Silly AJ...

It sure isn't summer here but AJ sometimes thinks it is as he dances around the house with no shirt on.

Our day was perfect and we're just so thankful for everything.

Star Lighting in Castle Rock

Tonight was the annual Star Lighting on top of "Castle Rock" and it was a beautiful night for it. It's the kick off to the HOLIDAY SEASON and no one wants to miss it. Clancy's and the Osborn's all went and we had a great time!!

Everyone downtown Castle Rock

Kyle,Nick and AJ


Yes...Santa made an appearance and Hayden still isn't so fond of him so that is why I joined him in the photo. Well...not to mention I DO have a few things on my list. Haha!!

After the lighting everyone (19 of us) headed to dinner and to celebrate Gwen's birthday. Happy Birthday....we had a great time.

(Sorry I dont have a picture of the star...but I couldnt get a clear picture)

Pre-Thanksgiving Day feast

Three of my favorite people...Caity,Hayden and Gwen.

They sure did enjoy all the YUMMY food they're so thankful for!

I'm so THANKFUL for my family and friends!!

Season is over!!!

(dont mind the paint...he was studing Pilgrim's and Indians at school)_

Tonight Hayden and only a few boys from his soccer team met for pizza and to get their trophies. These boys and 5 others have been playing since they were 3yrs old. What a great bunch of kids and WOW can they play. They will continue to stay together as the "Sharks"

(Coach and a few members of the Sharks)

I just had to......

Post a few photos of what we witnessed at the race this weekend. It was UNBELIEVABLE and we were SHOCKED but had to laugh when I saw this heading our way. Oh yes, just a seat away from mine.

What outfits!!!!

This is.....

just

CRAZY!!

Racing in AZ!!!

So Justin and I enjoyed a GREAT trip to AZ this past weekend. We not only enjoyed some GREAT Mexican food(a must since Colorado is lacking in that department BIG TIME), visiting family(thank you Bryan and Dawn for meeting up with us...glad we were able to see you both and Lily) and we also went to the Nascar Race at PIR. I've been before but this was a first for Justin. What a crowd that place brings on....I'm not so sure how to even put it in words. Our best friends from here also went to AZ for the race. So it was fun having friends with us.

Justin booked us at the Fairmont Scottsdale..AKA Scottsdale Princess and it was AMAZING!!

Thank you, Happy Anniversay and I love you!!

Orange Crush night!!!

I think we know who Hayden would like to see WIN tonights game...

BRONCOS!!!

( Thanks Grandpa for my new hat....)

Tamale "making" Day!!

Making Tamales was a first for me and just so much FUN . These girls were all great and we all had such a great time. You name it, it was made(pork,chicken,beef, cheese, green chilli chicken..cheese...beef and oh the list goes on) and we all went home with 4dz.

YUM.....YUM!!

(We stopped for a min to take a group photo)

Check-up time...Round 2

Yes....Round 2 was today but now it was AJ's turn. WOW, 10yrs old!! AJ's visit went really good and for the first time I actually waited outside the room. Haha, but I understood!!

AJ is 67.2lbs(45%)

&

53 1/4 in = 4 1/2ft(25%)

The doctor can see that he is very active and doesnt have an ounce of fat on him. He still seems to be a bit smaller but not by much at all.

GREAT JOB AJ!!!!

(AJ...waiting to be seen...oh I was allowed in for just a bit)

Check-up time..Round 1

Yes...The 5yr check-up was today and Hayden did great. A few new things compared to years past. They checked his eyes and I actually had to leave cause he was making me laugh. The concentration in his eyes was just so dang cute.

He was 40.6 lbs (50%)

&

41.5 in tall = 31/2ft (25%)

My little man is getting big but still hasnt hit the 50% in height yet. So when compared to his older brother Hayden weighs a tiny bit more, but AJ was a bit taller. I say ...pretty equal! Hayden was the tiny one but has caught up pretty good. Best part for him was

NO SHOTS!!

(Hayden waiting for his Dr.)

YaY..!!!!

I never thought I/we would be soooo excited to get a shot but YES all 3 of us today were lucky(with no lines) and got our H1N1 vaccination!!!!

Left arm it was and no tears from the little guy. Being high risk is NO fun but I'm so THANKFUL we were fortunate!!
