Today we went to Pump It Up in Eden Prairie for Lily and Zach's 3rd birthday party. It is pretty neat to have two friends born on the same day! At first Xander was completely overwhelmed and wouldn't go near any of the jumpers or slides. He thought it was too loud with all the generators running and music playing. But he finally warmed up to it and went down the slide by himself. After that, he ran around and bounced like crazy. It was hard because I am too pregnant to go on anything, but thankfully everyone else stepped in to help out where I couldn't. After the kids (and moms and dads) got done playing, we went into the party room for the neatest birthday treat - ice cream cones with cupcakes inside. Needless to say, my little boy has the biggest sweet tooth of any kid there. The rest of them licked off some of the frosting, a couple even got down to the cake, but that was it. Xander gobbled up ever bit of his cupcake, cone, licked the sprinkles off his plate and then asked for another. I was afraid he was going to try to eat the crumbs off of the floor! I have no idea where he gets his love of sweets from. :)

he got stuck and got a hand from our friend Tami. I believe she ended up handing him over the wall to me. :)
How do you get 15 kids to sit still for a photo? Very carefully...and let them know that cupcakes are waiting for them if they do!
Getting a sugar high off of the frosting. I am sure I have made the same face many times!
Always have to get a shot of Xander and his true love (Ann)
Presenting the birthday boy...Zach!
