Toryn's My Little Pony 4th Birthday Party!

The birthday girl just waking up on her 4th birthday!

Toryn playing with her birthday balloons.



Scooby Doo pancakes! Toryn loves scooby doo. :)

Eating her scooby panakes and watch one of her fave shows.

Toryn's first present on her birthday! It was from her aunt Angelle. :)

Then the rest were from her grandma. She gave Toryn a Pinkie Pie dress to wear for her party! so perfect. :)

Toryn AND Caelen sportin' Toryn's new clothes and shoes. :)

I tried to match a food to each of the main ponies... Rarity- rock (gem)candy, Apple Jack- rice krispy haystacks, Fluttershy & Angel bunny- veggies.

Pinkie Pie- fun marshmallow popcorn balls with lots of sprinkles, Rainbow Dash- fruit rainbow with vanilla yogurt and cream cheese dip, and Twilight Sparkle- purple pancake muffins with purple sugar sprinkles on top.



I was so stoked on these, I made them myself! They usually need about a week to grow but I only had 4 days...they turned out awesome anyways!

I did apple juice for Apple Jack and just lemon-lime soda so you could see the fun refreezable ice stars I found at
Wal-mart that were just the right colors for the party!



Toryn all ready and excited for her party. :)

she got all the ponies for her birthday. i found them all at DI! Gotta love people getting rid of what we need. :)

We got this awesome "pony" house for her for her birthday too. We made it more then just decor, we put the little guest gift boxes on it too. :) 



Cutie Mark Crusaders and cuties marks (temp tattoos) for everyone to pick out and put on. :)

We drew out pony names for everyone and wrote them on "hello, my name is..." stickers.

Gem Dig.

Rarity likes to dig for Gems so I thought it would be fun to have the kids do it too. :)

The glitter picture table...I printed out a bunch of my little pony pics and had the kids use glue and glitter to make them pretty. And we had a silly string for everyone. :)

My sister Angelle did an awesome job drawing Twilight. We didn't find other hair that could be a tail, so we just used the bow that was like hair.

Toryn helped decorate for her party, can you tell? :)



Toryn's awesome Twilight Sparkle birthday cake and cupcakes. My sister Cierra helped do the frosting and the finishing touches. Turned out amazing!

I'm eating a rock candy and putting on Toryn's cutie mark. I think she ended up do like 3 or 4 of them. :)

Classic Toryn face. Can't believe she's 4!

Having fun playing Pin the Tail on the Pony.

Pony Pinata.





Toryn was happy with how much candy she got.



Lots of cool presents. :)

 

I love this picture! We were singing Happy Birthday to her.

Toryn getting some help to blow the candle.

She wanted to do the ice cream herself.

I made the cake and cupcakes multicolored with all the pony colors. Turned out so fun!

Just chillin' with her brother and cousins.

A big cheese from Caelen while Toryn is sneakily painting her nails with her new polish.

Fire damage

This use to be a trash can...for the fact that there really isn't much left we figure the fire was probably in this can.

This is all that's left of the other one.

It got so hot that it melted our meter, our phone/ internet line box, and the recycling cans that were on the ground next to the cans. And see that pipe line on the back of our house? That's a gas line...

It burned our dryer vent and nothing else in the wall, including the gas line to the dryer. We are so blessed!!

It got so hot it melted our little play kitchen...



A closer look at the melted phone line box and cans/

You can't see in this pic but the rain gutter and bottom of the roof got scorched some and our tree ended losing some leaves from the heat and smoke damage. Poor thing. But over all, even though it sucked, we feel very blessed because it could of been a whole lot worse. Our house should of exploded twice from the 2 gas lines...The inside of the wall where the dryer vent should of had fire in it, but didn't. The fire could of been up in our roof, but wasn't. We know for a fact that God was protecting our house that night. There is no doubt about that. It should of been a lot worse but wasn't because God is good. :)

Our eventful 4th of July...

This was my lovely chalk art on our walkway.

The day before our tire tore down to the metal, so we didn't think we were going to be able to go anywhere for the 4th...

But Joe, my husband, is awesome and put on our spare. Thankfully we had one!

Toryn wanted to help daddy was the car but Joe had just started drying it so I suggested she was hers instead. :)

My handsome husband making are car looks so fresh and so clean clean. :)

They were making sure their car is nice and clean.

Jex, my brother, surprised us and brought over some fireworks to our house. This is everyone waiting for them to start. :)

Joe, crackin' me up. :)

Toryn was in the middle of having the chicken pox and fever so she was pretty miserable during the fireworks. She really didn't like all the loud noises. Poor thing.

Woo fireworks!!

Sparkler fun. :)

Sparkley...

colorful... :)

This firework was cool! It was our finale.

My handsome little man, Caelen, slept through the fireworks art our house but he was excited for the St. George city ones.

Cozy on Blvd waiting for the fireworks to start.

And this is what we came home to...our whole block was filled with fire trucks, ambulances, etc.

And guess who's house was on fire? Ours!! The firesorks that we had done earlier didn't get put out all the way and our trash cans went ablaze and scorched the back of our house. A little more eventful than we thought the day was going to be.
