Abbys 3rd birthday party

So here is the big day.......we had Abby's birthday party at Pump It Up. I don't know if any of you have been here but it is great. It is costly but I think now that I have been there I can decide on which room I want longer. First they have you go to the first arena for 40 minutes, then the next arena for 40 minutes then last the party room for 40 minutes. The whole party is private so you and your guests are the only ones in the arenas and party room. Down side is once you are in the party room you only have 40 minutes to eat, do the cake and the presents....so we felt very rushed in the party room. Next time we will ask for longer in there and shorter in arena. All in all it was a great time with family and friends. This top picture is of Abby and her friends coming down one of the slides.

Climbing up.........

Coming down with cousin Michael....yahhhhhhh

My nephew Michael in the boxing jumpy..... Vicki and I got in there and boxed, that was sooooo funnny the whole party stopped to watch. Of course I beat her!!!

Abe and I before all the fun started.

My aunt Barbara Jean with the twins. I did not hold them the whole time, they were in someone arms constantly.

Here is my old boss Cory. I was a nanny for her triplets. Here is Kendall with her....can you believe I started taking care of them when they were 2 months old!!

Here I am with my first babies....LOL. Grant, Kelly and Kendall.

Here are out good friends Vicki and Dan. Their kids are Abby's best friends.

Our family friends Corrine and Adriene. Abby plays with their son Taylor.

Here is Barb feeding Freddy, my grandma and my moms best friend Valarie.

Here is one of my oldest friends Wendy, we have been friends since the 6th grade....geez thats along time.

Here is Abby in the party room, they have this chair for her to sit in. She did not like it too much.

Here is her cake, most of you know I do cakes.... I was sooo excited to do this Wizard of Oz cake and she llloooovvveeeddd it. It turned out great!!!

Here she is opening presents..... we were soooo rushed.

Here she is with one of the presents my brother got her......a Pet Shop. He always picks out great gifts!

Here is Vicki with Freddy.... they love each other, it is very sweet.

The party room is pretty big this is only half of it, the adults were on the other side.

And last but not least the whole gang...........what a fun day!!! Look closely you can see the triplets holding my babies, it made me want to cry they are soo big now. Now I can take a breather until Christmas.

Abby is 3.......

Sooo here is Abigail Elise on her 3rd birthday. I made her a special Mickey mouse pancake with blueberry face. She loved it. We did not do anything during the day because I knew daddy would take her to Chuckie Cheese when he got home.

I would normally make her cake BUT Abe loves to buy certain things for her and this is one of them. He went after work to get her Princess cake with balloons and flowers like he does every year. He even got her Princess plates and napkins, she loved them. They went to Chuckie Cheese to play and he bought her another Chuckie doll, I don't know any other child that likes the actual Chuckie so much they play with the doll..... but she does. Then we sang and had cake, then off to bed for her big birthday party the next day.

Swimming at uncle Caseys

Ok, big day of swimming for all. We went to my brothers and had a swim and BBQ day. Lots of fun, but everyone was very tired at the end of the day!! Here is Abe and Abby, this is her new lifejacket. She did not like it to much she wanted it off!

Here she is, she forgot her sunglasses.

She has most fun with her cousins Michael and Matthew, Michael is the BEST big cousin. Very protective of Abby and the babies.......

Abby with big uncle Cas, Michael and Matthew.

Here is Abe with the babies in the new cars.....LOL. They LOOVVVEEDD these things, they layed in them and just were so relaxed I loved it!!!!!

Thank goodness this is only my head showing........ anymore would scare ya, LOL.

Oh my Maddy girl so relaxed, this is right before the thumb hit her mouth and out she went..............

This picture makes me laugh, he is coughing. This is the only one I got so it will have to do. I know it looks like he is about to spit up but he was just coughing. LOL

Such a nice day then we ate chicken and tri-tip, shrimp and pasta salad. Mind you my brother made all of it!!!! Such a great housewife :-)

Then out she went, she slept there a good 45 minutes until we got out of the pool.

Big boy as well....... he was sooo out. Kids would accidentally splash them both and they still did not wake up. I need to take them swimming more often.

Madelyn Grace............

Well I was going back and forth on when we should do Maddys ears.... we did Abbys about 8 months and she screamed and I almost did not do the other ear! I did not want to go thru the same with Maddy. So while out family was shopping Abe and I decided to do it.

She whined a little each ear but never fully cried! She was fine 2 minutes later, thank goodness. It was alot easier for me this time around, LOL. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown with Abby.

So here is beautiful Madelyn Grace with her new earrings, her birthday is Garnet. Now all my kids have red stone..........Abby is Ruby and the twins are Garnet. Oh well they are pretty. Isn't she a happy baby................... but like every other red head she gets MAAAAADDDDDD!!!!!!!! LOL

REALLY???? At almost three.............

All I can say about this is........I should have listened to my inner self telling me "don't do it". Abby asked for a fruit cup of oranges and against everything I believe in I gave it to her at her table in her playroom????? WHAT????? What could really go wrong, she is almost three???????

Well here is what can happen...............I asked her " what did you turn into a 1 yr old? Why would you do this??? She had no real answer so needless to say that won't happen again! Notice the shampooer I spent along time cleaning everything!!!!!!!!

Paint day with daddy........

Abby loves to paint so I got her a kit that has about 5 fish to paint. So her and daddy sat and painted 1 fish, she loves it on the frig.

Babies shot day..........:-(

Ok, like every mother I'm sure I hate and love to take the babies to the dr. I love to find out how big they have grown and all that BUT..................I hate the shots! My poor dr. has had to hear me question the shots and their purpose for yrs now, she tells me the same thing each time and I tell her the same thing each time.......so ultimately I decide each time that it is best they get them. I just don't want to, why do they need so many at one time?????????? geez even grown adults are scared of shots and they shot our children up with 3 and 4 at a time.
Anyways enough of that here is Maddy before the shots.....and another thing why do they call it the 4th month checkup when it is actually the 5th month?
Anyways she is 15 lbs 1 1/2 oz. 25 3/4 in height. She is 50% in weight and 76% in height. Pretty good for a twin huh.

Now on to my big boy........ what can I say but this kid is huge. He may not look it but he is sooooo big! He is 17 lbs & 11oz (WHAT) the child just turned 5 months! he is 26 1/4 in height. He is 75% in weight and 76% in height. He can't fit it his bouncy anymore I had to buy a new chair for him, he barely fits in the swing I swear the thing looks like it wants to smoke while it struggles to swing him! LOL. BUt he loves it. He does not fit in his Bumble anymore his legs are too fat. The funny thing is I love it it is sooo cute to have this little big guy.............He is sooo laxy though he does not want to stand at all, as for Maddy thats all she wants is for you to hold her so she can stand on you..................
