My view from the dental chair!

My nephews came over this afternoon for a playdate so it was a good excuse to make some cupcake cones!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

This is where I went today for my physical therapy appt...for my back. I now feel about 75% better than yesterday.

Well this isn't the most exciting picture but I had to take a picture of something to indicate that I threw my back out...again. These are the back exercises that I've been doing but something still snapped and once again I'm living on ibuprofen, heat and ice.

Ever since reading the article on 'panning' (showing movement in photos) I've been practicing and practicing the technique all day. I've taken tons of shots... most were deleted, a few were ok but I liked this one the best! My second favorite was THIS PHOTO.

The boys set up a huge Geotrax city this morning and played with it most of the day. I took so many photos but decided on this one as my POTD. I like how Kayla sabotaged the track and Hunter has a determined look on his face to drive his train over her legs. She could've cared less about the whole thing. We had already moved her off the track once but not before I snapped this PHOTO. Also, for those interested in photography, I was practicing a technique called 'panning' which basically shows motion in a photo. In the first pic, the camera was still while the object moved HERE. In this second, more difficult shot, I have to move the camera with the object trying to keep it in focus HERE.

My favorite body spray from Bath & Body works!!! I've been wearing it for quite a few years now and still not tired of it.

The boys and I went to the theater at the Arvada Center to see the play "Just So"

This is Hunter asleep on the sofa at 8:30 am. We thought he was over his stomach bug from the day before but he woke up at 5 am and vomited every 5 minutes until he finally fell asleep from exhaustion just after 8 am. He's all back to normal now, yay!

I was going to take a picture of Hunter, sick on the couch today but I promised Riley I would take a picture of his new friend. He fondly named him 'Riley Jr. Purple Alien'. As an aside, he loves to wear my fluffy slipper socks :)

This is Kayla on her 'perch'. Ever since she was big enough to jump up on this table, it has become her favorite spot to lounge. She just loves hanging out in this spot to keep watch on things like a queen of the yard :). We use to have a smaller deck and a different table but she liked that as well.

Today we went to the Colorado RV, Sports, Boat and Travel Show. The boys had a great time playing in and on all the fun stuff! Greg and I drooled over the 5th-wheels that we hope to own someday!

Lazy Friday afternoon! After a busy week we just relaxed this afternoon and ate (only a few) cookies in bed... and yes, there were lots of crumbs, too :)

March 5, 2009

The boys and I took a field trip tour of Invesco Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos! We got to see some of the luxury suites, press booth, visiting team locker room and of course the field itself. We also got to hear a lot of interesting facts about the stadium and surrounding artwork that I never knew. Very interesting!

Riley jumping off the fence, hoping to fly!

In celebration of the late Dr. Seuss' birthday, we gathered all our Seuss stuff and had a Seuss reading day...may I say...as I lay...on the hay...Hooray! :)

My tulips are coming up... Spring is near!
