Wordy Wednesday

Spencer: "Mama, there's a light inside you and me."

Me: There sure is. Did you learn that at Sunday school?

Spencer: "Namaste. From my yoga."

Spencer: "Wow, the rain looks like little girls dancing in the street!"

Spencer: "I love you as high as the sky as deep as the ocean and as as as as as (he couldn't think of what he wanted to say) as many animals there are in the zoo!"

Jake: How about as many as there are animals in the world?

Spencer: "Oh yea. Okay!"

Opa too!

Opa was here too!! He visited us back in February. I'm just so lazy at blogging lately it didn't get posted.
But after posting Oma's visit I thought I would do a flashback.....



Early Feb 2010...

Kansas was playing in Boulder in early Feb, Opa's b-day to be exact, and Jake was so excited to get to take his Dad to the game for his b-day. Thankfully they won!!

The men all visited Jake's job site while I got a girls day!!

Most days we were up to our normal routine with the added plus have having Opa to play with the boys. And boy do they keep Opa busy playing! But one morning we visited Hammond's Candy. It's a candy factory where they still hand make everything. yummm!!

Opa and Spen heading in for our tour of the factory.

They of course have a candy store. Keeping little hands off everything was tough. Opa bought them each a huge sucker to make them happy.

Watching the candy being made.

I get cracked up at how little Campbell looks here.

We had a fun time having Opa visit. Looking forward to having him come again very soon.

Oma's June visit continued...

More pictures from our Adventures with Oma!

We had so much fun going to the Plains Conservation Center. It was beautiful!

They have a preschool program twice a week where the kids get to learn about different animals that live on the land there. Here Oma and the boys are learning about the Pronghorn's fur and horns.

Spen checking out a prairie dog.
Playing in the Tee Pee.

We even went on a wagon ride around the Conservation Center to look for Pronghorns, the animal they were learning about that day.

The class listening to the lesson. I was SHOCKED that Campbell sat down and stayed in the circle!

We all had such a fun time!

A Saturday visit to The Denver Museum of Science and Nature.

DINOS!

We saw lots of different animals.
It was a great way to spend a rainy day. I think of all of us Campbell had the most fun. He strutted around the museum talking (loud) and so excited. He was like our little tour guide.

Oma and the boys had an adventure at home one night and Jake and I got a date night!! We had a yummy dinner at Sullivan's and then went to Falling Rock Tap house. Yes, I played PacMan. I couldn't resist myself. I was still darn good at it too!! It was fun to get to go into Denver with Jake and a thrill to come home to sleeping babies!! Thank you Oma!

Grandma Mary - Colorado Springs

We ventured to Colorado Springs to visit with Grandma Mary, Jake's grandmother.
She was in town for a family reunion. It was so nice for the boys to finally get to meet her and her them. She gave the boys both a gift. Campbell calls the bear she gave him, "grandma bear."

Playing horse shoes.

They loved this ball game.

Our family with Oma.
On the way home we drove through Garden of the Gods.

Beauty.

Come see us again soon!
