NICK'S 12TH BIRTHDAY!!

Thank you to everyone who remembered Nick's birthday! I can't believe he is now officially 12. He will be bigger than me come next year. He had a great weekend! His buddy, Mason slept over Friday night and came back again Saturday for his party. A few other boys from class came to enjoy the festivities at Mr. Biggs. They played lazer tag, putt putt, some kind of robot game, a twister ride and the ball pit. The boys sure can eat! They ate at Mr. Biggs and then at home later in the evening. I think they were trying to set some kind of record by staying up until 5am. I was asleep while David kept an eye on them..:) I'm too old for parties. I'm hoping this is the last one..ha ha. We took the boys to a pumpkin patch but unfortunately it was pretty smelly. Couldn't find one pumpkin that wasn't falling apart. We'll try again next weekend at another farm. We took the boys to a mexican place called Casa Bonita which was quite interesting. It was like being in a underground cave; extremely big with a haunted house, and games to play. They also put on a little show where the actors did some cliff diving into a big pool.

BIRTHDAYS IN OCTOBER

Our David recently had a birthday this week. WOW - he is now 35! Still the love of our lives. Happy Birthday and many more!

Nick is growing up fast. He will be 12 this Saturday. I think he will be taller than me come next year...:) He is having friends join in lazer tag and miniature golf fun. They'll be coming back to our house for pizza and a sleepover. What happened to the birthdays we use to have where you sit in the birthday chair get one gift and smacks on the rear? Have a great Birthday - boo!<

FALL SEPTEMBER 2008

JAKE'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

A couple of shots of Jake at his party. He had lots of fun! He also had his first flagfootball game. He just loves football. I still think he is going to ask me to play the real game next year...ugh!

The weekend was fun and tiring. We took the boys up to Shaw Pass - just pass Echo Mountain for a really nice hike. I always forget to bring a sweater when up in the mountains as it was a little chilly. We took the blanket up with us and had a picnic off the mountain eating Subway..yum...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!!

Our little Jake will be 7 tomorrow - September 6th. He is so excited for tomorrow to come. We are going to pick up Nicky tonight at the airport. It will be nice that he can spend the day tomorrow with his brother. We will be celebrating his birthday at Color Me Mine. Jake loves to paint, draw, etc. It will be a football theme as we are all getting pumped up for the Broncos to begin the season. Thanks pop for the gift - we'll give it to him on his birthday. :) Here are some pictures of our time together while he was on school break. They go back to school next week. Yippeeeee.

WEATHER IS CHANGING

A couple of weeks ago we were having dinner with some friends and noticed a couple of funnels forming. They have an awesome view of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It seems that we had quite a few tornadoes touch down in Parker. Kids were running around excited and ready to depart to the basement in the event it came any closer. I never knew that Parker got tornadoes. We had to put some cardboard on my car so that the golf ball like hail didn't damage the roof. Here is another couple of shots after the storm pasted.
