Adrian is TWO!

Here is the invite since I am a bad mom and did not mail them to Oklahoma peeps....


The front yard.... Leo loved his caution tape columns;)

The things you can do with caution tape and 2 wire hangers....


The coloring table for the kiddos...

Birthday dessert table

Adrian's birthday cake.... it was very much a little dude cake


Dirt cups

Construction hat cake pops in my concrete block pop stand:)


Adrian's birthday banner in the living room


Snacks for the party peeps....

We pretty much decorated everything with caution tape:)


You can't have a worksite without a port-a-potty


Tool belts and hard hats for the kids...

He is loving his new truck collection!

Blowing out his 2 candles.... he got it on his first try... not that we think he is advanced or anything;)

There were a few toddler tackles that occurred in the bounce house:) It was fun watching him get into it and rough house a bit.

Checking out some of the small trucks around the house....

The "work zone" for the kids painting the cardboard house that we made

One more function for a tool box.... juice box cooler:)

This much partying in a weekend is exhausting... these kids needs a break!

(notice the truck in hand while sleeping)


A huge thank you to everyone that helped us celebrate his birthday!


And an especially big thank you to my parents and husband who helped me come out of my pre-birthday party chaos in one piece! Oh, and did I mention that Leo and my dad tiled the kitchen that morning.... not that we like a lot on our plate or anything:) Thanks for all the help! Safe travels and see you again in 10 days!

Fall Fun!

A few weeks ago our great neighbors got together for a few fall festivities that included some treats, pumpkin painting and watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" outside. The kids and I had a great time (Leo was in a conference in Orlando)


Here are the kids getting ready for the movie on the bean bag...

Adrian creating his Halloween work of art....

Lorelei chillin on the quilt while momma sips on some of the Hinga's super yummy "adult cider".... soooo good!!!
It was a steam engine day at the train museum in Golden this past weekend for Halloween.
Adrian loved it! The steam engine was really cool:)

The kids and I checking out one of the big engines...

The steam engine hard at work....


My pumkins striking a pose with some fellow pumkins.....



My orange duo! We got tons of compliments courtesy of great grandma's knit pumkin hats:)


Lorelei was all grins matching her big brother:)

Adrian quickly got the hang of Trick-or-Treat... he would go up to the door and say "Treat!....Thank you!" He did not even allow the option of a trick.... smart kid:)All smiles while cruising the block:)



Hope that everyone had a fun filled Halloween!
