Bowling

 Hi There from Snowy Colorado - Finally!  We are finally getting some snow around here.  We got a few inches late last week (Denver and other areas got more than a Foot!!  Boo), and then last night we got a few more inches.  Nothing much to talk about, but Riley is surely loving playing in it.  Jayce still isn't a big fan (I think he takes after me) so he and I stay inside while Riley takes the dogs in the backyard and has a blast! 

This week we've just been hanging around the house mostly.  Tuesday Lacey and I had a mini-girl's night to celebrate her birthday.  I took her to Rasta Pasta (one of my favorite restaurants in old town) and then we just did some shopping.  Yes, we spent our time away from kids walking around Bed Bath & Beyond and Target . . . and it was AWESOME!!  We didn't have to yell 'sit down' or 'come here' every 30 sec., and we didn't have to hear 'I want this' every 10 sec.  One of the best girl's nights I've had in a while.  Just the two of us engaged in adult conversation for nearly 4 hours straight!  Heaven!!! 

So back to our uneventful week at home!  Here's a few pics of the boys. 

Sometimes it's easier to jump right in rather than drag all the toys out!

Jayce doesn't play Wii, but he has to pretend whenever big brother is playing!

 Friday we went Bowling!!  Real Bowling - not Wii Bowling!  It was Riley's first time.  We found out that Chippers lanes does really cheap pre-school bowling on weekday mornings so a bunch of us moms got together to let the kids play.  Riley's friends Jack and MaKenna were there.  He did really good.  They used the racks to roll the balls instead of throwing them, but I made Riley roll it himself a couple times for photos.  He was so cute - he got so excited when he got a spare!!  No strikes for him, but he did pick up a few spares.  Jayce had fun too.  He kept trying to pick up the heavy balls off the rack, thankfully he couldn't!  and his other favorite thing was the fan on the ball return!  So cute!!  Here's some pictures of the day.

First game scores - Riley got an 89 - not bad!!!

Second game score - 109!!  Way to go Riley!!

Tonight our good friends Jackson, Tanner and Ryder are coming over.  Riley has such a good time with them, and they love Riley and Jayce too.  Now if we can just keep Jayce from tackling Ryder we'll be all set!!  lol

MOPS bake sale is tomorrow, so I spent this afternoon baking away.  2 doz. cupcakes and 2 pies later, I'm all set.  Man, I love Pinterest!!  Got both these ideas from there. 

Peppermint Swirl Pie

Red Velvet Kiss-cakes (surprise kiss in the middle!)

 If you don't know what Pinterest is . . . you need to find out!  But only if you have lots of free time because it's super addictive and time consuming!  I could spend hours looking at all the cool things people pin! 
Also tomorrow Daddy is taking Riley to the Monster truck show!  Wow Fun!!  We aren't doing anything special for Valentine's day though.  We aren't much the Valentine's people.  Plus Cameron took me to see Cirque du Soleil last weekend, so I kinda count that as a Valentine's present!  It was so neat!  The acrobatics those people can do is amazing!!  I can't wait to see another show. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
