Ella turns 4!

I can't believe Ella is already 4... or will be this next week. The first kid of the group is growing up so fast... I guess all the others are too. After heading to Bob's Red Mill for breakfast as a family, we headed to JJ Jump for the birthday celebration. I wasn't sure how Sam was going to like it. She loves to run around and play, but if she isn't sure of something, she tends to not try it. For the first 20 minutes or so she just wanted to play catch with a ball. She finally was convinced to go down one of the blow up slides, but with mommy... that was interesting to climb up at 6 months pregnant helping push up a 30 pound bag of flour... goodness! She finally got in a bounce house with Josh and then was good to go. We all ended up in the bounce house half of the time, the rest she just ran around and played in the little kid area with the toys she's used to. After that it was time for food and presents. Sam only ate 2 bites of cupcake, she just doesn't care about most sweets (besides cookies). She did eat a ton of grapes however. This is all after eating tons at breakfast. Lots of photos from the morning fun.

Loving her kid size pancakes. She ate 3 1/2 of them, plus eggs


Josh went down a couple slides

Ella making her way up another bouncy slide

Sam trying the same path... it's a bit hard for her

It was a bit hard for mom too, especially stopping to push her up the whole way

Got 2 rungs from the top and she didn't want to go down the slide... too bad

Waiting patiently for food

All the kids waiting for food... so many kids!

Q shoved the entire huge strawberry in his mouth... it came back out, and then back in via smaller pieces
