happy birthday taylor

Who knew kids keep growing up - even if you don't want them to at all because it makes you feel really old and then you start feeling like everything hurts and you just want to go back in time because being older isn't as fun as you thought it would be and then you realize you have a ton of responsibility and you wish you could just watch cartoons and eat cereal?

So I now have a 9 year old - yes, 353 days until she is in double digits. It seems like just a few weeks ago she was only 8...

Last weekend we had her Michigan birthday party at High Velocity Sports. We had 3 inflatables set up and then had the rest of the soccer field to run around. We had 7 kids and 5 adults (including all of us) so it was a lot of fun. I was clearly over the height and weight limit for the jumpy things, but it sure didn't stop me...what a fun time...and man, that took a lot of energy out of all of us. One of the kids came up to me after 20 minutes and said, "Man, we have to do this for a whole hour?" No worries, they figured out how to hold up.

It was a great place, they provided snacks (chips and pretzels), pizza, and drinks (lemonade, sprite, and water). It was a good time and I know Taylor had fun. It was good to see so many of her friends again.
