Monkeying Around

Emery had a playdate with Matthew and Brooklen at Little Monkey Business in Lone Tree.  So much fun ~ and can't wait to have more than a 30 second conversation with the moms!  :)

Jumpin' at DU

Brendan's jump rope team from school had an opportunity to perform at halftime at a DU basketball game.  Grandma and Grandpa Bailey were able to join us to celebrate!  So much fun and the kids did a great job!  Record attendance for DU that night, too.  We like to say they came to see the jump rope team...
Image
Grandma and Grandpa started out sitting across the arena from us.  "Hi, Grandma and Grandpa!"
Image
We had great seats and enjoyed an interesting game, too.
Image
There's Brendan!
Image
You can really tell that he's one of the two second-graders on the team ~ he looks kind of little in this picture...
Image
He was so excited that he made his trick!
Image
He's a great team player ~ and is really excited to perform next year, too!
Image
Emery's enjoying the show from the best seat in the house!

Image
And that's Grandpa holding her pretzels for her.  :)
Image
DU's mascot, Boone, gets into the game!
Image
Down in front, Boone!
Image
Final score in overtime ~ Florida International 70.  DU 79.  Isaiah Thomas was FIU's coach...

Oh What a Beautiful Morning... (part 2)

Another lazy Belfield morning.  Here's a view to the west of our sunrise and a long icicle.
Image
Perfect morning to cuddle up with the cutest kidlets ever!

Oh What a Beautiful Morning...

Just another pretty sunrise captured from the warmth of our back windows.  I'm most grateful for the little things!

Steel Cut Oatmeal

I'm posting more info about this on another blog ~ A Mother Like Any Other ~ but thought I'd share a few pics here, too.
Image
A bunch of servings to pop in the freezer and a tasty breakfast with some brown sugar and craisins.  Yummy!

Appeal of Child Labor Laws...

Sweeter than Cinderella ~ but not nearly as efficient!
