jackie's birthday party


Jackie's Mommy and Daddy know how to throw a party! Everyone had a blast and got a good workout!


Its amazing how long Sky can bounce without tiring out.


Aiden going up the steps. You can see how Sky could fall backwards if I didn't follow her up.


You have to click on this picture to look at his face closely. It's classic Aiden.

Aiden maximized his time on the slide by going down as fast as possible, then running back around to the steps, climbing as fast as his little legs could take him, and back down the slide again. With his red cheeks and sweaty head he'd run by and say "i love you, mom!" to get my attention.


At first, Aiden sat and slid. The second round, he laid flat and slid. The third time he laid flat with his arms folded behind his head (in a relaxing position). Then to maximize the fun, he started to go down head first. Still that could have been improved up on so he'd dive down the slide and gown down head first even faster.


So according to the park rules (see the line above Aiden's head), neither Aiden nor Sky were tall enough to go on this slide but that sure didn't stop them.


The three musketeers - Aiden, Nicholas, and Ryan scarfing down pizza.


Aiden let his sister tag along the entire time. He made sure she was having fun too.


Sky about to come down the slide. It's really scary how fearless she is. She went on the longest and the steepest slide without hesitation. She'd fly down the slide and at about three quarters of the she'd lose control and tumble the rest of the way down.

While most of the 3-year-old girls hung out together at the moon bounce, Sky hung out with Aiden, Nick, and Ryan. She went down every slide they went down without hesitation. Unfortunately, I wasn't able take her picture because each time I followed her up the steps because she'd climb up 15 or 20 steps then stop and turn around to wave and get distracted. I was worried that at that point she'd lose her footing and fall backwards down the steps.

  1. I can tell by the photos that your Mommy got, she had to suspended from the ceiling to follow you and Sky around to get such great shots. I had fun just looking at the photos of the expressions on your face. You made my day!!!
    Truth is, you always do. I am so glad to be able to share in your lives.

  2. Sharon, you make my day! I LOVE that you check out foosbook regularly. I look forward to reading your comments every day. I wish more people would comment as regularly as you do.

    Hope you're having a wonderful snow day. We got six inches of snow and counting. Adam and Aiden are outside digging out Adam's car. Sky and I were out there but we didn't last long and now we're back inside finishing our breakfast. When I'm on the computer, Sky likes to color so we have that peace time.

    Enjoy the day!
