Pumpkin Farm

October 7, 2018 No Comments

This morning, we went to Joan’s Pumpkin Patch and Farm.

We also met up with Sophie, Avia, Sabrina, and Cecily.

There was so much to do at this farm!

Janie did a little panning for gems, which looked more like colorful aquarium rocks.

Peanut could not wait to ride the train.

There was a petting and feeding area with lots of hungry goats.

We also stopped for lunch at Fiery Shanghai and the Tsaos joined us before heading home. The girls sat together and tried spicy noodles too.

They also had a Snowflake that had rolled ice cream.

Retirement Party

Everyone went to a retirement party with Mama today. It was fun to see all the kids playing together. Dada tried out the tight rope and then the kids all have it a try.

It was also Round 2 of another CHO get-together in the past two days!!

5th Birthday Party

April 22, 2017 No Comments

Today we celebrated Janie’s 5th birthday with friends and family. It was nice to have a house with lots of space outside to throw a party. This year, we had a Paw Patrol Party!

We set-up the warm food inside and the snacks and drinks outside. The front door was decorated with a big banner and balloons.

The kids brought their bikes and scooters to ride around the greenbelt.

We all ate outside together and enjoyed the nice weather.

We also had sidewalk chalk and a bubble station set-up for the kids to play.

Janie had one little spill and had to take a moment to get patched up. Then it was back outside she went!

The kids gathered around to sing “Happy Birthday” and then it was time to eat cake!!

Peanut still wasn’t so sure of what he thought of cake.

The rest of the kids loved it though. We even rounded them up for a group photo with faces stuffed with cake and frosting.

Janie scored a bunch of Paw Patrol loot today and had a fun time at her party.

Happy Birthday, Big Girl!!

Sensory Party

August 7, 2016 No Comments

Tia Patty opened her own sensory gym this year and invited us over for an afternoon of fun.

Peanut hung out in the ball swing with Max who is 10 days older.

There was a train table that he enjoyed destroying.

He also went for a ride on the little burros. First the brown one and then the gray one.

Janie had just as much fun swinging, crawling, jumping, and climbing.

The ball pit with lights underneath was by far her favorite part.

She and Sophie had a fun time together like two little girls in a hot tub.

Meanwhile, Peanut hung out in the pillow pit with Max, Liam, and McKenna. The twins were born just hours after he was at the same hospital!!

Hudson and Henry also came and had a good time.

Sabrina had fun at the train table too but was a little shy around the other kids.

It was so much fun to see all the kids and Mamas all together in one place.

Here’s a video of Janie on the trapeze. She wasn’t as fast as her friend Sophie but pretty good for her first try.

Thank you for such a fun party, Tia Patty! We love your gym!

Vivian’s Birthday Party

July 9, 2016 No Comments

This afternoon, we drove to Lafayette to celebrate Vivan’s 3rd birthday. We arrived early so the kids played at the playground just outside of the gym.

Janie and Peanut enjoyed the firetruck the most.

The party took place inside a kid’s gym. All the kids had a blast climbing, jumping, swinging, and crawling.

Peanut spent some time with Sabrina on the rocking dome. Both were a bit unsure of all the movement.

The big girls tried the trapeze swings and had a fun time swinging, hanging, and crashing on the mat.

Even Avia gave it a try.
