Happy Birthday Nicholas!

Thursday was Nicholas's 3rd birthday! Nicholas is in Sunday School with Luka. Amy (Mom) also has an adorable baby girl (6 mos) named Caroline - how did I not get a pic? Nick's party was at a play place called "Pump It Up" in Vernon Hills. There are a ton of big inflated bouncy things to play on - the favorite was the slide...

Nick & Amy down the slide!!


Nick on the slide - no, my photo isn't blurry - it's the speed!!


Luka down the slide - what a hair raising experience!!


I will climb the wall!! Well, maybe not.


I can gather and throw TWO balls - can you??


Hmmm... where to next?


Need a water break - I think I got at least some in my mouth... I love water!!


But I love cake more!! Look at this great Cold Stone Creamery chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cake!!


Hmmm - wonder if they would notice if I took a little taste while the other kids are eating pizza...


Such a cutie - being all patient and using a big boy cup so well (compared to Luka who ended up with a good portion on his shirt - thank goodness it was a dark color!).


Amy's Dad, Nicholas and Amy. Do you think the cake was good, asks Nick? What, do I have any on my face or something?


Fun was had by all. I got to meet some of Amy's sweet girlfriends and their children - I think one of them was quite smitten with Luka... Thank you Amy for a great party and Happy Birthday Nick!
