Happy 4th Birthday, Ruby Gold!

Today we took a ferry ride to Holly & Derek's house for Ruby's 4th Birthday party. It was a lot of fun - the kids all had a BLAST! Ruby had an outer space themed party - they did great arts and crafts, played with moon sand, had a rocket ship cake, jumped in a moon bouncer, played games, searched for glowing moon-rocks, and had a full day of FUN, FUN, FUN!!!! Thank you, Holly & Derek!

All the kids enjoying prize time - everyone plays, and everyone wins!

Ruby looking absolutely adorable in her custom made party dress!

Trent really getting into Ruby's 3-D space book!

Bailey mid-bounce as Vince watches on!

Dane is always willing to try a new food - spaghetti/lasagna out of a "space bag" (it's really a pastry bag)!

Trent is a little unsure about eating out of a "space bag"

Wyatt eating his food out of a "space bag"

Bailey enjoying her spaghetti-lasagna, but off a plate, thank you!

Dane asking if he could do the activities, too!

Bailey's favorite part of the arts & crafts was the hand washing station!

Trent & Wyatt were VERY serious about this new craft - it's called Moon Sand

we had never seen or heard of it before, but Holly had some for the party. It was an ABSOLUTE HIT and I highly recomend it!

Wyatt, Trent & Bailey playing at the goop table

A lovely snuggle moment

What a wonderful pictures of our two favorite 5 year olds!

A special moment with Trent & Daddy

I love this picture ... Dane looks so sweet and loveable, Wyatt looks as if he is about to claw Dane's back ... and Baiely, she is in her own little loud world!

Wyatt's own version of Titanic ... "I'm the king of the world!!!!"

Waving farewell to Seattle!

Thank goodness Bailey isn't a master lock-picker! Although, with Bailey, if there is a (her) will, there is ALWAYS a way!

The kid's feeling the gentle breeze ...

Family Night out to Pump It UP!

Sierra & Olivia arrived for their March visit. We wanted to have a fun family evening, but finding fun affordable things to do for large families is hard to do. We called Pump It Up, and they gave us a great deal, we rented the room for one hour as a private group, got Megan and piled into the van. The 9 of us ran, bounced, jumped, cartwheeled, tumbled, raced, climbed, threw footballs, went sliding and had a great time for about 90 minutes. We were all WORN out (some of us quicker than others), and would highly recommend this place for great family fun!

Bailey is one overly tired baby!

Trent is fighting sleep - but it looks like sleep is currently winning! Olivia is a bit bounced out at the moment, too!

Olivia and Wyatt looking EXHAUSTED!

Bailey looks a little tired - she has just bounced for the last hour or so, and its way past her bed time! She looks so tired she can't even sleep!

Um, yeah - this mom is WORN OUT!

Dane looking all bounced out - and, nice pink hat!

Another great group picture!

Chris tossing the football to Megan as she slides down the slide - Sierra & Bailey heading back up for another run!
