Kyle's Pump It Up Party

We had Kyle's birthday pary at Pump It Up, an inflatable bounce house place. The kids had a blast, the adults did too!

Happy Birthday Kyle

Yesterday was Kyle's 4th birthday. He woke up and we opened his birthday gifts. He got a Lightning McQueen bike, a monster truck, cars, and a game. After we had train and plane pancakes then we went to church. After church Michael, Mary, Ashlee, Kristen, Melissa, Mom, Dad, Brian, and Kim came over for a birthday dinner. Melissa's birthday is today so we had the combined birthday yesterday. We had hamburgers and hot dogs, opened family gifts, and had cake.

Today Kyle and I made treats for him to take to preschool. We made chocolate suckers shaped like ice cream cones. They turned out really cute.

Kyle took his first bike ride on his bike today. He was so exited! He took 1 little spill. He was riding on the sidewalk and was looking down at the pedals and steered right off the sidewalk into the street and tipped the bike over. He got right back up and kept going. He did great riding down the street but coming back up I had to push him (it is a little bit of an incline).

1st Dentist Vist

Kyle had his 1st dentist visit. He did a great job! The hygenist took x-rays, cleaned his teeth, applied floride, then the dentist checked his teeth. He was so gooood!!!!! And no cavities by the way.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! I have not done a good job of posting each week so this is a recap of the past two weeks. There are 3 more posts with pictures so check them out.

For New Years Eve we have a tradition of having a Prime Rib with the family. This year we had to chaperone the youth dance. So we had our dinner early with Mom and Dad (Kim and Brian re-heated it later) and then headed off to the dance. Mom and Dad were lucky enough to watch Kyle and he even had his 1st sleep over. We picked him up the next morning.

For New Years we had everyone over and we played games and hung out. Kim had to go to work at 2:30 so we met at 11 am. We ate left overs from Christmas and stuff through the week. Clean the fridge out snacking. After Kim left the kids started to get cranky. So Michael and Mary left. Mom, Dad, Henry and I watched some bowl games.

Zoo Lights 12-29

Every year we try yo go the Denver Zoo's Zoo Lights. The past few years had not worked out. But this year we all made it! Yeah for us! Kyle loves to look at Christmas lights and was having a blast.

Merry Christmas!!!

We spent Christmas Eve at Mom and Dad's. We ate dinner at 7:30 because Kim got off work at 7:00. So we had to be quick with the Christmas Eve festivities (kids get cranky the later it gets). All the kids opened their pajamas as their one gift on Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning Mom, Dad, Brian, and Kim all came over at 8am to open Christmas gifts. Santa left their gifts and stockings at our house. Kyle was so excited! He popped out of bed and said "I think Santa came. Lets go see what he brought me." We had to wait for everyone though. Poor kid, he was so antsy to go see what Santa brought.

After we opened gifts we had breakfast and hung out.

The next day we went out to Michael's and Mary's to open family gifts. Kyle was excited to open more Christmas gifts. We played some games and had pizza.

Kim and Brian bought the kids Chinese PJs (Melissa and Kyle) and dresses (Kristen and Ashlee).

Cookie Houses 12-21

Brian went to Hong Kong with Kim to visit her family for a week and a half so we waited to do some of our holiday stuff. They got back on the 20th and we had Mom's birthday dinner that night at Michael and Mary's. Brian and Kim were so tired we ate and took them home. To see mom's cake you can go my cake blog.

The next night we did cookie houses at our house. They were actually graham cracker houses. The kids always have fun with this. It is a tradition with Henry's mom and it is one he really wants to carry one, and the kids have a blast. My house has sprinkles on the floor for weeks after, but the kids have fun (at least that is what I tell myself :))

Before the mayhem.
