Hannah turns 6!

Well, this is a first attempt at a castle cake. I ran out of time and had to cut corners on the decor to get it done in time to leave. The point is, it's edible.

Hannah loves the Jump On It place and always asks to go back so when thinking of where to go for her birthday, the choice was obvious. This pic is Koen in the background. You can't tell but he is behind a net. He kept sneaking out of the little kid section into the adult side. Apparently he thinks he's bigger than he is.

Koen, our little runaway. The first time we went here he was very hesitant on on the unstable surfaces. This time was a totally reinvented Koen. He climbed, jumped and slid down everything that would let him.

The birthday girl!

Our toothless wonder!

Aidan showing off his extreme jumping skills.

Dallin was also experimenting with tricks. Barry and I kept watching him as he would jump up and flail his arms and legs as much as he could before he would hit the trampoline again.

I love Hannah's mohawk in this pic.

My beautiful Hubby!

Munchy!

Reed in the big kid section! We're so proud!

Barry playing catch with Kael.

The party moved to the "Castle Park" where every able bodied kite flyer was putting their wind vs. plastic skills to the test. The boys proved to be instant pros.

We soon littered the sky with Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear, Optimus Prime, Spiderman and yes, Barbies.

A few mishaps happened. Dallin got Spiderman caught but not for long.

Here is the tragic loss of Lightning McQueen in a clash with a nearby tree. After being stuck for a while, he was finally rescued but lost an appendage in the process and was fairly crippled and retired.

After some brief instruction, Hannah kept her kite up until it was time to eat cake.

The cake barely survived the 25 minute trip in the back of Chuck (Excursion).

Blowing out the candle!

Every girl loves a little green stuff

More presents!

A Few Pics From February

The twins decided one night that it would be fun to play in the clothes hamper......and apparently, it was.

The twin's hair have both gotten pretty long. I haven't wanted to cut it right away since it's still pretty cold out. So being in this conundrom you get all kinds of interesting post-nap hair-dos. This is Kael after a nap which style we thought needed some photographic attention.

I think this face better matches the hair...LOL

This is an attempted group headstand.

The twins love to copy their big brothers and sister.

So if you've followed the blog at all you would know that the twins broke their bedroom window last fall and we've managed to tape it back together for now until we can replace it. So, to add on to the developing story of their window, Kael wasn't interested in going to bed one night and thought it might be entertaining to push a hole through the taped up hole and begin to shove toys through it. Smelling trouble a-brew, Barry went upstairs and caught Kael at the window and re patched the hole. It wasn't 'till morning that we discovered most of the small toys were missing from the room. When we put 2 and 2 together, we looked at each other, put on the shoes and grabbed the camera. When we walked to the side of the house we discovered a pile of toys right below their bedroom window covered in a thin blanket of snow we received that night.

With the exception of the bike, all the toys seen here escaped the bedroom the night before with the help of Kael. Not all escapees are shown in this photo. The toys were then defrosted, cleaned and returned. The window now covered by a large piece of cardboard and we're hoping to get a new window next week.

Jump On It!

This past weekend we took the kids to Jump On It. Everyone but Hannah was free since she's over 4. For an hour we let the kids run wild and everything, with the exception of the arcade area, you could jump on! Most of the place was filled with connecting trampolines sectioned off with nets for adults and kids. On the adult side a few people had snowboards and were practicing flips an jumps. So we started with the blow up jumpy things. Kael was a little hesitant because these slides were like no other slide he'd seen before at different parks. He sat at the top and looked down observing the few kids that had passed him up. After he determined it was safe he turned on his belly and slowly descended. Hannah had passed him up and was on her second slide. Koen took one look at the slide and decided that was not for him!

Don't feed the Klayton!

Dallin was constantly on the move, jumping from one thing to the next.

Kyrsten and Brody.

Brody especially loved running really fast on the trampolines.

Me and a sexy man I picked up!!!

Hannah riding with no hands!

The twins LOVE cars. The movie, toys, games, clothing, our vehicles, anything relating to a car sparks their interests so I was not surprised to see Kael run off to the driving game.

Love my Kael!
