Field Trip to CSU's Agricultural Research Center

Kayla's class went on a field trip to CSU's ARDEC today. It was interesting and fun all at the same time.

This is a lesson on Farm Safety.....

Interesting, huh?!?!?!

Hat Day....

Today was hat day at school! The girls were so excited to wear hats that they haven't gotten a chance to wear before!

Twin Day at school...

Today was Twin Day at school. Kayla had lots of twins and Allie had just one!

Estes Park

We went to Estes Park on Sunday. The weather was so perfect and we had a great time! We watched the Elk for a long time, walked around and ate lots of sweets and played some mini golf! Perfect fall day:)]

Allie's donation drop off!

After school we went over to the Humane Society to present them with Allie's birthday donations! $275.46 was the grand total! They were very happy to get the donation, they interviewed her on why she chose them and why she collected donations instead of presents. It was very fun and Allie was really proud of herself!

Allie's Birthday Party.....finally!!!

Wow....it was quite a party! 23 kids at Kidz Fit + 3 sets of grandparents = TONS of fun! Allie decided on no presents this year but to collect donations for the Larimer County Humane Society. She collected $275! She is very excited to be able to take it to them sometime this week! As for me....birthday week is officially OVER!!!

Allie and her new wheels!!!

Allie's week of birthday festivities continues.....Grandma Mary and Grandpa Jimmy gave her the gift she has aways wanted.....a new pink scooter!!!

Soccer Saturday!

The girls had their second games of the season with lots of special guests! Grandma Mary and Grandpa Jimmy from Florida and Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Wally from Nebraska! They both played really good too:)

Colorado Run - Labor Day 2009

The girls and I did the Colorado Run today! The kids ran the kids run and I did the the 5K Run/Walk! It was a good time! (If you click the title of this post you will be directed to our newspaper and a picture of Allie!)

Allie's Birthday!

Allie is offically 6 today! We took her and Kayla to see High School Musical at the Dinner Theatre for lunch followed by opening presents and a BBQ with Grandma and Grandpa!





This is the one thing she asked for!

Allie's School Celebration....

The celebrations have officially begun! Allie turns 6 on Sunday and celebrated today with her classmates! She brought a nice cool treat for a HOT day and then played Freeze Tag and Duck Duck Goose! The seal has been broken and she is now in "birthday princess" mode!

Swim Team Begins Again!!!

Vortex, the year round swim team started this week. Allie decided she wanted to give it a try.....there was good and there was bad! She is by far the littlest one there, and in the swim cap she looks even smaller than usual! She did what they told her to do without issue - only if they said she "had" too! The rest of the time she had nothing but issues - googles too tight, googles getting water in them, swim cap falling off (how is that possible?!?!?). The worst part of all was finding out that her group practices the same day as soccer. Soooooo, Allie will begin in November...maybe:) As for Kayla....she is ready to dominate!!!
