Happy Halloween!

We decided to dress up as a family this year. I did learn that you are not supposed to cross over DC Comics with Marvel.  We all survived that catastrophe!  We had fun and can see this being a tradition for years to come.

We surprised the kids by showing up at their KinderCare Party dressed up.  Leo was so happy and excited.  He wouldn't stop staring at me.  We then went trick or treating and partied at a friends house.  I think Halloween should be on a Friday every year!

Happy Birthday Gwendolyn!!

It's official.  My little girl is 6 and boy is she already becoming independent.  She even re-branded herself to "Gwendolyn" at school.  I feel that I am a broken record whenever I speak of how amazing Gwen is.  She's so smart and funny. She's beautiful, kind, a total kiss ass at school, and an amazing big sister.  Leo is very lucky to have her as a big sister and Mike and I are so lucky she is our daughter.  I truly believe good things will come from her in her life.  She does and will make such a positive impact on the world and I will have to ride her coat tails!!!  Happy Birthday Gwen.   I love you!

For her birthday party she chose to have her 4 BFFs sleep over.........Addie, Emalee, Morgann, and Lily. I threw a "movie" party where the girls got a stuffie and snacks.  They watched Sleeping Beauty.  I made a purple and white zebra cake.  I am very proud as to how it came out.  I do have to say that the biggest surprise of the party was how crazy the kids were.  There was just so much yelling and running around.  I will though never get tired of a house full of laughter and smiles.  They all slept really well and had a great time.

On her actual birthday we all had the day off from work/school.  We had breakfast at McDonalds and then went and saw Box Trolls.  After dinner we went for Frozen Yogurt.  I even brought a candle so we could sing. It was quite the weekend for her.  Hopefully I get a whole weekend for my birthday too!!

Thank Heaven for Little Boys..........

.....that are cute!

Leo the Soccer Star

Leo is started soccer.  His team's name is the Ninja Red Dragons.  Guess that is what you get when you have a bunch of 3-4 year old boys name the team.  Their clothes are too big. They fall down all the time.  They run towards the wrong goal.  It may be the cutest thing ever.  Leo has no fear.  He's not afraid to get in the crowd and go for the ball.  I am proud of my little man especially since he is one of the the youngest and smallest.

Hail Storm Fun!

We had this crazy hail storm.  Lots of damage in our county.  We were lucky and didn't get much of the hail.  We didn't have any damage besides a dead zucchini plant.  The kids loved playing with the ice though..........

Hiking with Gwen

Gwen had the day off from school so I took the day off and we went hiking.  We went to Roxborough National Park and hiked about 1.5 miles.  Gwen was quite obsessed with the poison ivy that was everywhere. We had so much fun!

Go Broncos!

We took the kiddos to the Broncos game yesterday (they won).  We tailgated with some friends first.  The kiddos played in the dirt and also played corn-hole.  We stayed for most of the game even though it was extremely hot in the sun.  If we get tix again next year we won't be taking them :-). I seriously carried Leo up and down the many steps at least 5 times.  Good thing I do boot camp as he is one heavy little man!!
