Jace 5th Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy Jace! Wow, I cannot believe we have a 5 year old. He is growing up too fast. Right now he's all about the superheroes. That's all he talks about really. What an imagination this kid has too! Some of the things he comes up with just baffles me. He is quite the artist as well. I can't draw some of the things he does. He is also such a BIG help to me with the younger kids. JD and I feel so blessed and lucky to have him in our lives. We love you Jace and hope you had a wonderful birthday!





Poor kid had to wait a few days for his birthday cake since we were moving on his actual birthday and wanted to get settled in first.

For his birthday we took him and a friend to Makutu's Island. This place is such a blast for kids and adults! It's a huge indoor treehouse and pirate ship adventure. Judging from the smiles on their faces, I think it was a hit!

Ok, so here is the best part of the day..... Casey begged me not to put this up on the blog but who are we kidding, there is no way I am leaving this out!! (Sorry Case) So... while I was still inside Makutu's Island with Jace and his friend, JD and Casey decide to take Avery and Brody out and get them in their carseats ready to go. As I walk outside with the little boys Casey said "I don't know how, but I locked the keys in the car." I look at JD and he shakes his head yes. I told them they were lying and went around to check the doors. Yup, all of them were locked and the kids were all buckled up in their carseats. Luckily the car was running so I wasn't freaking out at this point. Good thing too, because it was mid 80's that day. So while I am trying to coax Avery through the window to try and unlock the door, JD is calling 911! And I am having absolutely NO luck with Avery... she was acting like we were speaking Japanese to her or something! No more than 3 minutes later here comes a police officer... followed a few minutes later by a firetruck and another cop car! We were creating quite the scene in the parking lot!! Poor Casey was embarrassed I think... and here I am adding to it! Haha. Anyways, as all 8 of them were working on getting the door unlocked, I was so badly wanting to pull out my camera but felt kindof stupid doing so, until one of the officers said, "You better get that camera out!" Kinda funny, so of course I didn't miss that opportunity! The firemen and officers were really cool about it, handed out some stickers to Jace and his friend, unlocked our door, and we were on our way. Avery and Brody were just fine in the car, Brody was crying just because he hates his carseat right now. I don't think we will forget this moment!

Say "cheese" Casey! Haha
