Alexander's birthday weekend extravaganza, part 1

Alexander and Uncle Gabe share a birthday, and since Uncle Gabe is old this year, he and Angie had a party at their house last weekend. We all traveled up there and got to extend Alexander's birthday over several more days.


First things first, all the kids have to run around like puppies for a good long time as soon as we get there. This time the puppies had a toy, Pop.Once the puppies got too rambunctious for inside, we took them outside to run.
Playing in the sand box


Playing in the pool. These little pools always crack me up when we stuff 5 or 6 kids into them. They did just fine though!
This is what the used the pool for mostly. Running across the yard and then "diving" in. Surprisingly, no one got hurt and everyone had fun with it.
Nehemiah didn't run and jump, he would just step into the pool, then request the applause.

baby Kaleb, always a big hit.



coloring with chalk, or eating chalk if you are Arianna.
Playing hide and seek, the tree is "base"

Wow! Looks like a totally fun day! I would have been pretty white knuckled with the whole running and diving into the pool thing.

Isabella not much of a swimmer, eh?
I don't think Levi would dive in the pool either. Xander is pretty adventurous. That picture is scary. How did it not hurt!
Oh, and I like Ari's poneytailed hair. Very cute.
