Bowling Birthday Party

Last Saturday, the 20th, the kids were invited to a friends birthday bowling party.  We have been bowling as a family a few times and they always love it.  They especially enjoyed it this time with friends, pizza and cupcakes!

Abbie posing with her bowling ball.

She has quite the form!

I love the reaction.  She missed all the pins, yes even with the gutter gates up you can still do that?!

Graham would start all the way back at the seats and run with the ball.  He won on his team.  He was very proud of himself!

Showing Marty how strong he is!  (I still can't get used to the missing teeth.)

Even Marty got to bowl, here Molly was giving him a hand.

Daddy and daughter bowling.

Molly got to bowl some herself also.  Here another Marty is helping her bowl.  Molly did insist on carrying the ball to the lane by herself every time though!

A group shot, and yes I have still given up on getting a good one with all them in it:)

Can you see the bowling ball?  It is hard to see because it is in the air!  It was the funniest moment, C threw the ball and it went flying and then bounced really hard and would have gone in the other lane if the gutter gates weren't there.  We all laughed so hard, but not to hard because we didn't want sweet C to think we were laughing at him:)

Spring Break Day 3

Wednesday was a great day. The Moms4Moms group had an Easter picnic, the kids enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and then playing at Maitland Community Park which is definitely one of their favorite parks.


Look at all the eggs, these were only a portion of the eggs. There were lots of kids at the picnic.


Graham and Abbie were so sweet holding hands down the bumpy slide.


Graham such a sweet brother helping Molly.

All three after the hunt.

Then later that afternoon Marty came home early and we took the kids bowling. Graham had earned some free bowling passes from his school. All the kids enjoyed bowling. Molly was so funny she would push the bowling ball down the lane and then immediately run back to get another ball. She didn't want to watch the pins knock over, she just wanted to do it again.


Here she is running back for another ball!

Abbie loved bowling once we had the little bowling ramp thing. She was so funny carrying the 6lb ball. She kept saying it was too heavy and really did have a hard time carrying it.



Graham did a good job bowling. We saw one of his friends from school there also so he had a blast getting to hang out of with her.


Aren't there little bowling shoes so cute?

Marty, of course, won the game but I didn't do to bad either.
