kid's night out

i should mention that 3 year old luke took the fabulous pictures of jon and i!

we're calling this one 'trax-nastics'

jon and i wanted to go to the utes gymnastics meet, then i thought it would be fun to take little chelsea with us, which turned into also taking jess and luke. and because the girls were having a sleepover with becky and shane, they came too!

it was an adventure! we decided to take trax (the big choo-choo train, as luke called it) up to the U after dinner at chik-fil-a. well, we ended up being an hour and a half late and only caught the last 30 minutes of the meet, but it was fun! we were in such a rush to make the train that we forgot to do a potty break, so half way through our ride both girls started bouncin'! so when we had to switch trains, becky ran the girls to the bathroom and somehow snuck onto the train while we waited with luke on the platform and missed the train 'cause they weren't back (we thought!). then becky called from the train to see if we had made it on, which we hadn't! so that put us even more behind! all in all, it was a fun night. little luke loved the train. he wanted to push every button, especially the big red emergency button! when i told him not to push it, he gave me a daring glance and then instead decided to kiss it. yuck! so when i told him not to do that because there were germs on it that we don't want in our mouths, he made a funny face and said, "yucky sperms". :) nice one, kid!

we love these kids so much! i love watching jon interact with them. he will be such a good daddy someday! it was also a good reminder that going anywhere with kids requires an extra hour to get everything ready, packed, and rolling!
