Miss Mayhem is 4! (Lots & Lots of Pictures!)

Ok, I know I am horrible at upkeep on this blog! But hey- at least you know it will be updated once a party happens... haha!

Mayhem turned the big 4 this past Saturday!!! How cool is that, her actual birthday was able to be the party date! I know I thought it was pretty neat... ;-)

So anyways, here comes her party! She is obsessed with My Little Pony- Pretty much all other little girls right now are having a Frozen Party... Oh not M, she can't be bothered with that (which I am totally happy with because I like something a little out of the main stream of kids parties! Those of you that know me, know this is  no surprise.. ha!)

I found these adorable MLP invites on Etsy

I let Mackenzie come up with what games she wanted to play- #1) Make your own Unicorn Horn, #2) Pin the Tail on Twilight Sparkle (I didn't get any pictures, darn it!), #3) Pinata... And I threw in a face painter just for good measure!

Star Fairy, Rainbow Dash, & a Panda! 

Make your Own Unicorn Horn Table!

Time to Whack the Pinata! 

He figured it out quick!! 

The three Rainbow Dash Girls! 

A group picture of a some of the kids that we could get to stand still for a picture! Ha! There were about 16 kids from 1 year old to 7 years old that came, Mayhem has quite a varying age group of friends! 

Face Painting isn't just for kids! We are pooped after our fun day! 

M wanted a photobooth area for pictures with her friends, so that is where the back drop came from! It was a fun idea that she helped me make, I love how creative her mind is & I am glad I could give her a party that was as magical in real life as she had imagined in her mind! 

Last but certainly not least-- Check out this amazing cake! Nanny made it for her special girl (not sure if that would be me or Mayhem-- hahahaha!) and it came out beautifully & was quite tasty too! =) We also had those ahhhhmaaaayyzzzing cookies we all know and love!! They were a hit (like always!!!), I love my Cookie Lady!!! 

How perfect did these come out?? She impresses me more and more with every order! 

Make a wish my Sweet Girl! 

"Mommy, this cake is a rainbow!!!!"

Yum!!!! 

I didn't get any pictures of her opening her gifts, but there were quite a few and it took quite awhile to open them! 

We continued our Birthday Celebration on Sunday with a trip to the LA Zoo, my cousin and his family came out for the party, so we all thought it would be fun to see some animals & keep the party going for another day! 

Cousin Day at the Zoo!

I hope you had fun looking at the pictures of our fun time celebrating Mayhem turning 4!!!

Wow! It's so.... GRAND!

Sorry, this was supposed to post the first week of February, and apparently I didn't press publish!! So here it is, the 1st week of April! Not too bad, right????!?! LOL!


Mr. Love of my Life took off a couple days this past week, so the way it fell he ended up with a full week off! I definitely didn't want to stay home for those 8 days- & all of you that know me, know I can't stand sitting still! (Apparently it is a trait I have so fortunately passed on to Miss Mayhem... Errr maybe not so fortunately, ha!)

As soon as I knew his days off were approved I had the wheels in motion for us to hit the road to somewhere! We ended up going to Williams, AZ. He has never been to the Grand Canyon before, and has been wanting to go see it. So off we went! 

We ended up staying at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel & then taking the train to the canyon and back. All three of us had a fun time and enjoyed ourselves. Mayhem got a bag of rocks and a stuffed mule from a couple different gift shops we went thru (another thing about me, I love gift shops! I will go wherever as long as there is a gift shop to browse in after!).

She had an awesome time and loved seeing the "big hole!" Her #1 disappointment: No one fell in... Uhh hello child! We didn't want anyone to fall in!

After our 2 nights at the GCRH, we headed onto Kingman, and then to Oatman, AZ. I had googled activities for us... Oatman looked like an adventure, so off we went! Well it is a tiny, old mining town, that has wild burros roaming around Main Street (Also known as Route 66!), I will just say they get a bit aggressive if they see anything in your hands! We let Daddy do the burro feeding, while Mayhem and I sat back to watch.

So here are some photos for you to enjoy of our trip!

25* was pretty chilly for us California girls! Brrr!!
