Eli's Chuck E' Cheese Birthday Party

I wasn't sure how a Chuck E' Cheese birthday party would turn out because of how packed they usually are. But we had a GREAT experience!!! We had his party on his birthday, a Friday night. I totally thought they would be packed, but it was quite the opposite! I suppose a large factor was that it was during one of Spokane's "freezes" after a bunch of snow. Eli's party was the only birthday party there at the time so he got Chuck E's full attention!!! He had so much fun and really got into dancing with Chuck E and his helper! He didn't like the ticket blaster too much, but did try it. Kambria ended up doing it for him and was excited to help! Kambria now wants her birthday party there, so I guess we will see how that one compares. I am just so happy that Eli had such a GREAT Birthday!!! Happy 3rd Birthday Bud! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Daddy Daughter Dance

In February, Jon and Kambria attended a Daddy Daughter Dance with her friend Cheyenne and her Dad. It is an annual event put on by the Ferris Cheerleaders as a fundraiser. They had so much fun!!! A special date night with Daddy; dressing up pretty, dinner, and dancing! :)

Way behind again! Another Catch up Post!

In the beginning of February my mom and I and the kids took a little trip to Walla Walla to visit with my Grandparents. We had a great time! We love spending time with them!!!!

Grandma-Great made Valentine cookies with the kids :)

One of the Sundays in mid February was super nice! We decided to take advantage of it and go for a walk at Riverfront Park

While on our walk on the Centennial Trail (on the other side of the river from Riverfront Park) we saw a tree that Beavers had made bite marks on and knocked down. Daddy was showing Kambria the marks :)

So much Birthday Fun!

Saturday, January 29th was full of Birthday fun!!! We had 3 parties to go to, but only ended up making it to 2. The first was Baby George's 1st birthday party. (pics at the end of this post) The second, and the "funnest" party ever, was Kaden's 6th Birthday party. My brother Brandon reserved spots for us to have fun at "Sky High", a trampoline fun center!!! My Dad, Mom, and I were the only ones that didn't jump, everyone else had a blast jumping for an hour! Next time I will definitely join in on the fun, I was taking care of Benson this time. The 3 of us who didn't jump had a lot of fun watching everyone else though!

Eli was so excited that he didn't even wait for Daddy to go up to the trampoline with him!

Kambria and Jon

Kambria jumping in the children's section, she pretty much had it all to herself at that point! :)

They have an area where you can jump and flip into a pool of foam cubes! Everyone had a blast trying it out! This is a pic of Jon helping Eli out.

I wish I would have gotten some better pictures of Kaden! He was Awesome!!!

Brandon, from the side wall trampoline! :)

Grandpa sat with Benson while Grandma and I took pictures of everyone jumping into the foam pool. Such a happy cute boy!!!

We went to Brandon's girlfriend's house afterward for some pizza and cake

We bought Kaden a scooter. He got a Nerf set from Grandma and Grandpa, and an awesome bike from his Dad!

Baby George's birthday party was earlier in the day. :)

Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy!!!!

Kambria wanted to wear her cowgirl outfit to the party, she planned it days in advance! :) Here she is with Benson! She loves her baby brother so much! I can't believe he will be 8 months tomorrow!!!

A Loved Sick Mommy

The Bronchitis bug hit our house this past month and I got hit with it the worst!!! I am grateful it was me that got it the worst though and not Jon or the kids! Here is a picture Jon took one night when I guess the kids needed their Mommy! :)

A Snowy Spokane Winter

It is almost the middle of February, and I definitely have the "spring itch" and hope we don't get anymore snow that sticks and would Looooovvve for it to start warming up!!!! We have gotten our fair share of snow this year and have had some amazingly beautiful (yet freezing) days. Here are some pictures outside our house of the beauty and the fun this snowy season has brought. :)

Eli's New Teeth

Eli's 2 front teeth became very weak and pieces kept chipping off. In the beginning of January he had oral surgery to correct it and got "new teeth". The surgery went really well and he came out of it like a champ.....at least after crying for a short time as he "came back too". We are so happy to have his beautifully cute smile back!!! We love this kid!!!
