Our Little Rock Stars

Friday night was was a Rock Star Pizza Party at our church. Troy was pretty excited about this and spent the night before the the big event creating cardboard guitars for the boys to decorate. After making their masterpieces they got on their "cool" clothes, crazy hair and awesome shades and headed to the party! Looks like all 3 boys had a great time!!

Charlie Got a Haircut

A couple weeks ago we took Charlie in to be groomed. When Troy and Daniel went to pick him up, they almost didn't bring him home because they thought they had the wrong dog!! Here are the before and after pictures:
When he got home, I laughed every time I saw him. He just looked so different than the Charlie we sent to the groomer. Now I laugh when I see pictures of him before his big haircut! I guess it's all what you're used to seeing. :-)

It's the pop, pop, popcorn parade!

Last week was a busy week at the boys' school. Monday night was McTeacher Night at McDonald's. We stood in line for 45 minutes for ice cream cones! Thankfully it was for a good cause and the boys really enjoyed seeing their teachers and friends.
Thursday night was the PTA Book Exchange. The boys had fun trading in some of our old books for some new ones. And have been reading voraciously ever since!!

We ended our week with the 1st grade music program--The Popcorn Parade! Gabe and the rest of the first graders entertained us dressed as chefs as they sang popcorn songs. So cute!! The whole menu of songs only took about 10 minutes and then all the kids got to enjoy a bag of popcorn. It's great to be a part of such a busy school but I'm sure glad we're done with that week!!

Life's a Zoo!

I can't believe that it's been so long since I've posted on our Blog!! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun. :-)

Last weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed to Woodland Park Zoo. Apparently, many other people had the same idea, and after walking from one closed gate to an open one and standing in line for a little bit we were finally allowed in and had a great time.

It seems like the animals were more visible and active than they usually are which was great! Some of our favorites were the jaguar that was right up by the viewing area and the otters that were having a great ol' time swimming around. We also saw two little arctic foxes running around near the otter pond--they were so cute!
It was a great day!!
