Club Just Jump

We had a party to celebrate Tehya and Ada's birthdays this weekend. We rented out Club Just Jump in Woodbury for a couple of hours and had a blast! We are so glad that so many friends were able to come jump around with us!
The birthday girls both got to go in the cash cube. Good thing it wasn't real money because it was blowing around so fast they could hardly grab a piece!

Everything at Club Just Jump is an inflatable, and they are all so much fun! There are jumpers, slides, and obstacle courses. We explored every inch of that place!

Everyone had fun playing today, even the adults. We were all laughing because the only injuries from the day were on the grownups! Dan ended up with a skinned up knee, and I have some pretty good rubber burn on my elbow. We were all exhausted too!

Tehya liked the idea of sharing a birthday celebration with Ada, but she insisted on having her own birthday cake. Dan and I thought that was a reasonable request, so we did in fact have two birthday cakes at the party!

Tehya had a funky Hannah Montana themed cake, and Ada had a super cute Hello Kitty one. What a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Nana Yvonne just celebrated her 80th Birthday!

The Krisnik family gathered for brunch and had a wonderful time sharing stories, jokes and lots of great food! Nana asked that we not buy her any gifts, so the family all pitched in and bought tons of socks and underwear for little boys and girls that Nana could donate to her favorite charity, Josephs Coat. What a wonderful feeling to help those in need and celebrate a wonderful event with family all in the same day!

Happy Birthday Nana, we love you!

As a mom sometimes I make mistakes. I think this is normal, but I still feel badly when it happens. Tehya had gotten in trouble a few weeks ago for peeling pieces of the wall paper border off of the wall in the girls' room. Well, a few days later it was discovered that Miss Ada has learned how to climb! Apparently she has been going on to Tehya's bed and peeling "pretty stickers" off. As cute as this is, I am not pleased that she has ruined the border that Grandma Sue and I worked so hard to get up (lots of uneven edges and shapes made it very dificult to get the border straight on the wall). I had to apologize to Tehya for blaming her for something that wasn't her fault, and then reprimand Ada for doing something naughty. Oh what a day!

The plan is to move both of the girls downstairs into rooms of their own soon, so I will be redecorating the upstairs bedroom anyway, but this wasn't the way I envisioned my plan happening! Oh the joys of parenthood....
