Birthday parties and more!

While Steve is at his college roommate's wedding the kids and I have been partying it up! We spent the morning at Nana and Grandpa's where Grace and Noah were cracking me up trying to sit in the same small push car. We left Noah there and Grace and I went to her little friend Carter's bday party at a jungle gym place called Makutu's Island. I really don't get her. She was standing at the top of a tall (at least 7 ft!)ladder, and I was making my way over to help her down, when she decided to leap from the top. I have no idea how I caught her, while holding two purses two cameras, and various other bday related items, but somehow I did. (Later today another little boy really got hurt falling from the same ladder...) An onlooking dad commented "man, she's fearless!" I would agree, except that minutes later when we were in the special bday room for cake and pizza, Makutu himself (a guy in a fox costume) came to visit and Grace FREAKED! I mean hysterics!!! I could not calm her down. Go figure. She ended up having lots of fun, and was very excited when she received a gift bag on her way out.("This is the COOLEST Mama!!!")




Noah wasn't super happy that Grace was laughing at him :(





















I can't believe how old she looks!
