My BFF Celebrity

Check out Casey in Tulsa's Top 40 under 40 Young Leaders!  She is on page 78. I love how they recognized her hard work in the business world and the fact that she is a fantastic mom.  So proud!  I also was a Pi Phi with Baily on page 70.

Weekend

We had a nice basketball filled weekend.  Niles was on call and had to work Saturday, but didn't get called in much.

In an effort to stop Carter from dunking it (lets be real, prob never going happen for the poor kid)  I moved the goal behind the gate so he has to shoot it from far:)  He says "Good Job" or "I did it" when he makes it and "Almost" when he misses.


 My husband is a rockstar!  I have been scouring ebay trying to find a "lot" of Thomas the Train stuff, and Niles found an ad in the Vail Daily for a box of stuff for $50.  This guy could have easily sold this for $300.  Best deal ever! 

 Look what mommy built:)

He has been playing all weekend


Saturday we went to a birthday party for Juni at the Rec center.  Always a fun time .




 Good Morning!
 Dressed like Papa, imagine maroon and black...Red and black is quite nice though...Air Jordan!


 Calling our buddy Cayle.  He says "Hi Cayle, whats up, Bye"
 Tyler got in the game!  Niko did too, but I think he was able to play in a tourney game last year so not his first dance appearance.

Rock Chalk!  Watched some great exciting games...bet dad is wishing he had thought a little more about that Florida Gulf Coast job before he turned in down 2 years ago:)  Who would have thought!  I guess I should also say Go Shockers, but that takes a lot for me to do.

Team Pi Phi takes Denver!

Mary and her friend/nanny Catherine ventured to Denver this last weekend to visit Lisa, Jodi, and I.  I was originally suppose to be in Aspen with Niles for two nights of Yonder, but I had him sell my tickets so I could go have some girl/kiddo time!  I forgot my camera.  All I had was my iphone so the pics are not so great, but it didn't stop me from taking a lot!

I feel very uppity right now bc in those last two sentences I said nanny and Aspen:)

This was my car-ready for any adventure the weekend could bring.  I didn't use any of it:)


Friday Night we hung out at Lis's new house in Littleton for pizza and play time.It was nice to hang out with everyone and watch a little OSU bball.  Just like old times...except we would have been at the game, skinner, and sans kiddos.

Carter kept saying "Two Carsons"  






Saturday we woke up and went to the Children's Museum of Denver.  It was Spectacular!  All of the kids loved it and I will def be taking Carter back.

They had a baby/toddler room full of little people stuff



 

This one is for Papa H



This is what getting four toddlers to take a picture looks like:)
Bubble Room
I love the glasses and lab coats

 Carter, Carson, and Brayden


Fire station
Kinetics Room, I really wished Niles was here for this one. 


Train room



Sat night we went down to Cherry Creek for Margaritas and tacos.  I accidentally ordered a Strawberry/habanero pepper margarita.  Worst mistake ever.  I never send anything back and I had to send it back.


Mary being dramatic like Carter




Playing a little piano

Sweet Claire sharing her snacks








  Stupid me didn't look at the weather or make sure I had a full tank of gas heading into the mountains.  I knew I was going to stop in Silverthorne, so I just went on. Rookie mistake.   It was a full on snowstorm in the mountains.  People were going off the road left and right.  Traffic stopped when I was like half a mile from the tunnel and I thought they had closed it and Carter and I were going to have to sit there for hours with no gas, but we made it through!  The next pass the roads were fine, but we had blowing snow.  It is like driving in a snow tornado.  Needless to say it reminded me why I just stay in the mountains all winter long.



I would do it again for that fun weekend of friends:)

Niles had fun in Aspen too.  A few pics from his adventures.



One more week of testing:(
