Last weekend, we traveled down to Fort Collins for a birthday party. The party was at one of those bouncy houses/inflatable stuff places. Long story short, the kids had a BLAST! They ran around until they were both ragged and Will told me at the end of the party, "I just want to go home." I should clarify that he told me this while lying face down on the floor. Reina even enjoyed herself. She's not as adventurous, or maybe fool-hardy, as her brother but she definitely displayed some adrenaline-junky-like tendencies by enlisting the birthday girl's 10-year-old cousin to carry her up the giant inflatable slide about 1400 times. Here she is in one of the bouncy houses. Hmmm, I wonder which side of the family she inherited her sense of balance from? 
At the end of the party, the grown-ups attempted to take a group photo. The phrase "herding cats" comes to mind when you undertake a project of this magnitude. (Mostly) Everyone is sitting facing forward. Some kids are even smiling. Some look happy, some look tired. 
Let's zoom in on the Bronco Babies okay? Little Miss Oral Fixation is missing her chupee. Will's wondering if it's time for cake. 
Awww, well things are looking up when the cake and ice cream arrives. You can see in the background that everyone else is gathering around to sing "happy birthday." Not my two. It's ice cream time! 
After the birthday party, Aunt Vicky joined us and gamely drove around Fort Collins so that I could run some errands while the kids dozed in the backseat. After a while, we met up with Grandma Hansen and two of my aunts who endured a rather wild dinner with sleep-deprived kids in a sit-down restaurant. The kids were so tired that they didn't even wake up when we arrived back home and I changed them into the jammies. A very fun day was had by all!

File this one under, 'anything Will can do, I can do better.' Plastic Buzz wings designed for a 6-yr old? No problem! Strap those puppies on and let's around the house bouncing off of the furniture! 
I don't know what's going on in this picture but I like it.

Is the beard the special annoucement? :)
It's not just a "beard" Val, it's a facial hair extravaganza! And yes, that was the special announcement. We're a wild crowd over here.
