This is the jumping castle we rented for Sydney's 4th birthday. Luckily we got it from our neighbors because the original day we were planning her birthday was very cold and rainy. We rescheduled for the following day which was dry and much warmer. All the kids had a blast jumping around. When it was time to sing happy birthday I thought to myself "Hmm, it would nice if we could turn the blower off quick to sing happy birthday because that blower is pretty load." So I ran around back and unplugged it. Well you might be surprised to know that a bouncy castle deflates VERY fast once you unplug the fan. Luckily disaster was averted as another parent quickly plugged it back in. After the party we all got to jump around a little together as a family before dismantling it. Jump castles are fun! Here is the slide show of the birthday pictures.

Melissa, Sydney & Bryce
I've posted a bunch of pictures from between Easter to Sydney's birthday. Click on the picture to go to our Flickr photo stream or view the slideshow by clicking here.
Kozmo the therapy dog
Here is a picture taken recently of Kozmo at the Avista Hospital ER with one of his favorite nurses (or maybe it's just that she loves dogs). He's been going about every other week as Melissa finds the time to take him. She recently took him and wanted to visit a friend who had just had a baby. So the nurses in the ER said they'd watch him. When she got back they had laid out towels for him to lay on, filled up a bowl of water, and were feeding him treats! No wonder he's so excited to go! He seems to know to behave when he gets there although sometimes he does get a little excited. Once he licked a little girl right in the face as she was going to pet him. Luckily the parents and the ilttle girl were ok with it but Melissa let him know he was in trouble. Even at 7 years old he's still learning new tricks!
Melissa Running
Melissa is a running machine these days. She's joined a running group which meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings to do sprints, mile repeats, and all sorts of madness. She's also on a program which is ramping up to the Georgetown to Idaho Springs half marathon on August 11. I have been riding next to her on my bike with the kids in the bike trailer and we sometimes have a hard time keeping up with her. Last weekend she did 11 miles while we rode next to her. Now I leave you with a relavent movie quote: As the old timer in Back to the Future III so aptly said, "Run for fun? What the heck kind of fun is that?"

Sydney & Bryce on Easter
Finally updating the blog again. This photo was taken on Easter and it belongs to a Flickr set with Easter photos and some when Opa and Oma came to visit. Click away to see the rest! I'll try to post some more photos soon so I can eventually catch up to the present day.
