Happy, Happy Birthday Jayne! Isn’t it GREAT to be EIGHT?
Blizzard warning means no school today; Blizzard warning means crank up the “Best of Pink” radio station and DANCE all day Birthday Girl (and she did)!
Jayne chose donuts for breakfast (Mark chose…”Can we each have two?”), and Jayne chose “nodles” and dumplings for supper!
We love you “funy” birthday girl!
Zero sleeps Jayne! Your kid birthday party is HERE!
Theme selection at Party City…
“I LOVE my birthday!”
stated by Jayne over and over again, in big volume, from the start of the shopping til the last party favor was put into our cart! FUN!
This big day comes just once a year, so naturally Jayne was ready for her part!
~Our 8 Year Old Birthday Girl~
“Foam” much Fun!
A great party for a great girl! Such a great party that…
Brynn, who has been planning a swimming birthday party since her five year old birthday ended, said tonight,
“Mom, I am going to have to change to a gymnastics birthday party cuz I have an owie on my thumb and I can’t go swimming.”
Put me in coach…
I am KIND OF ready to play, today!
Mark and Jayne, Co-ed Basketball Stars!
Mark was great at dribbling HIGH and water breaks!
Jayne was great at defense…but unfortunately she played defense on her “man” on both ends of the court :\
A very entertaining basketball season!
Of note, both kids were also very good at the end of the year pizza party :) Each asked for seconds of the lukewarm pizza!
Such fun!
Day One of Spring Break~Red Lodge, Montana
Coach E met us on the mountain…the kids love skiing, talking basketball and talking geography with Coach.
Day Two and Three of Spring Break~Bridger Bowl, Bozeman Montana
A milestone trip…Brynn officially ditched her harness (and her Daddy in charge of the harness) at Bridger.
A GREAT spring break!
Can’t wait for next year when all five will scream down the mountain (and through the trees) only to wait “patiently” for Mom to turtle down the mountain so they can hop on the chair lift and do it again!
4th Grade Breakfast Buddies today!
Menu: Muffins and Hot Cocoa
Luke’s selection for buddy…
Strong buddy choice Luke because Mom did not see Reddi Whip on the menu for our cocoa, so she packed some in her purse!
Mom + Reddi Whip = Best Buddy Ever?!*
Yep, the naughty leprechaun is back…and he is naughtier than ever!
It appears, Mr. Leprechaun gave himself a spoon full of frosting and a bowl full of Lucky Charm marshmallows…and the kids, spoon handles full of frosting and bowls full of Lucky Charms toasted oats.
Not pictured, Remi licking off the frosting footprints from the door!
Pinch me…the excitement is too much!
Got cake?!* Yep, because we’ve got birthdays in March!
Happy Birthday to CLMJB’s Mom, Papa and Uncle Bob!
Dad had the GREAT idea to get a whiteboard to capture our favorite things about those celebrating birthdays!
Mom LOVES new traditions!
(Will note Dad as a hero for this idea in September on the whiteboard)
And will note, Kate-r as the best cake eater in December :)
Kate-r and Papa…licking the ice cream cake platter CLEAN!
So timely that Brynn is learning about the letter “V” this week in preschool!
“V” is for Violin (Luke) and Viola (Caleb)!
Viva! Viva Caleb and Luke!
We loVe orchestra concerts!
Caleb’s 5th grade class is buddies with Jayne and Mark’s 1st grade class.
Jayne and Mark attended Caleb’s Rube Goldberg Project today!
Dominoes, a soup can with a string, a Nerf Gun, ripline, golf balls, beads, a hockey puck, a soccer shoe and if all goes as planned, a ~GOAL~
On the second attempt, every reaction happened as Caleb (and Dad) had planned…and the crowd went wild!
~~GOAL~~
but no one was more proud than Jayne!
Dad and Luke are already brainstorming for next year!
