Jailen's Birthday Party

Today was Jailen's birthday party at the bowling alley. This was the first time most of the kids had been bowling so this was a really good idea. Jailen was so excited about it but he ended up not feeling well and sleeping through most of his own party. Jessica said he had fun the next day opening presents though. All of the kids (and even some of the adults) looked like they were having a really fun time bowling. It is a shame that we don't have a nicer bowling alley with a friendlier staff around here. Maybe it wouldn't have taken us so long to bring the kids.

First Time Day!

Today was the first time Elena got all dressed up in her dance costume. Today was picture day. These are just a couple of pics of her getting ready. Today was also the first time that we moved Landon to the big tub and not the baby tub. Don't know why we waited. He loved it. He didn't want to get out.

Elena doing handy work!

We spent Saturday just painting swings and benches and working in the garden. Elena loved it. She wanted to help with everything. Here are a few pictures of her helping out around the house. She helped us sand the swing and bench and she didn't have a problem getting dirty in the garden. She is always such a good helper. Landon just hung out on the porch watching us.
