Last night we went to Amazing Jake's to celebrate a friend's birthday. The kids had an absolute blast, and we all ate way too much! My normally non adventurous kids shocked me as time and time again they rode those BLASTED tea cups. They couldn't get enough! I was sick just watching them! Slade finally talked me into going on with him. I figured his begging and screaming to ride them had to stop SOMEHOW so I gave in. Assuming he wouldn't want to spin too fast; I thought I was safe.... boy was I wrong!!! That kid was brutal. He had that thing spinning like a tornado and loved every second of it.(pretty brave for a 3 year old!) Let's just say.... when you're over a certain age, spinning in cirlcles just isn't as pleasurable as it once may have been. I'm sure I looked "impaired" as I tried to step off that dumb tea cup(which was still spinning as I got off) and stagger back to the rest of the gang. Pretty pathetic. Think I'll reserve that kind of excitement for the little guys next time!

Waiting in line to go on the "Frog Hopper"
The "Frog Hopper" at Amazing Jakes was another crowd pleaser. The kiddos screamed so hard each time they went on it that they barely had any voice left at the end of the night. Again, the enthusiasm our kids showed going on the rides surprised us a bit. For those of you who know my kids, they are kindof "scaredy cats" when it comes to stuff like this. Maybe they're just growing up and getting braver as they age...it's great to see them let go an have a good time! Even Slade did the frog hopper and jouned in with the big kids. He looked sooo TINY up there on that big ride. Everyone around smiled at him and pointed at him as he braved "THE FROG". Too fun!

If you can't BEAT 'em...... JOIN 'em!
QUESTION: With 3 very "girly" older sisters, what's a little guy to do???
ANSWER: He plays dress up of course!!!
Thankfully,
After he's had his fill, it's back to his cars, trains, and dinosaurs. (Daddy is VERY happy that he likes boy stuff too!)

Macuttas Island
Brynn was invited to her friend Alexander's birthday party at Macuttas(sp) Island. She had a great time playing with her friend Cami at the party. Daddy actually took Brynn to the party. When they got home, I asked Brynn if she had fun playing with Alexander.(mind you Brynn talks about Alex A LOT at home) She said, "No I didn't really see him the whole time." I thought that was funny since it was His birthday they were celebrating! I guess when it came down to it the boys stuck with the boys and the girls all stuck with eachother. So cute. Kindergarteners are sooo fun! I do love this age.

Sweet Moments
I adore the bond Slade and Brynn have. I think most of the time Brynn enjoys being the "little" sister; I also know that she is a really great "BIG" sister too! She cares for her little brother like she's his mommy and helps him every day. The two of them are very cute to observe. I like sneeking up on them and listening to their conversations. It's always very entertaining....until I get caught that is; and the fun's all over!

Slade and Mommy
This is an older picture, but I love it. Slade's cute little smile warms my heart. They grow up too fast!
Bottoms UP!
The kids were having a contest to see who could play "dead cockroach" the longest. It was a pretty funny sight with all those little tushies in the air! They have some suprisingly strong abdominal muscles for those little bodies.
Best Buds
It's so fun having twin girls. When I was young, I told my Mom that I was gonna have twins. I'm not sure she or anyone else truly expected it to happen. I am so blessed and lucky! I love watching them grow and become better friends as the years go by. They are as different as night and day, but they share an incredible bond and love for eachother that I'm certain only twins can share.

Trip to Shnepf Farms
Last fall we took a trip to Shnepf Farms in Queen Creek. The family had a great time watching the pigs race, going through the corn maze, riding the rides and ponies, and of course eating a yummy BBQ dinner. It was a fun family time that we'll remember for a long time.
