happy birthday kamryn !

this is kamryn 6 years ago today. yep... today is her birthday (she is 6 going on 16!). she has grown up sooo much and is such a sweet little princess (she reminds me often, that she was my 1st princess ~ now i have 4). so, anyway, when we asked her where she wanted us to take her for her birthday dinner, her 1st response was 'panda express'. but after a little persuading and coaxing from her grandpa, she decided it would be okay to go to 'chin wah'.

i took her shopping and she knew exactly WHAT she wanted ~ so we bought her a jump rope with wooden handles, some other jump thing, and some 'pet shop' ongerie'. after shopping, we met grandpa at 'chin wahs'. she was bound and determined that she was going to eat her dinner with chop sticks (she even tried to eat her soup with them).

she did pretty good. when she asked grandpa why he didn't want to use the chop sticks, he told her that 'he wanted to be able to EAT' his dinner.
BUT... the thing she wanted most to do, (probably, because she KNEW that grandpa and gramma would take her). was to go up to 'east high' school.

when we asked WHAT was so cool about 'east high', the response we got...

"duuhhh! that's where 'high school musical' was filmed". she was so stinkin' excited on the way. she probably asked at least a dozen times, "are we there yet, are we there yet ?" when we got there, we drove around the block so she could see the 'whole' thing. she saw the ball field and proceded to tell us "oh that's where ----- played ball". after going around the block, grandpa let us get out to take some pictures.

she is such a poser (she gets that from her mom and her auntie mel!)

while we were taking pictures, these 4 cute girls came across the street. one had on an 'east high' sweatshirt. i told kamryn that maybe they would let me take a picture of her with them. she was mortified to think that i would really ask them. so when they got close, i told them it was kamryns birthday and she wanted so bad to see their school. ; then i asked the girl with the sweatshirt if i could take a picture of her with kamryn (i thought kamryn was going to crawl under the sidewalk, she was sooo embarrased.) but the girls were darling and one even said, "here, i'll take the picture, you get in it with them" (good thing, because kamryn was 'glued' to me and wouldn't even look at them).

i told kamryn, that all of her friends would think that she had her picture taken with someone that was actually in 'high school musical'. the cute girl in the 'east high' sweatshirt, said "well... i wasn't really in the movie", and the little gal taking the picture said "i was!", but kamryn wouldn't say anything to any of them (she was pretending to be shy!)
after we got back into the car, i asked kamryn if she remembered seeing the one girl in the movie, and she said "yea, she was so and so (i can't remember the name), i remember, because she had blonde hair". so now she has been there and seen where 'high school musical' was filmed AND she met someone that was really in the movie (whether it was the one with the blonde hair or not, it doesn't really matter, to her)

happy birthday kamryn! we had a fun night spoiling just you!

and.... we love you to pieces!!!
