UMOMC Family Party at Pump it Up January 31, 2009

On Saturday morning, January 31, Emily, Ansley, Bailey and I headed to Pump it Up around 10:45 for the family party for UMOMC. Unfortunately John was out of town, so it was just the four of us. When we arrived, we were greeted by a huge crowd. We had amazingly had the largest turn out ever for a family party which it huge since we normally have tons of people anyway!! After we made it in to the arena, Emily was off and playing in the round jump house as the little ones and I made our way in there. Bailey jumped like crazy, but Ansley was not sure at first. After staying in the round one a few minutes, Ansley and I decided to head out to take a break since she was not that in to it. Emily also had headed out since she spotted Brianna, her new found buddy. After watching Bailey for a little bit, Ansley decided she wanted to do the big slide, so we manage to get Bailey out and the three of us worked out way to the slide. Amazingly with Ansley in one arm, because 1/4 of the way up she decided she would rather be carried vs. climb, hanging on with the other, and trying to make sure Bailey held on, we slowly made our way to the top of the big slide. The three of of whisked down the slide with giggles all around. As most know, it can be quite the work out to get to the top, so I was thinking we would go play somewhere else. Needless to say, both girls egged for "one more time". That is both their latest expressions. Needless to say, it really does not mean, one more time =)




We managed the feat of making it to the top again, when they blew the whistle and it was time to change rooms. When we made it over to the other room, the three of them wanted to go in the jump house for a little bit, but it was soon off to the big slide in that room. All four of us made it down and then Emily was off again to play with her friends. The little ones convinced me for "one more time" about four more times when I was spent. I managed to get them off the slide and over to the other side of the arenas for a few minutes before they were heading to the obstacle course. We were defiantly mice in a cage as we crawled up, down, over and around in the course until finally making it down the slide.

Next we luckily moved on to the play cars and the girls enjoyed playing on the floor a while until it was our turn for pizza. As we walked the hall to the party room, they all were chanting "pizza" and managed to down at least two slices each and Emily managed four with chips. Once they were done we packed up and headed to the house to meet Daddy for him to keep Ansley and Bailey since Emily had two birthday parties to attend in the afternoon.

Around 9:30, we all loaded up in the Quad Rod (Gran's nickname for the van) and headed towards the Georgia. After only one stop on the way, we arrived at the house. We were greeted by several of the Fuller group. While we were there we all enjoyed visiting and a great lunch.

Bowling for UMOMC Moms Night Out January 8, 2009

For moms night out in January, we did something out of the norm. Those of us that were able to make it met up at Golden Lanes in Simpsonville in order to go bowling. The eight of us split into two teams and had a great time!! The big shocker was Sarah Ortiz scoring a big 160 =O Not to mention Tammy and I both scored 135. Who knew our group of pitiful bowlers would do so well. It took us over an hour to bowl one game so we decided to call it quits after that and head for dinner.
