Jace's Birthday Party

On Saturday we had Jace's Birthday Party. His birthday isn't for almost 2 weeks but we had a combined one with his best friend Anna before they move. We celebrated at a place called Bonkers. Loads of fun. Jace wanted to have a backhoe birthday party and Anna wanted High School Musical. So we had two of everything. Here are a couple pictures.

Thanks to all our friends for being there!

Summer Fun

Well you are going to have to bare with me on this post. I am going to cover several activities and there will be a few pictures.
About a week and a half ago we had a fun Saturday morning with some friends of ours. Every summer a church by our neighborhood puts on a family event. They have bounce houses, snow cones, popcorn, hot dogs, music, games, and a puppet show. The kids love it.

The next week my niece Micaela came to visit for a couple of days. We spent one day at a park with a creek, playground, and spray park. We had some friends meet us there and had a great time.
Hayden would rather play on the rocks than the water

Micaela playing in the water which she told me was boring (does she look bored to you?)Jace and Jagger looking for some fish...no luck though
Jace and Micaela (you may notice the ribs, I swear I feed him)We drove back to Kansas City to take Micaela back to my sister. We spent the afternoon at Crown Center. They have a place called Kaleidoscope. It is a free place run by Hallmark. Kids can go and make all this art stuff. It is completely open play and allows them to get creative. After that we went to a restaurant called Fritzes. I don't have pictures of this, they are on my sisters camera. It was so cool though. Jace was in heaven. You sit at a booth and order your food on a phone. Then a train brings you your food. It runs along the wall and the tray hangs from it. When it gets to your table it drops the tray on to a lift and then it lowers to your table.

Today we had a bunch of kids over to my house for a morning of fun. We made foam door hangers with their names on them, had popsicles, played outside, played with sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and water balloons, made tshirts, and ate lunch. It was great. I think all the kids slept great for there mommies!
