Funderland

Last weekend, we went to my friend Ashleigh’s son, Griffin’s 3rd birthday party at Funderland in Sacramento.  My mom (Nana) was able to come with us and join in on the fun.  Griffin had a great 3rd birthday and all of his guests had a blast.  After the party was over, we headed home.  I wanted to drive south and go straight to Disneyland……

Busy Weekend!

This past weekend was filled with good times with family and friends.  Just doesn’t get any better.

On Saturday, we had Mindy, Jeremy, Hannah and Cole visit in the morning and in the evening, we got to visit with Doug, Tina, Austin & Aliyah.  The kids had so much fun together (and the adults did too).  Mindy showed me how to update the blog much faster and added a nice layout.  Hope you enjoy it. 

Hannah and Jack lounging together.  They played together for hours without a single argument.  They love each other so much.

Cole the little cuddle bug.  He loves his momma.

Here is a rare moment where Jack and Austin are sitting still.  These boys were wound up and very excited to see each other.

While the big boys were busy being crazy, Ben & Aliyah had fun pushing each other in the cozy coupe.

On Sunday, Jack  had 2 birthday parties to attend.  He made a race car out of a cardboard box and then raced all around at JT’s 4th birthday party in the morning.  Then it was off to pizza and a movie for Griffin’s 5th birthday.  Griffin’s parents were brave enough to take 8 kids to see the movie How to Train Your Dragon.  Jack absolutely loved it and has not stopped reenacting the movie for us.  Here he is pretending to be Night Fury.

Love the way this boy wears his hats.

Our baby is TWO!!

How on earth did this happen? And why so fast? We can't believe how quickly two years has gone by. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was hugely pregnant and incredibly uncomfortable, wishing labor would start already.

Now here we are two years later with the most adorable, fun-loving, sweetheart of a boy. He brings us so much joy every single day.

To celebrate Ben's birthday, we took the boys to Coconut Bowl. We tried our hand at bowling (probably not the best idea for a 2 yr old). He lost interest after his 2nd turn. His big brother, Jack was completely into it. Running full force down the runway (not sure what the correct term is) and dropping the bowling ball, shaking the entire bowling alley. I was worried that we'd be kicked out. He loved every minute of it.

Ben was ready for some lunch, so we had some pizza and chicken strips. Then we were off to the High Ballocity indoor climbing area with lots of slides for Ben and machines that shoot squishy balls for Jack. We all had a good time at Ben's Birthday Fun Day!

For some reason, I can't load any more pictures. Too bad because the bowling pictures are too funny!
