We LOVE birthdays here, and a GOLDEN birthday is even more special.

Everyone was extra excited for Rebecca's Golden birthday and pitched in to get the house decorated. Corrine helped her shower and paint her nails, Ammon made a banner for her, and Dad & Corrine went and got her balloons. The big kids all wrapped their presents for her and wanted to help set up the birthday present hunt.



As I was putting Rebecca to bed last night she told me "In the morning when I wake up you'll need to tell me Happy Birthday!" She was SOOO excited to be turning 4. Having big siblings who've all just recently had birthdays and having them excited for her special day made her even more excited!


For breakfast we had our 4th of July pancakes with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and whip cream. What a yummy way to celebrate your birthday!!

Rebecca's request for today-go fishing at the lake we went to last. So that's what we did. We went fishing at Kent Park near the new dock.


The fishing wasn't nearly as good as last time. It was hot and crowded, but she still had a really fun time fishing and having a picnic lunch at the lake.

In the afternoon we had some friends over for a barbecue. We all had lots of friends to play and talk with and Rebecca was in birthday heaven. Corrine made her a cute cake that was suppose to be red, white and blue, but came out more pink and blue/green. But it tasted good!


Rebecca showed me a fun thing she likes to do on the swings. She lays on her tummy and runs until she can't reach and flings herself into the air. She was giggling and having the best time doing this. I was so grateful she had short on under her dress with how much it flipped up. She loves speed and swings so this is so her!


She opened her family presents at the party. She got this cute vacuum from Grandma & Grandpa Smith. She, and all the kids there, LOVED this vacuum. She was so sweet to share it with all the kids who wanted a turn to vacuum the front room.

 We ended the night watching the Coralville fireworks. Rebecca had such a fun GOLDEN birthday, that she fell fast asleep on the drive home from the fireworks.

Happy Birthday Rebecca Lucy. We LOVE you!!!
