Cousins

Jocelyn and I were able to make a quick trip to Utah with MiMi to meet Mykayla, Jocelyn's new cousin. (I'm not allowed to call her my niece b/c "She is MY cousin, Mom") We had a great time catching up with John and Myrica and seeing Aiden and Mykayla.

Giddy Up Cowgirl!

We had Jocelyn's party yesterday at the ranch! (I scheduled it a week before her actual birthday b/c BYU is playing UNM the weekend of her birthday and I knew most of our friends would be at the game!) She was SO excited to show all her friends the horses and other animals! We could not have asked for better weather. It was gorgeous and 70 degrees! Jocelyn looked so cute in her cowgirl outfit that MiMi and Grandpa Castle gave her!

Jocelyn and Jessica waiting for the party to start.

It was such an easy party to decorate since it was outdoors! Cowboy boots that the kids got to fill the pinata candy in and a cowboy hat for everyone.

This is Bryson. His Mom told me when they bought Jocelyn a present, he handed it to the cashier and said, "this is for my girlfriend!" So funny. He also announced to Jocelyn that he is going to marry her. (Then she rolled her eyes.)

The Birthday Girl! She told me she didn't want to wait a week to turn five, so if you ask her, she is now five!

All the horses are so sweet and loved the attention!

Caught red handed, Bryson! That's Jocelyn's boyfriend holding another girls hand! UH OH!

All the kids got their faces painted! Jocelyn wanted a yellow horse.

Cute Miss Kendra with her star.

Checking out the cake!

I printed some pictures of Jocelyn's lessons in black and white for the cake/present table.

I love this girl so much! Jocelyn, PLEASE stop growing up SO fast!

This is one of my favorite pictures! What could be better? Cake and ice cream with horses nearby!

This is Jocelyn with "Donkey". He is so friendly but definitely loud!
PRESENT TIME!




"Follow me, guys! Pinata time!"

YEE-HAW! Happy Birthday Jocelyn!
