A day celebrating birth

Even all these years later, it is still hard to understand why all three of our children have their birthdays so close together.  Makes it very difficult to get parties in, afford to do 3 birthday dinners and get gifts for all three of them at the same time!  We wanted to do Ryan's party the weekend of Labor Day, but one of the only two friends he cared to invite, was going to be out of town.  So we had Lydia and Emily's party on Saturday, September 11 and Ryan's on Sunday, September 12.  Party all weekend long!  :)  The girls tried once again to have their pool party.  This is the third time they have tried to have a sunny pool party and the third time it has been cool and overcast.  Frustrating.  They still had a great time!  Swam and swam and had a small gymnastics showcase at the end.  Pizza and Ice Cream cake and all was happy.  Plus, my cousin, Michelle, came up and brought her girls.  It was nice!

Ryan's party was the next day.  We took him and two of his good friends (Kemper and Kendall) to Jump C'ville.  It is a great place that has trampolines all over the place.  Plus there is a foam pit that you can jump into from trampolines.  Other trampolines allow you to dunk a basketball or do flips in the air.  Of course Lydia and Emily went with us.  Everyone had such a great time.  We went to Cici's for lunch after.  Great day and everyone was tired when we got home.

Though it was not hot and very overcast, the girls all had such a nice time!  Played games and swam the whole time we were there.  The pool is such a great place for a party!!
