Birthday Party at Pump it Up

     The twins were invited to Lexi & Mackenzie's 3rd (twins too) birthday party over the weekend.  It was our first time at Pump it Up and the kids had a blast.  Thank you Perkins family we had a great time.  We are also anxiously waiting to hear about the birth of the 3rd child...so excited for you guys!  Well, with all the kids running around everywhere most of my pictures turned up blurry.

 This is where Mike received a pretty good burn on his arm from rubbing it on the way down.  Poor Shaine looks like she's getting smashed.

 Hey it's the birthday girls...Mackenzie (left), and Lexi (right)

For those of you who don't know this is where Blue sits when we eat.  Right between the two highchairs.

 Shaine loves her balloons.  She fell asleep holding it.  Thanks again Perkins family for the balloons!

Enduring the Cold and Fog

     It's been so cold we've been spending allot of time indoors.  We had 6 consecutive days of fog and freezing temperatures. There wasn't allot of outdoor activities taking place. We decided to take the kids bowling and they did great!  Johnny likes to throw the bowling ball like a baseball, and Shaine rolls it.

 This is the fog looking out from our front door.

 Here's the fog outside our back fence.

     This is a terrible picture, but it shows Johnny throwing the bowling ball from over his shoulder.

     Last night after putting the kids to bed Shaine came walking out of the room saying, "I can't sleep anymore".  Mike says, "What do you mean you can't sleep?"  When he walks into the bedroom he finds every single stuffed animal in the house in Shaine's bed.  It was the funniest thing...and she was laughing about it as well.  We managed to place most of the animals on the floor, but many of them remained in her bed.  You can't miss the huge puppy dog laying on top of her.  She had 2 of those big dogs in her bed, but we insisted she had to remove one.  We also set up a chair next to her bed with some of her favorites.  I snapped a few pictures after she fell asleep.

 Here's Johnny with a blanket and pillow.

This particular picture was taken with the flash on.  You wouldn't know it was totally dark in their bedroom.

            BED HEAD!!!!!!  My silly girl!

The kids playing with Johnny's Hot Wheels track.

I walked in on Johnny sitting on his bead playing the guitar and singing about dinosaurs. He gave me permission to film his music.

The kids giving Blue a check-up. Say AAHHH.

Here is Johnny and Shaine helping dad put together our new bench. Oh yeah...23 inches!

Mud & Boogers

Today we played in the rain and mud.  So much fun getting wet & cold to create the best mud-boogers.

 The kids always make their way to the side of our house where a rain puddle awaits.

 Playing with her shopping cart before making her way to the mud-puddle.

 Checking our neighbors X-Mas decorations that are still out in their yard.

 Before we went outside to play in the rain Shaine decided to get creative with the markers while mommy was in the kitchen cleaning.  Johnny didn't seem to mind, and Shaine was pretty happy with her handy work.
