Happy Birthday Ryan!

Today was Ryan's birthday - yay!  It was a lego themed party.

 

Some pictures of the AMAZING cake Marc made.  It's incredible!  Look at all the detail!

 

 

Even the loot bags were coordinated and had lego!

Fun in the jungle gym.  They are up high!

 

 

 And down they come!

 

Isaac's a great big brother, taking Jacob on the climber.  He doesn't mind at all....he's actually using Jacob as an excuse so he can still go in and play on it because he's way too old...lol.

 



Claire checking out the snacks....

 

Oh that's good!

 

 

I better get out of here before they see me eating these all.

More fun in the jungle gym...hey look at that!

That almost hit me in the mouth!

Yummy lunch!

The birthday boy!

Jacob with his best buddy Grandpa.

Climbing the wall....oh, hold on tight!

Help, someone catch me!

I need to get this chair for my bedroom!

They had lots of fun.  Ryan knows how to throw a party!

No Shirt

Jacob's been home sick the past few days.  I put him down to nap but he didn't seem to want to sleep.  I went to check on him and found him half dressed.  He threw all his dolls and blanket out of the crib.  And he also managed to take his shirt off.  No wonder he couldn't sleep! 

 

Winter is Back!

A few weeks ago it felt like spring and now it's back to winter!  There was so much snow we had to pile it on the deck.  They could touch the garage roof! 

 

There was also a huge mountain at the front of the house.

The liked climbing to the top.....

and rolling down.

Isaac is still young at heart!

Silly Claire.

Jacob hates snow, I'm surprised he even went outside.  He stayed on the dry sidewalk.

Hee Hee Hee

Claire and Jacob thought it would be funny to put on Isaac's hats, gloves, ties and Mom's sunglasses.  Hahahaha......they're nuts!

 

Felt Like Spring...

What a beautiful day!  The kids took advantage and spent some time out on the deck on their scooters and bikes.

Claire is a pro on her scooter.

Look at this trick!

She learned from the pro!

Jacob still can't pedal yet. But he scoots around just fine.  He's so cute!

Super Kids

Some random pics before bed time.

 

Princess Claire!

These pyjamas rock!

Look at how fast I can run!

Wait something is missing....

I know what it is!  My cape!

Now that's much better!

How cool is this kid?

 

Happy New Year!



This year I decided to have my nieces and nephew over for a New Years Eve Glow-in-the-Dark Dance Party Sleepover Extrvaganza!  So 6 kids + lots of junk food + Glow Sticks + Just Dance 4 + Staying Up Late = Chaos + Good Times.

 

We lined them up on the couch, oldest to youngest - Isaac, Thaiana, Mya, Claire, Ben and Jacob.  Getting them all to look at the same time was hard.  We didn't do too bad though!

 

A picture with Grandma and all the grand kids.  She's in heaven....

 

Here she is with them 4 years ago.  Look at how they little they are.  Little Jacob had yet to make his appearance.

 

Dancing with their glow sticks and playing Just Dance 4.

Making a huge fort with their Crazy Forts.

 

We put Jacob down at about 11pm...he was getting cranky.  The rest of them almost made it to midnight.  Here they are getting ready for the countdown but some of them were fading...

Ben was the first to go at 11:50pm...

 

Mya was a close second at 11:51pm....

Claire fell asleep at 11:58pm....lol, she almost made it!

Isaac nd Thaiana made it to midnight and so did Anthony and I for the first time in 4 years!

The next day they had more fun with the lego's and finished eating the rest of the junk before they got picked up.

It was a good time and a night they will always remember and are already asking to do it again next year!
