Birthday Mania '08!

Triple birthday '08 was a big success! For those who may not know, all 3 of the kids have a birthday in the same week in early July. So between that and the 4th, there's a whole lot of celebrating to do! We decided just to throw one big party for all 3 of them. It was complete pandemonium, but Mom & Dad breathed a huge sigh of relief the next day knowing we got all the birthday parties done for the year in one day! Since the kids were turning 6 and 9, we just sort of shoved a 9/upside down 6 on there. We just hope they're not wishing for another party!

Emma's just a little excited to get to that moment of moments....the opening of the presents!

Exreme slip and slide racing.... we just set everything up in the back yard

We rented this huge inflatable slide. You can get tons of stuff like this from MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation, an organization that specializes in entertainment for military families)

Gettin ready for pinata. This is taken from our backyard, you can see the new playground they

installed in the center of sort of a large, shared back yard. It's nice cause they have a playground for about every 10 or 15 houses throughout the complex.

Feel the pinata.......BE the pinata.

Forget Mom & Dad, all this partying just wore Twinkie out! The poor guy recovers

with a little comfort from Andie. Well, it was crazy hosting 8 million kids and you'd think we had a typhoon hit from the massive cleanup underaking, but it was a blast and we can't believe we now have a 9 yr old & two 6 yr olds! That plus our 10th anniversary next month and we're startin to feel.....not as young. That's all right, we're havin' a blast watchin our kids grow up!
