our newest addition


Our newest addition is a TRAMPOLINE!

Yes, I never really thought about getting one, probably b/c I didn't have one growing up, but Terry did out at the ranch and he wanted to get the kids one. Plus, it's nice outside now and we're always feeling like the kids are wanting more to do. Terry says it's because we don't live in the country. I agree w/him.



Terry did a great job setting it up. And as you can see, it's one of those safe ones with a net around it and pad over the springs so kids can't fall out. This is especially helpful for Evie who likes to lean on the netting.

Terry is either mid-jump or he's working out his leg muscles.

Terry spins the boy.

Noah especially enjoys the tramp. While Terry was setting it up Noah and I were sitting on it and Noah introduced me a make-believe Lion King game. He was Simba, but has since become Mufasa, I'm Nala, Terry is a Big Deer and Evie is a Little Deer. I'm not sure what else we do besides bounce around, case Scar, yell at Snap who is a hyena, sleep in a cave and wake up 2 seconds after we laid down, but Noah really likes it. He refuses to be called "Noah" and corrects us w/, "No, I'm Mufusa." Okaaaay. And then when he calls me "Nala" it sounds so much like "Noah" that it takes me a bit to catch up to what he wants. Funny boy.

Evie on the other hand currently has a love-hate relationship w/the tramp. She likes to walk around on it but has a hard time staying on her feet, even if Noah isn't bouncing. So when she does fall, which is often, she does a lot of crying. It can't be b/c it hurts (b/c it doesn't). We think she must be frustrated that she keeps falling when otherwise, she doesn't fall that much. She's a pretty independent little booger and likes to be busy. When she falls, it interrupts her plan, b/c, you better believe she has a plan.

Here's a short video of Terry and Noah showing off.
