Allissa's Birthday Party

July 13, 2008

On Sunday, July 13, we took the children to Pump It Up for Allissa's 5th birthday party. They were so excited to go! It seems like we've been on a lot of jumpy, slidy things lately. The kids are going to be spoiled with them. We got to play for about one and a half hours. Chris had lots of fun too. He was sliding and jumping with them. I did go down the big slide one time. I forgot to bring socks, which are required to get on. And I was a little busy taking pictures, of course!

The Birthday Girl, Allissa Brooke Perry!



Chris is so CRAZY!!

Ethan was having such a great time!

Kenley loved climbing through the obstacle course! Kadyn jumped in the big jumpy for a long time. She could hardly stand up.

I tried to get them to sit

still for a picture!

That's harder than

you might think!

Cake is Delicious!

They were so excited when it was time for cake and ice cream. The whole time they were playing they kept asking me if it was time yet. Even Emersyn got to eat a little. I don't know if she liked it that much. Maybe it was a little too cold for her.

Emilee's Birthday Party

July 12, 2008

Emilee turned one!


Today was Emilee's 1st birthday party. We took the kids to my cousin, Rachel's house for the party. They rented a huge water slide there for the kids to play on. The kids loved it and they have the bumps and bruises to prove it. We ate grilled hamburgers, and then cake and homemade ice cream (ummmm...so yummy!). We watched while Emilee opened all her gifts. Towards the end it started pouring. It was a good thing we were already wet because we had to round up all of our stuff before we could jump in the car and leave. It was a crazy day. The kids were all exausted by bed time. We had a great day. Happy Birthday Emilee!

Everyone watched as Emilee opened her presents.

Independence Day Weekend

July 4, 2008

On July 4th we went to a friend's parents' house and swam in their pool. The children were so excited because it's not very often they get to swim in a big pool like that. We stayed in forever and only had about 4 drowning episodes between all the kids there. To me, that's good! After swimming we ate ribs, grilled hotdogs, baked beans, and coleslaw. Oh, it was so yummy! Then, once it was dark enough, we shot off some fireworks! Kenley kept saying, "It's so beautiful!" and "It's magical!" She makes me laugh so hard. Ethan was pretty muched scared to death of them since, earlier in the evening, when we lite a sparkler and it was way too close to him. He freaked out! Kadyn was scared at first, but then started clapping and saying, "Yay!" It was so sweet. Emersyn slept through it all...as usual! Overall, we had a great 4th. I do wish, though, that we had been able to spend some of it with our family. I miss those guys sometimes!

We spent Saturday, July 5th at Ryan and Renae's house. They rented a slide and we cooked hotdogs on the grill. Everyone had tons of fun.

The kids loved sliding down with their daddy.

Kadyn was only a little scared!


Kenley didn't want to get off the slide.


Ethan didn't know what to think because the slide was so big.


They had fun in the baby pool too.


Ethan, taking a break.

Kadyn is always cheesing when she sees the camera.
She was eating a pickle!


Her two favorite things....
Cheesing for a picture and wearing someone else's shoes!




The kids enjoyed it so much. They love being outside and playing with their friends. When it was time to leave they were very mad at me and Chris.
