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.

Sea World!

Jake and I were going to visit my dad for his 60th birthday. (Jon had to stay and work.) Then my parents decided that they wanted to take us to Sea World while we were there! What?! So much fun. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. The rest are here if you care.


Of course we had to go visit the Alamo the night before.
Pardon the blurriness.

We're here!

Shamu: Statue Edition

Shamu: Real Edition

He LOVED it!

Sea Lion: Statue Edition

"Feed me!"

Feeding him.

We went to Shamu twice because it was so awesome.

Love this picture.

First time in a big bed. He was exhausted.

Pirate Parrrrrrrrrty!

Jake turned three waaaaaaaay back in March. He is ALL up into pirates (see: Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney), so we had a pirate party. Here are a few of the highlights and favorites. If you care to see more pictures, I have some more on Facebook.

This was the only three seconds that he had on
the bandana and eyepatch the whole party.


The party table.
I actually bought that tablecloth on clearance last
summer thinking we would have a Cat in the Hat party.
Totally worked for a pirate party too.


Pirate ships and buried treasure cupcakes.
