Jumpin

On june 13, we took some friends over to a place called Jumpin'. It is a big building filled with inflatable jumping things. We had a blast. It is the same place we went with Lisa and Erik. We had so much fun with them the first time we went that we had to go back. So here are a couple of pictures to show our fun time...

Lydia is a little nervous going down the slide but Ashley thinks it is great! What a classic picture!I can do it myself dad!SEE! Here I go!Don't make me do it again!Ok says Dad...lets just play ball then.Here says Weston, I will show you how it is done!But Lydia did not like that. So Weston was off to try and climb...And low and behold he DID climb. ALL BY HIMSELF!!! Iwas shocked!And here he is at his accomplishment!!!

Piano Time

Weston and Kambria both LOVE to "play" the piano! Weston is finally tall enough to reach now. And whenever the piano is open he makes his way over there and starts to play. I LOVE that both my kids love the piano...I hope that doesn't change once they start to take piano lessons from their dad. We have a couple more years before the lessons start, so hopefully I can direct this love forward until then.

First one hand...

Then two hands...

Then comes sitting on the bench.

Kambria decides to play with Weston close behind.

Ashleys birthday

Our friend Ashley had her birthday over memorial day weekend...so we celebrated it together with her on that monday...We went miniture golfing with them and had a blast.

Weston even wanted to join in on the fun. And then we all went home and had the kids take naps. Then they came over to celebrate some more, cake and all. We enjoyed the day and hope that Ashley had a great birthday. Even if it was a little belated.

memorial day weekend

So the kids enjoyed a fun memorial day weekend with their cousins and grandparents. On that Friday we decided it would be fun to take them to a place called jumpin. It is a place with bg inflatable "castle" type things. They had so much fun...as you can tell in the pictures!!!I know this one is hard to see, but look closely and you can tell how happy Weston is...

Weston's first attempt at walking...

These are of Kambria and Madalyn "singin" together...more like making noises, but they were having fun together

The girls were wearing thier pretty dress up dresses and it started to rain...so everyone had to look outside at the rain...Weston included.

my new project

So one of our neighbors had this chest of drawer on their driveway with a free sign on it. So I took it and now I am trying to paint it white and put new knobs on it...I will post the final project when I am done.

Kambria's hair

Kambria's hair can now be braided!!!! I thought it was too cute to pass up...and how about those cheesy smiles! Kambria is great at smiling for the camera now!!!
