Chloe's Swimming Birthday Party

On Thursday of last week (June 6) we had a little birthday party for Chloe at the Sand Hallow Aquatic Center. She invited several friends and some of her cousins that live in town. The kids love swimming there so they all had a blast. Even Bryce got in on the action. He is such a water baby-he absolutely loves the water. 

Chloe always wants to help plan the parties and help make things for them, so she put together the invites...

Her and her cousin Taelor helped me make these cute fish cupcakes...

The party favors were fish of course...

Friends and Cousins...

 The Birthday Girls...

 Great Grandma came and helped tend all the babies. She brought Chloe an exercise trampoline for a gift, Chloe was so excited about it. All of the kids had to have a turn trying it out:)

Swimming...

Bouncing Baby Boy

I bought this jumparoo for Bryce awhile back. The first few times I put him in it he bawled. It was just to much for him. I was worried he wouldn't like it and I really wanted him to. Well that has all changed, now he absolutely loves it. When we put him in it he is like a crazy child. He jumps and jumps. Sometimes he is bouncing so hard and fast I'm afraid he will give himself shaken baby syndrome. The kids think it is the greatest. Yesterday the kids were jumping on Chloe's mini tramp while Bryce was jumping in his jumparoo and he was laughing his head off. We love our little bouncing baby boy!

Slip n Slide Fun

My kids love love love the slip n slide. Every year they look forward to getting one and setting it up. We usually go through at least 2 and have use a lot of duct tape-ha ha. Well we are already on our second the first one we had out at my Grandmas already bit the dust. So we went and bought this one. The kids were so excited to try it out that they set it out the night we got home with it and the next three consecutive days. Needless to say our grass was so beat up(especially after a big 3 hour slide fest one day) we had to start using neighbors lawns and rotating where it was set up.

These pictures were of the day we had the three hours of fun. We have a triple and our neighbors have a double so we combined for more fun. At one point there were actually 10 kids playing and we had a little kid slide and a big kid slide, after a while the littles went home and the bigs went wild. Little Bryce even got in on the action-he already loves being in the water!

18 weeks old

Well little Bryce is 18 weeks old today and I know it's cheesy to say but we just love him more and more everyday. He is such a fun boy. He loves loves loves his brother and sister and will talk and talk to them. He has started sucking on his toes when he can manage to get them in his mouth. Landon reminded me that Tanner used to do the same thing. I had completely forgotten.

Party at Great Grandma's

Yesterday Great-Grandma Marshall had over all the great grandkids that live in town. The kids had a blast playing on the slip n slide, climbing the tree, and eating noodles and watermelon. It was lots of fun. Glad we have so many cousins around to do fun things with. 

 Bryce was all tuckered out after all the fun.
