Celebration Day!!

Between Mother's Day, Glenn's birthday on the 22nd and Kylan's birthday on the 25th, it's ONE BUSY MONTH!! SO we try to pick a weekend somewhere in the middle of those dates to all get together!!

Last weekend was our celebration day (yes, I'm behind on my blogs!!) and Saturday was a busy day!! Glenn and I stayed at Jaime and Brad's this time but didn't get to Denver till late Friday night.

Glenn and I got up early, headed to Caribou Coffee to get our drinks (and one for Jessi and Gary) and then headed to Jessi's place - we even got to see Laura, Jessi's bridesmaid from her wedding!! After Laura headed to her seminar, we all climbed into 2 vehicles and went garage saleing! Their subdivision was having their annual garage sales along with a neighboring community so we had LOTS of stops to make!!

Glenn made a haul this time - I'm not sure of everything he bought but the BEST bargain was 2 fabric covered chairs for his office - a bargain at $5.00 each!! I ended up buying about 8 books and a toy for Aleah!

Running late, Jessi, Glenn and I headed over to Jaime's where Jill and her 2 kids had arrived a little bit earlier. Glenn babysat Kylan and Aleah while the rest of us "girls" plus Parker went to brunch for Mother's Day - we had a great meal at La Peep!!



Jaime ran Rayna to a birthday party while the rest of us went to Jessi's new office to see it decorated and to have adjustments!! Nap time for the kiddos was next while Glenn and I ran to Verizon to see about getting him a new cell phone - he opted to just get a new battery for his old phone - and a new case for it - which he has now discovered was a waste of money because he can't HEAR his cell phone ring when it's in the case!!!


Here's a cute pic of Papa with his 2 little girls and their dolls!!


Next on the list was gift opening!! Glenn got a couple of great games that we'll definitely enjoy when we camp and a cute pancake bottle where he can make names and whatever else each child decides they want!!


For Kylan, we bought the cutest little grill that even lights up red when you turn it on! It came with all the accessories too so the boys had fun playing with it!!


After a great meal of tacos (compliments of Jaime), we had birthday cake - one for each birthday!! Glenn's favorite cake is German chocolate with the coconut pecan frosting which nobody else likes - and Jaime was kind enough (or should I say MORE than willing enough) to send the cake home with Glenn so he could share it with his employees!!


Kylan's favorite cake is yellow with chocolate frosting and that's just what he got!! He's such a little ham in front of the camera!!


WHEW - by this time we were all pretty tired from the days' activities!! But took some time to play with little Parker who is now smiling up a storm and giggling - it's SO cute!!


Jill and her kids headed back to Ft. Collins - Jessi and her kids headed home to spend time with Laura - and Jaime, Rayna and I headed to Kohl's!!! Of course I was actually LOOKING for some new clothes and that's the time when you can NEVER find anything!! But I managed to get a cute pair of shoes for the summer so I was excited about that - also a couple of Easter decorations that were on the clearance rack for 90% off!!


What a fun Saturday with the kids and grandkids!!
