ALOHA! Sasha turns 11....

 One humid Iowa summer evening I went into labor...a week late!!!  I remember crying to my mom saying I didn't think I'd ever have this baby!  Ya, I was a little dramatic.  My mom and sister flew in on a Friday, and Sasha was born just past midnight on Saturday night, August 19th, 2001.  It was a long, crazy delivery that ended in a c-section...she was 9 pounds and was stuck!!!  She healed many hearts with her arrival and we are so blessed to have her in our family.
She has wanted a Luau party for a long time so we finally did it!  The dollar store saved the day as did my cricut machine, and also my many decorations I have made for Relief Society Activities\Parties. 

 We had a quiz called "How well do you know Sasha" where the girls had to answer questions about Sasha.  We also had a jar with 303 Skittles in it....they had to guess the number and the closest one got to take home the jar.  Easy games with inexpensive prizes.  Have I ever mentioned I am frugal....and\or cheap??
I looked up each girl's Hawaiian name and made flowers on my Cricut machine for each one.  One side had their English name, and the other had their Hawaiian name.  I also laminated them so they could save them forever.......  ;)
This in kinda out of order, but we got her a Big Time Rush t-shirt.  Remember we went to the concert?  The shirts there were $35 and above!  Walmart saved the day.  $6.97, Baby!

 We decorated the fence.............
 Pools are great to have in your backyard.  Especially if your neighbors give it to you.  Great for parties!!  Maybe we should rent it out.....  :)
She has quite a collection going of these cute dolls.  Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Lindsay sure made her day with their gift!

Some of the party goers giving me their best Hula pose!  Such cute girls!  Such a fun day! Happy Birthday, to our Sweet Sasha Belle!
