Hailey's late 7th birthday party

We had Hailey's birthday party almost a month late.  Her best friend couldn't come when we had it scheduled the first time so she wanted to wait until they came back from vacation.  Her theme was.....can you guess???  Alright, I figured no one would be able to figure it out....ELEPHANTS.  : )
The came came from Hailey's own design.  She told us she wanted two elephants with their trunks together in the shape of a heart.  So, Daddy drew it!  

Lindsey really helped me get ready for the party.  She was a huge help. Daddy was still getting over his cellulitus infection so he was down for the count!  

She even decorated the side walk with chalk.

Notice Hailey's shirt!  Bob scanned the picture he drew of the elephants and then scanned it into the computer and we bought iron-on paper and made Hailey a shirt to match her cake!  She LOVED it!

She's pretending to eat the cake!

She was STILL trying to get over her migraine.  She would feel better and then she would get dizzy and her head would hurt again.  The first half of her party was spent on Daddy's lap with her sun glasses on.   She was watching everyone play.  It was so sad to watch!
This is Hailey's friend Jane from school.  Jane had to leave early because she's allergic to the grass and she was starting to itch really bad.
Johnny, Jane and Lindsey playing in the sprinkler.
Everyone hanging out at the party.  
Little LauraBeth was spraying Hailey's toes with the water.
Craft time.  Hailey still wanted to sit on Daddy's lap. 


LauraBeth had fun just sitting on the ground playing with the little animals.  She was so sweet!

Cake time!  AnnaClaire, Hailey and Kristen.

One last picture of the cake and shirt before we cut it.
YUMMY!
Hailey and AnnaClaire.  Hailey started feeling better after she had some cake and ice cream!
Present time!
Stepping Stones!  I love these!
She got an outfit for her Build-a-Bear elephant.  She's had him for awhile but she never had clothes for him.
This is a game like Jenga and also Yatzee.
Oh yeah...an Eskimo's gift certificate.  Or as Hailey would say Gift Certifercate.
The kids tossed water balloons back and forth to each other.
Is she going to catch it??
Christopher caught one!
LauraBeth had fun on the tire swing.
We had the sprinkler going and it made a big muddy mess, which ended up being a lot of fun for the kids.  Caleb was probably the muddiest!  
They were sliding all over the mud.
Hailey LOVES to be dirty!!
Jacob, Johnny, Hailey and Caleb.
Lindsey swimming in the mud.
Mud, mud and more mud!
Hailey even muddier!

Relaxing after the party with the Schmidt's!
I know Hailey wishes she would have felt better for her party, but I think she still ended up having a pretty good time!
