Ella's first time in the jumperoo! She loved it! Her big brother Gabe was telling her all about it. He loved helping her jump.
Getting the jumperoo back out brought back some memories of last summer..... after Gabe came home from Riley he couldn't walk, bc he had laid in a bed for 3 and half weeks, so we thought we would get the jumperoo back out for him. He loved it and it was definately an aid in getting his leg strength built back up!

Gabe helped us do some things to get ready for his party throughout last week. Here are some pictures to document his helping hand. By the way his favorite saying right now is "myself". So he wanted no help in doing anything.

Paint time.
SIDE NOTE: funny story to explain the next three pics. Gabe and Andre were playing ball. So the ball lands in the cupcake icing! Gabe thought it was great... He then wanted daddy to like off the ball.... he then realizex the icing is good and licks it himself.
Testing out the finished product.

We really enjoyed our time with family and friends Sunday evening. The rain held off for us just a bit. We were able to eat outside... then came inside for the puppet show production! I was excited to see the kiddos enjoy Andre and Taryn(Joshs girlfriend) being silly.
