Deerfield Spray Ground

Sunday, July 15th we spent the afternoon at a new city park. It is Deerfield Hills Spray Ground. (http://www.springsgov.com/Page.asp?NavID=6878) Everyone had fun - even Hunter who fell and scraped up his face pretty good.

Isabella's Birthday at Chuck E Cheese

The Birthday Girl!!

Miss Becky crocheted Isabella a pair of Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. Isabella is sleeping with them.
Isabella with two of her friends and Hunter dancing at Chuck E Cheese. We have told the kids they can each have ONE birthday at Chuck E Cheese. I'm not sure Brett and I can handle any more than that. The place is crazy, but it is kind of nice to only have to show up - no planning, no cake making, no decorating, etc. Chuck E Cheese does it all for us.

Sabrina was quite facisnated by the lights at Chuck E Cheese.
What a gang of kids, pizza, cake and of course TOKENS!

Isabella got a little shy when Chuck E sang Happy Birthday to her.
I had to blow out the candles on her cake. Isabella hasn't blown out the candles at any of her birthdays yet. She gets incredibly shy or kind of scared of the candles.
Isabella is finishing off her birthday celebration with some cotton candy!

At two months old ...

For all four of the kids' first six months, I have taken a picture of them each month in the bouncy chair. This is Sabrina's two month old bouncy chair picture.




We went to the YMCA's community picnic on July 4th. Sabrina wasn't too interested in the hot dogs or snow cones.
On July 5th we went to Woodland Park for their July 4th celebration. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic accompanied the fireworks show. Sabrina was just about asleep when the fireworks started. I wish I could have taken a picture of how big her eyes got with the sound of the fireworks.




I took a few pictures of Sabrina while Brett and the other kids tried out our new canoe for the first time. I love Sabrina's cute smile in this picture!

Hunter is Terrible Two!

HUNTER'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

We invited a few family friends for dinner and cake to celebrate Hunter's birthday. Brett and I made Turkey Kabobs with peanut sauce (Yummy!). It was a VERY hot evening, so the ice cream cake was a perfect choice. Hunter blew out his candles all on his own.
Orion shows Hunter how to lick the icing off of the candles.
Miss Becky (the kids' daycare provider) encouraged Hunter to pick up his piece of ice cream cake and get his WHOLE face in it.
Orion enjoyed the blue icing as well.

Hunter LOVES to jump, so we got him a mini-jumper. The kids have enjoyed the jumper in the backyard and in the TV room - especially jumping off the couch onto it.
Orion, Isabella and Christopher run through the sprinkler toy.

The kids had a great time after ice cream cake running around the backyard through the sprinkler and on the jumping toy.
