Playing outside

It was such a nice day outside, we just had to get outside. Chloe is still trying to learn how to peddle on her tricycle.

Green Mountain burnt

We live in a area called Green Mountain. Right up against the mountains. Anyways, on 8/4/2008 we had a storm in the afternoon, which started a fire on Green Mountain. They think that it was lightning that started it. Anyways, it was a little scary but I knew that it had to burn through alot of homes before it would hit ours. But still only being a couple miles away it makes you think what you would grab if you had to leave. Here are some pictures that I took 8/19/2008

Denver Zoo

We bought a membership at the Denver Zoo. Both Chloe and Austin love animals. Chloe always asks if she can go see the animals at the Zoot (Zoo). It was alot of fun. One crazy thing that happened, we were in the gorilla house and the kids were up on the step to look in at the gorillas. We heard a airplane fly overhead and it must have spooked one of the gorilla or he just didn't like it. But he can charging at the glass where the kids were standing and hit the glass hard with both of his hands up. That was a shock. 8/10/2008

Cousins

We went to go see my cousin who lives in Littleton (it is about 15 minutes away from me). And most of her family was also at her house. It was soo awesome. Since this was the first time that I saw her new house and I was able to meet most of my cousins' kids. Chloe and Austin had a blast. Chloe is now constantly asking to go and see her cousins and play. Especially since she saw all of her cousins on Shawn's side of the family over the 4th of July. So she now thinks that most little kids are her cousins. 8/2/2008

Play Group (Water Park)

We went to a park with a water feature for our moms playgroup from church. It was a ton of fun. My kids just love water. And I found out that Austin loves to explore. 7/31/2008

Sister's Jewerly

Austin just loves to do what his sister does. So he decided to put on some jewerly. Of course, it had to be every piece that she has. What a silly kid.

Sunburn

I just will never learn. I haven't had a bad sunburn since high school. Well I got one the beginning of July. Ouch! So that finally has healed. Well, we went to our apartment complex pool party on 7/28. I thought "I am tan, I won't need sunscreen", bad thought. At least I put it on the kids. We were out there a couple hours, no big deal. Not until that night we I was getting ready for bed did I notice this on my shoulder. A little handprint, most likely from Austin. I guess when the sunscreen I used gets wet it comes off (the package said it wouldn't...grr). So it got on me and left a funny tan line.

I love my babies

I love my babies, especially when they are being nice to each other. I just bought Austin this Spider-Man couch, to reduce the fighting over Chloe's Cinderella chair. Well, I guess they now like this one more.... At least there is enough room for both of them on it. 7/25/2008

Sleepy time

Chloe has developed this habit of putting me or Shawn to bed, if we are laying on the floor. She will grab pillows and put them under your head, feet and one for your tummy (I have no idea why for that one). And then place her blanket on you, say "good night", give you a kiss, and then say "go to sleep". This time I guess she was tired also.
