Outside fun day at Adriana's school

Every year at the end of the school year Adriana's school has a fun day known as outside day. They rent a bounce house and have tons of fun activities for the kids to do. A special way for the kids to end the school year. Here are a few of the things that Adriana got to do:

Here she is playing in shaving cream (this is especially fun because mom doesn't have to clean it up)

Here she is playing in the jump house with some friends.

Not an expert hulla hooper yet, but we sure like to try. (I think she can actually do this better than I can now)

Of course if you're outside making messes why not add in a little paint (again something momma doesn't have to clean up)

And of course the potato sack races, although with a bunch of 4 year olds I'm not sure if its a race or just whoever can stand up in there the longest!

Birthday fun!

I think after you turn 21 your birthdays become a little less exciting. So this year for my 32nd birthday I spent it like so many others and went out to eat with the family to "the birthday hat place" as Adriana likes to call it (perhaps we go here a little too often on birthdays.....hehehe). Ah yes we went to Chevy's where you get a very loud and embarrassing display of clapping and singing. Here is a couple of pictures of the kids wearing the hat.

Adriana's ice skaing show

Adriana performed in her first ice skating show over the past weekend. She skated with her friends to the song "Thunderbird" from the movie Cars. She did awesome and didn't fall once. I know she was really nervous! Here is a few pictures of her performing and a picture of her and her cousins eating ice cream afterwards, everyone deserves ice cream after a tremendous performance :)

Joey's first tooth!

Well to our surprise Joey got his first tooth in on Thursday. Chris actually noticed it before I did, I guess that is how it goes when your the third child ;) His bottom right tooth came in and his bottom left is close behind, it should be in within the next few days. That would explain a lot of his fussiness he has been giving his daddy at night while I'm working. He is growing up way to fast! Maybe I didn't notice the tooth because I was secretly wishing he would just stay a little baby forever!

Joey is rolling over!

Joey has started rolling over from front to back now. He started doing it this weekend while camping. He had already been rolling from back to front when he is sleeping but now he can do both. He probably could have done it a lot sooner if I would let him down a little ;) I'm not ready for another mobile baby so is it wrong if I just keep holding him..........just kidding :) Here is a few pictures of him rolling.

Camping at Pere Marquette

This weekend we went camping at Pere Marquette State Park in Illinois. It started off saying it was going to be cold and windy, but it actually turned out to be a perfect weekend. We did get a little rain on Friday morning but that was it. The kids got to play a lot more outside with this trip than they did the camping trip before. Here is a few pictures of what we did all weekend.











Here is Adriana and Andrew skating. Adriana roller blades and Andrew just uses Adriana's old roller skates. They are both getting really good at it.













Here is Adriana and Andrew roasting marshmellos to make somores. Don't worry they were very closely supervised :)

They both created their "masterpieces" on the roads.

We went on frequent walks with Maw Maw's dog Daisy. She was very worn out by the end of the trip.

We spent our evenings sitting around the campfire. We haven't been able to tell ghost stories since I would like to get a little sleep at night without two very scared kiddos :)

And Adriana would help cook breakfast in the mornings. Don't worry her supervisor is standing next to her :o

Yes Joey was on the trip with us. He just didn't get to do as much but he did get a lot of fresh air and had lots of fun watching his older siblings. Don't worry Joey, you'll be joining in on the fun faster than momma would like!!!!
