happy birthday daddy!!!

yesterday was mario's birthday. i didn't post yesterday because i knew we had some fun things planned to do that evening. i'll just get right to the pictures.

so really i tried to go through these and not post so many, but there were so many i wanted to share. i love taking the kids to do things they've never done before. and minature golf is perfect and fun. i knew they'd be excited, but they were way more excited then i ever expected. elijah keeps asking me when we're going to play again. and play again we will soon. we bought 2 tickets with three games each (we only played one) and we can go back anytime to use the other games + we got 80 tokens for $10.00. they have an online coupon for tokens. check it out. putt putt


first - here's ashleigh on the way to play. i guess you always have to be prepared to go swimming. lately my kids won't go anywhere without their floaties. it's kind of cute. but annoying when i have to carry ashleigh, my stuff, and her floatie!
















elijah and asleigh spent a lot of time telling us what to do. elijah had to always tell and show us where the whole was (sometimes they tried to hide it behind the blocks and obstacles and stuff) and ashleigh just likes to tell everyone what to do.



ashleigh also thought every time there was a block or something big enough for her to stand on, she had to stand on it. but she's so cute!










how you know that it's time to be done playing putt putt...



so we went inside for some video games, skeeball, basketball, deal or no deal, and those spin games where you just try to land on the jackpot (that we did twice winning 250 tickets each time!!!) oh yeah! and dance dance revolution!!!






we had fun, the kids had way too much fun. (now this morning they are grumpy) but i can't wait to do it again. and mario had a great birthday. i'll do a post about what i got him later (after i take some pictures)
also he's having his birthday bbq on friday (he thinks his birthday is all week long) but we love him and had so much fun celebrating with him.
