Birthday's, Museums, Parks, Oh My !!!!

Well November here in Indy brings nice fall days at the park. I think Jenneth went down this slide at least 20 times.

Tristen only went on the slide once as he said "these slides are for babies!"

Tristen was so good to Jenneth. She wanted to go on this swing thing over and over again, but only if Tristen went on with her and held her.

These kids must get their thrill of spinny rides from their Dad. It made me sick just watching them spin around, around, and around. Granted we did laugh as they would walk sideways when they got off.

If you ask me, Brian had fun just seeing them spin as he always volunteer to spin them FAST !!!

Here's Nana and the kids. Nana is our official candy hander outer. Since Brian works, I take both kids around and Nana hands out the candy. We then treated her to dinner Logan's where she waited patiently 40 minutes for a table. I think she about died when she realized that we were just leaving the restaurant at 9:45pm!!!!

Don't we all looked thrilled???

Here is our fierce Storm Trooper. Can I tell you that I paid about just as much for the exact shooter that these storm troopers use???? Not just any shooter would do.

See that look??? Yup she had that expression all night long. Granted she did get used to the fact that when we went to each house she would get candy, but not without Mom going to every single door with her.

And of course our little baby girl turned 2 on November 1st. I love this picture. This is what happens when you have two 2 year olds and only one of them gets to open presents. We quickly had to move onto the next gift and find something to distract.

This would be after the wagon struggle. Jenneth wanted to show us that this was HER new movie.

Here's Jenneth, Brian, and Tristen with the Elmo Cake. Jenneth was not at all excited about everyone singing to her and making her the center of attention. She apparently does not take after her Mother who absolutely LOVES her Birthday.

We had some visitors from Denver who we were so excited to see. Here is Zander tackling Tristen. Tristen would lay on the floor and both Zander and Jacobi would just walk, crawl all over him. They all thought it was great. Tristen loved the babies and was so good with them.

Here's Jacobi taking her turn to jump on Tristen.

We took a day and went to the Children's Museum. For those of you in Indy know that when you take the kids to the Play Scape area it is all but impossible to get them out. You should have seen Jenneth fighting Brian to keep her smock on and play in the water. This picture was obviously prior to the fight.

Here is Brian, Jenneth, and Tristen at the Science area.

This was awesome. There were tunnels that you could climb through in this tree/mound. I had already gone through all the tunnels and convinced Brian to go through. This is him coming out laughing as it took him forever to turn around as you have crawl through on your knees and then get to your bottom to slide down. Needless to say, I am much shorter and did not think of that when I sent Brian through. He is such a good sport.

Here is Chase, Keola, Zander, and Tristen digging. Granted Zander was just trying to eat the mulch, but hey everyone needs a little fiber in their diet right????

This is not the greatest picture as you can't see the faces but here is the gang looking through a window at some fish.

Here is Tristen and Chase in the treehouse.

Jenneth and her Dinosaur that she was playing with at the Museum.

Here is Miss Jacobi herself walking around the Dinosaurs.

And then you have Chase and Tristen digging for fossils. I must say that it was a great day at the Museum. The parents were done way before the kids. At the end of the day, Keola was trying to convince the kids that there was a really cool exhibit that he wanted to show them......"The Parking Garage."
