The new trampoline

This past week we had another spectacular storm and the trampoline blew into the neighbor's yard...again. Only this time it was a different neighbor and this time there was some minor damage done to her house. The whole experience was actually quite dramatic with John jumping the fence and trying to hoist the thing back over to me in our yard so that it wouldn't cause any more damage, all while the wind is gusting at over 75mph, the rain is pouring, and there were a record number of lightening strikes in our area. There was even a house one street over from us that was struck and caught on fire. Needless to say, the trampoline took it's last flight. The frame was damaged and we're kind of tired of retrieving it from each of the neighbor's yards. I get a feeling that we won't be nominated for neighbor of the year.

Anyway, Tyler decided that he needed something to jump on so he rummaged around the closet and found our air mattress. He dragged it downstairs and begged John to inflate it. Check out how much fun these two had together. Robby gets a kick out of being bounced around by his big brother (thank heavens), and I LOVE how funny they both are when they wrestle together. This happens most nights just before bedtime and I am still amazed that Robby gets just as wound up as Tyler does and that he seems to understand the concept of wrestling before he can even crawl...boys!




Oh, and don't you just love their matching jammies? That was Tyler's idea. How could I resist the little shorts?

They are so cute together! I can't wait to have another kid so they can do things like this together!

I can't believe the trampoline went flying again.

Funny! I watched the videos with my 7 yr. old and he was laughing too.

That is TOOO funny!! Robby's got some NICE air! Those matching pj's are too cute, but the shorts make Robby look WAY too big!

{And no worries, our tramp is being delivered tonight, we'll pick it up tomorrow - and be ready for some jumps!}

Those two are total brothers! I do think rough-housing is genetic for boys...they just can't help themselves...and frankly...we wouldn't want it any other way! Adorable!
