Last years trick or treating left us blindly following a neighbor around our neighborhood...we had only lived here two weeks. A year later I am glad to report that life feels a lot better than it did then. I can't say that the year flew by, but I have met a lot of great people and made good friends. The kids had a great Halloween, with more candy than they could carry home, literally..Aaron came and picked us up in the end.


Sydney was invited to a little people Halloween party. A mummy making competition. We didn't win, but she is quite the mummy cat!!

These are a few of her adorable little buddies.

Sister Fun

The last week flew by, just as I thought it would. It was sooo much fun having Des here, I really hate that we are so far apart! As for the fun stuff we did-Pizza at the park, shopping at the outlets (both with the kids and without, thanks to my wonderful husband) and then Saturday we went into Denver, See's Candy being the ultimate destination. On the way we stopped at the Denver Library for a Halloween skit and I took advantage of the park across from the library for pictures of the girls. We had lunch at the Macaroni Grill (the only and last time I ate there I was on a gluten free diet, needless to say I enjoyed it much more this time!) We then hurried home for trunk'er treat at the church. All the rest of the time was filled in with gabb'n and more gabb'n. Elleree is not only the cutest baby ever, but the best baby, which made her even more irresistible!! I was and still am sad to see them go, but I am so grateful for the time we did get. Love you sis!!

A Weekend Visit

The girls just enjoyed a fun filled visit from grandma and grandpa Petersen. They arrived Friday afternoon. We played at the park, went shopping for Christmas dresses, went to the zoo, made cinnamon rolls and grandma's famous fudge. We managed to do all of these things with out my camera!&*#%?? These pictures are from grandmas camera so that they can have a hug everyday, while they are apart.

Anticipation

I am so excited...the wait is killing me!! My sister and her baby are going to be here Tuesday and will be here for a WHOLE WEEK!! What are we going to do you ask, I have no idea, suggestions are welcome. I DO know that my sis is com'n to town!!

Mom N Me

What a great day!! Sydney and I took a trip to Anderson Farms with a group of friends. Ry and Abs were in school so it was just the two of us. We fed the goats, and a buffalo, what a tongue!! Rode the barrel train a couple times and had a wagon ride with Farmer Harvey out to the pumpkin patch. There was plenty for the eyes to see and do. I didn't drag our friends to all the photo op places I saw, I figure I will wait and do that when I have all three girls!!




All of Sydney's little pun'kn buddies!

Free Day

The girls ( minus Rylie who was in school) and I were invited to take advantage of the Free Day and the Denver Zoo. I love this picture! There were 8 kids and two adults, and I must say that with that even with that many kids and the extra crowds, that trip with off without a hitch!

Soccers come and gone

A big THANKS to Melissa for donating her time so willingly! She did soccer again this fall for both Rylie and Abby's age groups, in addition to coaching her sons middle school team. Crazy I say, but she just smiles. The kids loved it, and I might add that I enjoyed the mommy mingling that went along with it. I don't know what I am going to do with my Wednesdays now.

Discovery Days

I love excuses to get out of the house!! My friend Rachel found out about Discovery Days at the Museum in Longmont. It was great...and Sydney enjoyed herself too:) Tons of projects, you just rotate from one table to the next, and of course it left for picture opportunities.
