Jumping jelly beans

My nieces' birthdays are about a week apart so usually my sister celebrates them with one party. This year the girls wanted a gymnastics party at a gym where they get to jump around with six trampolines everywhere in the ground. Nolan was timid at first and then at the end we couldn't get him to leave. He loved it. His hair was drenched with sweat and they both crashed on the way home. Campbell RAN everywhere (and let me say, this chubby boy doesn't run too much unless it's something he's really into). Justin and I even took part in the fun. I wish I would have snapped some pictures of Justin doing a cannonball into the noodle pool. Oh, I think he misses being a kid a lot. Kids shouldn't have all the fun, right?

Avery turned 9 on Oct. 25th

Madison doing a toe touch...awww I remember those days in cheerleading.

Ok, so here's my attempt 12 years out of high school and out of a cheerleading uniform. Hey, it's not perfect, but I'm 30 people!

Campbell even loved jumping too!

This summer on two different occasions, I had my nieces come spend the night with us. Avery came at the beginning of the summer and helped get us to swim lessons and Adalyn came at the end of the summer for one last slumber party before school. You would think I'm crazy having another one spend the night but they are so wonderful to have over. It's like having a nanny here with as much energy as they do to keep up with them and play with them. The boys love them and love all the attention and playtime they get when they're over. They are such sweet girls and it's hard to believe that Justin and I used to have slumber parties with them over when they were little and now they're helping us!

Adalyn and Campbell-they definitely got the Hispanic genes in the family. Look at those tans!
