Last Monday we had our neighborhood party with a giant bouncy slide for the whole day.  The kids played and played all day long, and were exhausted by night.

Lizzie and the little kids played in the kiddie pool, they loved going down the slide and laughing the whole way.  
Emily and Isaac each did the bouncy slide at least 100 times that day.  Taylor was sad because he couldn't do the slide, but his friends all played cards with him after they got too tired from sliding, which was very nice! 

Here's Isaac with his friend Jesse. He adores her so much, and wishes he was her boyfriend!  It's super funny and cute to watch.  She is his favorite, but he gets embarrassed when we talk about it. 

We all got pizza for lunch and then kept on playing all afternoon!
By dinner everyone was hungry again, and we had a big BBQ in our neighbors backyard.  It was a  fantastic day spending time with friends and neighbors. 

The kids and their friends dressed up as pirates.  Isaac was the captain, and he was bosssing everyone around to "go to the ship" and "don't forget your weapons".  It was cute to see their imaginations at work.

Lizzie loves her popsicles/ice cream bars.  She insists on holding it by herself, and we just hose her off when she's done!  She's 17 months old now, and really starting to talk.  She communicates by words, grunts, pointing, whining and screaming. 
She's a spoiled little girl, and we love her!
