Weekend Extravaganza.........

We started the weekend with an adult only trip to Chicago. It was not kid related so no pictures are posted here, but it was really fun. (really really fun)

When we got back Saturday, Mark, Beth, Abbey and Owen came to visit for the rest of the weekend. We kicked it off with some sprinkler time.


and some bubbles.....


The girls got along so well. Hannah took Abbey under her wing like a good big sister and Abbey loved it. We can't wait until they are all a little older and we can get together more often.

Is this not the cutest picture ever? running cousins.

We all had dinner and the girls were pretty tired from their day. Abbey and Hannah went to bed fine while Layla played her getting up game. I wasn't there though so it was all good. Beth and I took the evening off and went for a bit. Everyone was asleep when we got home!

The next day we had some more fun playtime. The boys got along great too :) The daddies took off for golf so we were on our own.

We played outside. The kids rode bikes and ran around - all around good time.
We did some swinging. Layla goes sooo high now that she pumps herself. Scary, but oh so cute.


Adam did some swinging.

And then (after a round of naps), it was time for the BIG BOUNCY PARTY!
It was just awesome - everyone had a great time. Layla had little friends there and they were all so good. It is hard to believe they are 3! Here are our 4 cousins before the party started. Owen didn't make it, but at 5 months bouncy parties aren't that great anyway.
Big Birthday Girl.Layla and Addie. They share a birthday.

Hannah had a great time too. We didn't see her much since she just runs off, but it was awesome for her.



Adam had just as much fun. He required an assistant (which is super tiring), but we traded off every few turns. He was in baby 7th heaven.

and so was Layla. We slid and slid...........
and slid...........

and we bounced and bounced................
and bounced...............

Abbey had a fun time and deffinately held her own. She was so silly.
Adam loved running and falling down.


New room + Bigger slide = More sliding..............






We tried to get a good picture of the kids, but my camera was not cooperating. They were very tired, and oh so ready for some pizza!
Silly face picture - super mega cuteness.
Layla loved being sang to. She was unbelievably good and gracious.
Tired girls in the princess throne.
When we got home we still had to open all those presents!

She made it about half way through before she was done for the night.


The next morning, Mark, Beth, Abbey and Owen took off for home and we started Layla's REAL birthday with some sprinkler time. It was hot early so it was as good a time as any to do it.
We did a little relaxing also........
Hannah did the most sprinkling......She loves the water.

After naps it was off to Grandma's for some Memorial day fun. Hannah went over early and swam.

Adam enjoyed some B-Ball. He's getting pretty good at hitting off that tee. Adorable. Check out that concentration.
Layla was ready for some swimming.
Adam wanted to just hang out. When he did get in, he just likes to cuddle. He doesn't fuss, but just wants to be held.

We sang to Layla again with her princess cake and of course she loved it.
and she did great at blowing out candles. She opened the rest of her presents and got lots of good stuff. She is one happy girl.

After that our kids were spent and so were we. We headed home for early bedtimes for all. It was an awesome weekend for Layla and although she may not remember it - we definately will!
