What a PARTY!!!!

Today we had a big party to celebrate Nolan's birthday as well as Labor Day. We had tons of food, family and fun all day. I think we are paying the price right now as Nolan is not in a good mood and in serious need of a night-night. The kids played on the bouncer and trampoline all day long as well as many other things. I think Cannon and Maddux would have played Kung Fu Panda on the Wii all day if they could have. It was funny because Maddux kept coming and asking Jennie and Tacie if he could watch Cannon play. I think that was Cannon's way of trying to play since Tacie told him he couldn't. The girls did makeup and played dress up with all the princess stuff. Kenzie and Nolan were just trailing behind trying to be a part.

We did have a surprise guest show up......Spiderman. He made an appearance half way through the party and even managed to do a couple of flips on the trampoline. It just isn't a party without a guest appearance from Spiderman. The nice thing was that we didn't even have to pay for him to come.

We were also grateful to have Jennie's Grandma and Granny, her Aunt and Uncle (Suzie and Chuck), and her brother (Greg) and his family be able to come over and celebrate with us, along with her parents. I don't know how many times I say this but it is so nice to have family so close to be able to do these types of things on a regular basis. I think that everyone had a fun time and really enjoyed themselves. The day was absolutely perfect with weather in the low to mid 80's and not a cloud in the sky.

There were also a few games of cornhole played because there can't be a party without cornhole. Then Connie was kind enough to fix the straps on the enclosure for the trampoline as the kids had broke them all off by jumping into the net. We are all glad that they are fixed and now we don't have to worry about the kids jumping or falling off. Maddux has discovered how to do flips and can now land on his feet, although sometimes he rotates a little too much and falls forward so it will be nice not having to worry about him falling off.

We ended the day with a little ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and then called Kamaile and had everyone sing happy birthday to her as she turned 3 today. Then it was time to clean everything up which surprisingly didn't take all that long. I guess if helps to use paper plates and cups. Grandma Elaine was kind enough to do the silverware so there really wasn't much to it. The whole day went off without a hitch and the only real casualty was Brooklyn losing a tooth. It is the second tooth she has lost in the last couple of weeks and still has a third that is ready to come out.
