Birthday Party Time!

We had the boy's birthday party on Friday afternoon!  We were originally supposed to have it at Noah's Ark pool, but I rescheduled it on Wednesday due to the weather forecast.  We moved it to our favorite indoor place, Sky Zone.  It was the perfect place to have it!  The boys had a blast with all of their friends that came.  And it was super easy for me!  Just how up with cupcakes and a few decorations, and they took care of ordering pizza!

Going down the slide!

Lots of jumping!


Twirling with some friends!  We pretty much had the entire place to ourselves.  There were only 1 or 2 other kids there for the majority of the party.




Riding the octopus!







Ready for pizza!

So many sweet friends came to celebrate!

My birthday boys!!


How are they about to be 4 and 2?!

Ready for cupcakes!  Can you tell they're excited?!



My sweet boys!

B needed a little help blowing out the candles!  He blew once and then went to grab them while they were still lit!



He loves cupcakes!

Graham and his bestie!  This is the best pic I could get of them!

Everybody ate pizza and cupcakes and went to play some more.  Except for B!  Do you see him down there?  He came back for more pizza of course!

Home and ready to open presents!

His new favorite - Batman!

And now I'm done with my one party for the year! :)  I love being able to have their party together, and it worked out great that they both had new presents to open and play with.  

We love our boys and are so excited to celebrate their birthdays in the next weeks!

Colorado

Last week we flew to Colorado on Thursday afternoon.  We were going to see Uncle Todd and Aunt Elizabeth for a special wedding celebration and house warming party!  They got married in Vegas in April so we were excited to get to celebrate with them!

On the shuttle to the airport.  Of course it was pouring down rain so Trent and I got soaked as we loaded suitcases and Bennett's carseat.

 We ate lunch at CFA and then watched airplanes!

My cute row of travelers!

And my lap child!  Gotta take advantage of him flying free!

We had lots of fun things in their backpacks to keep them busy.
Our flight was an hour and a half late, and we rushed to meet some friends for dinner at the Broadmoor.  It was a long day of travel!

Friday morning we were up bright and early!  We ate breakfast at our hotel, went to Starbucks, and headed to the Olympic Training Center.  The boys and I went on the hour long tour while Trent had a conference call and took care of some work things.  They lasted through the whole tour!  Graham was super into it and loved seeing everything.




The swimming pool


The weight lifting gym

We also got to see the wrestling gym, gymnastics gym, and the shooting range.

We then took a quick drive through Garden of the Gods.  Beautiful!




The rest of the Agnew family got into town in time to meet us for lunch!  The boys got their birthday presents and cupcakes to celebrate!









After naps we went to Todd and Elizabeth's house for a little bit before dinner.  The boys loved the playground down the street, and I loved the view while watching them play!

At dinner with both sides of their family.

Playing with Uncle Todd

Todd and his nephews!

On Friday morning we met everyone at Focus on the Family.  They had some great kids play areas, and an amazing bookstore!  I could've spent all day in there.  Mimi entertained the boys while I looked around.

We then went to Bass Pro.



B loved the fish!

4 generations
That afternoon was the big party at Todd and Elizabeth's house!  I somehow only got 1 picture.  We had a great time with family and meeting Todd and Elizabeth's friends.  

We left there about 6:00 to drive back to Denver and check into our hotel.  We picked up dinner on our way and ate in the room.

The boys were such good travelers, and we were all worn out at this point!

B thought he could claim my bed as his own!  But nope, he slept in a crib by the door, and G and Trent shared the other bed.

We were up bright and early to catch our flight home.  We grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotel while we waited on the shuttle.
G wanted some "colored cheerios!"

Sweet boy slept for more than an hour on the way home.



Graham LOVES airplanes!  He played so well on both flights.

And he was exhausted!  We all crashed early that night after a fun trip to Colorado!
