Party...

Ok, here it is. When I was a bit younger I wanted to be a stewardess (aka flight attendant, if you want to be pc). When I was working at the Brick Oven and would close, I would pull the cart out and pretend to be passing out drinks. (Yes, I am a bit crazy).

When Pan Am came on the air I watched it every week. I LOVED IT! I was extremely disappointed when it was put on hiatus for the stupid GCB (I did watch one episode, I had to give it a chance because I am a HUGE fan of Kristen Chenoweth, and it wasn't good)! Unfortunately the show was cancelled! GAHH! I loved my flight/spy fix, and now it's gone. :( I have missed it.

I was looking at pinterest tonight and was lured into a pin about parties for adults. The picture I saw was for an outdoor old movie party. I love this idea, and when we actually have a decent backyard, I will do this. Anyways, back to the point... The link took me to a list of party ideas, with a fantastic (emphasis on fantastic!) idea.

(Click on the picture to take you to Lynlee's petite cakes' post about the party and what she did).

I'm awestruck. Seriously AMAZING! I want to have a party exactly like it (I couldn't pull it off, but a girl can dream)!

Splash park

We went to the splash park today! We were very lucky that our friends were still there by the time Evie woke up from her nap and we got ready.

We had so much fun! Evie loves being outside and playing with people. She's so social. At the splash park she went up to very kind people and trying to talk to them. She went up to a little girl and sat down next to her and started chatting. She's so sweet.

She loved the water! She was hesitant about the water coming down, but after a while she started walking through it.








The water in this picture fluctuates in height. Evie went over and stood over it when the water wasn't shooting out, and when the water would come out, she would run back to me.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

We had thought about doing a tea party in "celebraton" of the Queen's diamond jubilee, but two out of the three mommy-daughter's were out of town. :(
Evie and I had cucumber sandwiches for lunch on Friday, they turned out pretty good.
This morning we decided to have scones for breakfast. I found a recipe online and instead of using raisins we used chocolate chips.



Here's Evie waiting for the scones.




Yum! (except the bottoms were a little burnt, while the tops were perfect)



Evie ate quite a few, as did I (after cutting off the burnt bottoms).




Watching the Thames diamond jubilee pageant. (Pretty much a river parade. Jason commented on how the boats should be decorated like Harry potter and Lord of the Rings) haha! That would have been fun. It's been interesting watching the boat parade, but I am really glad parades here -like the independence day parade- are more entertaining.

Pictures... Seems like that's I all I put on here these days... Oh well.

Janna got to call for Mother's day! We did google+ this year and it turned out really great! Here's the family photo, missing dad and Kate...



Jason's sister Quita was in town over the weekend and we got to see her and the boys. We were excited to finally meet baby Drake! and he did not disappoint! What a cutie!
Jason had fun practicing the infant neuro exam on Drake. They were both full of smiles, it really was extremely cute!




Quita keeping Evie happy by sharing her water.




We went to a farewell party for a family moving to Maine for residency. :( We're gonna miss them!
Here's a picture of the kids. (P.s. this was roughly 10 ish minutes before Evie's bedtime and she was super tired, but she played well with the other kids and wasn't crying or hysterical, so it was a pre-bedtime success)
(Also, I don't know who the girl is holding the ball. As I looked through the pictures I took, I saw Evie with the ball, then it was on the blanket in front of her, then the little girl picked it up, and handed it to Evie. They were playing catch! Really cute!

Little climber....

Evie is getting really good at climbing... She climbed into her sand and water table (which is holding her toys until it gets a bit warmer)





She climbed onto the stool (got this far and started whining because she wanted to stand on the stool)





Climbed onto a chair and then onto the kitchen table.




Ok, this has nothing to do with climbing... We went swimming at a friend's pool. There is an amazing one foot deep area that the babies play on. Evie grabbed ahold of the string hanging from Piper's floatie and walked around holding onto it. It was really funny.

Family visit

My family (my mom and Penny) came to visit us a couple of days after Jason took Step1.

We went shopping... A LOT

We went to the 16th street mall. We almost took a tour of the federal reserve bank, but didn't have time for it. :( maybe next time. We did go to banana, H&M, and other shopping places.
While we were walking we saw Gandalf the grey.





We went to the american girl doll store, Evie tried to get me to buy her some doll shoes then turned her attention to doll strollers. I guess I have a good idea for a Christmas present this year.
After the American Girl Doll Store we went to Castle Rock and visited their outlets. Mostly the Nike outlet. Penny found a bunch of clothes and my mom got Evie some adorable Nike's.

And what would a trip to Denver be without going to Zoo?

Penny trying to be as tall as the Polar bear

Look how tall she is!

Shhh!! (Don't tell my mom about this picture, she might kill me)

Right before the seal show.

It was fun to watch what the seal could do.

First time eating cotton candy, and clearly loving it!

Oooh the bears! (we overheard a little kid telling another little kid that this brown bear was a polar bear... It was quite funny)

The penguin!

Here's Evie trying to get Penny to help her climb the little wall. She was very upset when Penny wouldn't help her.
