Jump Zone

We recently were invited to a birthday party at JumpZone. It is just like Pump it Up but I think better. Everett has having a blast and I was thinking about possibly having his 3rd birthday party there. Not 2 seconds later, he collided with a 4 year old boy and Everett's front tooth went into the back of the kid's head. Never mind the birthday party there.
It is two weeks later and am happy to report that Everett's tooth is just fine. I was concerned it was going to get discolored, much like Trinity's did after her mouth injury, but it is pearly white and strong in there. phew!

I love the look on Trinity's face in this video. She goes from having fun, to then becoming terrified, and then back to fun.

234 years old.

Looking good America.

We had a great 4th of July. We started in church where the message was "Free Indeed." It was a great message that combined having true freedom in Christ with examining the spiritual life of George Washington. It was great.

We then headed to Mundelein to the Ivanhoe Golf Club (Eddie's cousin is a member) where we spent the day swimming, eating, jumping, bouncing, dancing, eating, sliding, rock climbing, running, eating, screaming, racing, hula hooping, bike riding, eating, walking, swinging, horse riding and then firework watching. We are not sure who was more tired, the kids or us. Reeve was awake from 2:30 (when we got there) through the end of the fireworks at 9:45. Not sure how he made it that long. He was a little freaked out by the noise but calmed down in mama's arms long enough to enjoy the show.

After the show, we ran to the car, put the kids in their jammies and headed home. They were sleeping 5 minutes into the ride and we were able to successfully transplant all sleeping kids into their beds at 11:30. Thankfully, everyone slept in the next day.

This video cracks me up not only because they are jamming to Mmmm Bop but because Everett is playing the guitar on his guitar shaped sunglasses.
