Thanks for coming to play!

Bill and Gina!

Bill and Gina came over for a visit. Gina managed to steer clear of the camera so this is the only picture I got of her.

Showing off for Bill and Gina.

Jake, Michael, Jaileigh and Anthony

This is how they get up there. Tip over the piano bench, climb on top of it, step over to the table, finish by climbing on the piano.

Bill was in the bathroom. Jaileigh kept saying "Bill, come out" over and over. She and Annie were sticking their fingers under the door too. Poor Bill.

Thanks for the visit!

A Birthday Party

On Saturday we went to Bill and Gina's to help them celebrate their daughter's birthday. The kids LOVE Bill and Gina. They think that Gina buys everything. Here's a conversation Jaileigh and I had today.

J- "Mommy you got more toilet paper."
Me- "Yes, Jaileigh I got more toilet paper."
J- "Gina buy it?"
Me- "No, Daddy bought it."
J- "No! Gina buy it."

Bill and Annie, Mike

I didn't bring swimsuits but that didn't stop Michael. By the end they all had jumped in. Good thing I had spare clothes in the car.

Jake and Anthony playing with all their new toys.

Anthony was being shy.

Bill dipping the kids in the icy cold water. I can't believe they liked it.

Thanks Bill and Gina for letting us invade. Happy Birthday Meghan!

The end to a very long, fun-filled day.

A HUGE thanks to all of you who came and helped make Annie's day a special one. Thanks for the laughs and the wonderful company. Thank you for playing with my precious babies and making them feel so loved. Thank you to all who helped clean up the rice so the birds wouldn't eat it and explode. At the end of the day my house was clean, my dishes were done, the backyard was spotless. Thank you to all of you! We love you and are so blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
