Birthday pics!

 Luke and Isabel's birthday fell on a Sunday this year, so we made a trip of it and went to Denver.  Our plans were to do the Zoo, lunch,  Build a Bear,  then a little shopping.  So we started early Sat. morning, and accomplished it all!!  The kids really seemed to have a special time.  Mom and Dad = exhausted!  But isnt that the sign of a fun day?   Then we left Sunday morning and headed home to have dinner and cupcakes at home.  I let them pick out their bday themes before we left, so we came home and decorated with Hello Kitty and Racecars!  It really was fun to get them all to ourselves this year on their birthday :)

She finally wanted to ride the carousel!  Up until now she's gotten to the front of the line, then changed her mind.JOsh made me ride this time.  Of coarse the kids wanted me to actually ride....
hey, I'm not too proud!
  Luke is between us, but he was loving it!

Thought this was the sweetest little arctic white fox.  He was tiny, but full grown.

Beautiful Grizzly

This was brunch Sunday at our favorite place, Snooze.  Worth the trip alone to Denver or Boulder.

After the zoo, we headed to Build a Bear!
They have always wanted to do this, so we finally gave in and created the bears! Hello kitty for Isabel and a football playing monkey for Luke.

Tired!  Always happy to come home...

No time to wipe faces, let's just party!!!

Let me just say I have ordered many a cakes/cupcakes from specialty bakeries through the years...

I will no longer at least for cupcakes!  These were from the refrigerated section of the Whole Foods bakery.  They are amazing! 

Making my wish, and looking at my Daddy watching me!

We are grateful for another special year with the twinkie-twinks!
