Halloween P-a-r-t-y!!!

We had a Halloween Party at Troy and Marla's on Saturday Night...

Josie was our little Penn State cheerleader and cheered the Nittany Lions on to a 13-6 victory over Ohio State later in the night.

Jack was our adorable little super man - yes, the costume came complete with a cape!

Ron was the 70's Cheesy Moustache Retro Man and Carol pulled out the Flapper Girl outfit.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's SuperJack!

Marla (as Frau Farbissina from Austin Powers) and Troy (can barely see the knife in his head) - with Marty in the background..........


Marla and Heather had all kinds of crafts and games for the kids to entertain them all night long!


Maddie searching through the "scabs" (corn flakes) searching for candy - Josie was taking it all in.

Sam, who hung with Josie all evening (thanks Sam!), trying to get Josie to bob for an apple.

The Backyardigans Live

Ron took Josie on Saturday to the Paramount Theater in Seattle to catch the Backyardigans Live show. It's an early birthday present for her this year.

She had an absolute blast. Ron said she was attentive to the whole show. They called me at intermission to say hi. You could tell she was super excited. She came home with a couple of souveniers - a flighty fairy wand and a Uniqua stuffed animal. (That almost makes her collection complete - 2 Pablo's, 1 Tyrone and now 1 Uniqua)

Maris Farms

It was absolutely beautiful this weekend, so we headed out Sunday AM to Maris Farms!

Maris Farms has a nice view of Mt Rainier

Josie went on the jumpy pillow - luckily, it was early in the day and there weren't alot of kids on it yet.

We went to pet all the ponies, all except the one they said was a grumpy pony and we just waved "hi" to that one.
Ron took Josie down the slide. It went through a tunnel, so she wouldn't go alone.

Pumpkin time with Mom, Jack and Josie

Tummy Time for Two

Saturday afternoon, Josie was coloring at the kitchen table, like the good little girl she can be......but it was time for Jack to do tummy time!

Jack gets pretty excited at the beginning of tummy time......
...and gets really happy when his big sister joins him on him activity mat!

A big kiss for my little brother

The Jumperoo........

Ron pulled out the Jumperoo for Jack - Josie was sure excited!

And Jack has taken a liking to it as well!

I bet he'll get this thing rocking real good soon!

Super Jump Zone Birthday Party

Josie was invited to a birthday party at the local Jump Zone. I think she would have LOVED it 100% if it wasn’t her nap time. She ran herself ragged within the first 5 minutes of being there, climbing up the big slide and going down by herself and running through the obstacle course jumpy several times.

Going through the rolling pins...........
The end of the obstacle course.....
Ellie, the birthday girl, opening presents with her friends - Josie's still on the move (Can't sit down!)
Then Josie climbed up to go down the big slide again, and realized at the top that she was scared and didn't want to come down. So one of the older girls had to take her for a ride.......as you can tell, Josie wasn't too happy at the end of it!

So, out of comfort, she went back to the obstacle course jumpy, and played on the "little slide".........and when we left, we left kicking and screaming "I don't want to go!"

Jack be nimble.............

Jack was showing us all his new moves yesterday afternoon in his crib. (Thanks to the Kirsch twins for the super cute Elmo onesie!)

He is just a happy little guy!

Jack can roll over.

Here he is having fun in his crib.
