Gabby's 3rd Birthday

We made another trip back to the cities to celebrate our God-daughter, Gabby's 3rd birthday.  It was a day full of partying and pizza.  And cake.  It was delicious.

Here's the b-day girl!

We headed to Chuck E Cheese at 10:30..A.M.  The kids lovvvved it.  Here's Gabby cashing out at the end of a long morning.

 Holly met us there and brought Gabs a cake. 

After Chuck E's, we headed home and put the tots down for a nap while we geared up for the main event, Gabby's real b-day party at a place called Pump It Up.  With a name like Pump It Up how can you go wrong?  Well, folks, you can't.   For example, here's our entire family zooming down a giant inflatable slide, going way faster than was safe for a 1-year might I add, but so fun.   Yaywhoo!  Pump. It. Up!

The Goin's went faster than we did.  Good stuff!

Here's us with the birthday girl, sitting in another inflatable.  Also, you'd think with all the soft inflatables it would be a guarantee that no child would get hurt.  Well, Gabby (sadly) was the exception to that rule.  During pizza she fell through the picnic bench and smashed her head on the ground.  ouch.  She was also OK.  These kids are troopers!

There was so much excitement going on that at one point, poor Jaime lost Ashton.  We can laugh about it now, but at the time, it was freaky.  Turns out he was stuck in one of the inflatable obstable courses and he was OK, phew. 

Happy Birthday, Gabby!  Thank you, Mike and Michelle for hosting a wonderful weekend of non-stop parties.  

PS - Did you notice the insane formatting of this post?  Somehow I have placed words inside boxes, and all sorts of  word-picture craziness. I have not spent enough time fiddling with the new blogger format so I'm just letting it go.  Thank you.
