"Fish are our friends, not food!"

Happy Halloween!!
I love Halloween especially since I have a little guy to dress- up. I about died when I found this shark costume- classic!

It's true, I LOVE Jaden in tights!

A Little Explaining!!

Where the heck have I been?? I can give a ton of excuses, but why, I'm back !! Now I guess I owe some explaining about The Chapped Lips. It's a real band, yeah right!! My friend Clairissa is in LOVE with Muse and decided to make a girls trip out of going to the concert in AZ. She is an incredible photographer and is a genius on the old Mac, so she had us do a photo shoot and make a video. We had the best time acting like rocker chicks and making dorks of ourselves filming the video. Clairissa then cut it together and put it on You Tube. I think we might be famous!!

Now, how do I know these rocker chicks?? We know each other from our ward in CO. The bummer is Clairissa has moved to Georgia and Kara moved back to CA. The ward has never been the same since! Erin and Susanne still live by me and are proud to be a member of The Chapped Lips. I hope this explained some of your questions, and yeah, I know we're NUTS!!!

What else has been going on? Here's a quick recap:

The Young Women earned a trip up to Grand Lake and we had a blast!!

I said I would pay the 1st girl that jumped into the freezing cold lake $20.

Catherine made me pay up!

View from our hike.

Marc and Karen took us to the Rockies playoff game against the Padres. It was so exciting to be there when they won. You all know what has happened since that game, swept the D'Backs and got spanked my the Red Sox last night. Hopefully they will get their act together. As Jaden says, "Go Rocks!!"

I love Karen cheering behind Doug. Jaden was out of it. We didn't get home until midnight!

Now this past week my Mom came to visit!! We had the best time together. We stayed up in Breckenridge and went to Grand Lake. Fall has arrived and winter is just around the corner!

It was soooooo windy in Grand Lake!!

We had to make a CPK visit and even found some killer deals at Anthropologie!!

Jaden loved wearing Grandma's polka dot glasses!

Grandma played with Jaden outside while I got ready. When I came out, he was only wearing his onesie and boots. You got to love CO weather, one day snow and the next day it's 70!!!
WE MISS YOU GRANDMA!!!!

The Chapped Lips are Back Baby!!!

Yeah, we made a music video- check it out!!
Great work Clairissa, I mean Claire. Seriously.

Happy Birthday Jaden!!

Our little guy is officially 2 (bummer, now he costs a plane ticket)! We packed a lot in this weekend celebrating his b-day!!

We had a b-day party at Belleview Park on Saturday where we rode the train! He has become a train guy for sure!

The b-day crew!

Dad, the b-day boy, Grandma, and Grandpa!

The b-day boy got away with this. . . he was soaked!!

Poor Elmo! He had no idea what was coming!

At first Jaden liked hitting Elmo, but was very SAD when Elmo's neck broke! Thank goodness for a Grandpa who repaired his broken neck!

The b-day bunch! All loaded up on candy!

Jaden loved having everyone sing to him!

It was so cute because all of the kids wanted to help him open his presents!

Grandma and Grandpa had been waiting since Easter to give him these clubs!

No cart for this guy! He'll be walking the course for sure!

Finally his own bike and helmet!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH and have been blessed beyond measure as your parents! You truly are a blessing and a joy to be around!
Love, Mom and Dad

Hot Topic

I leave tomorrow for a Girls Weekend in Scottsdale, AZ and lets just say, for the trip, I had to purchase something from Hot Topic!! Stay Tuned!!!

Didn't get done what I was supposed to get done, but who cares- not the mouse!!

I'm the worst!!! I was supposed to get a number of things done this weekend like:

1. Clean out the garage and buy mouse poison- there's a mouse in there, I have seen the little guy or girl scurry around and found some droppings, I know, gross!!

2. DUST- it's needed- black furniture doesn't hide much!

3. Vacuum- light carpet doesn't hide dark hair or remnants of Jaden's breakfast!

4. Paint my bedroom- who am I kidding, I have been meaning to do that for the last 2 years!!

Instead I:

Got together with Whitney and her sister Chelsea who came to visit from CA.

Was psycho and went to the "Day Out with Thomas" in Golden, CO (yeah, the beer capitol for Coors) by myself, since Doug was out of town. We had to be bussed to the Railroad Museum, due to the number of Thomas fans.

Jaden on the bus. He thought it was so cool

Thomas made out of Legos.

He was not a fan of the petting zoo!

The actual Thomas train that drove us around for 25 minutes- ugh!

And went bowling with the Beehives, with some fatherless children!

I have next weekend, right??

The only reason I'm glad summer is over!!

The Office- September 27th!!

What has the Office been up to this summer? Watch this clip, you won't be disappointed!!

FOUND: My Husband and an Adventure!

I don't even know where to begin!! We have had so much fun together since Doug has been home. We're always up for an adventure and this Labor Day Weekend was no exception! Literally, last minute, we booked a hotel up in Winter Park (we got a killer deal!!) and headed up to the mountains for some major fun!
