Weekly Update

We had a great week--Spring finally arrived towards the end and the weather this weekend was nice.
JR got to sing the National Anthem Friday evening at the Sky Sox game, and we could not have asked for a more beautiful evening.

Partly kidding, I asked Angella and Larissa if they wanted to meet me super early on April 24th for breakfast at IHOP, just like we did last year before I went in to deliver Beckett.  They were totally down!  So we did!  I have good friends. 
April 24th 2018.

April 24th 2017:

We were missing Adam. 
Michelle sent this picture to me that evening--looks like they went out and had a little fun to celebrate. 

On Friday the District and school were closed due to the teacher protests taking place in Denver.  So, we wore our red to show our support!

Molly had her 3rd appointment 3 weeks in a row to deal with this ulcer on her eye.  Hopefully only one more week and she is in the clear!

We went to the school for lunch to serve the teachers that stayed back BBQ.  They were very appreciative. 
As I mentioned, Friday evening JR's 2nd grade class got to sing the National Anthem to open up the Sky Sox Game.  As we were walking in, they asked Alex if she wanted to be the "Play Ball Kid."  She inquired to see if Sox the Fox was going to be involved, and the answer was OH YES--so she said "Hell No."  So Gavin got picked!  So, lucky for me I got to sneak on the filed with Gavin and Larissa and take selfies with Sox!



JR and his buddy Emaliee came to see down.

It was pretty cool!


I got first row to JR and all his buddies coming on the field. 




They did a great job!

We didn't quite stay around long enough to enjoy the fireworks as it was getting late, but we all had a great time. 


I couldn't help snag a pictures of this beauty.  Shortly after this picture was taken she got in BIG trouble Saturday night.   Good thing she is so cute!

Sunday morning coffee on the patio.  Ahhh.

Moses says "I'm just a poor pup from a poor family." 

Then he asked for snuggles.

JR has "Immigration Day" on Thursday at school, so we had to do a Family Tree, his birth certificate, and make a dish from the country that he will be from.  So, we chose Russia out of our options because Russian Tea Cookies are super easy.  Ha!



Ta da!!

We went and got hair cuts, and this little lady got her 2nd professional trim.  Isn't it pretty!?

Mom and Dad joined us for dinner on Sunday night and it came together really well! & looked very pretty on my gray table! 

We can't believe May is already here.  The kids have a 4-day week, and we have family pictures on Sunday evening and a get together with some friends Saturday night.  I also hope to visit Hannah and her new baby Juniper this week.  Busy Busy!!

Weekly Update

We had a fairly busy, and GOOD week.  JR had more thyroid blood-work done--turns out he needs another bump in medicine. I guess that is quite common as he continues to get older.   He was super brave, didn't even flinch and is basically an old pro.  So we celebrated with frozen yogurt (his favorite).


On our way to school in the morning!

This little guy will be ONE tomorrow!  There is talk of meeting Larissa and Angella at the IHOP at 5 am, to celebrate!  Only this time I won't be reporting to labor and delivery one hour later.  I texted with Michelle briefly, and she explained they will be doing a smaller party for Beckett as they just got back from Disney World. 

Can't believe a year has already flown by.  Just a blip on the radar!

Ms. Molly had to go back to see Dr Pierce for a re-check on the ulcer on her eye.  It is better-but not 100%. So the doc gave us another week, and she may end up doing a little procedure to take care of the ulcer this Friday.

Friday night we went up to Chinook Elementary for their annual silent auction fundraiser.  The kids had fun spending all of their tickets on candy, and I won a couple passes to the Denver Zoo!


Of course the kids are always so happy to see each other and visit.

Alex.  MY GWYN!



On Saturday morning, Alex found the movie night stash and suggested we have  a pajama night movie night with our friends.  So we invited them over!

And made cupcakes!

And the kids partied and the adults got to hang out and play pool.


Movie night!

Sam always eventually warms up--she had a great time.

Then on Sunday, we joined the rest of the PPA group for their annual Earth Day clean up along Sand Creek Trail.  It was a beautiful day, which was nice considering we had 2" of snow on Saturday.



We rode the truck down to Barnes, and worked our way back to Stetson Elementary.  The kids did a fantastic job with very little complaining. We did a LOT of walking and picking up of trash and poop.


Very proud of JR and Alex!

Afterwards we pigged out on Cheeseburgers.

Jeff took this shot of Alex--she looks so small on that path!

This week JR gets to sign the National Anthem for the Sky Sox game on Friday night.   The weather should be beautiful!
