Party Time!

Another thing we've been doing a LOT on Saturdays is birthday parties. Here are just a few we've been to in the past few months.

Caleb's was at a skating rink . The kids all brought ride on toys since they were little and can't skate yet. It was fun!

Jake enjoyed pretending to drive.

Ryder's party was at a local gymnastics place. 
The foam pit was awesome!

The in-ground trampoline was Jake's favorite.

(Blurry) Dancing with the birthday boy!

A lot of running happened. This was a really long trampoline.

Jake had his first blower.

The same afternoon as Ryder's party we went to Parker's party. 
Parker's grandpa bought him this sweet bounce house.

Pinata Time!

 
They filled the ball pit with balloons! Fun!

And then cousin Joey's first birthday!
Jake LOVES Joey!

Easter: It Was 2 1/2 Months Ago

Yes. We celebrated Easter. By going to FIVE egg hunts. FIVE.

We did one with some kids from church. They did some activities before including follow the leader. They were walking backwards here. Jake carried that stick the whole time.

Jake only got two eggs. 
Everyone else got like 20. 
He got two. 
It was sad.

The day before Easter we scouted out churches 
having free hunts for the public.

He did better on this one because they 
did the "Everyone Gets Ten" rule.

Thanks for the hard candy.

Church #2 didn't go as well, as parents were not allowed into the hunting area. But some teens felt sorry for him and gave him some big handfuls of eggs. Good ol' teens.

They had cute inflatable Easter decor everywhere.

They also had a fun train that went around the church.

Easter Day
Put your kid on a swing. 
He'll sit still for a picture!

He found the Elmo egg!

He totally won our front yard egg hunt.

He loved his HUGE Dinosaur Train coloring book.

He went to town coloring apparently 
evil dinosaurs on his new table.

Cracking the eggs.

Jack really wanted to help.

That baseball in a baseball is exciting!

Baskets make excellent hats.

And lastly the hunt at Mimi and Pop's house.

Jake found rocks.

They made it really hard for the biggest kid.

Jake enjoyed hanging with his BFF/second cousin (?) Joey.

Jenna and Me

Ok. The blog is coming back. For real. I have like 8 posts already uploaded. So get ready. Four months of events are about to come at you like a whirlwind.
Also, forgive that ridiculously small header up top. I'm working on it. 
P.S. Blogger has TOTALLY changed their format since I've been gone, so give me a break on the appearance of posts until I understand it.















So Jenna. She's the greatest. We met in college when we randomly had 3 classes together in a row at A&M our Freshman year. This was us Junior year when we got our Aggie Rings. (We just had our Ten Year Aggie Ringiversary!)
(I can't get this picture to center.)

 This was the last time we had seen each other. 
It was four years ago. 
She only had two kids.
I had zero.




 
Over Christmas break though, we were both in the DFW area at the same time! Unbelievable. So Jake and I met her at her in-laws' house for a gather of the children. Yes, she has four precious adorable children now. Baby Karis was only about two weeks old, but they had come to town for the big kids to be in a wedding.



If we lived in the same town , Jake and Carlee would totally be boyfriend/girlfriend.



Stop looking at Kennedy! She's too old for you!

Sweet big sister.

And this was the first of many attempts to get a picture of us all.
Colby's my favorite in this picture.
Love you Jenna! Let's not let it be four years again!

Oral-B Stages Party!

I was chosen to host an Oral-B Stages Mommy Party! They sent me this HUGE box of stuff to share with friends and have a party with!

The table full of giveaways!

Each family got Oral-B Stages toothpaste and toothbrushes, Oral-B coupons and information sheets, and Disney Daily Renewals Naturals baby wash.

They also sent popcorn buckets and popcorn. I added a few extra snacks so the kids could mix them all up!

The kids had fun with the balloons that came in the party box.

Everyone got their snacks and got ready for the movie.

All of the party guests.

They sent a Winnie the Pooh DVD for us to watch.

Everybody had a really great time!

Arkansas State Fair

I may never catch up with blog posts... We went to the state fair. Jake had a good ol' time.

Chillin' on the tractor.

My BFF Sarah went with us.
She was terrified of the giant cow.
As was I.

Jake didn't want to get close to the
cows, but liked them from afar.

Seeing the baby ducks.

Watching the piglets chow down.

And some chicks.

That horse is my size!

Watching the poor baby ducks.
Forced to lean over the drop-off to get food.

To go sliding like this.

The obligatory state fair corn dog.

And he got to ride his first amusement park ride!
He totally loved it.

And we ended at the petting area, where the
donkey, zebra, and camel lived together.
Just like in nature.
