Because the cake was so big and beautiful we had to share it. We invited the Gehretts and Webbs over and Ady asked to have it be her birthday cake so "I wouldn't have to make another one for her." (example of her thoughtfulness.)
Ellie and Anna Gehrett with Maisy Webb and Ads.
On Monday, Ady's birthday she asked for homemade pizza and a fruit salad in a watermelon. I believe we had that last year too. We also had strawberry shortcake for dessert. All she wanted to do on her birthday was go to the church and play games as a family. She's so low maintanance... I hope it lasts.
Kaden's loving the shortcake.
Daddy's artwork for the birthday girl. The girls thought it was weird that it said, "Happy Adyson Birthday." 
I've said it before but Ady loves to claim herself as a fashion designer. (Maryn even lets her pick out her clothes on school days. ) Ady asked for some Spring clothes. Especially since she and Emmy have been sharing clothes and they are still wearing some of Maryn's hand-me-downs she is in desperate need of some fresh clothes. Adyson is a great artist too. This year she has made some amazing art pieces at school and at home. I made her a book of her artwork that I scanned into the computer and had published. The hug that came with that book was totally worth the effort it took to make. 
She is the tetherball recess champ at school and got a tetherball for her birthday. It was set up in our backyard as her friends were arriving for her birthday party on Friday. She was crazy happy about that gift.
Her friend party consisted of our spaghetti dinner with no dishes. Her friends got dressed up in their garbage bags and thought we were the weirdest family around.
Sometimes I think that my kids are picky eaters until I am around other kids. I couldn't believe that out of 6 girls only 2 had sauce on their spaghetti...only 2 had salad and 2 hated garlic bread. Come on you parents! What's up with that? It's YOUR fault they're picky not theirs.
In hopes of warm weather we made our rag flip-flops. They turned out adorable!!
Ady's friends are Georgia, Sophia, Nadia, Anna and Maya. All great girls from her school class.
Adyson's class at school made a book of why they like her. Each drew a picture and wrote 4 sentences of why Ady is unique and special. Every single student made a comment about Ady is smart (which she doesn't think she is, but just goes to show ya that others see you totally different that you see yourself.) They also said she was funny, had a great laugh, was the nicest girl in class and small but mighty. A parent loves to see that others see great qualities in their child. Ady is SO special. Sometimes I think that Ady is one of Heavenly Father's favorites. I think that she came to our house because WE needed her Spirit. She is so thoughtful of others. Example from this week: On the way to gymnastics Ady happily switched leotards with Emmy because Emmy didn't want to wear the plain black one with straps that slid off her shoulders. Emmy was carrying on and on about it, so Ady stripped down in the car, took off her leotard and switched with Emmy eventhough the straps were even bigger on Ady's shoulders. She said that she didn't want Emmy to be uncomfortable at gymnastics and she wanted her to stop crying. Another example from her birthday: Ady got a package of TWIX for a gift... her very favorite candy. Everyone she was with wanted one so she passed them all out until they were gone leaving her with NONE for herself. She said it wasn't a big deal. I could go on and on about how special she is. She'll see someone carrying something heavy and make a comment about "they must be so tired." Or she'll come help me do something because I've "had a big day." She is a peacemaker. I learn from her all the time. She is sweet and kind. She hardly complains and whines when she practices the piano, which, I might add she is getting really good at. She loves to help in the kitchen. She loves to watch t.v. She is working on gaining 20 pounds by August so she can ride horses at Ensign Ranch. She only weighs 47 pounds. Ady is our "precious moments" girl who wants to do what is right and who tries to help others choose the right too. She has a good heart. I can't believe that my little Adsie is 9 years old! Happy Birthday!!
