I took Ingrid and her friend Rory to an indoor bounce house place and then out for burgers this afternoon. Think they loved it?

Yesterday the Missile got another temporary cast and June is learning how to love him when he's hurt just like May did. 

Snow and Broken Bones

So Maximus broke his wrist at school yesterday in two places. And we got a little snow this morning. Enough to shut down all schools in Denver, the mail, most businesses, I-25 and many, many roads. Of course we bundled up and went to the gym. 

This is poor Missile at school in the nurses office. I took him to the ER right away. 

Temporary cast until tomorrow's permanent one. 

This was the snow we got in just five hours. It hasn't stopped and won't until tonight. 

This is a four lane road shut down to just one. 

But hey! No one was at the gym this morning so I had the whole place to myself!

Ingrid is FOUR!

Say what? Four! Biggie is the size of a two year old and acts like she's 14. Happy birthday, Ingrid Gladys!

She wanted a princess party and this is her new pretty dress!

But on the actual day of her birthday, she asked that we go have sushi and of course, we jumped all over that! 

I made her class some cupcakes for her birthday and it was swim day. She was exhausted. 

Rory, Ingrid, Addison and Lucille. 

Her pretty Whole Foods cake!

Snow!

I love when it storms. We just got about 14 inches and it was absolutely beautiful! It was a snow day at school, so we got together with some friends and went sledding!

GO BRONCOS!!!

With the Super Bowl coming up, the people of Colorado are going nuts. Each Friday, the first couple hundred people at King Soopers (grocery store) get a limited edition magnet. Yes, Jesse went to one location at 6am while Ingrid and I went to another one at 7am. We got our magnets though! 

The Missile is 8!

This kid is the big 8 today! With all the ups and downs, I'm so grateful to be the mother to a very passionate, insightful, kind, intelligent, strong willed and loving son. He had his birthday party with 15 buddies on Saturday. Today he got a new skateboard and gets to go out to his favorite Mongolian restaurant for dinner. Go Maximissile! Let's make 8 great!

First Hair Trim

We finally let Ingrid get a trim today. No length was cut off, just trimmed the edges so it didn't look so messy. She LOVED it and when we were done she goes, "now can we get smoothies and walk around the mall?" Stop growing up!

Christmas and New Years

Big man Jesse carrying little Junie Toons up to bed. 

Snow! Beautiful, beautiful snow!

Just for you, mom.

The Toon is so crazy most of the day that she sleeps like this after dinner. 

Barbie Dream House and American Girl!

Missile was stoked. 

June was sleeping in the same spot that May used to. 

During the break, we pretty much spent our time with friends. 

A nice, quiet Italian restaurant and these two know how to act. One, because we've always taken them out and two, because they know mom and dad will lose it on them if they're not well behaved. 

New Years Eve!

We went to my friend Fiona's house first, then to my friend Tiffany's. 

Fiona, Terena and me. 

Tracey and I ended up smooshed with the kids on Tiffany's sofa last night. 

  

I'm so grateful for the women I've met here in North Denver!
