Bike Trailer

My mom and Dad were so gracious and sent us a brand new bike trailer! I have been wanting one because it is hard to go on family bike rides with both the girls unable to ride on their own. The girls absolutely loved it and Jazlynn screamed when we made her get out! Thanks mom and dad we love it!!!


Jared carting the girls around!

My turn- now we can ride bikes to school- Jaydon is so excited!

We pulled the girls out of bed to try it out and they were really excited- we had to promise a ride the next day to get them out of it.

Janae's 4th Birthday!!!

Well I know this is backtracking but I had to do a post on Janae's Birthday!! Last tuesday Janae officially turned 4- and we celebrated it practically all week long. On monday we had a family party for her and on Tuesday we met the Bontragers' at Inflatable Wonderland. On Friday we had her "Pajama Party" and all her little friends came. She seemed to have alot of fun and allthough it was a hectic week it was alot of fun!


All the kids having popcorn and watching a movie. Janae came up with the theme and all the activities herself. Here is Jack, Jazzy, Brooklyn, Sophie, Chloe, Savannah, Ellie, Janae, Cassandra, Evka, Sydney, Vivian and Marlee.

Janae's menu was Pizza and Watermelon. The kids seemed to like it!

After dinner we made ice cream sundaes instead of cake and ice cream. We had lots of topping and the girls had a blast making HUGE sundaes!

Jazzy in her Jammies.

All the girls with BIG smiles!

Here she is- 4 years old... so sad she is growing up sooooo fast! What a cutie!
