Hammond's!!

On wednesday we went with our friends Peggy and her baby Marshall to Hammond's Candies! It's a candy factory here in Denver! What's even better is that they do free tours! It was so much fun, really fun rainy day activity for us.



The candy store

Woke up, not really sure what was going on



Candy making!


At the end of the tour, our fantastic tour guide gave each of the babies in the tour lollipops for their baby books! Evie got pink (bubblegum) and Marshall got blue (berry something..). Evie knew just what to do with it! (good thing the wrapper was still on, and don't worry, I took it away after the picture)




Yay! We had so much fun at the candy factory, thanks for going with us Peggy & Marshall!

Moccasins

Jason's mom's co-worker, and his wife, made these moccasins for Evie. They even did the beadwork! They are so gorgeous. She now has two pairs of moccasins, both beautiful.
I still can't get over the roses! If you click on the picture you can see the details better. Evie even likes them, if you look closely in the picture you can see a small wet spot on the toes of her left foot, where she tried to eat the moccasin.

back to baking

This is from the movie.

This is my replica. I made it for a Harry Potter party we were invited to.

Some cupcakes I made and decorated. The frosting was delicious!

Aquarium

We went to the Denver aquarium with our friend Natalie and her two kids. Jason didn't have work so he came with us. I like the aquarium, it was fun, informational, entertaining, and I just plain enjoyed it. The only problem, it's so darn expensive! 15.99 per person! and $7 parking. OUCH! Luckily the baby got in free. I did have fun, and it was worth it. It was really neat seeing all the different fish and we watched a duck dive down and start nipping at a fish. It was really funny. Then there was this bottom feeder fish that would suck up little rocks into its mouth and then spit it out. He was digging a hole. It was really cool!
They also had this little tank where you could touch starfish and stuff. OH! and they had a giant sting ray pool where we could reach in and feel them, that was really cool!!
The Denver aquarium has a neat little show about mermaids! It was really fun! I thought the mermaids were really neat. Although I didn't like how, as Jason put it, "they were teaching false science" They were telling kids that mermaids were real. Still fun though!







Penny, this one is for you.

bwahaha!

Fish are cool!

I love these! Gorgeous!!

After the aquarium. Jason got a couple of pictures on his phone. I'll add them later.

My Harry potter experience!

The flash on my phone went off. It blinded me as well as turned me into a ghost, haha. 

Every year since the first Harry potter movie came out, I have been to the midnight showing. And last night was no different. With Evie in tow we went to the theater, found seats, and watched the movie. Evie was asleep and did better than the teenage girls who, as we were walking up the stairs to find our seats, said disgustedly, "She brought a baby?!" Yes, I did, and my baby did better at the movie than your group of girls did. The movie was GREAT. About 30 minutes until the end of the movie.... The power went out! That's right, my baby didn't wake up and ruin the movie, the power went out!!!! The movie flickered and then went out. There were lights still on because of the generator, but the movie wasn't coming back on. We were told to hold onto our ticket stubs, calmly evacuate the theater and leave the building.

It was ridiculous. Someone came outside and told everyone that we could come back the next day and get a raincheck. By the time we left there were cops all around and we were obviously upset.





Oh well. We got our vouchers, but I don't think I will be using them anytime soon... We'll see.

Caidy and Evie on the couch!

I let Evie gnaw on a cold carrot and she LOVED it!

Just sitting

Smiling before going to the fireworks

Cutie

I brought these nikes for Evie and one night I looked out the back porch and saw pretty much the same shoes! They are Janna's and since she left them my mom has been wearing them so I had to get a picture of them wearing matching shoes! (oops, Penny just informed me they are her shoes)

 We had a lot of fun in Utah. I love that aerial fireworks are legal in Utah and for a full month! I'm pretty jealous! Anyways... I'll probably put more pictures up later. I just wanted to get some up, plus I got to use my brother's and my parent's cameras!!!!! They are so fun to use. I swear I took at LEAST 1000 pictures.
