St Patrick's Day Weekend

What a whirlwind weekend in Denver!! They just seem to go so fast with so many things to do once we get up there!!

Friday evening was SUPPOSED to be an evening of dancing at the Stampede for the adults but then we found out it was closed to the public that evening - bummer - but we decided to have "adult game night" at Jaime's house and there was even free child care at the church for 3 hours!!! Alas, Glenn and I hit horrible traffic on our way up there and an extra long blind appointment repair on the way also made us late...............But we still arrived in good spirits and ate yummy nachos and played part of a game before it was time to pick the kiddos up!!

Saturday morning found Jessi, Jaime and I at Caribou Coffee drinking our FAVORITE drinks with green whipped cream for an hour and a half!!! Now that's unheard of for us to get to have coffee for that long!!

It was beautiful outside and Jaime, Rayna, Kylan and I walked to their park to play for a while - don't you just love their green????

And then it was a mad dash to make green pancakes and green scrambled eggs for lunch!!

After lunch, Jaime and I left for our "laser" appointments - these poor appointments have been booked and re booked I don't know HOW many times!!! It's actually a birthday present from Jaime to me and she was going to have the same thing done - the hair removed above our upper lips!! So we headed to Simplicity Laser and had the first of 8 procedures done!! Yes, it hurt a little bit but wasn't bad at all!! I'm sure the results will be well worth it!!

Next I headed over to Jessi's to spend some time with Evan and Kenzie!! I had found bib snow pants at Walmart for $3.00 apiece so bought them each a pair for next winter - they HAD to try them on of course!!

Rayna had an afternoon birthday party to attend and the guys went fishing and we all ended up at Jessi's house late afternoon for our chicken and guacamole pizza!!! YUM!! The kids sure had the green food planned out well!!

The munchkins were all so cute in their shades of green!!

And FINALLY, it was time to celebrate Rayna's belated 10th birthday and Jaime's upcoming 34th birthday (today!!!) Jessi made a batch of her awesome homemade cinnamon rolls and they were better than any cake we could have made!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYNA AND JAIME!!!

After church on Sunday, we had a fish fry at Jaime's house - Glenn and Brad had went fishing at night and Glenn caught a large catfish!!

So we all pigged out on fish and homemade french fries!!

After a trip to Sprouts, Kohl's and Jessi's work, the day was gone and it was time to head home! Gosh, I wonder what it would be like if we EVER went to Denver without an agenda!!!
