Big Birthday Party







We decided that since Joey and Turner were in the same class, same tee ball team, and have birthdays just a few days apart...the best thing to do would be to have a joint birthday party. So, since both Joey and Turner are spoiled rotten and don't need any toys we decided to rent them the big jumping, sliding, wall climbing inflatable as part of their birthday present. Here are some pictures of the fun. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Joey wanted a Blue Mohawk for the party!


Here is Joey, Turner, and Aunt Kayleigh in the Junping house.

Even Daddy got in on the fun...taking the picture was a challenge! I almost missed him...just couldn't quite get the timing right!

Here is Me and David manning the Sno-Cone machine...we tried to make snowballs (for those of you not from Maryland...that's a snowcone with marshmellow gooey stuff on it) but it didn't work out so well. It was a really hot day so the Sno-Cones were a big hit...speaking of hitting....we also had a pinata!

Jess was in charge of the blind fold, me I was the mean person who had to make sure that every one got a chance to hit the pinata! Meaning that we had it hanging from a tree and I would pull it up and down while the kids were blind folded so that no one would smash it too much!It was funny though even after everyone got a chance to hit it and we let Joey wack it with all his might...it still wouldn't break...go figure! Finally with Daddy's help we got it opened!

4th of July




Hello all! I hope you had a safe and eventful 4th of July. We didn't have any plans until the last minute...Evie had an ear infection the previous week and wasn't feeling too good so we weren't sure what was going to happen. But Jess, Turner, and Vinny were going up to Harrison Lake and we decided to join them.
Yes, Joey has a lifejacket on, and he is actual on the shore...We didn't throw him out in the middle of the lake...atleast not in this picture. I was actually very proud of him, he is usually a scaredy cat when it comes to "new" things, but he rode on the tube and swam in the lake where he couldn't touch with the rest of us...as did Miss Evie! I know what my grandmother is thinking...that's not safe! We were going very slow and Evie had a lifevest on as well. We came back and Joey and Daddy did some fireworks (Evie says they hurt her ears..the fireworks that is not her dad and her brother!). And that was that! Here are a coulpe more pictures of the day!
