Sunday Snippets

An update: I haven't written in forever, sorry. Life is crazy---maybe I'm crazy, maybe my kids are driving me crazy---(I think these are all true to some extent) BUT God is good. I love my family, and I am so hopeful for spring:) I did end up going "home" ---aka Rockford this last week--- we were all sick the week before and I had worked alot too, so I was about at the end of my rope with grumpy-pants kiddos, so a refreshing visit home was just what I needed---my dear sweet mother and father welcomed crabby, needy children into their hearts and home, and so, as Jason was pounding away at the grades at the end of the trimester (I am so proud of my husband for working so hard!), we had a sweet repose from the everyday. Thanks a million bazillion Mom and Dad for having us:) Anyway, here are some sweet pics from a dear friend's 3rd birthday party that we enjoyed last Sunday evening----it was also a reunion of several good friends from church:) These boys have a blast together! (I think the dads had just as much fun as the boys:) B and Jonas thought it was funny how the air blew up their hair---I wish I had gotten the incessant giggles on recording (it was too cute:)

Club Jump is a fantastic place to run off energy----a HUGE room full of giant inflatables----slides, obstacle courses, bounce castles---and we had the place to ourselves:) I want one in my basement----but first, I need a basement:) Freya had fun too---intently watching EVERYTHING---this little lady is so blessed to have a built-in-entertainer as her big brother. I can't say it enough:)
