The best birthday present ever!

Anna got a trampolinefor her birthday! She was sooo excited. She has been asking for a trampoline for over a year now. She's been outside jumping every moment she can. I have noticed a change in her appetite lately - she's actually eating really well - I guess its because of all the energy she's burning off jumping. If I can just convince her that vegetables make you jump higher....

The test bounce: Anna had to try it out as soon as the trampoline was set up. She couldn't wait until the safety netting was in place. Yep, it works!


Jaden had to lend a hand when he saw tools involved. At some point during this process while we were distracted putting the trampoline together Jaden managed to give himself a big cut on his forehead that looked like it came from a screwdriver!

All work and no play makes Jaden a dull baby. He had fun working on his gymnastics skills on the trampoline frame while we were figuring out how to put on the springy part.
How many engineers does it take to put together a trampoline? We're not sure but we had 3! Chris got some much needed help from Laura and Jay Johns. We are very thankful to have them right down the street. They've been very good to us!

Anna was such a patient little girl. She sat here and played in the empty box while we were putting together her present. She has never had a problem amusing herself.
