Adeline's favorite part

The kids got to bounce!  With the rope the staff would pull them up and the kids would flip themselves over.

Jaely went....

And then Maya....

And then Addy...

Adeline has had a lot of practice with this with her Daddy.  He always pulls them up while they flip around.

After everyone had their turn the kids laid down and played pop the popcorn!

Jaely's Fifth Brithday Party

We had the pleasure of being invited to Jaely's birthday party.  This was held at Cassell Gymnastics in Norton Shores.  Jealy is a part of their gymnastics program.  For a whole hour their staff took the kids through many different areas of the floor.  To say the kids had a blast would be an understatement.  

They started off with somersaults, then moved on to cartwheels, and then they climbed ropes.

I was so impressed with Adeline's determination.  She didn't get upset if she couldn't do something she just tried harder until she got it.

After the ropes they made it over to the trampoline....Adeline seemed like a pro with this....

Then they had you hop over two mats...a little tricky.

Camey is so cute.  She was so much fun to watch.

Daddy and Addy Dance

So James said there was one thing he and Adeline didn't get to do at the dance.  And that was actually dance.  Adeline was too caught up with her friends and all the fun crafts/treats that she and Daddy didn't have a slow dance together.  

When Daddy got home Addy and I turned on a song and Adeline went and asked Daddy to dance with her.  Andrew was napping at the time so after this picture I left the room and let them have their special time together.

Andrew's stickers put to good use

When we got home this is what Andrew decided to do with his stickers.  Eventually they ended up on James and I.

To end the night....

....we went out for ice cream.  YUM!

I love being with my boy!  Thanks buddy for the fun night!

Andrew had to make sure he got every last drop of ice cream :)

And, I guess they were out of napkins.

Turning in his tickets

This actually might have been his favorite game.

And a very happy little boy left with some candy, stickers, and two toys.

Playing all of the games

Andrew and I went all around playing whichever game he wanted.  This top game was fun because once Andrew started he decided he was done and then just walked away.  I called him back after finishing up for him so that he could get his tickets.

Andrew loved this game.  He did pretty good too.

I loved playing so many games with Andrew and being able to watch his excitement as he played and walked around.  I also loved when he would just randomly grab my hand.

Mother/Son Night

Since Adeline and James were having a date night it only made sense that Andrew and I went on too. Our destination was Chuck E Cheeses.  Andrew was super excited and so was I to spend some one on one fun time together.

We took our old camera where you can see yourself on the side.  When that happens it is hard to focus and not look at the side.

Andrew also got pop and pizza.  He was way more excited about the pop.

Funny faces....I think this is my favorite one.

The official picture!

I love it!  

Adeline looks so proud to be with her Daddy!

Photo Booth Pictures

Adeline and James had these planned out ahead of time.  There was much conversation about what pose to do.  Here they are.....

 The smile

 The crazy

 The tough 

( love Adeline's look...."I don't know why I'm angry" that's what I think she is thinking)

The mask 

(And Adeline's eye's are AWESOME)

Pictures of the dance

Adeline in front of the welcome sign....next to her prince I'm assuming.

Adeline with our neighbor friend Breshana.  

It will be fun when Spring finally comes and she can come play.

Adeline with some of her first grade buddies.

James said that Adeline just ate, and ate, and ate all of the sweets at the table.  I was surprised that there was to belly ache when she got home.

Daddy and Addy's picture on the wall in the center.

Not only did James and Addy do the photo booth but Adeline also went in with some of her girlfriends.  Here they are discussing how it's going to work.

Crafts at the dance

This was a great idea, especially for little girls.  Adeline was so sweet because not only did she make herself the glasses but she also made some blue ones for her brother.

The finished product.

Date Night at Fazolli's

James loves to go to Fazolli's for two reasons.  

#1  He likes their food  

#2  You don't have to tip

So before the dance James picked up Addy and they headed out to dinner.  Addy and James both ordered Chicken Fettuccine and they got as many breadsticks as they wanted.

I love this picture....James used the timer.

A kind person took this shot.  James said that people kept commenting on the pretty princess sitting in the booth.  And Adeline would say "I'm not a "real" princess, I'm just dressed like one".  I'm glad she clarified :)

Adeline was very excited because when asked what she wanted to drink she immediately asked for POP.  And she got it....Sprite that is.

And for dessert they shared a Lemon Ice.  James asked Adeline if she liked it and she said "So Good!"
