A visit from Grandpa Sharp AND Terah!

We had a super fun long weekend this past week. Grandpa flew in for a visit on the 15th and Terah got in on the 16th. Grandpa came up from Texas to help with some projects around our house- and Terah came for FUN!
While Grandpa was helping Kyle with replacing the seals on the exterior doors and replacing a fence, Terah and I were snowshoeing and getting our nails done. ;) Hey- I needed some girly time, what can I say.
I picked T up at the airport and we headed straight to Breckenridge! It was a gorgeous day- we were very lucky!

On Saturday, we just relaxed. Got our nails done while the guys put new shelves in the garage.
Saturday night was St. Patrick's Day, so the littles stayed home with Grandpa and we went out to Copper Rail. We had fun-- see? Green Beer!

 **we have a thing for mustaches** :)

**Terah and Adam Levine** :)
We also went to BWW before heading home and playing cards with Grandpa. This was a fun (late) night.
Sunday- we slept in...then Terah, the littles and I headed to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver. We love this place- our second trip this year alone.

And then- we had lunch at Casa Bonita with my friend Marcie! ;) This place is a little weird...and Terah lost her wallet here. We were a little distracted...but we had some fun. We ate, played games in the arcade, went through the "cave" and watched the cliff divers and mariachi band.

 And what trip to Denver would be complete without a puzzle, T? :)

We started this puzzle Sunday night and had it finished before noon on Monday. LOL. NERDS.
It was a fun puzzle and it provided tons of entertainment.

Oh- and T had her wallet returned. A lady found it outside of Casa Bonita and called T's work #. We were able to pick it up before her flight out.

Until next time...

Peyton's first Jiu-Jitsu class

He had so much fun this afternoon- and cannot wait to sign up. He tests for his white belt on Wednesday. :)

Yup- I ran two miles straight. My ave. mile was 12.5 minutes, but whatever! I didn't stop!

this picture makes me happy. :)
i love you guys so much- even when you are driving me nuts.

"cougar town" inspiration

yes, i used to watch it. USED TO.
i always liked the decorated letters in Jules' kitchen (those and her HUGE wine glass that she always drank out of, LOL)
well, here is my version of the letters; E-A-T
i love how they turned out! they look great in my kitchen, too.

he's trying...

...to  take it away from me.

Austin LOVES my Nook tablet. He thinks it's only function is to play cartoons for his enjoyment! LOL

Well little bug, mimmy loves it, too. I will share if you do... :)

{skate} park

Brendan is determined to learn to skateboard. He practices whenever he can.
He had a friend sleepover Friday night- and they both wanted to go to the skate park by our house.
Being the cool mom that I am- I took them. ;)
We stayed for over an hour and they had the best time.
Peyton isn't into skateboarding so he brought his bike.
Austin was NOT happy that he couldn't play with P and B (and dude, LOL). <-- that is what Brendan calls all of his friends, so now Austin thinks that is their name. Aye.
Pics of the skate park fun....

{snow day}

No school and no work= very fun {snow day}!!

 Austin's snow angel

Building an igloo-- they didn't get far...

lots o snow! and cold! come on Summer!!

playing at {Washington Park}

Having fun at the park- Austin gave up trying to keep up with his big bros. They had a huge game of tag going on- good thing the wooden playscape is HUGE! :)
Lil A went down the fireman's pole- he saw some big kids do it, so he was in. Oh boy- this "I think I can do anything" thing better be a phase!

After playing- we walked around the park and found this cool tree by the pond. The boys LOVED climbing all over it.

And then an early dinner at...

Gourmet Hot Dogs. I'm not a big fan- but Kyle & Peyton loved them. They had rattlesnake hotdogs.
January 29th.

Garden of the Gods

All together on a Saturday?! Yes! And it was a gorgeous January day! We definitely took advantage of this.
We decided to drive down to Colorado Springs to visit Garden of the Gods- and since we were there...Rudy's B-B-Q!! Yum! So, yummy food then a fun hike. Best. Day.
We haven't been to Garden of the Gods since 2005- it is such a beautiful place. The boys had a blast running around and climbing- a boys' paradise!
I got a lot of fun pictures today!

Best.Day.
