Denver Zoo

We had a great weekend! How about you?
We went to Denver early Friday morning( 5am early!) . We went so Shay could get a passport ASAP. He will probably be going to the Bahamas for work in a couple of weeks. I know, I wish I coud go with!
Anyways, he actually ended up being done pretty quick and we decided to go to the Zoo. Daniel had never been to one. It was pretty hot in Denver, but it was actually really nice at the Zoo with all its shady spots.
We had a really good time. Watching Daniel take over the map, and Sam name out the animals. Watching the sea lion ( one of my favorites!) and the mommy and baby Orangutan.
Here's some of the pictures. All of them from my phone, sorry, not the best !

On Saturday we chilled,and I did some house cleaning. Then on Sunday,church, and we had some new friends over for dinner and a great time.
That's it for today. Sam starts school tomorrow, and we have busy week ahead.
Hope everyone has a great one!

Having a little F U N !

A while ago I saw this post at I Am Momma Hear Me Roar (which is by the way, one of my favorite blogs! Thanks Cheri!) and I've been wanting to try it.
Well, what do you know, a couple of weeks ago I was able to find some cool rocks for it. Now, I don't encourage this mean of getting the rocks, BUT I could not help my self. We were on this cool little river, with the best little rocks. My sister was in town for the week, and she actually got the idea. So we put the kids to work at finding smooth little stones.

Lets just say that when we were done my sister bag was VERY heavy!
Then today when my boys started to get bored, I remembered the bag of rocks and decided to get to work.
                                                       

Here they are halfway done

We decided to do some numbers too

And some I love you's

And never mind that this is what my porch looked like afterwards.

They kids loved painting their little rocks while I made theses. Who knew all I needed to do was to give them some rocks and paint?

Tomorrow we're going to be in Denver for the day. Shay has to go get a Passport there, and me and the kids will come along. I've never been, so I'm excited. Especially since Denver just opened an Ikea!!Yea!( me doing a happy little dance!)

Have a good weekend everyone!

Why I love mornings, even when I don't love mornings!

Because I get to see these two little guys doing this! 

Yes, they're sitting right below our bathroom sink( sorry for the terrible pic, but I was hiding, if they see me taking a picture, they'll stop and say cheese,and I really wanted to get this on camera!)  Daniel had a book and he wanted somebody to read to him, I was running around, as I usually am, getting things ready for the morning. So Sam decided to sit next to Daniel and "read" to him. 

It was so sweet! One of those moments that I get to see how they'll be best friends growing up. I love mornings, even when I don't love mornings!

And I love afternoons too, because I keep seeing these cute faces!
