Summer has been busy, busy, busy! In the nearly 3 weeks it's been since the last post, both kids had their birthdays. Charley turned two on June 22 but that day was spent in the car driving home from Nebraska. Since the kids birthdays are only a couple weeks apart we to do a combo birthday party. Throw the Fourth of July in there and we had a busy weekend! We have gone to the pool every Fourth since I was pregnant with Jackson so it's a fun tradition to continue. It was great to have an extra set (or three) of hands so Bryan and I could ride some slides.
The kids both love their Puddle Jumpers. These are so great because there is more support than just arm floaties give but it's not as cumbersome as a life jacket.
Even with sunscreen this girl started getting a little pink so we headed home for naps.
After nap time we had our neighbors over for a practice run with our new inflatable water slide before we used it for the birthday party. We had hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill as well.
The next day was party time. We had about 10 families over and the kids had a blast.
This is as excited as the kids got for their cakes. I was so excited for them and even during the whole song, these were their faces. Oh kids.
On Jackson's actual birthday we had a packed day. I felt bad about spending Charley's whole birthday in the car so we went all out for Jackson's. We got donuts when we woke up, then met friends at the small zoo near our house, and after naps we went to the pool. They were exhausted by the end of the day.
As I was sitting across from them as we ate at "the restaurant" I couldn't believe how big my kids are now. I have a TWO and FOUR year old. Whaaaat??
